Question No. 1
1. Corrosion is rusting of iron
Ans: Yes, corrosion of iron is one of the examples of corrosion process.
In corrosion, surface of materials like metals are damaged. It happens as a result of
chemical or electrochemical reaction with the oxygen and water forming metal oxides or
other chemical compounds.
In rusting of iron, iron reacts with oxygen in the presence of moisture or water to form
iron oxide and the surface of iron is corroded.
Thus, rusting of iron is an example of corrosion.
2. pH indicators should be used to test for rusting
Ans: No, pH indicators can’t be used to test for rusting.
pH indicators are chemical compounds used to find the acidity and basicity of a
solution.
3. Rusting take place in the presence of oxygen only
Ans: No, Rusting cannot take place in the presence of oxygen only.
Two conditions are necessary for rusting of iron; the presence of oxygen and moisture
i.e. water.
4. Rusting will not take place in water (100 Co) and oil mixture
Ans: Yes, rusting will not take place in water at 100 Co and oil mixture.
There are two necessary conditions for rusting, the presence of water and oxygen.
Water when heated to 100 oC, release all the dissolved oxygen. Similarly, the presence of
oil prevents rusting.
Thus, rusting will not take place in the absence of oxygen and presence of oil.
5. Rusting will occur faster in sea water than tap water
Ans: Rusting is an electrochemical process. Sea water contains dissolved salts and thus,
have more free ions than tap water.
 So, the process will occur faster in sea water than tap water.

Question No. 2
1) Ans:
1. Prokaryotic organisms: Bacteria
2. Eukaryotic organisms: Plants, animals, fungi
3. Unicellular organisms: Amoeba, Chlamydomonas, Euglena
4. Multicellular organisms: Plants, animals, sponges, hydra
2) Ans:
1. Similarities:
Structural:
a. Both have double membrane
b. Both contains fluids
c. Both are Eukaryotic cell organelles
d. Both have DNA

Functional:
a. Both generates energy in the form of ATP
2. Differences:
Structural:
a. Chloroplasts are ellipsoidal in shape while mitochondria have oblong shape
however, they keep to change shape gradually with time.
b. Chloroplast is large in size and its internal structural is more complex than
chloroplast.

Functional:

a. Chloroplast converts light energy into chemical energy while mitochondria do

not do so.
b. Mitochondria generates energy from glucose while chloroplast convert light
into chemical energy.
