Question 31. Which of the following is not a physical property of a substance?
  1.    Shape
  2.    Flammability
  3.    Colour
  4.    Density
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Flammability
:
B
Physical properties can be observed or measured without changing the composition of matter. They are used to describematter.
Physical propertiesinclude appearance, texture, colour, odour, melting point, boiling point, density, solubility and many others.Flammability is a chemical property of a substance.
Question 32. 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 33. 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 34. Burning of wood and cutting it into small pieces are considered as two different types of changes. 
  1.    True
  2.    False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Burning of wood is a chemical change in which a new substance along with heat isproduced whereas cutting of wood into small pieces is a physical change as it does not result in the formation of a new substance with different chemical properties. Hence, the given statement is correct.
Question 35. Global warming is caused by carbon monoxide gas.
  1.    True
  2.    False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
This statement is false as global warming is caused by increasing amount of carbon dioxide gas.
Question 36. 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 37. The dissolution of sugar in water is a _________ change.
  1.    physical
  2.    chemical
  3.    irreversible
  4.    non-desirable
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> physical
:
A
The change in which chemical properties of the original substance remains unchanged and no new substance is formed is called physical change.
Dissolution of sugar in wateris a physical change because it does not result in the formation of a new substance. It is a reversible change as sugar and water can be extracted back from the solution.
Question 38. 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 39. The process of coating a layer of zinc over iron articles is known as __.
 Discuss Question

:
The process of coating a layer of zinc over iron articles is known as galvanization.In this process, a layer of metal such as chromium, or zinc is deposited on iron which helps to prevent the iron objects from rusting. The iron pipes we use in our homes to carry water are galvanised to prevent rusting.
Question 40. Crystals of copper sulphate are prepared by the method of:
  1.    Melting
  2.    Crystallisation
  3.    Solidification
  4.    Evaporation
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Crystallisation
:
B
Crystals of copper sulphate are prepared by the method of crystallisation.
The process is as follows:
A cup full of water is taken in a beaker. The water is then heated and when it starts boiling, copper sulphate powder is addedwith stirring. Copper sulphate powder should be added till no more powder can be dissolved. It is then filtered into a china dish and allowed to cool. The solution should be kept undisturbed. After some time, you will see the crystals of copper sulphate.
