Questions + Answers key
Take MCQ Science Test

1.
(a) What temperature in Kelvin scale is equal to \(50°C\)?
(b) Describe an activity to show that rate of evaporation increases with surface area.
(c) State two differences between evaporation and boiling.
2.
The particles of matter are always moving and are never at rest. At a temperature in any gas, liquid or solid there are particles with different speeds or different amounts of kinetic energy. In case of liquids, a small fraction of the particles at the attraction of other particles and gets converted into vapours.This phenomenon of change of liquid into vapours at any temperature below its boiling point is called evaporation.
How is this property of liquid, particularly, water useful in our daily Give any three examples life.
3.
Since early times human beings have been trying to understand their surroundings. As we look our surroundings we have a larger variety of things with different shapes, sizes and textures. Everything in this universe includes the air we breathe, the food we eat or store, clouds, stars, plants, elements, even a drop of water or a particle of water or a particle of sand. We can also see as we look around us that all the things mentioned are either visible or invisible.
(a) What do you call all these materials in one word?
(b) Write at least two characteristics that you can draw from above observation.
(c) In how many forms these materials are available to us?
(d) Can you consider smell or love as materials?
(e) What social consideration can draw from above findings?
4.
What are the characteristics of the particle of matter?
5.
6.
Suggest a method to liquefy atmospheric gases.
7.
Express the following temperatures in Kelvin scale:
(i) \(25°C\) and
(ii) \(373°C\)
8.
Salt and sugar when kept in different jars take the shape of the jar, yet they are classified as solids.Give reason.
9.
What happens when a crystal of potassium permanganate is dropped in a glass tumbler containing water?What conclusion can you draw?
10.
Define melting point of a solid.At what temperature in the Kelvin scale does ice melt? In the experiment to determine the melting point of ice, why does the temperature not rise till all the ice melts even though heat is continuously supplied.What is this heat energy called?
11.
A wooden chair is a solid at room temperature.Give two reasons.
12.
The sun and stars glow because of the presence of .......... in them.
13.
Evaporation is a ___________ phenomenon.
14.
The mass per unit volume of a substance is called __________
15.
Everything in this universe is made up of material which scientists have named matter.A matter is said to have the following characteristics:
(a) Matter is made up of tiny particles
(b) Particles of matter have space between them
(c) Particles of matter are continuously moving
(d) Particles of matter can diffuse into each other
(e) Particles of matter attract each other
Give experiences of your daily life to justify above characteristics of matter.
1.
(i) 50+273=323K
(ii) Activity Take little amount of water in three containers which have different surface areas. Keep hem in sunlight for 2 h. Measure the volume of water left in all three containers.
Observation The amount of water left will be least in container having largest surface area among them.
Conclusion Greater the surface area, more will be the rate of evaporation.
2.
Evaporation is useful in our life as follows:
1.We wear cotton in summer.During summer we perspire more.These particles gain energy from body surface and due to pores in cotton clothes are able to evaporate.This keeps the body cool.
2.Wet clothes dry up in sunlight
3.After a hot sunny day, we sprinkle water on the roof or open ground because latent heat of vaporisation of water helps us to cool the surface
3.
(a) Matter
(b) Matter occupies space and mass
(c) matter is available to us solid, liquid or gas.
(d) Smell and love cannot be considered as matter as these are only feelings.You cannot assign any be mass or volume to a love or smell
(e) Trivial things can be significant.It should not be ignored.
4.
Characteristics of particles matter are:
(i) Particles of matter have space between them
(ii) Particles of matter are continuously moving and thus possess kinetic energy.
(iii) Particles of matter can diffuse into one another.
(iv) Particles of matter attract each other.The force of attraction varies from one kind of matter to another.
(v) Particles of matter have mass.
5.
6.
Atmospheric gases can be liquefied if a high pressure is applied at some low temperature.
7.
(i) \(25°C\) +273=298K
(ii) \(373°C\) +273=646K
8.
Salt and sugar consist of small particles which have fixed shape.
9.
When a crystal of pottasium permaganate is dropped in a glass tumbler containing water, then the colour of pottasium permanganate spreads throughout the water in the glass.This shows that the particles of matter are continuosly moving.
10.
Melting point is the temperature at which solid remains in equilibrium with its liquid form.Ice melts at 273 K.At 273 K heat given to ice disappears as latent heat of fusion and therefore temperature does not rise till all the ice is melted.
11.
A wooden chair is a solid because
(a) it is rigid.
(b) it has definite shape.
12.
( )
plasma
13.
( )
surface
14.
( )
density
15.
(a) Take a tiny crystal of dry blue ink.Ink is a matter.Dissolve it in 100mL water.The colour of water becomes blue.Dilute 1mL of this blue water with 99mL clear water.Water again becomes blue though intensity of colour decreases.Repeat 2-3 times.The solution obtained remains coloured through intensity of colour decreases gradually.This shows that one tiny crystal of link contains millions of ink particles which are very very small
(b) Add 2g salt in a cylinder containing water marked at 100mL.Salt dissolves and disappears but the volume of water remains at 100 mL mark.This means salt particles get into spaces between water particles.Water is a matter and particles of water have spaces between them.
(c) Put a drop of perfume in one corner of the room.Stand at the other end.Stil you will get smell of perfume.This is because of matter, i.e., perfume are moving with air
(d) In the above case particles of perfume and that of air intermix with each other.This intermixing of particles of two different types of matter on their own is called diffusion.
(e) Open a water tap.Try to break the stream of water with your fingers,You will find that the stream of water does not cut.This is because particles of matter attract each other with a force that keeps the particles together.
