PSEB 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 8 Motion

Long Answer Type Questions:

Question 1.
Derive mathematically the equations of motion.
Answer:
Equations of motion under uniform acceleration: The following are the equations of motion of an object moving in a straight line with uniform acceleration.
1. υ = u + at
2. S = ut + \(\frac{1}{2}\)at²
3. υ² – u² = 2aS
1. First Equation of Motion, υ = u + at
Let u be the initial velocity and ‘a’ be the uniform acceleration of a body in motion so that after every 1 sec its velocity increases by ‘a’.
Increase in velocity of the body after 1 sec = a
Secondary Increase in velocity of the body after 2 sec = a + a = 2 a
∴ Increase in velocity after t sec = a × t = at
Therefore, velocity of an object after t secs = Initial velocity + increase in velocity of the object after ‘t’ secs
or υ = u + at

2. Second equation of motion S = ut + \(\frac{1}{2}\)at²
Let ‘u’ be the initial velocity of the body in motion having uniform acceleration ‘a’ and after ‘t’ second the final velocity be ‘υ’.
∴ Increase in velocity of the body after 1sec = a
Velocity of the body after 1 sec from start of its motion = (u + a)
Velocity of the body 1 second before the end of its motion = (υ – a)

Question 2.
For uniform accelerated motion, draw by graphical method establish the following equations of motion:
1. υ = u + at
2. S = ut + \(\frac{1}{2}\)at²
3. υ² = u² + 2aS
Answer:
Consider an object moving with initial velocity ‘u’ along a straight line and uniform acceleration ‘a’. Suppose its final velocity becomes υ after time t and during this time it travels a distance S. If time is represented along X-axis and velocity along Y-axis, then velocity-time graph obtained will be BA, an ipchned straight line. With its help we can derive the various equators of motion.
Here OA = ED = u,
OC = EB = υ and OE = t = AD
(a)Equation for velocity-time relation. We know that
Acceleration = Slope of velocity-time graph AB or

This proves the first equation of motion.

(b) Equation for position-time relation
We know that area below velocity-time graph and time axis gives the distance covered by the body.

(S = ut + \(\frac{1}{2}\)at²)
Distance travelled by the object in time t is
S = Area of the trapezium OABE
= Area of rectangle OADE + Area of triangle ADB
= OA × OE + \(\frac{1}{2}\)DB × AD
a = \(\frac{\mathrm{DB}}{\mathrm{AD}}=\frac{\mathrm{DB}}{t}\)
or DB = at
= u × t + \(\frac{1}{2}\)at × t
or S = ut + \(\frac{1}{2}\)at²
This proves the second equation of motion.

(c) Equation for position-velocity relation (υ² – u² = 2aS).
The distance travelled by object in time t is:
S = Area of trapezium OABE
= \(\frac{1}{2}\)(EB + OA) × OE
= \(\frac{1}{2}\)(EB + ED) × OE …….. (1)

Question 3.
Draw velocity-time graph for a body moving with uniform velocity. Hence show that the area under the velocity-time graph gives the distance travelled by the body in a given time interval.
Answer:
Distance covered as area under the velocity-time graph. In Fig. straight line PQ is the velocity-time graph of a body moving with a uniform velocity, ‘υ’ represented by OP.

Area of rectangle ABCD
= AD × AB
= OP × AB
= υ × (t₂ – t₁)
= Velocity × time
= Distance travelled in time interval (t₂ – t₁)
Hence, the area under the velocity-time graph gives the distance travelled by the body in the given time interval.

Question 4.
What is meant by Angular velocity? How is it related to linear velocity? Derive the relation.
Answer:
Angular velocity: The angle traced out by a body moving along a circular path in unit time is called Angular velocity. It is usually represented by a greek letter ω (omega). If θ is the angle covered by a body in time ‘t’, then
Angular velocity (ω) = \(\frac{Angle traced out by the moving body(θ)}{t}\)
∴ ω = \(\frac{θ}{t}\)
or θ = ωt

Relation between Linear velocity and Angular velocity:
Suppose a body in motion in a circular path of radius ‘r’ having linear velocity υ. Suppose ‘S’ is the linear distance covered by the body in time ‘t’ and relative to this, ‘θ’ is the angular displacement produced, then

Short Answer Type Questions:

Question 1.
Define rest and motion. Give one example for each.
Answer:

• Rest: A body is said to be at rest if it does not change its position with respect to its surroundings. A book lying on the table in a room is at rest with respect to the other objects in the room.
• Motion: A body is said to be in motion if it changes its position with time with respect to its surroundings. A car running on the road is in motion with respect to the electricpole, trees along the roadside.

Question 2.
Show that rest and motion are relative terms.
Or
Can an object be af rest as well as in motion at the same time?
Answer:
An object may be at rest relative to one surrounding object and at the same time it may be in motion with respect to some other object. For example, a passenger sitting in moving train is at rest relative to other co-passengers. But since he is sharing the motion of the train, so he is in motion relative to the outside trees, lamp posts etc. Thus, rest and motion are relative terms.

Question 3.
Give some points of differences between distance and displacement.
Or
Give two differences between distance and displacement.
Answer:
Differences between distance and displacement:

Distance	Displacement
1. Distance is the length of the actual path covered by a body, irrespective of its direction of motion.	Displacement is the shortest distance between the initial and final positions of a body in a given direction.
2. Distance between two given points may be same or different for different paths chosen.	Displacement between two given points is always same.
3. It is a scalar quantity.	It is a vector quantity.
4. Distance covered is always positive or zero.	Displacement covered may be positive, negative or zero.

Question 4.
What is meant by uniform motion?Give an example.
Answer:
Uniform motion. If an object covers equal distances in equal intervals of time, hoxvever small the time interval may be, then the motion of the object is said to be uniform motion. For example, suppose a bus moves 10 km in the first 15 minutes, 10 km in second 15 minutes, 10 km in third 15 minutes and so on. Then one can say that the bus is in uniform motion.

Question 5.
Define the term velocity. What is its SI unit?Is it a scalar or vector quantity?
Answer:
Velocity: Velocity of a body is defined as the displacement produced per unit time. It is also defined as the speed of a body in a given direction.
Velocity = Displacement/Time
If ‘S’ is the distance travelled by a body in a given direction and t is the time taken to travel that distance, then the velocity ‘υ’ is given by
υ = \(\frac{S}{t}\)
The SI unit of velocity is m s^-1.
Velocity is a vector quantity because it requires both magnitude and direction for its complete description.

