Things in the back pack

(Handkerchief, steel vessels, Thread, match box, plates, glasses, sandwiches and a towel)
a) Name the methods used by Raj along with reasons. (2)
(Any two from below)
Sedimentation and decantation- To sediment the sand/insoluble particles.
Filtration- To filter out the floating/suspended particles.
Boiling – To kill micro-organisms.

3.

a. What metal is ‘P’ made up of? Why? (1)

Tungsten metal as it has high melting point.
b. Write two advantages of ‘Q’. (1)
Glass covering to allow light to pass through
and not allowing the oxygen to enter/not
allowing argon gas to escape.

4. Give Reason: (2)

a. Air around becomes clearer after it rains.
Rain drops make the dust particles heavy and fall to the ground making the air clearer.
b. In the mixture of husk, pepper and wheat flour, sieving should be done first to
separate flour and then winnowing to separate husk particles.
Sieving is done first as to remove the wheat flour and then winnowing to remove the
husk from pepper/ If Winnowing is done first, then both husk and wheat flour is carried
away by wind.
