3. Cold milk is heated and it becomes hot. Which type of change it is?

Reversible.

4. What type of change is artificial ripening of fruit?

Irreversible chemical change.

5. What type of change is coloring of a paper?

Physical change.

6. Growing of nails is a periodic change. Why?

Growing of nail is a periodic change, because it occurs periodically at regular intervals.

7. What type of energy changes is associated when ice melts?

Melting

Ice  —————>  Water

• Physical change
• Endothermic (heat energy is absorbed)

IX. Short Answer :

1. Distinguish physical and chemical changes

2. How can a change occur in a substance?

A change can occurs in a substance by an alteration in the properties such as colour, texture and the state of the substance since there is formation of a new substance.

3. Can you suggest a method to collect water from sea water?

Evaporation.

4. Is solar eclipse a periodic change? Give your reason.:

Yes, solar eclipse is a periodic change as it occurs after a definite interval of time.

5. What is the difference between dissolution of sugar and burning of sugar?

X. Long answer type question :

1. Explain the following statement: Digestion is a chemical change.

• When we eat, our mouth physically break down food into small pieces.
• Mechanical digestion occurs in the mouth, stomach and small intestine.
• Food is chemically changed in digestion when new, smaller substances are formed.
• Moreover, we will never be able to get back the raw material in the same form as it was before.
• Digestion of food is a permanent change which is irreversible.

2. How the iron blade is fixed into a wooden handle in tools used to dig the soil?

• First the ring in the iron blade of spade is heated.
• Heating of the blade leads to its expansion and thus the ring gets bigger.
• This happens because metals always expand on heating.
• The metal blade is then fitted easily into the wooden handle.
• After this, cold water is usually poured on the iron blade which leads to the contraction of the expanded iron blade.
• The spade can also be left to cool down, undisturbed so that it is firmly fixed, (vu) The blade is attached firmly to the wooden handle of a spade in this process.

XI. Picture based Questions:

1. Observe the picture and list down the changes that are accompanied in the picture.

Physical change Chemical change Exothermic

2. Observe the picture containing a kettle and note that it has salt water in it and answer the following questions.

(a) What is name of the process that is done to the kettle?

Boiling

(b) What will happen to the content of the kettle?

Water in the kettle gets converted into vapour.

(c) What kind of change is occurring on the cold surface of the metal plate?

Endothermic

(d) What can you say about the quality of water that is obtained in the beaker?

Water vapour converted into liquid (condensation)