Symbols of Physical Quantities and Important Formulae:

(A) Symbols of Physical Quantities

• Time = t
• Speed = v
• Distance = S
• Initial Velocity = u
• Final Velocity = v
• Acceleration = a
• Average Velocity = V_av

(B) Important Formulae:

If initial velocity u at time t velocity υ and uniform acceleration a Then the under given relations are called Equations motion:
υ = u + at (Velocity at time t)
S = ut + \(\frac{1}{2}\)at²(Displacement in time ‘t’)
υ² = u² + 2aS (Velocity square relation)
Displacement in n th The Second of time (S_n) = u + (2n – 1)

Numerical Problems (Solved):

Question 1.
A police car running on a highway with a speed of 30 km/h fires on the vehicle of thiefs running in the same direction at a speed of 192 km/h. If the velocity of the bullet is 150 m/s then with what velocity the bullet will hit the thiefs?
Solution:
Velocity of the bullet fired = 150 m/s
= 150 × \(\frac{18}{5}\)km/h = 540 km/h
∴ Total speed = Speed of police vehicle + Speed of bullet
= 30 km/h + 540 km/h = 570 km/h
Speed of the bullet relative to the speed of thief’s vehicle in the same direction
= (570 – 192) km/h
= 378 km/h
= \(\frac{378 \times 1000}{60 \times 60}\) m/s
= 105 m/s

Question 2.
A train 50 m long travels on a plain and level track and reached a post in 5 secs. Find
1. speed of the train
2. the time train will take to cross 450 m long bridge.
Solution:
1. Since the train takes 5 secs to reach the post, it covers a distance equal to its own length, then
speed of train = \(\frac{Total distanve travelled}{Total time taken}\)
= \(\frac{50m}{5s}\)
= 10 m/s

2. Distance travelled by the train to cross the bridge
= Length of the bridge + Length of train
= 450 m + 50 m
= 500 m

∴ Time taken to cross the bridge = \(\frac{Total distance covered}{speed of the train}\)
= \(\frac{500m}{10m/s}\)
= 50 s

Question 3.
A cheetah is the fastest land animal and can achieve a peak velocity of 100 km/h upto distances less than 500 m. If a cheetah spots his prey at a distance of 100 m. What is the minimum time it will take to get its prey, if the average velocity attained by it is 90 km/h.
Solution:
Here, υ = 90 km/h
= \(\frac{90 \times 1000 \mathrm{~m}}{3600 \mathrm{~s}}\)
= 25 m/s
s = 100m
Minimum time, t = \(\frac{s}{υ}\)
= \(\frac{100}{25}\) = 4s.

Question 4.
A car travels a certain distance with a speed of 50 km/h and returns with a speed of 40 km/h. Calculate the average speed for the whole journey.
Solution:
Let the one-way distance = x km

Question 5.
On a 100 km track, a train travels the first 30 km at a uniform speed of 30 km h^-1. How fast must the train travel the next 70 km so as to average 40 km h^-1 for the entire trip?
solution:

Question 6.
A railway train 50 m long passes over a bridge 250 m long with uniform velocity of 10 m s^-1. How long will it take to completely, pass over the bridge?
Solution:

To completely pass over the bridge, the train will have to cover the length of the bridge, as well as its own length i.e., AB + BC
∴ Total distance to be covered, S = 50 + 250 = 300 m
Velocity of train, u = 10 m s^-1
Here velocity is uniform, hence
a = 0 m s^-2
Using S = ut + \(\frac{1}{2}\)at²
300 = 10t + 0
or t = 30 s
Hence train will pass completely over the bridge in 30 s.

Question 7.
A car starts from rest and moves with uniform acceleration for 40 s. It then moves with uniform velocity attained by it and is finally brought to rest in 30 s under uniform retardation. The car covers a total distance of 1,380 m in 2.5 min. Calculate constant speed, acceleration and retardation.
Solution:
Let x be the constant speed. Now the total distance covered is equal to total area between velocity-time graph and time axis. Therefore
Distance covered = area of ∆ABC + area of rectangle BCDE + area of ADEF

Question 8.
The graph shown in Fig. indicates the position of body at different positions. Calculate the speed of the body as it moves from (i) A to B; (ii) B to C and (iii) C to D.
Solution:

Speed from A to B = Slope of AB
= \(\frac{\mathrm{BF}}{\mathrm{AF}}=\frac{3-0}{5-2}\) = 1ms^-1
(ii) Speed from B to C is zero since slope of BC is zero. From B to C, the body is at rest.
(iii) Speed between C and D = Slope of CD
= \(\frac{D G}{C G}=\frac{7-3}{9-7}\)
= \(\frac{4}{2}\) = 2ms^-1

Short Answer Type Questions:

Question 1.
Briefly describe diversity of life.
Answer:
Diversity of life (also called biological diversity or biodiversity) is the variety of living systems. It may refer to extinct organisms, but also to their diversity in the past. It usually covers multiple levels of biological diversity. About 2 million species have been described upto date. About 17000 – 19000 new species are added every year to the list. Exact number of species present on earth is unknown, current estimates favouring figures in the range of 8-12 million.

Thus biological diversity includes all forms of life including micro-organisms, plants and animals. Biological diversity is constantly changing.

Importance of classification:

1. Recognition: Classification of living beings recognises the basic taxonomic units or species.
2. Description: Classification of organisms is responsible for description of species.
3. Relationship: It tells a possible way for grouping these units on the basis of their resemblances and relationships.
4. Phylogeny: It gives us most of the information permitting a reconstruction of phylogeny of life. It helps in understanding the evolution of organisms.
5. Applied biology: It has great role in applied biology (agriculture, public health, environmental biology) also.
6. The introduction of harmful plants and animals can be checked. Exact identification of harmful pests, a disease vector, a pathogen and their control is made possible with knowledge of applied biology.
7. Human health: Exact identification of insects helps in controlling the epidemic diseases like malaria, filaria, dengue fever, kala-azar etc.
8. Horticulture: Several ornamentals have been introduced due to proper identification and nomenclature.

Question 4.
Why are local names not sufficient to recognize the organisms? What are the advantages of keeping scientific names?
Answer:
Local names are not understood elsewhere. The common name of a species often varies with language and region of world. In Biology, we deal with a very large number of species. It would not be possible to refer to them unless each one of them had a separate name for itself.
Advantages of scientific names:

1. The scientific names are same all over the world.
2. They are uniformly binomial.
3. They are definite and accepted universally.
4. They are descriptive.
5. They indicate general relationship.

Question 5.
Write different categories of classification.
Answer:

1. Species: It is defined as a dynamic group of organisms, which:
   • resemble each other in all essential respects, i.c. structure and function.
   • Interbreed among themselves to produce fertile young ones of their own kind.
2. Genus: It forms the taxonomic higher category than species. It is a group of closely related species.
3. Family: A number of genera having several common characters constitute a family.
4. Order: A number of families having many common characters are placed in an order.
5. Class: The class is the basic category. Similar orders are grouped together in the common class. A class is generally a subdivision of a phylum.
6. Phylum: A number of classes having common features constitute a phylum.
7. Division: In the case of plants, many classes constitute a division which corresponds to the phylum of animal kingdom.
8. Kingdom: All the animals are included in Kingdom Animalia, while all plants are included in the Kingdom Plantae. It is the highest taxonomic category.

5. Vascular bundles in stem are scattered and closed.	5. The vascular bundles in dicot stem arranged in-ring and are open.

Question 8.
What are the basis of Whittaker’s system of classification?
Answer:
Whittaker based his classification on the following three criteria:

1. The prokaryotic versus eukaryotic structure of cell.
2. The unicellular versus multicellular organization.
3. The three different modes of nutrition i.e. autotrophic, absorptive and holozoic (ingestive).

Question 9.
What are the advantages of five-kingdom system of classification?
Answer:
Advantages of five-kingdom system:

1. The subdivisions of two kingdoms have been redistributed among additional kingdoms. Such an arrangement reflects the phylogeny evolutionary history of different life styles in a better way.
2. This system allows us to visualize the increase of complexity with evolutionary time.
3. Five kingdom arrangement allows us to visualize the divergence of their modes of nutrition in the multicellular organisms.
4. An added advantage of Whittaker’s system lies in the coherence and definable characters of a kingdom as a unit of classification.

