Q: 13 In which of the following cases can we be CERTAIN that a chemical change has taken
place?
1 When a white powder V and black powder W are mixed, powder X with black and white particles
is obtained.
2 When a liquid Q is taken in a beaker and powder R is added to it and stirred, R dissolves in Q.
3 When two liquids S and T are mixed, the beaker gets hot and a new gas U is evolved.
4 When a solid P is heated in a beaker for some time, it changes into a liquid.

Q: 14 Four friends decided to make a cake. This is what each one of them did.

Philo: sieved the powder sugar

Sheila: chopped the dry fruits to be added
Rosalyn: baked the cake in the oven
Mary: melted chocolate to pour over the cake

Whose activity will result in the formation of a new substance?

1 Philo 2 Sheila 3 Rosalyn 4 Mary

Q: 15 Which of the following can be said about MOST PHYSICAL CHANGES?

P) They can be reversed.

Q) They cannot be reversed.
R) They involve the formation of a new substance.
1 only P 2 only R 3 either P or R 4 both Q and R

Q: 16 To make candles, wax is heated, melted and poured into moulds.

When a candle is burnt, it gives off heat and light.

Which of the following options correctly identifies whether the above changes are
physical or chemical?
1 Melting wax - physical change
Burning the candle - physical change
2 Melting wax - physical change
Burning the candle - chemical change
3 Melting wax - chemical change
Burning the candle - physical change
4 Melting wax - chemical change
Burning the candle - chemical change

Q: 18 Two thin bars, PQ and RS stick to each other when placed side by side as shown in the
figure. Which of the following can you conclude from it?

1 PQ and RS are both magnets.

2 PQ is definitely a magnet. RS is most probably an iron bar that is attracted to the magnet.
3 One of PQ and RS is a magnet. We cannot be sure whether the other one is a magnet or not.
4 (None of the above can be said about either of them.)

Q: 19 Three similar bar magnets, LM, PQ and XY were freely suspended next to one another.
The diagram below shows what happened to the three magnets.

Which of the following diagrams correctly shows what would happen when the
magnets LM and XY are freely suspended near each other?

1 2

Q: 20 Tim is playing with his friends in his room. They want to find out in which direction the
door of the room faces. For this, they decide to use a magnet tied to a thread with
nothing marked on it (see figure).

Tim suspends the magnet and based on how it looks he declares 'The door faces
north!'. Do you think Tim found out the direction correctly?
1 Yes, because the magnet points in the north-south direction.
2 Yes, because magnets are commonly used to find directions.
3 No, because the magnet's poles are not marked for directions.
4 No, because the magnet would keep changing its direction.

Q: 21 A bar magnet PQ is cut into two pieces as shown. One of the pieces PR is further cut
into two pieces. Which of the following is true?

1 SR will not be a magnet.

2 SR will be a magnet having North Poles at both S and R.
3 SR will be a magnet having South Pole at S and North Pole at R.
4 SR will be a magnet having North Pole at S and South Pole at R.

Q: 22 You know that unlike magnetic poles attract - the south pole of one magnet is
attracted to the north pole of another magnet within its magnetic field.

A magnetic compass responds to the earth's magnetic field and comes to rest in the
North-South orientation with the North pole of the compass pointing to the Earth's
geographic North. What does this imply?
1 The earth's magnetic South pole is near its geographic North pole.
2 The earth's magnetic North pole is near its geographic North pole.
3 The earth's magnetic poles are perpendicular to its geographic poles.
4 The earth's magnetic poles lie at the core of the earth, which is a mass of molten iron.

Q: 23 In which of the following ways can a magnet lose its properties?

i. by heating it
ii. by dropping it
iii. by hammering it
iv. by storing with another magnet
1 only i 2 only i and ii
3 only i, ii and iii 4 all - i, ii, iii and iv

Q: 24 In the diagram shown, an object "X" is brought close to a ring-shaped magnet. The
magnet neither moves towards X nor does it move away from X. Four friends are
discussing what X could be. Who is correct?

Nishchal: X can be something non-metallic, or a metal that is not attracted by a

magnet.
Kokila: X can be a magnet because small magnets do not get attracted to ring
magnets.
Abhilasha: X can be an iron piece too because iron pieces get attracted only by a large
magnet.
Simran: X can only be something that is non-metallic because all metals are attracted
by a magnet.
