Give an example of a chemical reaction for each of the following situations
(i) A change in colour is observed.
(II) A gas is evolved.
(III) Sound is produced.
Answer
(i) Chemical reaction between copper sulphate solution and iron metal. In this reaction, blue colour of copper sulphate solution changes to light green colour due to the formation of iron sulphate.

Question 73 Marks
Write the differences between physical and chemical changes.
Answer
Differences between physical and chemical changes are as follows
Physical changeChemical change
No new substance is formedNew substance is formed.
It is a temporary changeIt is a permanent change.
Physical change is easily reversible.Chemical change is irreversible.
Very little energy (heat, etc.) is absorbed or given out in a physical change.A lot of energy (in the form of heat, light, sound etc.) is absorbed or given out in a chemical change.

Question 83 Marks
Explain how painting of an iron gate prevents it from rusting?
Answer
Some methods of prevention of rusting are given below
(i) The simple method is to coat the iron with oil, grease or paint. These coats should be applied regularly to prevent rusting.
(ii) A more efficient method is to coat the iron with another metal such as zinc or chromium. The process of depositing a layer of zinc on iron is called galvanisation. The iron pipes used in our homes to carry water are galvanised to prevent rusting.
(iii) It can also be prevented by making alloys, e.g. stainless steel. Stainless steel is made by mixing iron with carbon and metals like chromium, nickel and manganese. It does not rust.

Question 93 Marks
When baking soda is mixed with lemon juice, bubbles are formed with the evolution of a gas. What type of change is it? Explain.
Answer
When baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is mixed with lemon juice (citric acid), a chemical change occurs. In this reaction, new substances like carbon dioxide is formed and heat is evolved. This change is irreversible hence, it is a chemical change.
The reaction takes place as

Question 113 Marks
Explain, how rusting damages iron objects?
Answer
Rusting damages iron objects because it forms rust, which is a flaky and weak substance.
Rust causes the iron to lose its strength and shine, making it brittle and weak.
Over time, this leads to the gradual deterioration of iron objects, making them useless.

Question 123 Marks
What happens when magnesium oxide is dissolved in water? Write a word equation for this process. Name the type of change which takes place.
Answer
When magnesium oxide is dissolved in water, it reacts with water to form magnesium hydroxide, which is slightly soluble in water and gives a basic solution.
The word equation for this reaction is:
Magnesium oxide + Water → Magnesium hydroxide
This is a chemical change because a new substance with different properties is formed.
