Topics to study from the chapter "Physical and Chemical Changes" are:
1. Physical Changes
– Changes in size, shape, color, and state of a substance
– Reversibility of physical changes
– Examples of physical changes (like cutting paper, melting ice)
2. Chemical Change
– Rusting of iron as a familiar example
– Formation of new substances in chemical changes
– Reactions involving magnesium (burning magnesium, forming magnesium oxide)
– Reaction of copper sulphate with iron to form iron sulphate and copper
– Vinegar and baking soda reaction producing carbon dioxide and its test with lime water
These topics cover the distinction between physical and chemical changes, examples of each, and reactions involving specific substances like magnesium and copper sulphate7.
What are the two broad categories of changes discussed in the chapter?
Physical and Chemical changes
Define physical change with an example from the chapter.
A physical change is a change in which a substance undergoes a change in its physical properties. For example, cutting a piece of paper into smaller squares in Activity 6.1 is a physical change.
Explain the process of rusting of iron as described in the chapter.
Rusting of iron is the process where a piece of iron acquires a film of brownish substance when left in the open for some time. This substance is called rust. Rusting is a chemical change involving the formation of a new substance.
What chemical reaction takes place when magnesium burns, as mentioned in the chapter?
When magnesium burns, it reacts with oxygen to form magnesium oxide. The reaction can be represented as: Magnesium (Mg) + Oxygen (O2) -> Magnesium oxide (MgO)
Describe the experiment in Activity 6.7 related to copper sulphate and iron. What are the new substances formed in this activity?
In Activity 6.7, a nail or a used shaving blade is dropped into a copper sulphate solution. The blue solution turns green due to the formation of iron sulphate, and a brown deposit forms on the iron object, which is copper. The new substances formed in this activity are iron sulphate and copper.