PSEB 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 6 Tissues

Long Answer Type Questions:

Question 1.
Define tissue, Differentiate meristematic and permanent tissue, Describe different types of primary meristematic tissue.
Answer:
Tissue, A tissue is a group of similar or dissimilar cells coordinating to perform a specific function.

Meristematic tissue	Permanent tissue
1. Cells are thin walled, living, oval or rounded, and isodiametric.	1. Cells are thin or thick walled, living or dead, oval or rounded or elongated fibre-like.
2. Divide throughout life so help in growth.	2. Lost the division power, so do not help in growth.
3. Reserve food is absent.	3. Reserve food may be present.
4. Vacuoles are absent.	4. Vacuoles are present.

Types of primary meristematic tissues. On the basis of their position, these are of three types:

1. Apical meristem lies at shoot and root apices and helps in longitudinal growth.
2. Intercalary meristem lies between shoot and root apices and helps in longitudinal growth.
3. Lateral meristem lies on lateral sides of stem and root and helps in increase in diameter.

Question 2.
What is permanent tissue? Briefly explain the types of simple permanent tissue.
Answer:
Permanent Tissue: They are composed of mature cells which after undergoing complete growth have assumed a definite shape, size and function. They have lost the power of division. The permanent tissues are of two types i.e. simple tissue and compound tissue.
Kinds of simple tissue:
1. Parenchyma
2. Collenchyma
3. Sclerenchyma

1. Parenchymal tissue is formed of thin walled, living, oval cells having walls formed of only cellulose. It forms cortex, endodermis, pericycie, pith etc. of different parts of plants. It is loosely packed with intercellular spaces. It is modified to form epidermis covering of all the parts of plant body, chlorenchyma for photosynthesis, aerenchyma for floating in the hydrophytes.

2. Collenchyma is formed of thick walled (with pectinised cell wall) and living cells and is found in hypodermis of dicot stem. It provides flexibility to plants.

3. Sclerenchyma is formed of thick walled (with lignified cell wall) and dead cells and forms hypodermis of monocot stem, bark, shells of nuts, etc. It makes the plants hard and stiff. It provides strength to plant parts. It also forms hard covering of seeds and nuts.

Question 3.
What is complex tissue? Explain its types along with diagrams.
Answer:
Complex tissue. The tissue formed of two or more than two kinds of tissue is called complex tissue. It is of two types:
1. Xylem
2. Phloem

1. Xylem, also called wood, is compound tissue of the plants which primarily helps in conduction of water and minerals from the root system to various parts of shoot system (Ascent of sap).

Xylem elements	Function
1. Tracheids 2. Tracheae or vessels 3. Xylem parenchyma 4. Xylem sclerenchyma	1. Long-distance conduction of water and minerals upward from the root system to various parts of shoot system. 2. Storage and short distance conduction of water and minerals. 3. Mechanical support so helps in resisting strong winds.

(a) Element of xylem

(b) Kinds of xylem

• Connective tissue is of three types: Connective tissue proper, Skeletal connective tissue and Vascular connective tissue.
• Connective tissue proper: Areolar connective tissue has soft matrix. Yellow fibrous connective tissue (with many elastic fibres and forms ligaments); Adipose connective tissue (with large number of fat-storing adipocytes e.g. below the skin of mammals, fat- bodies of frog, etc.)
• Skeletal connective tissue has dense and mineralised matrix and forms endoskeleton of vertebrates. It includes cartilages and bones.
• Vascular connective tissue has fluidy and fibre-free matrix. It is of two types: Blood and Lymph.
• Blood is red vascular connective tissue and flows inside the blood vessels. It is formed of plasma and blood corpuscles which are of three types: Erythrocytes or RBCs mainly with haemoglobin.
• Leucocytes or WBCs (rounded or amoeboid and nucleated corpuscles and Blood platelets (cytoplasmic fragments and help in blood clotting at the injury’).
• Lymph is white vascular connective tissue and flows inside the lymph-vessels. It is formed of plasma and leucocytes so is called filtered blood. It acts as middle man between body cells and blood.
• Nervous tissue has the properties of excitability and conductivity of nerve impulses.
• Neurons are structural and functional units of nervous tissue. Neurons receive and conduct impulses.
• Each neuron is formed of a nucleated cyton and one or more nerve processes which are of 2 types: Axon or efferent and dendron or afferent.

  Nerve fibres are of two types: Medullated nerve fibres and Non-medullated nerve fibres.

Short Answer Type Questions:

Question 1.
What is a tissue? What are its kinds?
Answer:
Tissue: A tissue is a group of cells having a similar origin along with intercellular material and performing a similar function. The different cells of a tissue are usually joined together. The microscopic study of tissues is called histology.

Depending upon the constitution, their structure and arrangement, tissues are of two types-simple and complex (= compound).
A simple tissue is made up of only one type of cells while a complex tissue consists of two or more types of cells.

Question 2.

Answer:
Depending upon the position (location) in the plant body, the meristems may be apical, intercalary and lateral.

1. Apical meristems are bom at the tips of the stems, roots and their branches.
2. Intercalary meristems are the left-out portions of the apical meristems that get separated from the latter by the differentiation of permanent tissues in-between meristems at the base of leaves or inter- nodes.
3. Lateral meristems are located along the lateral sides of stems and roots.

Question 3.
How will you prove that growth occurs in certain specific regions of plant?
Answer:
Apical meristem causes growth in length.
Materials: Two jars, two onion bulbs, water, pair, of scissors and measuring scale.

Procedure:

1. Take two glass jars and fill them with water.
2. Now, take two onion bulbs and place one on each jar as shown in the Fig.
3. Observe the growth of roots in both the bulbs for a few days.
4. Measure the length of roots on day 1,2 and 3.
5. On day 4, cut the root tips of the onion bulb in Jar-II by about 1 cm.

After this, observe the growth of roots in both the jars and measure their lengths each day for five more days and record the observations in tables like the table below:

Length	Day 1	Day 2	Day 3	Day 4	Day 5
Jar-I
Jar-II

Observation:
1. Roots of Jar-1 continue to grow on 5th and 6th day. They stop in case of Jar-II. Conclusion. It is due to the fact that apical meristem remains intact in case of Jar-I which is responsible for growth Thus growth occurs in specific regions.

PSEB 10th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 7 Control and Coordination

Long Answer Type Questions

Question 1.
Draw a well labeled diagram of the human brain and mention the functions of its various parts.
Answer:
Human brain is divided into three parts- Fore brain, mid brain and hind brain.
1. The Fore Brain: It is the largest part of the brain. It consists of the following parts :
(a) Olfactory lobes: They are concerned with sense of smell.
(b) Cerebrum: It is the most important and largest part of the fore brain. It is divided into two halves called the cerebral hemispheres. The two hemispheres are connected by a tract of nerve fibres called corpus callosum.

The functions of cerebrum are :

• It analyses the sensory signals in the association areas and thinking of a proper response.
• It sends response signals (motor signals) to the muscles through the motor areas.
• It stores memory of different experiences and uses this memory to generate proper responses.
• It is the seat of understanding language, memory, knowledge and logical thinking.

