PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL CHANGES MCQs

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)

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.

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

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+H2O→Mg(OH)2

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