CHANGES AROUND US MCQs
:
B
When a melted chocolate is kept in a refrigerator it solidifies on cooling. However when it will be kept at room temperature, it will absorb heat and melt again. Hence, it is a reversible process..
:
A
The changes that can be undone are reversible change. Growing of moustache over a boy's face can be undone by shaving it. So it is a reversible change.
:
B
On heating a metal expands. However on cooling it contracts. Hence, the given statement is false.
:
B
Making stars by cutting it out from a paper isn't a reversible change because once you cut out a star you can't join it back to make the same paper. Since we started making the stars out of a plane big sheet of paper and ended up with the stars, we cannot join the star back to get the complete sheet of paper back.
:
A
When a metal is heated, it expands and when it is cooled, it contracts. So, heating and cooling both brings about a change. Hence, both the statements are correct.
:
B
When we burn a candle the melted wax can be solidified. However, the wick of the candle once burnt cannot be regained or reproduced. Hence, the burning of a candle is an irreversible change as we can use the molten wax to make the candle again(after solidifying) however we will require a new wick.
:
A
Changes which can't be reversed are called irreversible changes.
When we cook an omelette, the raw egg gets converted into a semi-solid substance which has different chemical properties. We cannot get the raw egg back from the omelette. Hence, it is an irreversible change.
:
B
Not all changes around us are desired. There are many changes which can harm us. For example, global warming changes the temperature of our planet. However, if the temperature of the earth increases beyond a certain limit, it will become inhabitable for mankind.
:
C
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. Whereas when a plane drawn on a paper is cut out, then it cannot be put back at the same position, this change is permanent. Hence this change is irreversible.
:
A
Sand castles can be broken back to sand, so it is a reversible change. On the other hand, making egg omelette, cutting of trees and burning petrol are irreversible as they cannot be brought back to their original state.
