Question 51.


Which among the following is a reversible change?


  1.     Formation of curd
  2.     Baking bread.
  3.     Orange juice is frozen to make ice lollies.
  4.     Chopping off a mango into pieces
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Orange juice is frozen to make ice lollies.
:
C
Changes that can be undone are called reversible changes. In the above-given options, only orange juice, which is frozen into ice-lollies, can be melted to give back the orange juice. So, it is a reversible change.
All of the other changes are irreversible.
Question 52.


A piece of paper is used to make a paper plane. This is a ___________ change.
A Piece Of Paper Is Used To Make A Paper Plane. This Is A __...
 


  1.     reversible
  2.     irreversible
  3.     permanent
  4.     periodic
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> reversible
:
A

A reversible change is a change which can be undone.
When a paper is folded to make a paper plane, we have changed the shape of the paper. But, it is not permanent. We can unfold the paper and bring it back to its original shape. This makes it a reversible change. 


Question 53.


This is year 348 BC. Aristotle is a famous Greek philosopher and scientist. One day he suddenly wakes up into future - The year 2017. He observes that the world has changed a lot.
Out of the following observations made by him, which observations are examples of change?


  1.     People are using cars as a mode of transportation instead of a bullock cart
  2.     After a while, he feels thirsty and his thirst was quenched by drinking water 
  3.     He was watching a motion picture(TV)
  4.     He saw cows grazing grass in the field
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> People are using cars as a mode of transportation instead of a bullock cart
:
A and C

  • Cars were not present in 348 BC but in 2017 people use cars as a mode of transportation so it's a change.

  • Both in 348 BC and 2017 AD, his thirst is quenched by water so it's not a change.

  • TV was not present in 348 BC but in 2017 it was a reality so it's a change.

  • Cows used to graze fields in 348 BC and in 2017 AD also so it's not a change.


Hence, only the observations about the car and the TV are changes.


Question 54.


Which of the following is both reversible as well as irreversible change?


  1.     Formation of curd from milk.
  2.     Melting of wax on burning of a candle.
  3.     There is no such case possible in general.
  4.     Both melting of wax and formation of curd from milk.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> There is no such case possible in general.
:
C
Formation of curd from milk is an irreversible change, as milk cannot be obtained back from curd.
Melting of wax in a candle is a reversible change, as wax can be, solidified and can be converted back to a candle.
In general, changes around us are either reversible or irreversible.
Question 55.


Chanakya on his way home saw a farmer digging the soil. He observed that digging tool had an iron blade fixed to a wooden handle. He wondered how the iron blade gets fixed to a wooden handle even when the iron ring is smaller than a wooden handle. What do you think can be the way to do this?


  1.     Heating the iron ring
  2.     Cooling the iron ring
  3.     Cutting the iron ring
  4.     Welding the iron ring
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Heating the iron ring
:
A
On heating the iron ring, it expands and so it becomes bigger in size. The wooden handle can go into the bigger hole. When iron rim is cooled it contracts and fits the wooden handle tightly. This same principle is used in many applications where a snug fit is required in metallic parts.
Question 56.


Rumi had doubts in his mind that, "Are changes helpful in life?”. To answer his question, the teacher asked him to do an activity. He asked the student to classify following changes into helpful and non-helpful from their perspective. 


1.Farmers harvesting crop


2.Ripening of Fruits


3.Rancidity of food


  1.     Helpful change - 1, 3; Non-helpful change - 2
  2.     Helpful change - 1, 2; Non-helpful change - 3 
  3.     Helpful change - 1; Non-helpful change - 2, 3
  4.     Helpful change - 3; Non-helpful change - 1,2 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Helpful change - 1, 2; Non-helpful change - 3 
:
B

1.The farmers harvesting crop is helpful as the crops after processing give us grains, which are essential for nutrition and survival.


2.Ripening of fruits is helpful change as fruits become sweeter after they ripe and so become tastier.


3.Rancidity of food is non-helpful as food gets stale and not suitable for consumption.


Hence, all changes are not helpful.


Question 57.


Forest fire is a reversible change.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     Change that can be undone is irreversible change and change that can't be undone is reversible change.
  4.     There are many ways in which change can be brought, such as, heating, cooling, etc.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
Forest fires are irreversible changes. It is not possible to get back the forest in the exact same condition as before. Forest burns to produce some new material. These are ash and some gases. We cannot see these gases but can sense them due to their pleasant smell.
Question 58.


Identify the incorrect option from the following.


  1.     Changes are the differences in the state of affairs.
  2.     Changes can be classified into various classes- reversible, irreversible, periodic, non periodic, desirable and undesirable.  
  3.     Change that can be undone is irreversible change and change that can't be undone is reversible change.
  4.     There are many ways in which change can be brought, such as, heating, cooling, etc.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Change that can be undone is irreversible change and change that can't be undone is reversible change.
:
C

All the other points mentioned are correct except this. It should be: "Changes that can be undone are reversible change while the changes that can't be undone are irreversible change.”


For example, evaporation of water to become water vapour is a reversible change as it can be condensed back to water whereas baking bread is irreversible change as baked bread can't be unbaked.


Question 59.


When a change can be reversed, meaning when we can get back the original product, it is a reversible change.


  1.     False
  2.     True
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> True
:
B
A paper boat can be made from a paper and then by unfolding it, it can be converted back to the same paper. Thus, this is a reversible change. Melting of ice, folding of paper, water turning into vapour, inflation of balloon are some of the examples of a reversible change.
Question 60.


Which among the following types of change are being depicted in the below figure?
Which Among The Following Types Of Change Are Being Depicted...


  1.     Irreversible and physical
  2.     Reversible and physical
  3.     Irreversible and chemical
  4.     Reversible and chemical
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Irreversible and physical
:
A
Changes which can't be reversed are called irreversible changes.
The change in which the composition of the original substance remains unchanged and no new substance is formed during a change is called physical change.
The figure depicts the cutting of an apple. Cutting of an apple is an irreversible change, as we cannot get the whole apple back in its original shape from the cut apple. It is also a physical change as apple's physical structure gets changed and no new product is formed in the process.
