Chapter 01: World of Matter

1.3 Change of state *8. What is the physical state of water at: i. 257 °C ii. 100 °C iii. 0 °C Ans: i. At 257 °C, water is in gaseous state. ii. At 100 C, water co-exists in liquid and

gaseous state. iii. At 0 C, water co-exists in the solid and

liquid state. 1.4 Evaporation, cooling by evaporation,

condensation 9. Why does a desert cooler cools better on a

hot dry day? Ans: i. On a hot dry day, the temperature is

higher. Thus, there is more dryness in the surrounding air (i.e., relative humidity of the air is low).

ii. At a high temperature, rate of evaporation is more. Thus, a desert cooler produces more cooling which results in large fall in the temperature of its surrounding air.

Hence, a desert cooler cools better on a hot dry day.

#10. Why do we wear cotton clothes in summer? Ans: i. The temperature of the surrounding

becomes very high in summer due to which we feel hot and sweat.

ii. Cotton clothes absorb sweat easily. iii. Heat is taken from the body for

evaporation of sweat. iv. Thus, due to evaporation of sweat, body

temperature remains constant. Hence, we wear cotton clothes in summer. #11. We find dewdrops, especially in the early

morning on the leaves. Why? Ans: i. A given volume of air can hold a certain

maximum amount of water vapour at a particular temperature.

ii. As the temperature falls, the capacity of air to hold water vapour becomes less.

iii. During cold nights, the temperature of air may fall to dew point or below the dew point.

iv. Thus, excess of water vapour in air condenses to form drops which falls on the leaves at night.

Hence, we find dewdrops, especially in the early morning on the leaves.

1.6 Absorption of heat #12. Why do we paint the outer side of the

container of a solar cooker with black paint?

Ans: i. In a solar cooker, the food is cooked due to the heat energy obtained from the sun.

ii. A black surface absorbs about 98% of the incident heat radiation that falls on it.

iii. Due to this, the temperature of the solar cooker increases and the food is cooked properly.

Hence, we paint the outer side of the container of a solar cooker with black paint.

#13. Why do cricketers playing test match wear

white clothes? Ans: i. Different colours absorb heat in

different proportions. ii. White clothes reflect most of the radiant

heat falling on them. iii. Therefore, cricketers do not feel much

warmth even though it is hot outside. Hence, cricketers playing test match wear

white clothes. #14. Traditionally umbrellas are black in colour.

Why are they better than coloured ones?

Ans: i. A black surface absorbs about 98% of the incident heat radiation that falls on it.

ii. So, the black coloured umbrella absorbs the heat radiations and does not allow heat radiations to pass through.

Hence, black umbrellas are better than coloured ones.

#15. When you go for trekking, which coloured

cap do you prefer to use? Ans: White colour reflects most of the heat

radiations that falls on it.

Hence, when going for trekking, it is preferable to use white coloured cap.

#16. In the state of Rajasthan the temperatures

are very high in summer. Which colour for the roof is preferable in such regions?

Ans: i. In Rajasthan, where the temperatures are very high in summer, white colour for the roof is preferable.

ii. Due to this, the heat is reflected and the temperature of the house remains low.

1.3 Change of state 1. Describe the change of phase or change of

state of matter when energy is supplied or taken away from a substance.

Ans: Change of phase:

i. The phase or state of matter can change when the temperature changes.

ii. When the temperature is increased, solid gets converted into liquid and liquid gets converted into gas.

iii. As the temperature rises, matter moves to a more active state.

iv. If energy is supplied (like increasing the

temperature or increasing the pressure) or if energy is taken away (like decreasing the temperature or decreasing the pressure), a physical change occurs.

*2. The smell of hot sizzling food reaches you

several meters away, but to get the smell from cold food, we have to go close. Why?

Ans: i. The gas molecules from the hot sizzling food mix with air easily as these molecules have a lot of energy. Hence, the smell of hot sizzling food spread around in all the directions and reaches several meters away.

ii. But the gas molecules from cold food cannot mix easily with air as these molecules have low energy due to its low temperature.

Hence, we have to go close to get the smell from cold food.

1.4 Evaporation, cooling by evaporation,

condensation 3. How does the condensation and evaporation

process keep the earth’s climate balanced? Ans: i. Condensation is the formation of liquid

drops from vapour. ii. It usually occurs when a parcel of rising

air expands and cools. iii. If it cools enough, some of the water

vapour molecules clump together at a faster rate.

iv. This process creates clouds which results in rain and snow, causing the earth’s climate to become cooler.

v. When cloud form, the heat removed from the earth’s surface through evaporation is released again in the atmosphere.

