Question 3
What is photochemical reaction?
Solution 3
The chemical reactions which occur with the absorption of light energy are called photochemical reactions.
Examples-
Decomposition of silver nitrate takes place in the presence of light.

Question 4
How can you prove experimentally that magnesium gains weight on burning in air?
Solution 4
As the burning substance combines with oxygen ,the total mass of the products should be greater than that of the burning substance. For example,when,magnesium is burnt,a new substance magnesium oxide is formed,whose weight is greater than that of the original magnesium.
Experiment - A crucible is weighed containing about 0.5 gm of magnesium.Now crucible is heated.When magnesium begins to burn,the lid is put back on the crucible and the lid is occasionally raised to allow air to enter and burn the magnesium such that no product is lost..When,all the magnesium has been burnt up, the crucible is allowed to cool and then on weighing it  we observe that there is gain in weight.

Question 3
Oxidation and reduction go hand in hand. Explain.
Solution 3
When oxidation occurs there is a loss of electrons but simultaneously there is a gain of electrons by other species which is called reduction. These both process occur simultaneously so we can say that both oxidation and reduction go hand in hand and such reactions are known as redox reaction.
Question 4

Frank Solutions Icse Class 9 Chemistry Chapter - Physical And Chemical Changes
Solution 4
(a) Copper is oxidized to copper sulphate while sulphur in sulphuric acid is reduced to sulphur dioxide.

Question 7
As a candle burns, first the physical change then chemical change takes place. Explain.
Solution 7
A candle is a stick of paraffin wax with cotton wick.As a candle burns wax melts and trickles down. It gets solidified shortly. This is physical change. Paraffin wax is a mixture of hydrocarbons. When wick catches fire, paraffin wax melts, evaporates and burns in air like any hydrocarbon to give carbon dioxide and water. This is a chemical change.

Question 13
Show that a physical change can easily be reversed.
Solution 13
On heating few crystals of iodine in a test tube, the grey crystals sublimes and dense violet fumes are seen. On cooling, the vapours again form the crystals. So, a physical change can be reversed.
Question 14
When hydrogen burns in air, the change is chemical. Give two reasons to support this assertion.
Solution 14
Frank Solutions Icse Class 9 Chemistry Chapter - Physical And Chemical Changes


Question 15
Freezing of water to ice and evaporation of water are both physical change. Explain.
Solution 15
When water is freezed and evaporated, these both are physical changes because-
(i) The change is temporary and reversible.
(ii) No new substance is formed and the chemical composition of the original substance remains the same.
(iii) Mass of the substance remains unchanged
(iv) The amount of energy required to bring about a physical change is generally equal to the amount of energy required to reverse the change. Hence,there is no net energy change involved.
Question 16
What is synthesis? What kind of chemical reaction is synthesis? Support your answer by an example?
Solution 16
Frank Solutions Icse Class 9 Chemistry Chapter - Physical And Chemical Changes


Question 17
Air is necessary for burning, comment.
Solution 17
Air is necessary for burning. Incorrect amount of air in fuel combustion accounts for the largest losses in combustion system. If the fuel does not get enough air for combustion it will generate smoke and a potentially unhealthy mixture of gas products.
Question 18
(a) What are combustible and non-combustible substances?
(b) Name two substances other than oxygen that support combustion.
Solution 18
(a) Combustible substances -The substances that catch fire and burn easily. Ex-Wood, Charcoal, petrol, kerosene etc.
 Non-combustible substances-Substance which cannot burn in air or oxygen are called as non- combustible substances. Ex-Nitrogen gas, carbon dioxide etc.
(b) Two substances other than oxygen that support combustion are-
(i) Hydrogen
(ii) Nitrogen


Question 19
State two important processes, which:
(a) release CO2 into the atmosphere.
(b) remove CO2 from the atmosphere.
Solution 19
(a) (i) Burning of coal in air releases CO2 in air.
(ii) Respiration releases carbon dioxide and water vapours.
(b) (i) Photosynthesis removes CO2 from the atmosphere. Plants take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in the presence of sunlight and use it to synthesise glucose with the liberation of oxygen.
(ii) Some man made chemical activities such as setting of mortar also use atmospheric carbon dioxide and helps in removing carbon dioxide.
Question 20
What would be the effect on burning if the proportions of nitrogen and oxygen in the air were reversed?
Solution 20
Nitrogen is inert in nature and does not support combustion while oxygen supports combustion.If proportions of nitrogen and oxygen in the air were reversed then the rate of combustion of substances will increase.


Question 21
Give an experiment to show a physical change?
Solution 21
Heating of sulphur-
If some powdered sulphur is heated gently in a glass test tube, it melts to a pale yellow liquid. Flame is removed to stop heating, it is quickly changed back to solid sulphur.

Chapter 5 - Physical and chemical changes Exercise 76

Question 1
What is activity series? What is the role it plays in displacement reactions?
Solution 1
Activity series - The arrangement of the metals in the decreasing order of their chemical reactivity is called the activity series.
   In displacement reactions, a more reactive element (metal or non-metal) displaces a lesser reactive element from its compound. With the help of the activity series, it is possible to predict which metals will displace other metals from their solutions.
Question 2
How the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide is maintained in nature?
Solution 2
Balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide is maintained in nature because there is a natural oxygen cycle and a natural carbon cycle operating all the time by which the desired proportions of the two gases in the air are maintained. This is also known as carbon dioxide-oxygen cycle.

Question 4
Write short note on carbon dioxide cycle.
Solution 4
Carbon dioxide from the atmosphere enters the plant through photosynthesis, where carbohydrates are produced. From green plants, the carbon in the form of carbohydrates, etc. enter the animal and human bodies. The atmospheric carbon dioxide gets dissolved in oceans by diffusion. Marine algae and photosynthetic bacteria obtain carbon dioxide from water.
Carbon dioxide returns to the atmosphere by respiration, combustion of fossil fuels like coal, wood, petroleum etc., weathering of rocks, volcanic eruptions etc.
