3. Cold milk is heated and it becomes hot. Which type of change it is?

Cold milk when heated becomes hot. It is a physical change.

4. What type of change is artificial ripening of fruit?

Artificial ripening of fruit involves the use of chemicals. It is a chemical change.

5. What type of change is colouring of a paper?

Colouring of paper is a physical change.

6. Growing of nails is a periodic change. Why?

Nails keep growing little by little every day. The growth is repeated as long as one is alive. So the growing of nails is a periodic change.

7. What type of energy changes is associated when ice melts?

Ice absorbs heat and becomes water. It is an endothermic energy change. Melting of ice involves change in state. Solid state is changed into liquid state. It is a physical change.

 

VIII. Short answer type question

 

1. Distinguish physical and chemical changes.

Physical changes are the changes in which only physical properties of a substance undergo a change and there is no change in its chemical composition.

Changes that occur with the formation of new substance with different chemical composition are called chemical changes. They are associated with the evolution or absorption of heat or light energy.

2. How can a change occur in a substance?

A change may occur in colour, state and texture of a substance. Physical properties such as lustre, malleability and ductility, density, viscosity, solubility, mass, volume undergo some change.

3. Can you suggest a method to collect water from sea water?

Sea water can be boiled and the steam that comes out must be cooled. When steam condenses it becomes water. This water is pure and it is free from salts. This process is known as distillation.

4. Is solar eclipse a periodic change? Give your reason.

The earth and the moon revolve round the sun. When the moon comes in between the sun and the earth, the earth is engulfed in the shadow of the moon. This is called solar eclipse. It occurs at regular intervals. So it is called a periodic change.

5. What is the difference between dissolution of sugar and burning of sugar?

(i) Dissolution of sugar is a physical change. The sugar dissolved in water sets deposited under the water after some time. This is only a temporary change.

(ii) When sugar is burnt it undergoes chemical change and only black carbon remains as residue. We cannot get back sugar from it. So it is called a chemical change. 

 

IX. Long answer type question

 

1. Explain the following statement: Digestion is a chemical change.

Digestion is a chemical change. The food we eat is chewed in the mouth. The enzymes in the saliva bring about some changes in the food. Then it goes to the stomach. It is broken down into smaller and smaller components. A number of enzymes play important roles in digesting carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. The smaller substances are absorbed by small intestines. Then they join the blood stream. Thus during digestion, many changes take place in the food we eat. From the enzymes in saliva to the enzymes in the stomach many enzymes act on the food and bring about chemical changes. These changes are permanent and irreversible. So digestion is called a chemical change.

2. How the iron blade is fixed into a wooden handle in tools used to dig the soil?

It is not easy to fix a wooden handle into hole in the iron blade. To fix it, they heat the hole of the iron blade. When it is heated sufficiently the hole in the iron blade expands. Now one end of the wooden handle is inserted into the hole easily. Then cool water is sprayed on the iron blade. On cooling the hole contracts and it grips the wooden handle tightly. This kind of heating and cooling brings about a physical change.

 

X. Higher order Thinking questions

 

1. Peeled and unpeeled banana does not look the same. Does that mean peeling banana is a chemical change?

A peeled banana is exposed to air. It reacts with the gases in the air and changes colour. So the peeled banana undergoes a chemical change. As the unpeeled banana is protected by a skin it doesn't undergo any change.

2. A very hot glass on putting in cold water cracks. What does this change indicate?

A hot glass is in an expanded state. When cold water is put in it the hot glass shrinks suddenly. As a result it cracks. This is a physical change brought about by heat and coldness. The glass may crack but it does not undergo any chemical change. 

3. Boiling of water is a physical change; but boiling of egg is a chemical change. Why?

The boiled water becomes steam. When the steam is cooled, we get water once again. This is a change of state and it is a physical change.

But when egg is boiled, the contents of the egg undergo permanent, irreversible chemical changes. We cannot bring the egg to its former position. So it is called a chemical change.