Section of human brain

(c) Thalamus: It is situated underneath (below) the cerebrum. Its function is to coordinate the incoming sensory signals to the cerebrum and outgoing motor signals from it.

• It controls many of the body’s important activities and feelings’ such as hunger, thirst, temperature regulation, sleep, emotional behaviour and sexual activity.
• It produces and secretes hormones that control the functioning of the pituitary gland situated just below it. It also controls the function of internal body organs by means of the autonomic nervous system.

2. The Mid Brain: It consists of crura cerebri and optic lobes. It is the topmost structure of the brain stem :

• It has centres relating to pain, temperature and touch.
• It controls many involuntary actions of the body.
• It has a collection of cells that control functioning of eyes and ears.

3. The Hind Brain: It consists of the pons, cerebellum and medulla oblongata :
(a) Pons. It is a bulging structure situated below the mid brain. It consists of large bundles of nerve fibres that interconnect different regions of the brain.

(b) Cerebellum. It is located at the lower back side of the brain under the cerebrum. Its functions are as follows :

• Maintaining the posture and balance of the body by controlling the muscles.
• It also controls the voluntary actions of the body by controlling motor signals coming from the cerebrum.

(c) Medulla oblongata. It is long stalk-like lowermost portion of the brain stem.. At the lower side it is connected with the spinal cord. It controls many involuntary actions such as salivation, vomiting, blood pressure, respiration and heart beat.

Question 2.
Describe the structure of spinal cord.
Answer:
The spinal cord extends from the foramen magnum where it is continuous with the medulla. It is a vital link between the brain and the body, and from the body to the brain. The spinal cord is 40 to 50 cm long and 1 cm to 1.5 cm in diameter. Two consecutive rows of nerve roots emerge on each of its sides. These nerve roots join distally to form 31 pairs of spinal nerves. The spinal cord is a cylindrical structure of nervous tissue composed of white and grey matter, is uniformly organized. The spinal nerve contains motor and sensory nerve fibres to and from all parts of the body.

Spinal Cord

Although the spinal cord constitutes only about 2% of the central nervous system (CNS), its functions are vital.
Knowledge of spinal cord functional anatomy makes it possible to diagnose the nature and location of cord damage and many cord diseases.

Question 3.
What is reflex action? Explain giving an example. What is reflex arc?
Answer:
Reflex action is a quick action in response without involvement of the thought process. It is controlled through the spinal cord in which transfer of impulse takes place from sensory neuron to the motor neuron. The path through which the signal travels during reflex action is called the reflex arc. As the reflex arc is a shorter route reflex action takes place in a fraction of a second. For example, if a person accidentally hits something on the leg, the pain receptors in the skin receive the pain and generate an electric signal. This impulse is sent by the sensory neuron to the spinal cord. In the spinal cord the impulse is transferred quickly to the motor neuron, which relays it to the leg muscles for quick action.

Question 4.
List the components of nervous system. What is a synapse? Explain what are its kinds.
Answer:

• Nervous system: It consists of central nervous system, peripheral nervous system and autonomic nervous system.
• Central nervous system: It consists of brain and spinal cord. It is the main controlling centre of the body.
• Peripheral nervous system: It consists of cranial and spinal nerves.
• Autonomic nervous system consists of a special set of peripheral nerves that innervate organs like heart, lungs, digestive tract.

Autonomic nervous system can be divided into two divisions :
(a) Sympathetic nervous system.
(b) Parasympathetic nervous system.

Synapse: Synapse is the close proximity of the axon of one neuron and the dendrite or cvton of another neuron with a gap. In a synapse, the transmitting cell is called the presynaptic cell, and the receiving cell is termed the postsynaptic cell. A narrow gap, called synaptic cleft, separates the presynaptic cell from the postsynaptic cell. Hence, an action potential occurring in the membrane of the presynaptic cell cannot be directly transmitted to the membrane of the postsynaptic cell.

Question 5.
What are phytohormones? Classify the main groups.
Answer:
Growth regulators: Growth is regulated not only by environmental factors like light and temperature but also by certain chemical substances within the plants. These substances are known as plant hormones, growth hormones, phytohormones or growth regulators. A plant hormone can be defined as a chemical substance, which is capable of translocation and regulating one or more physiological reactions, when present in low concentrations.

• Auxins
• Gibberellins
• Cytokinins
• Ethylene.
• Abscisic acid (ABA).

On the basis of their effect, phytohormones can be divided into two groups :
(а) Growth promoters: These stimulate the plant growth e.g. auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins and ethylene.
(b) Growth inhibitors: These inhibit or retard plant growth e.g. ABA.

Question 6.
Explain the following :
(i) Hydrotropism (ii) Thigmotropism (iii) Chemotropism.
Or
Explain briefly the various types of plant movements.
Answer:
Movements: Movements of plant parts can mostly be classified as growth movements and turgor movements. The growth movements are autonomic. The movements induced by external stimuli are called paratonic. Tropic movements can be of various types depending on the nature of external stimulus e.g. geotropism, thigmotropism, thermotropism, hydrotropism, chemotropism and phototropism.

Nastic movements are in the bifacial organ. Seismonastic movements are observed in Mimosa pudica.

• Phototropism: Movements towards stimulus of light.
• Geotropism: Movements towards stimulus of force of gravity.
• Hydrotropism: The term hydrotropism is applied to growth movements in response to external stimulus of water. Roots, normally or positively hydrotropic (i.e., they bend towards the source of water).
• Thigmotropism: Thigmotropism is the tropic movement in the plants due to the stimulus of touch, tactile, mechanical or rubbing.
• Chemotropism: When chemical substances are the external stimuli, the growth movement is termed as chemotropism. The best example is the growth of pollen tube through stigma and style towards the embryo sac with the stimulus of chemical substances present in the carpel.

Endocrine glands and their secretions

Short Answer Type Questions

Question 1.
What are hormones? Why are they called chemical messengers? What are the general properties of hormones?
Answer:
Hormones: They are informational molecules secreted by the endocrine cells in one part of the body in response to changes in external or internal environment, and carried by blood to another part where they stimulate or inhibit specific physiological processes for the good of the body as a whole.

In other words, the hormones are chemical messengers that regulate the biological processes in the organisms as they carry the information in the form of chemicals.

General properties of hormones

• The hormones themselves do not create biochemical processes. They only modify the existing metabolic processes and change the rate of action.
• Hormonal actions are usually long lasting than those produced by nerve impulses.
• They are effective in minute quantities.
• They are secreted in response to specific stimuli.
• They are secreted independent of one another.

Long Answer Type Questions

Question 1.
Describe the structure of the plant cell.
Answer:
A generalized plant cell consists of three distinct parts viz, cell wall, cell membrane or plasma membrane and protoplasm.
1. Cell wall. It is the outermost covering of a cell made up of a non-living substance called cellulose. Is is permeable. It provides shape, strength and protection to cell.

2. Cell membrane or Plasma membrane. It is thin, delicate and elastic protoplasmic covering lying internal to the cell wall. The plasma membrane controls the entrance and exit of molecules and ions.

