SECTION – IV
29) appropriate reasons are:
a) Higher the specific heat capacity of a body, the more heat is
required to raise the temperature of a body. So accordingly, Water
has a very high specific heat capacity. Water melon has a lot of
water in it. Due to the presence of water in a water melon, it has
high specific heat capacity and therefore thus does not heat up
easily. It stays cool.

b) The oceans behave like heat store houses for the Earth. Due to
high specific heat it absorbs a large amount of heat without
appreciable rise in temperature. They moderate the temperature
near the equator. Oceans transport is the heat away from the
equator areas and helps to moderate the climates there also.
29)
1. Some people cannot see objects at long distances but can see
nearby objects clearly. This type of vision defect is called
myopia (near sightedness).
2. In this case, the eye lens can form an image in front of the
retina.
3. Myopia is corrected by using a concave lens of focal length equal
to the distance of the far point F from the eye.
4. This lens diverges the parallel rays from distant object as if they
are coming from the far point.
5. Finally the eye lens forms a clear image at the retina.
30)
1. A 2. C 3. F 4. D
30)
1. Oxides: Bauxite, zinc Blend, Pyrolusite, Zincite, Hematite
2. Sulfides: Cinnabar, Galena
3. Sulphates: Epsom salt.
31) Aim: Identifying relation between angle of incidence and angle of
refraction.
Materials required: A plank, white chart, protractor, scale, small
black painted plank, a semi-circular glass disc of thickness nearly
2 cm pencil and laser light.
Procedure:
1. Take a wooden plank which is covered with white chart.
2. Draw two perpendicular lines, passing through the middle of the
paper as shown in the figure (a).
3. Let the intersecting point be O.

4. Mark one line as NN which is normal to the another line marked as

MM.
5. Here MM represents the line drawn along the interface of two media
and NN represents the normal drawn to this line at „O‟. Take a
protractor and place it along NN in such a way that its centre
coincides with „O‟ as shown in figure (b).
6. Then mark the angles from 0° to 90° on both sides of the line NN.
Repeat the same on the other side of the line NN.
7. The angles should be represented on circular line.
8. Now place semi circular glass disc so that its diameter coincides
with the interface line (MM) and its centre coincides with the point O.
9. Take the laser light and send it along NN in such a way that the
laser propagates from air to glass through the interface at point O
and observe the way of laser light coming from other side of disc.
10. There is no deviation.
11. Send Laser light along a line which makes 15° (angle of incidence)
with NN and see that it must pass through point O.
12. Measure its corresponding angle of refraction.
13. Repeat the experiment with angle of incidences of 20°, 30°, 40°, 50°
and 60° and note the corresponding angles of refraction.
i r Sin i Sin r Sin i/Sin r
20°
30°
40°
50°
60°
Observation:
Find sin i, sin r for every i and r note down the values in table.
Evaluate sin i /sin r for every incident angle i. We get sin i /sin r as
constant. The ratio of sin i and sin r is called refractive index.
31) Ohm’s law: The potential difference
between the ends of a conductor is
directly proportional to the electric
current passing through it at constant
temperature.
V ∝ I ⇒ V/I = constant

Verification:
Aim: To verify Ohm‟s law or to show that V/I = constant for a
conductor.
Materials required: 6V Battery eliminator, 0 to 1A Ammeter, 0 – 6V
volt meter, copper wires, 50 cm manganin coil, Rheostat, switch and
3V LED, etc.
Procedure:
1. Complete the circuit as shown in figure.
2. Knob should be adjusted to 4.5V at battery.
3. Using Rheostat change the potential difference between two ends of
manganin wire from 0V to 4.5V.
4. By using Rheostat adjust the potential difference 1V between two
ends of manganin wire.
5. Now observe the electric current through Ammeter in the circuit and
note down in the following table.
6. Using Rheostat change the
potential difference with different
values up to 4.5V and note down
the current value (I) in the table.
7. Take at least five values of V and I
and note down in the table and
find V/I for each set of values.
8. We notice that V/I is a constant. V ∝ I ⇒ V/I = constant
Conclusion:
From this experiment we can conclude that the potential difference
between the ends of the manganin wire is directly proportional to the
current passing through it.
Hence, Ohm‟s law is verified.

