Question 8.
Describe how crystals of copper sulphate are prepared.
Answer:
Take a cup full of water in a beaker and add a few drops of dilute sulphuric acid. Heat the water. When it starts boiling add copper sulphate powder slowly while stirring continuously. Continue adding copper sulphate powder till no more powder can be dissolved. Filter the solution. Allow it to cool. Do not disturb the solution when it is cooling. Look at the solution after some time. Now, you can see the crystals of copper sulphate.

Question 9.
Explain how painting of an iron gate prevents it from rusting.
Answer:
The process of rusting can be represented by the following equation:
Iron (Fe) + Oxygen (O2 from the air) + Water (H2O) → rust (iron oxide Fe2O3).

For rusting the presence of both oxygen and water (or water vapour) is essential. In fact, if the content of moisture in air is high, which means if it is more humid, rusting becomes faster. So, prevent iron gate from coming in contact with oxygen, or water, or both. One simple way is to apply a coat of paint or grease. In fact, these coats should be applied regularly to prevent rusting.

HBSE 7th Class Science Solutions Chapter 6 Physical and Chemical Changes

Question 10.
Explain why rusting of iron objects is faster in coastal areas than in deserts.
Answer:
The water of coastal areas contain many salts. The salt water makes the process of rust formation faster. Thus, rusting of iron objects is faster in coastal areas than deserts.

Question 7.
How is common salt obtained from sea water?
Answer:
In the coastal regions of India, especially in the Rann of Kutch in Gujarat and some parts of Tamil Nadu, the sea water is collected in shallow pits. It is then allowed to evaporate in the sun. As the water evaporates, the salt solution becomes supersaturated. This supersaturated solution cannot hold the excess salt. Thus, it separates out in form of salt crystals. These salt crystals are collected. They are redissolved in water and the solution is filtered to remove insoluble impurities. The clear solution is again evaporated so as to obtain the crystals of pure salt.

Question 8.
What is crystallisation? To what purpose is it put?
Answer:
The process of separation of pure crystals of a substance from its hot and supersaturated (concentrated) solution on cooling is called Crystallisation.

The process of crystallisation is employed for the separation of a pure water soluble substance from its mixture. For example, if there is a mixture of alum and common salt, the pure alum crystals can be separated by the process of crystallisation.

Question 14.
What happens when an iron blade of a knife is dipped in copper sulphate solution? What kind of chemical reaction takes place?
Answer:
When an iron blade of a knife is dipped in copper sulphate solution iron blade is coated with reddish deposit of copper. Thus, we can say that iron (more reactive element), displaces copper (less reactive element), from its aqueous copper sulphate solution. Chemical displacement reaction is takes place.

Question 15.
Why do the molecules in a liquid tend to stay together and give a condensed form?
Answer:
In a liquid, the molecular motion are not great enough to over come the force of attraction between molecules. That is why the molecules tend to stay together and give a condensed form.

Question 16.
On a hot summer day the cycle tubes burst suddenly. Explain why?
Answer:
The cycle tubes are filled with air. On a hot summer day, the temperature of the atmosphere is high. When cycle runs on the road, the friction between the cycle wheel and the path produces heat which raises the temperature of the air in the cycle tubes. On heating the air expands and exerts pressure in the inside of the tubes. Due to the pressure, the cycle burst suddenly on a hot summer day.

HBSE 7th Class Science Solutions Chapter 6 Physical and Chemical Changes

Question 17.
Why can the same substance exist in all the three states, that is, solid liquid and gas?
Answer:
The space between the molecules, the force of attraction between the molecules, and the amount of movement of the molecules of a substance can be changed by changing the pressure and temperature of the substance. So depending on the pressure and temperature, the same substance can exist in all the three states i.e., Solid, liquid and gaseous. For example under normal pressure water exists as a solid in the form of ice at a temperature of 0°C or below. It exists as a liquid in the form of water at the room temperature and as a gas in the form of steam at 100°C or above.

The seas are great sources of salts. A litre of a water contains about 35 grams of salts. Sodium chloride is the main salt. The sea-water is trapped in shallow called lagoons and is allowed to evaporate in sunlight to white solid crystal of salts. These crystals are processed and packed to send the markets.

Question 25.
“In a chemical reaction, there is only a rearrangement of the atoms of the reactants.” Explain this statement giving an example.

In a chemical reaction, there is only a x’e. angement of the atoms of the reactants because when a chemical reaction occurs new products are formed. These products have same kind and number of atoms as are present in reactants. They are only rearrange to give new substances. For example, in a reaction between iron and sulphur to give iron sulphide the number of atoms of iron and sulphur are identical on both sides of the equation.
Fe + S → FeS (On heating)

Question 26.

Answer:
Difference between a balanced and unbalanced chemical equations:
In unbalanced chemical equations, the number of each element atoms do not same. As for example:
Mg + O2 → MgO.
This is not a balanced equation because the number of Mg atom and oxygen atoms are not same on both the sides, Le., reactants and product sides. On the other hand, in a balanced chemical equation the number of each atoms of each elements on both sides should be equal. As for example:
2Mg + O2 → 2MgO.
In this balanced chemical equation the number of magnesium atoms and oxygen atoms in the left hand side are equal to the right hand side of the equation. So it is a balanced chemical equations.
(i) A mixture consists of two or more chemically different substances.
(ii) The composition of mixture can be separated easily by simple means.
(iii) Its formation is not accompanied by absorption or evolution of heat, light or electricity.
(iv) Mixture do not have definite formula.
(v) Mixture do not have fixed M.P. and B.P.

(xi) Al + HCl → AlCl3 + H2
(x) N2 + H2 → NH3
Answer:
(i) 4Fe + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3
(ii) 2H2O → 2H2 + O2
(iii) 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO
(iv) 4Al + 3O2 → 2Al2O3
(v) 2Fe + 6HCl → 2FeCl3 + 3H2
(vi) 2Cu + O2 → 2CuO
(vii) 2Hg + O2 → 2HgO
(viii) Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl2 + H2
(xi) 2Al + 6HCl → 2AlCl3 + 3H2

Physical and Chemical Changes Class 7  HBSE Notes

1. Properties such as shape, size, colour and state of a substance are called its physical properties.
2. A change in which a substance undergoes a change in its physical properties is called a physical change. A physical change generally reversible.

Some common examples of chemical change:
1. Burning of wood or charcoal.
2. Burning of Candle.
3. Decomposition of water into hydrogen and oxygen.

6. The smallest unit of an element, which takes part in a chemical reaction is called an atom.
7. The smallest unit of a pure substance, which always exists independently and can retain physical and chemical properties of that substance, is called a molecule.
8. A metal is an element which is generally malleable, ductile and a good conductor of heat and electricity. About 80% of the elements are metals.
9. Non-metals are bad conductors of heat and electricity. They are neither malleable nor ductile. Non-rr Hals are generally soft.