3. Cytoplasm. It consists of a number of living and non-living structures. The living structures are called cytoplasmic organelles or cell organelles and include structures like endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, golgi apparatus, mitochondria, lysosomes, plastids, vacuoles etc.
(a) Plastids. Plastids are spherical or discoid bodies containing different types of pigments in them. They are of three types viz. chloroplasts, chromoplasts and leucoplasts. The chloroplasts contain a green pigment in them, called chlorophyll. They play a vital role in the process of photosynthesis. The chromoplasts contain pigments other than chlorophyll. They impart various colours to flowers and fruits. Leucoplasts are colourless plastids. They are concerned with the storage of starch.
(b) Mitochondria are power house of cell.
(c) Ribosomes are of 70 S type. They are site for protein synthesis.
(d) Endoplasmic reticulum is network of membranes.
(e) Vacuoles. These are fluid-filled bubble-like structures bounded by a membrane, called tonoplast. They are mostly found in plant cell. Vacuoles provide turgidity and rigidity to cell.

4. Nucleus. It is a dense spherical body bounded by a membrane, called nuclear membrane. Embedded within the nuclear sap are found a number of thread-like structures called chromosomes with genes on them. The nucleus controls the various metabolic activities of the cell.

Question 2.
Draw a well labelled diagram of ultrastructure of plant cell.
Answer:
Ultrastructure of plant cell

Question 3.
Describe the structure of nucleus. Write its functions.
Answer:
A true nucleus is present in all the eukaryotic cells except mammalian RBCs, sieve tube cells, tracheids and vessels. It directs life processes of cells. It is formed of four components:
(a) Nuclear membrane. It is a two-layered envelope around the nuclear sap. It is porous (with nuclear pores) and semipermeable membrane. Outer membrane is studded with ribosomes and may be continuous with RER. It regulates exchange of materials between nucleoplasm and cytoplasm.

(b) Nucleoplasm. It is a semifluid colloidal substance in which nucleoli and chromatin fibres are present.
(c) Nucleolus. It is dense, spherical, naked and darkly stained structure and is the site of formation and storehouse of rRNAs.
(d) Ovomatin fibres. These are long, fine and darkly stained threads which collectively form nuclear reticulum. During prophase of mitosis and meiosis, these condense to form a species-specific number of rods, called chromosomes. These are with genes which are chemically formed of DNA and act as units of heredity and variations.
Functions of the nucleus:
The nucleus performs the following important functions:

• The nucleus controls all the cellular activities of the cell.
• Tire nucleus plays an important role in transmission of hereditary characters from parents to offsprings.
• The nucleus plays a vital role in cell division.

Question 4.

(a) Chloroplast
(b) Endoplasmic reticulum
(c) Golgi bodies
Answer:
Structure and functions of a chloroplast:
A chloroplast is formed of two membranes and two chambers, so resembles a mitochon-drion. Outer membrane is freely permeable while inner membrane is semi permeable. Inner chamber is filled with a denser and granular proteinaceous (about 50%) ground substance called stroma or matrix. It is site of dark reaction or CO₂ fixation of photosynthesis and has a number of grana, 70 S ribosomes and DNA molecules (circular and naked).
1. Grana are site for light reactions of photosynthesis.
2. Function of Chloroplasts: These are sites of photosynthesis, so are called “kitchens of cell.”

PSEB 9th Class Science Important Questions Chapter 4 Structure of the Atom

Long Answer Type Questions:

Question 1.
What is Rutherford’s ∝-ray scattering experiment? Give its observations. How does Rutherford explain this observation?
Answer:
Rutherford’s ∝-ray scattering experiment: In this experiment, Rutherford obtained a thin stream of fast-moving alpha (∝) particles from radioactive source (P₀) and was allowed to strike against a thin foil of heavy metal like gold. Alpha particles are also called helium nuclei (He²⁺ with + 2 unit charge and 4 a.m.u. mass). As a result of the experiment, he made the following observations:

1. Most of the ∝-particles passed through the gold foil without any deflection from their original path.
2. Some of the ∝-particles got deflected by small angles from their original path.
3. A few ∝-particles (approximately 1 out of 10,000) were deflected to a large extent. In some cases, the a-particles came back in the same direction after striking the gold foil.

Explanation for the observations:

We know that the gold foil is made up of atoms of gold which are placed side by side. Since most of the ∝-particles passed through these atoms undeflected they did not come across any obstruction in their path, this shows that most of the space in the atom is light or hollow.

The electrons with negligible mass were supposed to be present in this portion called extra nuclear portion. The a-particies were deflected from their path and a very few came back in the same direction. This shows that they must have met with some obstruction in their path.
The obstruction must be
1. Heavy because a-particles are high speed particles and can remove light obstruction from their path.
2. Small because only a few a-particles got deflected.
3. Positively charged because some a-particles were repelled by this obstruction.

This small, heavy and positively charged portion inside an atom was called nucleus. The protons with mass and positive charge were supposed to be present in the nucleus. Later on, neutrons were also found to be present in the nucleus of the atom.

Question 2.
Discuss in brief Rutherford’s Model of atom.
Answer:
The main points of Rutherford’s model of atom are listed as follows:
1. An atom has two parts. These are nucleus and extra nuclear portion.
2. The nucleus contains protons while electrons are present in the extra nuclear portion.
3. Most of the mass of the atom is due to the nucleus because electrons have negligible mass.

4. The volume occupied by the nucleus is very small as compared to the volume occupied by extra nuclear portion.
5. The electrons in the extra nuclear portion are not stationary. These are revolving around the nucleus. The electrons are called planetary electrons because they can be compared to various planets which revolve around the sun. The nucleus may be compared with the sun.

Question 3.
Discuss the arrangement of the electrons in the different energy levels.
Or
Describe Bohr-Bury scheme for the distribution of electrons in the various orbits or energy levels of an atom.
Answer:
The distribution of electrons in the energy levels is given with the help of Bohr Bury scheme. It is given as follows:
1. The energy levels or energy shells are filled in order of increasing energies. The electrons first enter the K shell (n = 1. which is closest to the nucleus. This is followed by L shell (n = 2), M shell (n = 3) and so on. Here V represents the number of the shell.
2. The maximum number of electrons in any shell is given as 2n² (n = number of the shell). The distribution in the first four energy shells is given in the table given below:
Distribution of electrons in first four energy shells according to 2n² rule.

Symbol of shell	Number of shell (n)	Maximum number of electrons (2n2)
K	1	2 x (1)2 = 2
L	2	2 x (2)2 = 8
M	3	2 x (3)2 = 18
N	4	2 x (4)2 = 32

3. The outermost energy shell cannot have more than 8 electrons. The next inner shell called penultimate shell, cannot have more than 18 electrons.
4. It is not necessary that an energy level or shell is fully filled before the filling in the next energy level starts. In fact, filling of electrons in a new shell starts when any shell contains 8 electrons.
On the basis of the above scheme, let us discus with mass number 24 and atomic number 12.

