Which of the following are chemical changes?
(a) Growth of a plant
(b) Rusting of iron
(c) Mixing of iron filings and sand
(d) Cooking of food
(e) Digestion of food
(f) Freezing of water
(g) Burning of a candle.
(a). Growth of a plant is a chemical change because at the time of photosynthesis, plants convert sunlight into chemical energy and this is an irreversible process.
(b). Rusting of iron is a chemical change because there is formation of new substance i.e.- Fe2O3, xH2O (Rust).
(c). Mixing of iron filings and sand is a physical change process.
(d). Cooking of food in a chemical change because there is change in chemical composition by supplying heat in addition to some food additives, oil, butter etc.
(e). Digestion of food is à chemical change because the enzyme present in stomach are break large macromolecules into simple molecules.
(f). Freezing of water is a physical change. because there is change in physical state of water notinitis composition.
(g). Burning of a candle is a chemical change because there is emission of CO2 and water vapours during the burning of candles.

(d) Different pigments from an extract of flower petals.
(e) Butter from curd.
(f) Oil from water.
(g) Tea leaves from tea.
(h) Iron pins from sand.
(i) Wheat grains from husk.
(j) Fine mud particles suspended in water.
Which of the following has more inertia: (a) a rubber ball and a stone of the same size? (b) a bicycle and a train? (c) a five-rupees coin and a one-rupee coin?
State the universal law of gravitation.
Which of the following are matter?
Chair, air, love, smell, hate, almonds, thought, cold, cold-drink, smell of perfume.
A force of 7 N acts on an object. The displacement is, say 8 m, in the direction of the force (Fig. 11.3). Let us take it that the force acts on the object through the displacement. What is the work done in this case?
How does the sound produced by a vibrating object in a medium reach your ear?
In a reaction, 5.3 g of sodium carbonate reacted with 6 g of ethanoic acid. The products were 2.2 g of carbon dioxide, 0.9 g water and 8.2 g of sodium observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.
sodium carbonate + ethanoic acid → sodium ethanoate + carbon dioxide + water
What are canal rays?
State any two conditions essential for good health.
How is our atmosphere different from the atmospheres on Venus and Mars?
Who discovered cells, and how?
When 3.0 g of carbon is burnt in 8.00 g oxygen, 11.00 g of carbon dioxide is produced. What mass of carbon dioxide will be formed when 3.00 g of carbon is burnt in 50.00 g of oxygen? Which law of chemical combination will govern your answer?
Define average power.
A mass of 10 kg is at a point A on a table. It is moved to a point B. If the line joining A and B is horizontal, what is the work done on the object by the gravitational force? Explain your answer.
How do annelid animals differ from arthropods?
According to the third law of motion when we push on an object, the object pushes back on us with an equal and opposite force. If the object is a massive truck parked along the roadside, it will probably not move. A student justifies this by answering that the two opposite and equal forces cancel each other. Comment on this logic and explain why the truck does not move.
You find your mass to be 42 kg on a weighing machine. Is your mass more or less than 42 kg?
What causes winds?
How is our atmosphere different from the atmospheres on Venus and Mars?
How do biotic and abiotic factors affect crop production?