32)
1. “A” cannot form ionic bond. Its valence electrons are 4. It is
difficult to lose or gain 4e- to get octet configuration. So it forms
covalent bond. [Z of A is 6 so ti is carbon (C)]
2. “B” cannot form covalent bond. Its valence electrons are 1 only. So
it is easy to donate for other atom and become anion. So it can
form ionic bond. [Z of B is 11. So it is sodium (Na)]
33) i) Object is placed at 2F2:
Nature: Real, inverted and same size.

Position: Image is formed on the principal axis at 2F1.
ii) Object is placed beyond 2F2

hotter air just above the road.
4) Light travels faster through the thinner hot air than the denser
cool air above it.
5) On hot days, the temperature decreases with height. Thus the
refractive index of air increases with height.
6) When the light from a tall object such as tree or from the sky
passes, through a medium just above the road whose refractive
index decreases towards ground, suffers refraction and takes a
path because of total internal reflection.

7) This refracted light reaches

the observer in a direction
shown as in second figure.
8) This appears to the observer
that the ray is reflected from
ground.
9) Hence we will see water on
road, which is the virtual
image of sky and an inverted
image of tree on the road.
10) Such virtual images of distant high objects cause the optical
illusion called „mirage‟.
29. 1) That defect is Myopia.
2) Explanation:
1. Some people cannot see objects at long distances but can see
nearby objects clearly. This type of vision defect is called myopia
(near sightedness).
2. In this case, the eye lens can form an image in front of the
retina.
3. Myopia is corrected by using a concave lens of focal length equal
to the distance of the far point F from the eye.
4. This lens diverges the parallel rays from distant object as if they
are coming from the far point.
5. Finally the eye lens forms a clear image at the retina.

i) Roasting: Roasting is a pyrochemical process in which the ore is
heated in the presence of oxygen or air, below its melting point.
Generally, Reverberatory furnace is used for roasting.
Ex: Zinc blende on heating with oxygen in Reverberatory furnace
forms zinc oxide as solid and berating
Sulphur dioxide as gas.
2ZnS(s) + 3O2(g) → 2ZnO(s) + 2SO2(g)
ii) Calcination: Calcination is a pyrochemical process in which the
ore is heated in the absence of air.
The ore gets generally decomposed in this process.
Ex: MgCO3(s) → MgO(s) + CO2(g)
iii) Smelting: Smelting is a pyrochemical process, in which the ore
is mixed with flux and fuel, then is strongly heated.
31. (i) Required apparatus: Calorimeter, stirrer, Thermometer,
water, steam heater, wooden box and lead shots.
(ii) Experimental procedure:
1) Measure the mass (m1) of the calorimeter along with stirrer.
2) Now fill one third of the volume of calorimeter with water and
measure the mass (m2)
3) Mass of the water inside the calorimeter = (m2 – m1)
4) Note the temperature (T1) of the water inside the calorimeter and
the calorimeter.
5) Place few lead shots in hot water or steam heater and heat up to
1000C (T2)
6) Transfer the hot lead shots quickly into the calorimeter.
7) Measure the temperature (T3) of the mixture after settles to a
certain temperature.
8) Measure the mass (m3) of the calorimeter along with contents.
9) Then the mass of the lead shots = (m3 – m2)
10) According to the principle of method of mixtures, the heat lost
by the lead shots (solid) is equal to the heat gained by the
calorimeter and water.
Heat lost by the Lead shots = Heat gain by the calorimeter + Heat
gain by the water

the solid (Lead shots)

31. (i) Ohm, German Physicist established “the ratio between V and
I is constant for some materials at constant temperature”.
(ii) Proof of the above statement:
Ohm’s law: The potential difference between the ends of a
conductor is directly proportional to the electric current passing
through it at constant temperature.
Verification:
Aim: To verify Ohm‟s law or to show that V/I = constant for a
conductor.
Materials required: 6V Battery eliminator, 0 to 1A Ammeter,
0–6V volt meter, copper wires, 50 cm manganin coil, Rheostat,
switch and 3V LED, etc.
Procedure:
1. Complete the circuit as shown in
figure.
2. Knob should be adjusted to 4.5V at
battery.
3. Using Rheostat change the potential
difference between two ends of
manganin wire from 0V to 4.5V.
4. By using Rheostat adjust the potential difference 1V between
two ends of manganin wire.
5. Now observe the electric current through Ammeter in the
circuit and note down in the following table.
6. Using Rheostat change the potential difference with different
values up to 4.5V and note down the current value (I) in the
table.
7. Take at least five values of V and I and note down in the table
and find V/I for each set of values.
8. We notice that V/I is a constant.