• Mass no. of atom (A) = 24
• Atomic no. of atom (Z) = 12
• No. of protons in nucleus = 12
• No. of neutrons in nucleus = 12
• No. of electrons to be distributed = 12
• The distribution in the various energy shells: K L M: 2, 8, 2

Question 4.
Give the electronic distribution in the first twenty elements on the basis of Bohr-Bury scheme.
Answer:
On the basis of Bohr-Bury scheme, the distribution of electrons in first twenty elements (Z = 1 to Z = 20) is given below:
Table: Electronic distribution in atoms of first 20 elements

Element (Symbol)	Mass No. (A)	Atomic No. (Z)	No. of Protons (P)	No. of Electrons (e)	No. of Neutrons (n) (A-Z)	Electronic Distribution
						K	L	M	N
1. Hydrogen (H)	1	1	1	1	0	1
2. Helium (He)	4	2	2	2	2	2
3. Lithium (Li)	7	3	3	3	4	9	1
4. Beryllium (Be)	9	4	4	4	5	2	2
5. Boron (B)	11	5	5	5	6	2	3
6. Carbon (C)	12	6	6	6	6	2	4
7. Nitrogen (N)	14	7	7	7	7	2	5
8. Oxygen (O)	16	8	8	8	8	2	6
9. Fluorine (F)	19	9	9	9	10	2	7
10. Neon (Ne)	20	10	10	10	10	2	8
11. Sodium (Na)	23	11	11	11	12	2	8	1
12. Magnesium (Mg)	24	12	12	12	12	9	8	2
13. Aluminium (Al)	27	13	13	13	14 ‘	2	8	3
14. Silicon (Si)	28	14	14	14	14	2	8	4
15. Phosphorus (P)	31	15	15	15	16	2	8	5
16. Sulphur (S)	32	16	16	16	16	2	8	6
17. Chlorine (Cl)	35	17	17	17	18	2	8	7
18. Argon (Ar)	40	18	18	18	22	2	8	8
19. Potassium (K)	39	19	19	19	20	2	8	8	1
20. Calcium (Ca)	40	20	20	20	20	2	8	8	2

Special cases of Potassium and Calcium:

• In case of Potassium (Z = 19), the M shell has only 8 electrons and not 18. Actually, when the M shell gets 8 electrons, the filling of electrons starts in the next shell which is N-shell. When the N-shell gets 2 electrons, the electron are again- filled in the M shell.
• Thus, electronic distribution in potassium (Z = 19) is
  K L M N
  2 8 8 1 (M shell has 8 electrons and N shell has 1 electron)
• Similarly, the electronic distribution in calcium (Z = 20) is:
  K L M N: 2 8 8 2 (M shell has 8 electrons and N shell has 2 electrons)

Short Answer Type Questions:

Question 1.
What do you understand by the structure of atom?
Answer:
According to the Dalton’s atomic theory, the smallest particle of matter is called atom. But later studies have shown that an atom is further made up of sub-atomic particles called electrons, protons and neutrons. Different atoms have different number of such particles and they also differ in the arrangement of these particles. Therefore, the atoms have different properties.

Question 2.
What happens when electric field is applied to the path of cathode rays? What does it show?
Answer:
When electric field is applied to the path of the cathode rays, these are deflected towards the positive plate of the field. This shows that the cathode rays consist of negatively charged particles.

Question 3.
What is the information conveyed by the following observations :

1. Atom is electrically neutral,
2. Mass of the atom is due to the nucleus.

Answer:

1. If an atom is electrically neutral, this means that it will have equal number of protons and electrons. Both protons and electrons have 1 unit charge but with opposite sign.
2. This means that nucleus contains in it both protons and neutrons which have mass.

Question 4.
What is the significance of number of protons found in the atoms in each of the different elements?

The electronic configuration of P (Z = 15) is 2, 8, 5. Why is the valency of phosphorus 3 and not 5?
Answer:
The electronic configuration of phosphorus (P) shows that it has 5 valence electrons. Its valency is expected to be 5. But it is not possible for the atom to lose 5 electrons present in the valence shell because the energy required to remove these electrons will be very high. Therefore, phosphorus atom has valency equal to 3 because to gain 3 electrons is easier than losing 5 electrons as it requires less energy.

Question 22.
What information is conveyed by the statement that the mass number of magnesium is 24 and the atomic number is 12?
Answer:
The atomic number (12) of magnesium indicates that its atom has 12 protons in the nucleus and an equal number of electrons in the extra nuclear portion. The mass number (24) points out that there are also 12 neutrons (24 – 12 = 12) present in the nucleus alongwith protons.

Question 23.
Is it possible for an atom to have 12 protons and 13 electrons? Explain.
Answer:
No, it is not possible. An atom must always be electrically neutral. This means that it has no net charge present on it. Now, each proton has one unit positive charge and each electron has one unit negative charge. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons and protons must always be the same. Thus, an atom cannot have 12 protons and 13 electrons.

Long Answer Type Questions:

Question 1.
(a) Write the important postulates of the Dalton’s Atomic Theory.
(b) Give four drawbacks of Dalton’s Atomic Theory.
Answer:
(a) Dalton’s atomic theory was given by John Dalton in 1808 to e×plain the nature of an atom and the chemical combination in the atoms. The main points of the theory are:

1. All matter is made up of a large number of e×tremely small particles called atoms.
2. An atom cannot be further divided.
3. Atoms are of different kinds. There are as many kinds of atoms as are of elements.
4. Atoms of a particular element are identical in all respects i.e. they have same mass and similar properties.
5. Atoms of the different elements are different i.e. they have different masses and properties.
6. Two or more atoms of the same or different elements combine to form compound atoms or molecules of compounds.
7. The number and the nature of atoms in a molecule always remains the same.
8. Atoms of the different elements combine in a simple whole number but fi×ed ratios to form compound atoms (now called molecules).
9. Atoms of the same element can combine to form two or more compounds.
10. Atom can neither be created nor be destroyed.

(b) Drawbacks of Dalton’s Atomic Theory:

1. Atom is no longer indivisible.
2. Atoms of the same element may not be always identical.
3. Atoms of different elements may have same atomic masses.
4. It does not e×plain the cause of chemical combination.

Question 2.
How to write a chemical formula of an ionic compound from its radicals?
Answer:
While writing the formula of an ionic compound, the following steps are used :

1. Write down the symbol or formula of positive ion to the left and the symbol or formula of the negative ion to the right.
2. Shift the valency of positive ion to the lower right of the negative ion and the valency of negative ion to the lower right of the positive ion.
3. Take out the common factor if any.
4. The formula compound radical is enclosed in small brackets and subscript is put outside the bracket. The subscript 1 is omitted.

Question 3.
How will you write the name of a binary molecular compound?
Answer:
A covalent compound made up of two elements is called a binary molecular compound, e.g. water (H₂0).
While writing the name of a binary molecular compound, first write the name of the element whose symbol appears on the left hand side in the molecular formula and write down the name of other element. The name of the other element should end with ‘ide’. The prefi×es di, tri, tetra, penta etc. are used to indicate 2, 3, 4, 5…. atoms of an element.

Some examples are:

• Compound – Name
• CO – Carbon mono×ide
• CO₂ – Carbon dio×ide
• ZnO – Zinc O×ide
• SO₂ – Sulphur dio×ide
• PCl₃ – Phosphorus trichloride
• PCl₅ – Phosphorus pentachloride

Question 4.
Give one experiment to prove the truth of law of conservation of mass.
Answer:
1. Prepare 5% solution of barium chloride and sodium sulphate in separate beaker.
2. Take a small amount of solution of barium chloride in a conical flask and a small amount of solution of sodium sulphate in an ignition tube.

