Question 101.


When carbon dioxide is passed through limewater, it turns milky due to the formation of ____________.


  1.     calcium carbonate
  2.     calcium bicarbonate
  3.     calcium oxide
  4.     carbon monoxide
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> calcium carbonate
:
A

When carbon dioxide is passed through limewater, it turns milky due to the formation of calcium carbonate. The reaction involved is given below:


Ca(OH)2(aq)+CO2(g)CaCO3(s)+H2O(l)


Question 102.


A student is heating some substance and noted an observation. When solid iodine is heated, a violet vapour is seen. Name the process taking place in this case.


  1.     Galvanization
  2.     Thermal decomposition
  3.     Sublimation
  4.     Solidification
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Sublimation
:
C

Sublimation refers to a change of state from solid to gas without the intermediate formation of a liquid.Usually, the gas returns to the solid state on cooling. Here, solid iodine converts to violet vapours of iodine.


Question 103.


When carbon dioxide is passed through lime water, it turns lime water _________


  1.     red
  2.     milky
  3.     green
  4.     blue
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> milky
:
B

When carbon dioxide is passed through lime water, it turns lime water milky due to formation of calcium carbonate.


Question 104.


What happens when magnesium oxide is dissolved in water?


  1.     Magnesium is formed
  2.     Magnesium hydroxide is formed
  3.     Magnesium dioxide is formed
  4.     Magnesium carbonate is formed
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Magnesium hydroxide is formed
:
B

When magnesium oxide is dissolved in water, magnesium hydroxide is formed. So, the reaction between magnesium oxide and water is a chemical change, as a new substance(magnesium hydroxide) is formed.


MgO+H2OMg(OH)2


 


Question 105.


Which of the following option(s) is/are correct?


  1.     In a physical change, no new substance is formed whereas in a chemical change, a new substance is formed.
  2.     In a physical change, a new substance is formed whereas in a chemical change, no new substance is formed.
  3.     No new substances are formed in both physical and chemical changes.
  4.     A new substance is formed in both physical and chemical changes.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> In a physical change, no new substance is formed whereas in a chemical change, a new substance is formed.
:
A

A change can be physical or chemical, depending on whether or not it involves the formation of a new substance.
In a physical change, the product formed has the same properties as the original substance whereas, in a chemical change, the product formed has different properties than the original substance. Some of the examples of physical changes are melting of ice, cutting a fruit,etc. Some of the examples of chemical changes are burning of wood, rusting of iron, etc.


Which Of The Following Option(s) Is/are correct?


Question 106.


Rusting of iron can be prevented by:


  1.     painting
  2.     galvanizing
  3.     scrubbing
  4.     heating
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> painting
:
A and B

Two methods by which rusting of iron can be prevented are Painting and galvanizing.


Question 107.


Which of the following changes indicate that a chemical change has not been taken place?


  1.     No new substance is formed
  2.     Absorption or release of heat
  3.     Change in colour
  4.     Evolution of gas
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> No new substance is formed
:
A
A chemical change is a permanent change in which new substances are formed that are entirely different from the original substance. 
It is usually accompanied by:
change in colour
formation of new substances
evolution of gas
 release or absorption of energy in the form of heat or light or sound, etc.
Question 108.


An artist made a statue of stone but he could not get the entire stone block back. This is a physical change.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     No new substances are formed in both physical and chemical changes.
  4.     A new substance is formed in both physical and chemical changes.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A

The statue is made of the same stone and changes made during the making of statue changes the physical properties of a substance. Hence, this kind of change is known as a physical change. It is not a chemical change because no new substance is formed as only the shape (physical property) of the stone is changed.


Question 109.


Changes in which new substances are formed are called __ changes.


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:

Changes in which new substances are formed are called chemical changes.
Chemical changes occur when a substance combines with another to form a new substance, called synthesis or, alternatively, decomposes into two or more different substances. At the molecular level, chemical change involves making or breaking of bonds between atoms.


Question 110.


Chemical changes are mostly irreversible.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     Change in colour
  4.     Evolution of gas
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A

A change in which new substance is formed, whose composition and properties are different from those of the original substance is known as a chemical change. The change is permanent and cannot be reversed. So, chemical changes are mostly irreversible and physical changes are reversible. Hence, the given statement is true.
