All chemical reactions are :

  1. reversible

  2. irreversible

  3. exothermic

  4. endothermic


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A change in which one or more than one new substances are formed is known as a chemical change. 


A chemical change is also called a chemical reaction. Chemical reactions are not reversible.

Hence the option B is correct.

Sheet erosion is due to _________.

  1. fast running rivers

  2. heavy rains

  3. occasional rains

  4. wind


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Sheet erosion is the detachment of soil particles by raindrop impact and their removal downslope by water flowing overland as a sheet instead of in a definite channel.


Hence, the correct option is $\text{B}$

Which of the following changes are irreversible?

  1. Milk to paneer

  2. Cow dung to biogas

  3. Grain to its flour

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of the following changes are irreversible because we can not convert the product into reactant again.
1) Milk to paneer.
2) Cow dung to biogas.
3) Grain to its flour.

 Iron adopts changes slowly and gradually by process of :

  1. rusting

  2. moldings

  3. fermentation

  4. explosions


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Iron adopt changes slowly and gradually when it comes in contact with air (moisture, oxygen etc)
When Iron reacts with $'n'$ molecules of water in the pressure of oxygen, it forms rust. Hence the process is known as a rusting.
$4Fe+3{ O } _{ 2 }+2n{ H } _{ 2 }O\longrightarrow 2{ Fe } _{ 2 }{ O } _{ 3 }.n{ H } _{ 2 }O$

 Burnt sparklers and burnt books pages are examples of 

  1. reversible change

  2. irreversible change

  3. no change

  4. none of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Burnt sparklers and burnt books pages are examples of irreversible changes, as they are permanent changes which cannot be undone. Once these materials are burnt in to ashes, the original materials cannot be recovered back.

Which of the following is not a reversible change?

  1. Heating of water to steam

  2. Cooking of egg to scrambled eggs

  3. Heating of wax to molten wax

  4. Cooling a cake


Correct Option: B

Which of the following change cannot be reversed ?

  1. Hardening of cement

  2. Freezing of ice cream

  3. Opening a door

  4. Melting of choclate


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A reversible change is a physical change that can be undone. 
A final substance can be converted back to the original substance without creating any new material.
An irreversible change is a permanent change that cannot be undone.


A. Hardening of cement is an irreversible change as we cannot reverse back to the original cement powder form once the cement hardens.
B. Freezing of ice-cream is reversible change as it can be reversed back by heating and it will convert to original form.
C. Opening of a door is reversible change as it can be reversed simply by closing the door 
D. Melting of chocolate is reversible change as it can be reversed by cooling the chocolate to its original form.
Option A is the correct answer.

Burnt sparklers and burnt books pages are examples of:

  1. reversible process

  2. irreversible process

  3. rusting

  4. none of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Irreversible changes $-$ because when they are burnt formation of gas and ashes takes place i.e. chemical reaction is taking place and new substance are formed which can't be reversed back.


      Book pages  $\quad \xrightarrow { \text{burning} } \quad { CO } _{ 2 }+$ other substances.

Hence, the correct option is $\text{B}$

Which of the following fiber is used to make wireless receiver?

  1. Cotton fiber

  2. Silk fiber

  3. Wool

  4. Nylon


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
The silk fiber is used to make a wireless receiver. fiber optic receivers capture the light from a fiber optic cable, decode the binary data it is sending and then convert into an electrical signal.

Which of the following is characterized by the fine soft under hair?

  1. Yak

  2. Goat
