(a) corrosion and it is a physical as well as chemical change
(b) dissolution and it is a physical change
(c) corrosion and it is a chemical change
d) dissolution and it is a chemical change
Show Answer
Answer
Answer is c corrosion and it is a chemical change.
Explanation :
Rusting of iron is corrosion and it’s a chemical change because rust is a chemical compound called hydrate iron oxide
Physical changes are those changes in which substance identity is not changed and it can get back to its original form ex: water freezing to ice can be melted back to water. Whereas chemical changes are those in which original substance identity is changed and they cannot be restored to their original form.
On adding solid solute is to the solvent, some solute dissolves and its concentration increases in solution. This process is known as dissolution.
Crystallization is a process in which Solute particles in solution collide with the solid solute particles to get separated out of solution.
(a) heterogeneous and shows Tyndall effect
(b) homogeneous and shows Tyndall effect
(c) heterogeneous and does not show Tyndall effect
(d) homogeneous and does not show Tyndall effect
Show Answer
Answer
A mixture of sulphur and carbon disulphide is a heterogeneous colloid and shows Tyndall effect. In a colloidal solution, the particles are big enough to scatter light. The scattering of light by colloidal particles is known as Tyndall effect. Colloids are actually heterogeneous in nature though they appear to be homogeneous.
Answer is a) heterogeneous and shows Tyndall effect.
Explanation:
A mixture of sulphur and carbon disulphide is heterogeneous and shows Tyndall effect because in a colloidal solution the particles are big enough to scatter light.

(c) Common salt, water and sand
(d) Kerosene oil, water and salt
Show Answer
Answer
Answers are a) decantation b) Sublimation c) Filtration and evaporation d) decantation
Explanation :
a) Decantation method is used to separate the mixture of Mercury and water. Here Mercury is heavier than water hence it forms a separate layer which can be easily separated in separating funnel.

Show Answer
Answer
Fractional column is the most important of fractional distillation apparatus. It is provided with glass beads in it. This column helps to obstruct the upward movement of the vapours of the two liquids. The vapours of high boiling liquid gets condensed earlier at lower level. Latent heat released helps to take the vapours of low boiling liquid to a height in the fractionating column.

(b) Same results were not observed with a salt solution. Explain.
(c) Can you suggest two more solutions which would show the same effect as shown by the milk solution?
Show Answer
Answer
(a) Milk is a colloidal substance. Particulate matter present in the milk make the light scatter which results in Tyndall effect. Because of Tyndall effect the milk got illuminated.
(b) Salt is a homogenous solution. Small particles present in salt solution do not scatter light rays hence there will be no Tyndall effect. Since salt solution did not exhibit Tyndall effect light is not illuminated.
(c) Detergent solution and sulphur solution exhibit Tyndall effect.

Show Answer
Answer
a) Drying of shirt in the sun is a physical phenomenon because there are no chemical reaction or any chemical changed involved in this process.
b) Rising of hot air over radiator is a physical change. Water in a radiator converts to vapours. Hot air becomes lighter and rises.
c) Burning of kerosene in a lantern is a chemical change because kerosene burns by using atmospheric oxygen and produces carbon dioxide. d) Change in the colour of black tea on adding lemon juice to it is a chemical change. Lemon juice is a source of citric acid, ascorbic acid and malic acid. This acid reacts Flavin antioxidants present in black tea to change colour of the tea.
