One Marks Questions

Question 1. Identify physical or chemical changes in the following:
(a) A rock rolls down a slope
(b) Baking of cake
(c) Plucking of fruit
(d) Burning of L.P.G
(e) Cutting of carrots
Question 2. Explain whether the addition of dilute sulphuric acid to iron is a physical or chemical change.
Question 3. Heating of iodine crystals is considered to be a physical change. Explain.
Question 4. Burning of a candle may be considered as showing physical and chemical changes occurring simultaneously. Explain.

Answer

(1)
(a) Physical change
(b) Chemical change
(c) Physical change
(d) Chemical change
(e) Physical change
(2) It is a chemical change as Iron react with dilute sulphuric acid to form Ferrous sulphate
(3) When iodine crystals are heated, the solid changes to the vapor state i.e., it sublimes. This is identified as a physical change since
(a) The vapors formed settle on the cooler parts of the test tube as solid - so the change is temporary and reversible.
(b) There is no change in mass.
(c) There is no energy (heat) change involved because the heat absorbed when the solid iodine changes to vapor, is given out when the vapor changes back to solid.
(d) The chemical composition of the solid is same as that of the vapor.
(4) When the candle burns, the heated wax melts. The melted wax re-solidifies and no new substance is formed, therefore this is a physical change. However, the wax and the wick continue to burn and produce new substances like carbon dioxide and water vapor. This burning process is a chemical change as it is a permanent change. Also, energy in the form of heat and light is evolved.


Short Answer Questions
