Evaporation of water from the glass
Water that seeped out from the glass
Evaporation of atmospheric water vapour
Condensation of atmospheric water vapour
13.
During summer, Boojho carries water in a transparent plastic bottle to his school. One day, he left his bottle in the school. The bottle still had some water left in it. The next day, he observed some water droplets on the inner surface of the empty portion of the bottle. These droplets of water were formed due to
boiling and condensation
evaporation and saturation
evaporation and condensation
condensation and saturation
14.

Decantation
Evaporation
Sedimentation
Condensation
15.

16.
While preparing chapatis, Paheli found that the flour to be used was mixed with wheat grains. Which out of the following is the most suitable method to separate the grains from the flour?
Threshing
Sieving
Winnowing
Filtration
17.
Four mixtures are given below:
(i) Kidney beans and chickpeas
(ii) Pulses and rice
(iii) Rice flakes and corn
(iv) Potato wafers and biscuits
Which of these can be separated by the method of winnowing?
(i) and (ii)
(ii) and (iii)
(i) and (iii)
(iii) and (iv)
18.
Which amongst the following methods would be most appropriate to separate grains from bundles of stalks?
Handpicking
Winnowing
Sieving
Threshing
19.

21.
Paheli bought some vegetables such as french beans, lady's finger, green chillies, brinjals and potatoes all mixed in a bag. Which of the following methods of separation would be most appropriate for her to separate them?
Winnowing
Sieving
Threshing
Handpicking
1.
Since, clothes may have small holes but filter papers do not have any holes, in fact it has very fine pores in it, hence sand particles settle down on the filter paper while water after very neat pouring reached to vessel.
2.
Winnowing is used to separate grains from impurities like husk by dropping it vertically from a height.
All light impurities are separated by a blowing air or wind and hence, husk from grains are separated easily.
3.
We will separate sand and water from their mixture by the process of sedimentation and decantation.
Sedimentation During this process, we leave mixture for some time, after that the sand which is heavier is settled down at the bottom.
Decantation After the above process, water is poured into another vessel and sand is left in first vessel. Thus, sand and water will be separated from their mixture.
4.
We can separate husk or dirt particles from a given sample of pulses by winnowing. Being lighter, husk particles will fly away from pulses. We can also separate these by handpicking method.
5.
A mixture is made by mixing two or more substances, which can be easily separated. We need to separate different components of a mixture for the following reasons:
(i) To separate two different but useful components.
(ii) To remove non-useful components.
(iii) To remove impurities or harmful components.
Two examples are as follows:
(i) Separation of stones from rice. Here, stones are non-useful component.
(ii) Churning milk to obtain butter. Here, both components are useful.
6.
The materials that can be used are a wire-mesh, a piece of cotton, a piece of fine cloth and strainer.
7.
It is not correct as when a hot saturated solution is cooled, crystals will be formed.
8.
Sieving.
9.
(a) This is done as follows:
(i) Some water is added to the mixture of sand and salt in a beaker and stirred. Salt dissolves in water to form salt solution, whereas sand remains undissolved. It is then filtered.
(ii) On filtering, sand is obtained as a residue on the filter paper and salt solution is obtained as a filtrate. (iii) The filtrate is evaporated and pure salt is left behind.
(b) The mixture of sand and salt has been separated into its components, i.e sand and salt by doing two methods.
(i) Filtration
(ii) Evaporation
(c) Rohit is knowledgeable and intelligent boy.
10.
(a) The process of separation of the lighter particles of a solid from a liquid is known as Churning. It is also known as centrifugation.
(b) The purpose of churning is to remove butter or cream from the curd or milk. So in lassi, there is a less fat content as compared to milk.
(c) Ashraf is curious, scientific and intelligent boy.
11.
(a) They will mix salt with water within a certain amount to make salt solution. Hence, Sarika will make a better salt solution.
(b) Saturation is the point at which a solution of a substance can dissolve no more of that substance and additional amount of that substance will appear as a precipitate, Mohan's solution would be saturated because in Mohan's case, some salt would remain undissolved and settled at the bottom of the glass.