Graph:
1. Draw a graph between V and I taking the
current (I) along y-axis and potential
difference (V) along x-axis with
appropriate scale.
2. We will get a straight line graph passing through the origin as
shown in figure.
Conclusion:
From this experiment we can conclude that the potential difference
between the ends of the manganin wire is directly proportional to
the current passing through it.
Hence, Ohm‟s law is verified or the given statement is proved.

2. Ground state electronic configuration of „B‟ is,
3. Excited state electronic configuration of „B‟ is,
4.Now in excited state the three unpaired orbitals undergo

hybridization giving rise to three sp2 hybrid orbitals which are
1200 apart.
5.The three hybrid orbitals overlap with three p-orbitals from
three Fluorine atoms forming three sigma bonds.

31. List of the material required: 1. Glucose, 2. Alcohol, 3. Dil.

HCl, 4. Dil-H2SO4, 5. Beaker, 6. Connecting wires, 7. 230
voltage AC supply, 8. Bulb, 9. Graphite rods, 10. Water.
Experimental Procedure:
1. Prepare glucose, alcohol, hydrochloric acid and sulphuric acid
solutions.
2. Connect two different coloured electrical wires to graphite rods
separately as shown in figure.
3. Connect free ends of the wire to 230 volts AC plug.

4. Complete the circuit as shown in the figure by connecting a

bulb to one of the wires.
5. Now pour some dilute HCl in the beaker and switch on the
current.
Observation:
1. We will notice that the bulb glows
only in acid solutions.
2. But the bulb does not glow in glucose
and alcohol solutions.
Conclusion:
1. In glucose and alcohol solution the
bulb did not glow indicating the
absence of H+ ions in these solutions.
So, as they contain hydrogen, they
are not categorized as acids.
2. The acidity of acids is attributed to
the H+ ions produced by them in
solutions.
31. Aim: To prove that the presence of air and water is essential for
corrosion or for rusting of iron articles.
Apparatus: 3 boiled test tubes, 3 corks, boiled distilled water,
anhydrous calcium chloride, clean iron nails.
Procedure:
1. Take three test tubes and place
clean iron nails in each of them.
2. Label these test tubes A, B and C.
Pour some water in test tube A
and cork it.
3. Pour boiled distilled water in test
tube B, add about 1 ml of oil and
cork it. The oil will float on water
and prevent the air from
dissolving in the water.
4. Put some anhydrous calcium
chloride in test tube C and cork it.
Anhydrous calcium chloride will
absorb the moisture.
5. Leave these test tubes for a few days and then observe.
6. We will observe that iron nails rust in test tube A, but they
do not rust in test tubes B and C.

Observation:
1. In test tube A, the nails are exposed to air and water. Hence,
the nails rusted.
2. In test tube B, the nails are exposed only to water, but not to
air, because the oil float on water and prevent the air from
dissolving in the water. Hence, the nails are not rusted.
3. In test tube C, the nails are exposed to dry air, because
anhydrous calcium chloride will absorb the moisture, if any,
from the air. Hence, the nails are not rusted.
Conclusion:
From this experiment, we proved that air and water are
essential for corrosion.

