Physical changes are ________.

  1. Temporary

  2. Permanent

  3. Irreversible

  4. Endothermic


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In a physical change, the substances are not altered chemically. No new products are formed. 
A physical change can affect the size, shape or color of a substance but does not affect its composition. The substances may be changed to another phase (i.e. gas, liquid, solid) or separated or combined so physical changes are temporary.

Examples:
when ice melts
when sulfur is mixed with iron filings. 
breaking a glass 
dissolving sugar in water

Maximum conductivity would be of : 

  1. $K _{3}Fe(CN) _{6}[0.1 M Solution]$

  2. $K _{3}Ni(CN) _{6}[0.1 M Solution]$

  3. $FeSO _{4}.Al _{2}(SO _{4}) _{3}.24H _{2}O[0.1 M Solution]$

The process in which the state of a substance changes from solid to liquid is called:

  1. boiling

  2. condensation

  3. freezing

  4. melting


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

When a solid is heated, the particles are given more energy and start to vibrate faster. At a certain temperature, the particles vibrate so much that their ordered structure breaks down. At this point the solid melts into liquid. This temperature change from solid to liquid is called  the melting point. Each solid has a set melting point at normal air pressure, but at higher altitudes the melting point lowers.

On decreasing temperature, a liquid turns into solid. This is:

  1. condensation

  2. melting

  3. freezing

  4. sublimation


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

On decreasing temperature, a liquid turns in to solid, this process is called Freezing. Freezing or solidification is a phase transition state.
Most liquids freeze by crystallization. formation of crystalline solid from the uniform liquid. this is a first-order thermodynamic phase transition i.e as long as solid and liquid coexist the temperature of the whole system remains very nearly equal to the melting point due to slow removal of heat when in contact with the air, which is a poor heat conductor.

When a solid directly turns into gaseous state, it is called:

  1. sublimation

  2. condensation

  3. polymerisation

  4. melting


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas phase without passing through the intermediate liquid phase. Sublimation is an endothermic phase transition that occurs at temperatures and pressures below a substance's triple point in its phase diagram. The reverse process of sublimation is desublimation or deposition.

  4. water cycle


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Dew drops are formed due to condensation of water vapors. The air around us contains water vapors which we call moisture or humidity. Hot air contains more moisture as compared to cold air. During the night when the hot air comes into contact with some cold surface, water vapor present in it condenses on the cold surface in the form of droplets. These tiny drops of water are called dew drops.

In ___________ , the properties of molecules remain same even after the change.

  1. physical change

  2. chemical change

  3. biochemical change

  4. photochemical change


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A physical change is any change in matter that involves the substance going from one physical state to another. 

The reference to a physical state involves solids, liquids, and gases. When a substance undergoes a physical change it does not lose its original properties because no new formation takes place when changing from one phase to another. The types of physical changes can vary. A substance can go from a solid to a liquid, a liquid to a gas, a gas to a liquid, a liquid to a solid, a solid to a gas, or a gas to a solid.
