There are three substances $X, Y$ and $Z$. The substance $X$ does not have a fixed melting point or boiling point and it still shows the individual properties of its constituents. The substance $Y$ is a pure substance which occurs in nature as such. The substance $Y$ has a fixed melting point and boiling point but it cannot be broken down into simpler substances by any chemical means. The substance $Z$ is also a pure substance whose properties are entirely different from those of its constituents. The substance $Z$ can, however, be divided by electrolysis into two substances which belong to the same class of substances as $Y$.
  1. What type of substance could $X$ be? Name one substance like $X$.
  2. What type of substance could $Y$ be? Name one substance like $Y$.
  3. What type of substance could $Z$ be? Name one substance like $Z$.
  4. Whish process involves absorption or release of an appreciable amount of energy: formation of substance $X$ or formation of substance $Z$?

When the solid A is added to water, it dissolves with the evolution of a lot of heat and making little explosions to form two products B and C. The properties of products B and C are entirely different from those of solid A as well as water. Moreover, products B and C cannot be reconverted into solid A and water. When another solid D is added to water, it dissolves with the absorption of a little heat to form a product E which cools down. The product E shows the properties of both, solid D as well as water. Moreover, product E can be converted into solid D and water.
  1. What type of change occurs when solid A is dissolved in water? Why?
  2. What type of change occurs when sold D is dissolved in water? Why?
  3. Name a metal which you think could behave like solid A. Also name the products B and C.

Three mixtures $A, B$ and $C$ are obtained by stirring three different solids in water taken in separate beakers. When mixture $A$ is allowed to stand for some time, then its particles settle at the bottom of the beaker. When a beam of light is passed through mixture $A$ in a dark room, the path of light becomes visible when observed from the side of the beaker. When mixture $B$ is allowed to stand for a considerable time, even then its particles do not settle down. Mixture $B$, however, scatters the beam of light just like mixture $A$. The particles of mixture $C$ do not settle down on keeping and it also does not scatter a beam of light passing through it.
  1. What are the mixtures like $A$ known as?
  2. What are the mixtures like $B$ known as?
  3. What are the mixtures like $C$ known as?