Aim: The rate of evaporation of liquid depends on its surface area
and vapour already present in surrounding air.
Apparatus: China/petri dishes, test tube, spirit.
Procedure:
I. Showing evaporation depends on surface area:
1. Take 10 ml of spirit in a china dish and a test tube.
2. Keep them in outside air and observe.
3. We note that the spirit in the china dish evaporates fastly
compared to the test tube.
4. So, evaporation is surface phenomenon. The rate of
evaporation increases with Increase of surface area.
II. Showing evaporation depends on vapour (Humidity):
1. Take 1 ml of spirit in two Petri dishes.
2. Keep one of the dishes in the outside the class room (hot air)
and other in the closed class room (cool air-more humid)
3. After some time, the volume of spirit remained in the dish kept
outside the class room is less than that of in the closed class
room.
4. So, if the vapour (humidity) already present in the air is more,
rate of evaporation is less.

29. (b)
1. In the above figure, the resistors are connected in series and

there is only one path for the flow of current in the circuit.
2. Hence, the current in the circuit is equal to I.
3. According to Ohm‟s law, at resistance R,
Potential at R (V) = Current through R (I) x Resistance (R)
Potential difference across R1 is, V1 = IR1………… (1)
4. Let Req is the equivalent resistance of the combination of
resistors in series.
5. If the current drawn by a resistor is equal to the current drawn
by the combination of resistors then the resistor is called as
equivalent resistor (provided the source in the circuit is
constant).
So, we have V = I Req………… (4)
6. The resultant potential is equal to the sum of the potentials at

each resistor.
Therefore, V = V1 + V2 + V3....... (5)

Substituting the values of V1, V2, V3 and V in the equation (5), we

get, IReq = IR1 + IR2 + IR3
IReq = I (R1 + R2 + R3)
Req = R1 + R2 + R3
7. From the above equation we can conclude that the sum of
individual resistances is equal to their equivalent resistance
when the resistors are connected in series.
8. So, the equivalent resistance of a series combination is greater
than the resistance of each of the resistors.

21. (1) Heat energy transmits daily from sun to earth.
(2) Oceans can absorb large amounts of heat at the equator
without appreciable rise in temperature due to high
specific heat of water.
(3) Therefore, oceans moderate the surrounding temperature
near the equator.
(4) Ocean water transports the heat away from the equator to
areas closer to the north and south poles to moderate the
climates in parts of the earth that are far from the equator.
So oceans behave like heat “store houses” for the earth.
22. 1) Acids: B; Bases: A, C
2) Colourless
23. 1) Required material: China/petri dishes, test tube, spirit
2) Precaution: Care should be taken while using spirit.
24. Given that power of lens P = 2D
Using, P = 100/f (in cm)
⇒ 2 = 100/f ⇒ f = 100/2 = 50 cm.
The focal length of the lens (f) = 50 cm.
25. Hund's Rule: Electron pairing in orbitals starts only when all
available empty orbitals of the same energy are shingly
occupied.
Ex: The carbon - 6 - 1s22s22p2. The first 4 electrons go into the
1s and 2s orbitals. The next two electrons go into separate 2p
orbitals, with both electrons having the same spin.
26. 1) Water molecule shape: „V‟ shape or bent shape or angular

2) Ammonia molecule shape: Trigonal pyramidal
27. 1. A fuse wire is a thin wire made up of a high resistance
material and has low melting point.
2. The fuse wire should be connected in series with electrical
device. So, the entire current from mains must pass through
the fuse.
3. When the current in the fuse overloaded, the wire get heated
and melted. Then, the circuit becomes open and prevents the
flow of current. Hence, all the electrical appliances are saved
from damage that could be caused by overload.
4. So, if we are not use fuse at our homes, we cannot preventing
damage to various electrical appliances.
28. 1) What is concentration of ore?
2) What are the different methods used in the process of
concentration of ore?
29. a) 1. In hot summer days the body of the dogs gets heated.
2. Dogs don‟t have sweat glands like us (human beings).
3. By panting, the water on the tongue evaporated.
4. As evaporation is a cooling process, dogs reduce their body
temperature. So, dogs pant during hot summer days and get
their body cooled, due to evaporation.
b) 1. The temperature of a cold soft drink bottle taken from the
fridge is very less.
2. The water vapor molecules present in the air collide with the
surface of the cold soft drink bottle loses their kinetic energy,
that leads to lower their temperature and form as water
droplets (dew) by condensation. By this reason, we get dew on
the surface of a cold soft drink bottle kept in open air.
Or
Differences between myopia and hypermetropia:
Myopia Hypermetropia
1. Some people cannot see 1. Some people can see the
objects at long distances but distant objects clearly but
can see nearby objects cannot see objects at near
clearly. This type of defect in distances. This type of vision
vision is called „Myopia‟. defect is called hypermetropia.
2. It is also called as near 2. It is also called far
sightedness sightedness
3. To correct this we use bi- 3. To correct this we use bi-
concave lens convex lens.