3. Suspend the ignition tube carefully in the conical flask with a thread and cork it.
4. Weigh the flask carefully. To prove the law of conservation of mass
5. Tilt and swirl the flask such that the two solutions get mi×ed and react.
6. Cool the flask to room temperature and again weigh it. The weight remains unchanged showing the truth of the law.

Solution:
First experiment

• Weight of copper = 2.16 g
• Weight of copper o×ide = 2.70 g
• Percentage of copper in copper o×ide = \(\frac{2.16}{2.70}\) × 100 = 80
• Percentage of o×ygen in copper o×ide = 100

Second Experiment

• Weight of copper o×ide = 1.15 g
• Weight of copper = 0.92 g
• Percentage of copper in copper o×ide = \(\frac{0.92}{1.15}\) × 100 = 80
• Percentage of O in CuO = 100 – 80 = 20
• Since the percentage composition of copper o×ide in the two e×periments is the same. The above results illustrate the law of definite proportions.

Question 2.
Carbon and oxygen combine in the ratio 3 : 8 by mass to form carbon dio×ide. What mass of o×ygen would be required to react completely with 6 g of carbon?
Solution:
3 g of carbon gas reacts with o×ygen = 8 g
∴ 6g of carbon gas will react with o×ygen = 8/3 × 6 = 16 g

Question 3.
In water molecule the ratio by mass in which hydrogen and o×ygen react is 1 : 8. Calculate the ratio by number of atoms in water molecules.
Solution:

Element	Ratio by mass	Atomic mass	Relative no. of atoms	Simplest Atomic ratio
H	1	1	1/1 = 1	2
O	8	16	8/16 = 1/2 = 0.5	1

Solution:
Molecular weight of H₂O = 2 × 1 + 16 = 18
∴ According to mole-concept,
Number of molecules in 18 g of H₂O = 6.022 × 10₂₃
= 6.022 × 10²³
∴ Number of molecules in 1.8 g of H₂O =
\(\frac{6.022 × 10²³}{18}\) × 18
= 6.022 × 10²²

Question 14.
Which of the following would weigh most?

Question 7.
Explain the following:
(a) Fractional crystallisation
(b) Sublimation
(c) Filtration
Answer:
(a) Fractional Crystallisation. The process of separation of components of a mixture having different solubilities in the same solvent is called fractional crystallisation. This method is used for the separation of components of a mixture which are soluble in the same solvent on heating but have different solubilities.
For example, a mixture of potassium nitrate and sodium chloride can be separated by this method.

This can be explained as follows:
The mixture is dissolved in water. The solid is concentrated to the crystallisation point. On cooling the crystals of less slouble component i.e., sodium chloride appear first. These are separated. On further cooling the crystals of more soluble component i.e., of potassium nitrate will appear. The pure crystals can be obtained by recrystallisation from the same solvent i.e, water.

(b) Sublimation: This method is used for the separation of the components of a mixture in which one component undergoes sublimation whereas other does not. For example, a mixture of ammonium chloride and common salt can be separated by this purpose take the mixture of ammonium chloride and common salt in a china dish. Cover it with an inverted funnel and its open end is to be closed with cotton wool. The walls of china dish are kept booled. On heating, ammonium chloride sublimes and condenses on the cooler parts whereas common salt is left behind. The fine powder of ammonium chloride deposited on the funnel is scrapped with the help of a knife.

Similarly, the mixture of iodine and sand can be separated by this method in which iodine sublimes whereas sand does not.

(c) Filtration. In this method, the mixutre is dissolved in a suitable solvent in which one component dissolves whereas other does not.

For example, a mixture of charcoal and sulphur can be separated by this method. The mixture is treated with carbon disulphide which dissloves sulphur whereas charcoal is left behind. The insoluble charcoal is separated by filtration and is dried. From the filtrate, sulphur can be obtained by evaporating carbon disulphide.

Question 8.
Explain the process of:
1. Distillation
2. Evaporation
Answer:
1. Distillation: The process of converting a liquid into gaseous state by heating to boiling point and condensing the vapour to get the pure liquid is called distillation.
For example, salt can be separated from sea water by this method. For this purpose the apparatus is fitted as shown below:

The mixture of solid and liquid is taken in a distillation flask. On heating vapour of liquid (water) are produced. These are condensed in water condenser and collected in a receiver. The non-volatile sodium chloride is left behind. Similar, a mixture of methyl alcohol and iodine i an be separated by this method.

2. Evaporation: Evaporation is a process of changing a liquid into its gaseous state by heating it at a temperature below its boiling point. For example, common salt can be obtained from a mixture of common salt and water by evaporation.

The mixture is heated in a china dish using sand bath when water vaporises whereas common salt is left behind.

Question 9.
What is chromatography? Why is it regarded as superior method of purification?
Answer:

• Chromatography. The process of separation of different components of a mixture by adsorbing them over a suitable material (called adsorbent) is called chromatography.
• Originally, this technique was used to separate coloured mixtures but now-a-days this method can be used for colourless as well as coloured substances.

The main advantages of this technique are:

1. It can be applied to separate the mixture even if very small amount of mixture of the substances is available.
2. The components of a mixture don’t get wasted during separation.
3. It also helps in estimating the constituents of a mixture apart from separation.

Question 10.
What is the principle of chromatographic separation? Name the different types of chromatography commonly used.
Answer:
Chromatography is based upon the distribution of the mixture of the components between the two phases i.e. a stationary phase and a moving phase. The moving phase consists of mixture of the substances to be separated. The moving phase is applied over a solid or liquid i.e., a stationary phase. The stationary phase separates the components of the mixture by the phenomenon of either partition, adsorption or ion exchange. The different chromatographic techniques are:
(a) Column chromatography
(b) Thin layer chromatography
(c) Ion exchange chromatography
(d) Paper chromatography.

Question 11.
How will you separate gas-gas mixtures?
Answer:
The gas-gas mixtures can be separated by the following method:
Fractional evaporation of mixture of liquefied gases. The mixture of two gases is liquefied by applying high pressure and then allowing it to expand. For example, when air is liquefied under high pressure and allowed to stand, both oxygen and nitrogen get liquefied.

The above liquid mixture is maintained at a temperature of -196°C (b.pt. of liquid N₂), nitrogen boils off. For example, a mixture of carbon dioxide and hydrogen can be separated by passing through porous partitions as showm below.

In this case, H₂ being lighter diffuses at a faster rate as compared to CO₂.

Question 12.
What are the various types of colloidal solutions based upon the physical states of dispersed phase and dispersion medium? Give one example in each case.
Answer:
These are of eight types:

Dispersed Phase	Dispersion Medium	Type or name of colloidal solution	Examples

4. Solid	Liquid	Sol	Mud, milk of magnesia
5. Liquid	Liquid	Emulsion	Milk, hair cream
6. Gas	Liquid	Foam	Froth, whipped cream
7. Solid	Gas	Solid aerosol	Smoke

The concentration of a solution can be expressed as

Question 14.
Describe how you would separate the constituents of the following mixtures in a reasonably pure state:
(a) Sand and iodine
(b) Water and sugar
(c) Ingredients of gun powder
(d) Sulphur, sand and common salt
(e) Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide.
Answer:
(a) Sand and iodine. The mixture can be separated by sublimation when iodine sublimes whereas sand is left behind.

(b) Water and sugar. Sugar and water can be separated by evaporation when water evaporates and sugar is left behind.

