Practice Section
This section tells you how you have performed against questions where most students in your class
performed poorly. These questions focus on critical concepts and hence it is important that you practice
and understand these well. Some of the questions you answered incorrectly are also shown. Go through
the questions and try answering them again. Explain and verify your answer with the correct answers
given at the end.
You can ask your teachers, parents or us (email ID - da@ei-india.com) if you have doubts.

Good going, Ramya S!

Q As shown here, an ice cube melts and forms water.

17

This change is claimed to be a physical change. Which of the following is the

BEST reason to support this claim?
1 Heat is required during melting of the ice to form water.
2 The mass of ice and the water formed by its melting is the same.
3 The physical properties of ice and the water formed by its melting are the same.
4 The chemical composition of ice and the water formed by its melting are the same.

Your answer was 2. If you wish to change it, write it down here ______.

Why do you think so?

Answers and Explanations

Q Correct Option: 4
17

Distractor Explanation:
Option 4 is the correct answer because during a physical change the chemical nature of the
substances remains the same. Students choosing option 2 may know that the mass of the substance
doesn't change in a physical change but this fact isn't enough evidence to conclude that
interconversion of states of matter is a physical change. Students choosing option 3 may not be
connecting the statement with what actually happens. They are expected to know that matter
changes some of its physical properties as it changes from one state to another and it is not sufficient
to claim any change as physical change. Students choosing option 1 may think providing heat alone
makes a change a physical change.

Remedial Measures:
Ask students to name the different states of matter. Ask students to mention the difference between
each state of matter. Take the example of water and starting from its solid form (ice) get students to
explain what happens when its state changes to liquid and finally to gas. Help students to see that
only the arrangement of the particles (molecules) of water changes as it changes states.

After this, ask students what are physical and chemical changes. Ask students what criteria must be
used to classify changes into physical and chemical changes. Explain to students that if a new
substance is formed, then the change is classified as a chemical change. If the molecules of the
substance do not change then it is called a physical change.

Finally, ask students to explain whether the interconversion of states of matter is a physical or
chemical change giving reasons for their answer.

Q Correct Option: 4
14

Distractor Explanation:
Students choosing options 1, 2 and 3 may not be clear on what causes an irreversible change to clay.
They may think that from the point that clay is mixed with water, it cannot be recovered to its original
form.

Remedial Measures:
Ask student to explain what they understand by reversible and irreversible changes. Ask them to give
examples of such reversible and irreversible changes. Get one of the students to note these examples
on the blackboard.

One method to help students to distinguish what changes are happening is to get them to carry out
the different steps mentioned in the question in the laboratory and get them to observe at each stage
whether a reversible or irreversible change has occurred.

This can be done with similar examples also. For example, making chapatis. Ask students to list down
the steps involved in making chapatis and identify which step is irreversible and which steps are
reversible. The key to identifying which steps are reversible and which are irreversible is identifying
those steps at which flour can still be added to the dough.

Alternatively, you can give students a printout of the following webpage and get students to discuss it

in groups and identify the steps that are reversible and those that are irreversible giving reasons for
their answers.
