Very Short Answer Type Questions 

Question 1. 
Give some day-to-day examples of reversible changes.
Answer: 
Some day-to-day examples of reversible changes are:

  • drying of wet clothes.
  • freezing water to make ice.

Question 2. 
Give two examples of irreversible changes occurring in food products. 
Answer: 
Examples of irreversible changes occurring in food products are:

  • Milk to cheese, 
  • Cooking of food. 

Question 3.
Deforestation is the cutting down of trees in a forest. Is it irreversible or reversible change?
Answer: 
It is a reversible change if the cut trees are planted again. However, if they are not planted again, it is a one-way process, hence, irreversible.

Question 4. 
Does the size of the paper change sifter make an aeroplane by folding it, or, by cutting it?
Answer: 
Folding the paper into an aeroplane does not change its actual size. But, cutting out an aeroplane from it, reduces its size.

Question 5.
What happens when sugar is heated? What form of change is it?
Answer:
When sugar is heated it melts and if heated for longer then a black sticky substance is formed. This is a chemical change.

Question 6. 
Explain, which type of change is associated with an iron rim fitted over a wooden wheel?
Answer: 
Iron expands on heating and contracts on cooling. Hence, a physical change is associated with this activity.

Short Answer Type Questions 

Question 1. 
Does the shape of an eraser change in any way after erasing?
Answer: 
Yes, the more we rub, the smaller it becomes. Hence, the shape of the eraser changes and it depends on which edge of the eraser is used more often.

Question 2.

Question 5. 
What is a ‘ physical change? Explain with the help of an example. 
Answer: 
The change in which only the physical properties of substances1, are changed and no new substance is Formed is called a physical change. These are generally reversible changes. For example - Boiling changes water to, steam and cooling changes it back to liquid form of water.

Question 6. 
What is a chemical change? Explain with example.
Answer: 
Those changes in which the original substance is changed and new’ substances with new chemical properties are formed are called chemical changes.
For example - the burning of incense stick to produce ash and smoke. 

Long Answer Type Questions 

Question 1. 
What do you mean by reversible changes? Give examples.
Answer: 
Those changes which cam be reversed to obtain the original form by removing the cause of change are called reversible changes. These changes are generally physical in nature and do not involve any change in chemical composition. Examples include: 

  1. Melting of ice 
  2. Folding of paper
  3. Evaporation of water.

Question 2. 
What are irreversible changes?
Answer: 
Those changes, which i cannot be reverted or converted back to its original form are called irreversible changes. Such changes generally involve a change in chemical composition of the substance. Examples include burning of candles, germination of seeds, bursting a balloon, rusting of iron.

Question 3. 
A blacksmith heats the metal rim to fix it on a cartwheel. Explain.
Answer: 
A blacksmith heats the metal rim because metals have a property to expand on heating. The rim is generally made slightly smaller than the wheel over which it has to fit. On heating, the rim expands and fits onto the wheel. Then on pouring cold water, the rim contracts and fits tightly onto the wheel.

Question 4. 
How do slow and fast changes differ? Give examples.
Answer: 
The changes which take place in a long period of time are called slow changes whereas the changes which take place in a short period of time are called fast changes. Examples include:
(a) rusting of iron, formation of day and night, ripening of fruits, growing of trees are slow changes,
(b) burning of paper, stretching of rubber bands, blowing off balloons, bursting of crackers are fast changes.

Question 5. 
Differentiate between physical changes and chemical changes. 
Answer: 
Differences between Physical Changes and Chemical Changes

Physical Changes

Chemical Changes

1. Composition of substance remains same. No new substances are formed.

Composition of substance changes. New substance is formed.

2. Change in shape, size or. physical state occurs. Chemical properties of substance remain same.

New substances have new shape, physical states, different physical and chemical properties.

3. Physical changes are reversible.

Chemical changes are irreversible.

4. For example - Melting of ice, expansion of iron on heating.

For example - Burning of wood, rusting of iron.
