Which of the following option is incorrect?

  1. Substance that dissolve in water are said to be soluble in water.

  2. Substance that do not dissolve in water are said to be insoluble in water.

  3. Substances dissolves faster in cold water than hot water.

  4. Soluble and insoluble impurities in water bodies causes water pollution.

  5. Insoluble impurities in water can be separated by sedimentation, decantation and filtration.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

No, substances dissolves faster in warm water. If we dissolve sugar or salt in warm water then it will dissolve faster than cold water.

Which of the following option is true?

  1. Heavy particles floats on the surface of water.

  2. Flowing water dissolves many soluble minerals present in the soil.

  3. Salt makes water muddy.

  4. Dirty water does not carry diseases that kill.

  5. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Yes, flowing water dissolves many soluble minerals present in the soil. These minerals are generally soluble in water.

Match the following.

1. Water table A. water percolates through this layer
2. Non porous rock B. layer of ground water reserve
3. Porous rock C. underground water reserve lies on it
  1. 1 - A, 2 - B, 3 - C

  2. 1 - B, 2 - A, 3 - C

  3. 1 - A, 2 - C, 3 - B

  4. 1 - B, 2 - C, 3 - A

  5. 1 - C, 2 - B, 3 - A


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

This is the correct answer. The water table is the level at which the ground water is found. Percolation is filtering of fluids through porous materials, So the water percolates through the porous rocks and water table is formed just above the non porous rocks.

Match the following.

1. Solids A. Molecules are loosely packed with weak force of attraction
2. Liquids B. Molecules are closely packed with strong force of attraction
3. Gases C. Molecules are very loosely packed with weak force of attraction
  1. 1 - A, 2 - C, 3 - B

  2. 1 - B, 2 - A, 3 - C

  3. 1 - A, 2 - B, 3 - C

  4. 1 - C, 2 - A, 3 - B

  5. 1 - B, 2 - C, 3 - A


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

This is the correct answer. The molecules of solids are very closely packed with strong forces of attraction. The molecules of liquids are loosely packed with loose force of attraction and in the gases molecules are very loosely packed with weak forces of attraction.

  1. Water

  2. Honey

  3. Sweet water

  4. Both Honey and water

  5. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Honey is solute in this solution.

Study the following table and answer the questions.

Substance Solvent Remark
Sand Water Does not dissolves
Sugar Water Dissolves
Salt Water Dissolves
Water Kerosene Does not dissolves
Oxygen Water Dissolves

Name the solutes which is soluble in water.

  1. Sand and sugar

  2. Sand and salt

  3. Salt and kerosene

  4. Sugar and salt

  5. Kerosene and sand


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Sugar and salt both are soluble in water, so this is the correct answer.

Match the following.

1. Water A. Solute
2. Sugar B. Insoluble
3. Sugar and water C. Solvent
4. Sand and water D. Soluble
  1. 1 - C, 2 - A, 3 - B, 4 - D

  2. 1 - C, 2 - A, 3 - D, 4 - B

  3. 1 - A, 2 - C, 3 - B, 4 - D

  4. 1 - A, 2 - D, 3 - B, 4 - C

  5. 1 - B, 2 - A, 3 - D, 4 - C


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

This is the correct answer. Water is a solvent as it dissolves another substance. Sugar is a solute as solute is a substance that gets dissolves in the solvent. Sugar and water are soluble and makes a solution. Sand and water are insoluble as Sand does not dissolves in water.

Varun took a cup of water and dissolves two spoons of salt in it. Later he placed the salty water under the sunlight for three days. He found only crystals of salt but no water remaining in the cup. Which of the following processes is being demostrated in the above experiment ?

  1. Filteration

  2. Boiling

  3. Condensation

  4. Evaporation

  5. Decantation


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Evaporation is the process when the sun heats up water in river or lakes or the ocean and turns it in to vapour or steam. The water vapour or steam leaves the river, lake or ocean and goes in to the air. In the above experiment the water in the salty solution evapoated in  the air and only the crystals of salt left.

Which of the following is the odd one out?

  1. Rivers

  2. Lakes

  3. Ponds

  4. Wells

  5. Oceans


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Water in oceans are not a drinkable water as it contains lots of salt. Presence of lots of salt makes it unsuitable for drinking.

Study the following table and answer the questions

Substance Solvent Remark
Sand Water Does not dissolves
Sugar Water Dissolves
Salt Water Dissolves
Water Kerosene Does not dissolves
Oxygen Water Dissolves

Which of the following substance is insoluble in water?

  1. Sand

  2. Sugar

  3. Salt

  4. Kerosene

  5. Both option 1 and 4


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

This is the correct answer as both sand and kerosene are insoluble in water.

Shreya took two cups, one containing warm water and the other one cold water. She put a spoon of sugar in to each cup and stirred the mixture properly. What will be her observation while doing this experiment?

  1. Sugar is insoluble in cold water.

  2. Sugar dissolve quickly in cold water.

  3. Sugar dissolve quickly in warm water.

  4. Sugar took same time to dissolve in both cups.

  5. After mixing sugar the water become sandy in both cups.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Yes, sugar dissolve quickly in warm water. So this is a correct answer.

Arun was doing a science activity. While doing this activity he made a mistake in writing his observation. Which among the following is wrong in the following table?

Substances put in water Soluble / Insoluble
1. Sugar Soluble
2. Sand Soluble
3. Tea leaves Insoluble
4. Talcum powder Insoluble
  1. Option number 1

  2. Option number 2

  3. Option number 2 and 3

  4. Option number 4

  5. Option number 3


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

This is the right answer. Here by mistake he wrote soluble, where as sand is insoluble in water.

Match the following.

1. Water A. Solution
2. Sand in water B. Solvent
3. Alcohol C. Universal Solvent
4. Sugar in water D. Insoluble impurities
  1. 1 - A, 2 - C, 3 - D, 4 - B

  5. 1 - D, 2 - A, 3 - D, 4 - C


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

This is the correct answer. Water is a universal solvent because it dissolves more substances than any other liquid. Sand and mud in water are insoluble impurities. Part of a solution that get dissolved while making it is called solute and sugar and water both make a solution.

Match the following.

1. Rain water A. Secondary source of water
2. Ground water B. Water conservation
3. Boiling C. Primary source of water
4. Saving water D. Kills germs
  1. 1 - A, 2 - C, 3 - B, 4 - D

  2. 1 - C, 2 - A, 3 - B, 4 - D

  3. 1 - C, 2 - A, 3 - D, 4 - B

  5. 1 - C, 2 - B, 3 - A, 4 - D


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This is the correct answer.  Rain water is the primary source of water. Ground water and surface water is the secondary source of water. Boiling is the process that can be use to kill the germs present in the water and saving and using water carefully is called water conservation.