Thus, the earth’s climate remains balanced. 1.5 Sublimation #4. How would you separate the mixture of

sand and iodine crystals? Ans: i. In the mixture of sand and iodine

crystals, sand is not sublimatory while iodine is a sublimatory substance.

ii. By using sublimation method, we can separate the constituents of this mixture.

iii. Take this mixture in a china dish. iv. Put an inverted gas funnel over it. Place

a cotton plug in its stem. v. Heat the china dish. Iodine undergoes

sublimation and its vapours get condensed on the inner side of the funnel and cotton plug. Sand will remain in the china dish.

1.4 Evaporation, cooling by evaporation,

condensation 1. Evaporation Ans: i. Evaporation is the process by which a

liquid gets converted into the gaseous form at any temperature below its boiling point.

ii. All liquids can evaporate at room temperature and normal air pressure.

iii. In this process, atoms or molecules escape from the liquid and turn into vapour.

iv. There are always a few atoms or molecules with a lot of energy and some with very low energy.

v. The atoms or molecules with lot of energy are able to build up enough energy to get converted into gaseous state.

vi. Once they reach that energy level, they leave the liquid state. As a result the liquid gets evaporated.

vii. The rate of evaporation depends upon the surface area, temperature, humidity, wind speed, etc.

1.2 States of matter 1. Solids are rigid. Ans: i. In solids, the particles are closely

packed together and the forces holding these particles are strong.

ii. As a result, solids are almost incompressible.

iii. Their volume is not changed by any outside force and their shape remains unchanged even if an external force is applied.

Hence, solids are rigid. 2. Gases are more compressible than liquids. Ans: i. In liquids, the distance between the

neighbouring particles is less than those in the gases.

ii. In gases, the particles have high energy. They spread out to fill the container and

there are no forces to stop them from going apart.

iii. Thus, in gases, the particles are very far apart and the forces of attraction between the particles are extremely weak as compared to liquids.

Hence, gases are more compressible than liquids.

3. Some liquids like honey flow slowly, while

other liquids such as kerosene flow rapidly. Ans: i. The differences in flow rate is due to the

property of viscosity. ii. More viscous a liquid, less is its rate of

flow. iii. Honey is more viscous than kerosene. Hence, some liquids like honey flow slowly,

while other liquids such as kerosene flow rapidly.

*4. A gas exerts pressure on the walls of a

closed container. Ans: i. In the gaseous state, the particles of a

gas move with a very high speed in all directions.

ii. Due to this, the particles collide with the walls of the closed container, where a pressure is created.

Hence, a gas exerts pressure on the walls of a closed container.

*5. In LPG cylinder, the gas filled is in the

liquefied state. Ans: i. Gases are highly compressible. They

can be compressed into very small volumes by applying high pressure.

ii. This process converts the gas into a liquid.

iii. As a result, a large volume of gas can be compressed into a liquid and stored in small LPG cylinders. Such cylinders can be easily transported from one place to another.

Hence, in LPG cylinder, the gas filled is in the liquefied state.

1.4 Evaporation, cooling by evaporation,

condensation 6. The tea in a saucer gets cooled faster than

in a cup. Ans: i. When we pour very hot tea in a saucer,

it cools quickly due to the process of evaporation.

ii. Evaporation takes place only at the surface of a liquid.

iii. The rate of evaporation is directly proportional to the surface area of a liquid.

iv. The exposed surface area of the tea in saucer is greater than the exposed surface area of the tea in a cup.

Hence, tea poured in a saucer gets cooled faster than in a cup.

1.5 Sublimation 7. Naphthalene balls disappear over a period of

time, without leaving behind any solid particles.

Ans: i. Naphthalene balls sublimate at room temperature.

ii. All its molecules go into vapour phase without changing into liquid.

iii. This process takes place when naphthalene balls absorb heat energy from the surrounding, which occurs slowly but continuously.

Hence, naphthalene balls disappear over a period of time, without leaving behind any solid particles.

change. ii. In freezing (i.e., in conversion of water

to ice), energy is taken away from water. So, water releases energy to get converted into ice.

2. In the following figure, water changes to

hydrogen peroxide: i. Which type of change is observed in

the process? ii. Does the process involve change in

basic chemical structure of water? Ans: i. In the given process, chemical change is

observed. ii. Yes, the process involves change in

basic chemical structure of water as the water molecule (H2O) is converted to hydrogen peroxide molecule (H2O2).