(c) Ingredients of gun powder. Gun powder is a mixture of sulphur, nitre and charcoal. Shake the mixture with water. Nitre passes into solution separated by filtration. Evaporate the filtrate. We get pure nitre.
Shake the residue obtained above with carbon disulphide when sulphur dissolves while charcoal is separated by filtration. From filtration sulphur is obtained by evaporating carbon disulphide.

(d) Sulphur, sand and common salt. Shake the mixture with water and filter. Common salt passes into solution. The filtrate is evaporated to get common salt.
Shake the residue obtained above with carbon disulphide and filter sulphur goes into the filtrate. Evaporate it when sulphur is left behind. Sand is left behind insoluble in carbon disulphide.

(e) Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. The mixture can be separated by diffusion through a porous pot when carbon monoxide differ faster than carbon dioxide and thus get separated.

Question 15.
What is paper chromatography? How will you separate the coloured constituents present in a mixture of ink and water?
Answer:
The process of separation of different dissolved components of a mixture by adsorbing them on a suitable material (called adsorbent) is called chromatography. The adsorbent can be solid or liquid. For example, alumina, magnesium oxide, special filter paper.
The components of a mixture are generally dissolved in a solvent like water, alcohol etc. If a filter paper is used as an adsorbent for the separation of components of a mixture, this technique is called paper chromatography.

The process of separation of coloured constituents present in a mixture of ink and water is described ahead:
1. Take a special filter paper about 25 cm long and 4 cm broad and stick it to a glass rod at its one end with the help of gum as shown below. Mark a line at a distance of 3 cm from the lower end with the help of pencil. Put a drop of ink at the centre of this line with the help of a fine capillary.
2. Dip this end in water taken in a beaker upto 2 cm.
3. Suspend this filter paper in a tall cylinder and allow it to stand undisturbed for one hour. The water rises up the filter paper and reaches the ink drop, dissolves its components and rise upwards along with water. The different components of ink are adsorbed upto different extents on the filter paper, therefore, they travel different distances on the filter paper.
4. After one hour, the filter paper is taken out and dried. Different of colours corresponding to the components of ink are produced on the filter paper. This filter paper is called chromatograph.

Question 16.
Briefly describe simple methods of separating the following mixtures:
(a) Powdered chalk and sugar
(b) Nitre and common salt
(c) Iron and copper filings
(d) Ammonium chloride, sand and common salt
(e) Ammonia and hydrogen.
Answer:
(a) Powdered chalk and sugar can be separated by using water which dissolves sugar and chalk is insoluble. It is separated by filtration. From sugar solution, sugar is obtained by evaporating water.

(b) Nitre and common salt. The mixture can be separated by fractional crystallisation from the solutions in water because they have different solubilities in water.

(c) Iron and copper filings can be separated by using a magnet when iron filings cling to magnet whereas copper filings don’t.

(d) Ammonium chloride, sand and common salt. Ammonium chloride is separated by sublimation. Sand and common salt are separated by using water when sand remains insoluble and is separated by filtration, From aqueous solution, sodium chloride can be separated by evaporation.

(e) Ammonia and hydrogen can be separated by diffusion through porous pot. Ammonia and hydrogen have different rates of diffusion due to different densities.

Question 17.
How will you separate liquid-liquid mixture or immiscible liquids?
Answer:
The liquid-liquid mixtures can be separated by using :
1. Separating funnel.
2. Fractional distillation.
1. Separation of liquid-liquid mixture by using separating funnel. This method is used when the two liquids are immiscible. For example, a mixture of carbon disulphide and wrater can be separated by this method.

The mixture is taken in a separating funnel. The funnel is allowed to stand for sometime. On standing, the liquid having higher density forms the lower layer whereas the liquid having lower density forms the upper layer. The two liquids are taken out from the separating funnel in separate conical flask.

2. Separation of liquid-liquid mixture using fractional distillation:

The process of separating the mixture of two immiscible liquids by using distillation carried out with the help of a long fractionating column is called fractional distillation.
For example, a mixture of ethyl alcohol and water can be separated by this method. The apparatus is fitted as shown below:

The mixture of ethyl alcohol anci water is heated in a distillation flask fitted with a fractionating column. On heating the vapour of liquid having lower boiling point are produced first and condensed in the water condenser and collected in a receiver. When the temperature of thermometer begins to rise, the vapour of other liquid are produced and these are condensed and collected in a separate receiver.

Question 18.
How will you separate the solid-liquid mixtures?
Answer:
The solid-liquid mixtures can be separated by the following methods:
1. By sedimentation and decantation. In this method, the mixture is allowed to stand when the solid particles settle down as sediment whereas clear liquid is left behind which is poured out carefully. This process is called decantation e.g. mixture of sand and water can be separated by this method. By this method, the complete separation is not possible.

2. By filtration. In this method, the mixture can be separated by using filter paper when the insoluble solid is left on the filter paper whereas the clear liquid passes out from the filter paper and is collected. For example, a mixture of chalk and water can be separated by this method.

Question 6.
How will you explain the three states of matter on the basis of Kinetic Model?
Answer:
Solid: In solids the constituent particles are closely packed and there are large attractive forces between them. Therefore, the particles have low kinetic energies and can’t move from one position to another but they have only vibratory motion. Hence solids have definite shapes and definite volumes.
Examples: Wood, rock, copper, iron, cement, stone etc.

Liquid: In liquids the molecules have higher kinetic energies, distances between the molecules are more and attractive forces between the molecules are small. Therefore, the molecules of a liquid can move from one position to another within the liquid. Hence the liquid can take the shape of the container. But the volume of the liquid remains fixed because the molecules can’t leave the liquid.
Examples: Alcohol, milk, benzene, kerosene oil, petrol etc.

Gas: In gases, the molecules have high kinetic energies, there are large vacant spaces between the molecules and there are negligible attractive forces between the molecules. Therefore, in gases, molecules can move randomly and occupy the whole space available to them. Hence, they don’t have definite volumes and shapes.
Examples: Hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide etc.

Question 7.
Define the terms given below and answer the questions associated with them.
(a) Sublimation: Which of the following substances sublime?
Ice, mercury, dry ice, iodine.
(b) Solid: Why do not solids diffuse in one another?
(c) Liquid: Why do liquids flow?
(d) Freezing point: What is the freezing point of water?
(e) Gas: Why are gases compressible and show diffusion?
Answer:
(a) Sublimation. It is the process in which a solid directly changes into vapour on heating and on cooling the gas directly changes into solid.
Dry ice and iodine sublime.
(b) Solid. It is that state of matter which has definite mass, volume and shape, e.g. sugar, rubber, table, stone etc.
The solids don’t diffuse because in the solid state the vacant spaces between the molecules are very small and molecules of a solid can’t move from one position to another.
(c) Liquid. A liquid is that state of matter which has definite mass and volume but has no definite shape, e.g. milk, petrol, kerosene oil, water etc. Liquids flow because the attractive forces between the molecules of a liquid are very small and the molecules can freely move within the liquid.
(4) Freezing point. It is the temperature at which a liquid changes into a solid state by giving out heat energy. For example, freezing point of water is 0°C.
(e) Gas. It is defined as that state of matter which has definite mass only but has neither definite shape nor definite volume. For example, carbon dioxide, oxygen, hydrogen, ammonia etc.
