Que: Define reversible change.

Ans.The changes in which it is possible to get back to the original product again is called reversible change.

Que: State the list of changes caused due to heating.

Ans: The changes caused due to heating are:

• Expansion
• Change in state
• Combustion

Que: What is chemical change?

Ans: The result which leads to the formation of new substance is called chemical change.

Que: What do you mean by combustion?

Ans: The property of a substance by which substance start burning on heating is called combustion.

Que: Define evaporation.

Ans: The process of conversion of liquids into its vapour state by heating is called evaporation.

Que: What do you mean by expansion?

Ans: Solids, liquids and gases occupy more space when they are heated. This is called expansion.

Que: Define fast changes with two examples.

Ans: The type of change which takes short time to complete is known as fast change. e.g.,

(i) Burning of forest.

(ii) Striking of a matchstick.

Que:List the characteristics of physical change?
Ans:

Following are the characteristics of physical change:

1. No new substances are formed.
2. Properties of a substance doesn’t change.
3. These changes are reversible.

Que:List the characteristics of chemical change?

Ans:

Following are the characteristics of chemical change:

1. Properties of products are different from reactants.
2. Most of the chemical changes are irreversible.
3. Loss or gain of energy occurs in a chemical change.

Que:Define melting?

Ans:The process by which solid substances melt and turn into liquid is known as melting.

Que:Define contraction?

Ans:It is the phenomenon in which a substance shrinks or changes its shape.

Que:Why the stretching of a rubber band is reversible change?

Ans:The stretching of a rubber band is a reversible change because after we leave the rubber, it gets back to its original position automatically.

Que:Why the burning of paper is an irreversible change?

Ans:
Burning of paper is an irreversible change because after burning, the paper, it is not possible to get back the same paper which was burnt.