3. Observe the following figure which shows the heating of ammonium chloride:

Activity … II (Textbook page no. 1) Ans: i. No, we cannot count the number of

particles present in a piece of chalk. ii. The cotton cloth becomes wet due to

absorption of the liquid. iii. Yes, we can break the stream of water

with our fingers. iv. No, it is not possible to fill any more

liquid in the bottle as it is already filled up to the brim. There is air in the space which was earlier occupied by water.

Activity … III (Textbook page no. 2) Ans: i. The pebble will sink in water because

the density of the pebble is greater than the density of water. However, the plastic spoon will not sink in water because it has less density than water.

ii. Dry wood, ice, leaves, kerosene, oil, etc. are some substances which float on water.

Activity … IV (Textbook page no. 3 and 4) Ans: Observation: i. The liquids come down in the order of

decreasing speed as follows: kerosene > water > milk > honey ii. Among the four liquids, honey is the

most viscous and kerosene is the least viscous liquid.

iii. Kerosene, water and milk take the shape of the container faster.

iv. Honey forms layers and these layers take the shape of the container slowly.

Conclusion: Rate of flow of liquids depends on their viscosity. Activity ... V (Textbook page no. 4) Ans: i. Inflated balloons become heavier than

uninflated balloons because the air inside the inflated balloons also has some mass.

ii. a. Yes, we get the smell of incense stick in the other corner of the room.

b. When an incense stick is ignited, its material starts burning. The fragrance present in the incense stick is converted into gaseous state and spreads in all directions.

c. As gas molecules move faster than liquid or solid, they reach from one corner of a room to the other corner easily and so a person at the other corner gets its smell.

iii. Perfume is a volatile substance (easily escapes into air). Thus, the molecules of the perfume spread everywhere in the surrounding air. So, Sabiha can smell the perfume though she is sitting in a far off corner.

Activity … VI (Textbook page no. 5) Ans: i. Small droplets of the water are

observed on the inner surface of the lid because water vapours from the tea get condensed.

ii. In winter morning, the temperature of atmosphere is very low. The coconut oil freezes at this temperature and becomes solid. In the summer morning, the temperature of atmosphere is higher as compared to winter. Thus, oil does not freeze and remains in the liquid state.

Activity … VII (Textbook page no. 7) Ans: i. The wet handkerchief kept in the open

space would dry up faster. ii. The puddle will reduce in size due to

evaporation of water present in it. iii. We feel cold sensation at the site where

spirit is applied. iv. We pour very hot tea in a saucer to cool

it rapidly. By doing so, the exposed surface area increases and the rate of evaporation also increases which makes the tea cool faster.

v. a. The water kept in an earthen pot becomes cool due to the process of evaporation.

b. Large number of pores are present on the surface of earthen pot. Water comes out continuously from these pores into the outside environment.

c. As a result, evaporation takes place and the temperature of water in the pot decreases.

Hence, the water kept in an earthen pot (matka) becomes cool even in summer.

Activity … VIII (Textbook page no. 8) Ans: i. Camphor is a sublimatory substance. It

sublimates at room temperature and changes into gaseous state slowly. Due to this, camphor becomes smaller in size and finally disappears.

ii. Naphthalene balls sublimate at room temperature. They absorb heat energy from the surrounding and get converted into gaseous form. Naphthalene present in the gaseous form gets mixed with the air due to which the bad odour in the toilet reduces. So, naphthalene balls are kept in the toilets.

Activity … IX (Textbook page no. 8) Ans: Ammonium chloride is a sublimatory

substance. When heated, solid ammonium chloride changes directly into gaseous state without changing into liquid state. Ammonium chloride, thus, gets deposited inside the inverted funnel and on the cotton plug.

1. Two vessels contain different types of

liquids A and B. If density of A is two times that of B and volumes of both the liquids taken in the vessels are the same, then which liquid has less mass?

Ans: Liquid B has less mass. 2. Why does the temperature of a substance

remain constant while changing from one state to another?

Ans: When a substance changes from one state to another, heat provided to the substance is utilised in increasing the distance between the molecules of the substance. However, the energy of the molecules (which is directly related to the temperature) does not increase.

Therefore, the temperature of a substance remains constant while changing from one state to another.

3. X and Y are two substances. They are given

same quantity of heat. X changes its state from solid to liquid. Y changes its state from solid to gas.

i. Can X change its state from liquid to gas when more heat is given?

ii. What kind of substance is Y? Ans: i. If more heat is given, then X can change

its state from liquid to gas. ii. Y is a sublimatory substance. 4. Complete the following chart:
