Which of the following changes is/are reversible? a. Melting of ice b. Ripening of a peach c. Souring of milk

  1. only a

  2. only b

  3. only c

  4. a and b

  5. b and c


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is correct because melting of ice is a physical change and is reversible.

Which of the following changes can be controlled? p. Rusting of iron. q. Spoiling of milk. r. Phases of the moon.

  1. p and q

  2. q and r

  3. p and r

  4. only r

  5. p, q and r


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Both these changes can be controlled. Rusting of iron happens over a long period of time and if treated right it can be prevented. Similarly milk can be prevented from spoiling by turning into curd or by boiling and pasteurization.

Which of the following statements is correct? a. Living things show response to stimuli. b. Burning of fuel is called combustion. c. Oxygen is a waste product generated during photosynthesis.

  1. only a

  2. only b

  3. only c

  4. a and b

  5. a, b and c


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

This is the correct option. All the statements are correct. 

Which of the following changes is/are irreversible?

a. Rolling of dough into a ball. b. Burning of paper. c. Making an airplane by folding paper.

  1. only a

  2. only b

  3. only c

  4. a and b

  5. a and c


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

This is an irreversible change. The paper cannot be retrieved back after it has burned.

Which of the following is a desirable change? a. Turning of milk into curd. b. Formation of manure from animal dung. c. Flooding of a river.

  1. only a

  2. only b

  3. only c

  4. a and b

  5. a and c


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

This is the correct answer. Both these changes are desirable.

Which of the following statements is correct?

  1. Rolling of a ball of dough to make roti is a reversible change.

  2. Dissolving of salt in water is a chemical change.

  3. Explosion of crackers is a physical change.

  4. The melting of ice lolly is an irreversible change.

  5. Evaporation of water is an irreversible change.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This statement is correct. This would become irreversible if it were cooked but now it iws reversible as it is just a physical change.  

Which of the following is a fast change?

  1. Germination of a seed

  2. Burning of paper

  3. Coming of spring

  4. Rusting of iron swing

  5. Phases of moon


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

This is the correct answer. Fast changes occur over a short interval of time. 

Germination of a seed is a ___________ change.

  1. physical

  2. endothermic

  3. exothermic

  4. irreversible

  5. periodic


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

This is the correct answer. Germination of a seed will create a plant and this is an irreversible change.

Coal formation is a ___________ change.

  1. periodic

  2. undesirable

  3. physical

  4. slow

  5. fast


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

This is the correct answer. Formation of coal is a slow change. It takes a very long time for coal to form.

Which of the following changes absorb energy? a. Lightning of a bulb b Burning of a candle c. Volcanic eruption

  1. only a

  2. b only

  3. c only

  4. all of them

  5. none of them


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

This is the correct option. All these are exothermic changes. Changes that absorb energy are called endothermic changes. Preparation of food by green plants is an endothermic change.

Which of the following statements is/are false? a. All physical changes are reversible. b. In an irreversible change, new substances are formed. c. Photosynthesis is an exothermic change.

  1. only a

  2. only b

  3. only c

  4. a and c

  5. a, b and c


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Photosynthesis is considered as an endothermic reaction because in this process energy in the form of sunlight is absorbed. This statement is false.

Which of the following is/are correct? a. The change in the shape of dough is reversible. b. The change in the size of a tree is irreversible. c. The change due to eruption of a volcano is reversible.

  1. only a

  2. only b

  3. only c

  4. a and b

  5. b and c


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

This is the correct choice. Both these are correct.

Which of the following is not a non periodic change?

  1. Occurring of earthquake

  2. Landslides

  3. Ripening of fruits

  4. Changing of seasons

  5. Eruption of volcanoes


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

This is a periodic change. It will happen after a time.

Explanation:

This is the correct answer. Air can be compressed. Metal can be hammered into sheets. Sand is insoluble in water.

Match the following:

 
Column - I Column - II
a. Burning of wood 1. Periodic change
b. Arrival of spring 2. Physical change
c. Formation of clouds 3. Chemical change