1) B (NaHCO3)
2) C (Na2CO3)
3) A (CaOCl2)
4) D (CaSO4. ½ H2O)
or
High reactivity metals:Na (Sodium),Mg (Magnesium),K (Potassium)
Moderate reactivity metals: Fe (Iron), Pb (Lead)
Low reactivity metals: Ag (Silver), Au (Gold), Hg (Mercury)
30. Aim: To find the refractive index of the prism.
Material required: Prism, Piece of white chart, pencil, pens,
scale and protractor.
Procedure:
1. Take a prism, place it on the white
chart and draw the boundary lines
by using a pencil.
2. Remove the prism and name the
vertices as P, Q and R.
3. Calculate the angle of the prism
(A=600) and noted in your book.
4. Draw a normal to PQ at M and draw
a line with 300 to the normal.
5. This is incident ray AB. Fix two ball pins on this ray at A and
B.
6. Place the prism in its exact position and fix another two pins
at C and D such that all four pins appear to lie along the same
line by seeing the images of pins through the prism from the
other side PR.
7. Draw line joining C & D and extend it to meet PR at N. This is
emergent ray. Draw normal at PR at N and measure the angle
between normal at N and emergent ray.
8. If we extent the incident ray AB and emergent ray CD, they
meet at O and measure angle between these two rays and
note as angle of deviation (d). The same experiment repeated
for different angles of incidence and measure corresponding
angle of deviation and noted down in the following table.
S. Angle of Angle of Angle of deviation
No. incidence (i1) emergence (i2) (d)
1 300
2 400
3 500

9. We draw a graph by taking angles of

incident on X-axis and angles of
deviation (d) on y-axis, then we gets a
curved line as shown in the figure. By
graph, find angle of minimum
deviation (D).
10. Now we can calculate the refractive
index of the material of the prism by
using the formula,
𝐴 +𝐷
𝑆𝑖𝑛 ( )
2
n= 𝐴
𝑆𝑖𝑛 ( )
2
or
1. Take 800C water in a large jar.
2. Take two test tubes, one filled with
50 g of water and other with 50 g of
oil.
3. Insert two thermometers into two test
tubes, with corks and place them in
the hot water jar with clamp of a
retort stand.
4. Observe the changes in the
thermometer readings.
5. Although, the same amount of heat supplied to water and oil,
we observe, the rate of rise in temperature of the oil is higher
than that of the rise in temperature of the water.
6. The rate of rise in temperature depends on the nature of the
substance.
31.
1. Nuclear charge: More the nuclear charge more is the ionization
energy.
Ex: Between 11Na and 17Cl, Chlorine atom has more ionization
energy.
2. Shielding effect or Screening effect: More the screening effect
less is the ionization energy.
Ex: Between 3Li and 55Cs, the element 55Cs with more inner
shells has less ionization energy.
3. Penetration power of the orbitals: Orbitals belonging to the
same main shell have different piercing power
towards the nucleus.

Ex: 4s > 4p > 4d > 4f in the penetration. Therefore, it is easier

to remove 4f electron than 4s.
4. Stable configuration: It is easier to remove one electron from
8O (1s22s22p4) than 7N (1s22s22p3). This is because,
7N has stable half filled configuration.
or
1) „A‟ can‟t form double bond. Because, it has only one unpaired
electron in its outermost shell. (A- Hydrogen)
2) „C‟ can‟t form triple bond and can form double bond. Because,
it has two unpaired electrons in its outermost shell.
(C- Oxygen)
3) „B‟ can form double as well as triple bonds. (B- Carbon)
32. 1) 2) 3) 4)
Or
The method used for concentration of ore, in which the ore or
impurity, one of them is magnetic substance and the other non-
magnetic substance is Magnetic separation.
