SUBJECT: SCIENCE
CHAPTER : 5 Changes around us

Short answer type questions.


Q1. What are the three states of
matter?
An. The three forms (states) of matter
are:
i) Solid
ii)Liquid and
iii) Gas.

Q2. Which matter is found in all the


three states in nature?
An. In nature, water is the only
substance which is found in all the three
states: Ice (solid), water (liquid) and
vapour (gas).

Q3. How do the following changes


differ from one another?
An. a. Melting of wax is a physical
change (reversible).
b. Burning of wax is a chemical
(irreversible) change.
Q4. What do you understand by
solubility of substance?
An. Solubility is the ability of a
substance to get dissolved in a liquid.

Q5. What is the effect of heat on


the solubility of a solute?
An. Solubility of a solute increases with
increase intemperature of the solvent.

Q6. How do we obtain a saturated


solution of solute?
An. When no more of solute can be
dissolved in the taken quantity of a
solvent, the solution is said to be
saturated.

Q7. How does change of state of


water in nature serves us?
An. Change of state of water in nature
serves us by the following ways;
i) Moisture in the air.
ii) Clouds in the sky.
iii) Rain and snow from the cloud.
iv) Water to drink and for our daily use.
v) Ice stored as snow on high hills and
to cool our drinks.

Q8. Why is a gap left in between


the joint of two running rails on rail
track?
An. Gap is left in between two rails on
railway track because during summer,
the rails expand and the gap between
the rails is reduced. During winter, the
rails contract and they come back to
normal size.

Long answer type questions.


Q1. What are reversible changes?
How do they differ from irreversible
changes? Explain giving examples.
An. Reversible change is that in
which the changed form is obtained
back in its original form on reversing the
cause of the change.

For example water (liquid) on heating


changes to vapour (gas state) and
vapour on cooling reverses to water
state. On deep cooling water freezes to
ice (solid state) and ice onwarming
melts into water (liquid state).

Irreversible change is that in which


new substance/s are formed and we do
not get the original substance back on
reversing the cause of the change.

For example, Boiled egg cannot be


reversed to raw egg.

Q2. Explain the term: ‘Solute’,


‘Solvent’, and ‘Solution’.
An.Solute:A substance which is
dissolved in a liquid is called a solute.

Solvent:The liquid in which the solute


dissolved is called a solvent. 48

Solution:The mixture of a solute and a


solvent is called the solution.

Solute + Solvent = Solution

Q3. Why does a burning candle get


shorter?
An. On heating the wax melts and rises
through the wick. This molten wax burns
and gives out heat andlight. So, the size
of candle becomes shorter and shorter
with time.

Q4. Is this true that water contracts


on cooling but it expands when
frozen to ice?
An. On cooling, water contracts till it
reaches a temperature of zero degree
centigrade. If it is cooled further, it
starts freezing. Then it expands and
form ice.
Temperature of water while changing to
ice remains at zero degree and there is
nofurther lowering of temperature. Due
to expansion in volume of water
changing to ice, ice gets lighter than
water and it floats on water.

Q5. A piece of iron on heating gets


red-hot and on rusting it changes to
reddish brown powder. What
general name is given to each of
these changes?
An. On heating a piece of iron gets to
red-hot. The iron becomes soft and it
can be hammered to a desired shape.
This is physical (reversible) change.

The iron which turns into reddish brown


powder is called rusting. It is a
chemical(Irreversible) change.

Q6. Name the kind of change taking


place in the following:
An6. (a) A potter shaping wet clay into
pots: Physical change (reversible)
(b) Potter bakes these pots in an
oven: Chemicalchange (Irreversible)

Q7. Give an example of a useful


change and an example of a
harmful change.
An. Useful change: eg.: Making of
curd from milk.
Harmful change: e.g.: Rusting of iron.
