Q.2 (A) Give reasons:(Any Two) 4
(1) Ans. 1. Atomic radius goes on increasing down a group because while going down a group a new shell is
added.
2. Therefore the distance between the outermost electron and the nucleus goes on increasing.
3. As a result of this the atomic size increases in spite of the increased nuclear charge.
(2) Ans. 1. Weight change from place to place because it is a strong function of gravity.
2. Like altitude, latitudes and even the spinning of our planet may vary acceleration due to gravity at
different places on earth.
3. Other reason for variation of weight across the earth's surface are rotation of the earth.
4. Altitude and local topography.
(3) Ans. i. The velocity of light in a medium depends on the frequency of light and thus different colours
travel with different velocity.
ii. Therefore, the refractive index of a medium is different for different colours. It is maximum for
 violet light and minimum for red light.
iii. The angle of deviation of ray of light on passing through a prism depends on the refractive index
of the material of the prism. Hence, violet light is deviated the most and red light is deviated the
least on passing through a prism.
(B) Answer the following:(Any Three) 6
(1) Ans. Given :
s=5m
u = 0 m/s
t=5s
g =?
s= ut + ½ gt²
5=0X5+½gx5x5
g = 10 / 25 = 0.4 m/s²
The value of g on the planet is 0.4 m/s².
(2) Ans.

(3) Ans.

(4) Ans. 1. The heat of an object is the total energy of all the molecular motion inside that object.
2. Temperature, on the other hand, is a measure of the average heat or thermal energy of the
molecules in a substance.
(5) Ans. (i) The values of 'n' for the shells K, L and M are 1, 2, 3.
(ii) 2n²
Q.3 Answer the following:(Any Five) 15
(1) Ans. 1. When oxidation and reduction take place simultaneously then reaction is called as redox reaction.
2. When hydrogen gas is passed over black copper oxide a reddish coloured layer of copper is
formed.
CuO + H₂ → Cu + H₂O
3. In this reaction an oxygen atom goes away from CuO, which means that reduction of copper
oxide takes place, whereas hydrogen molecule takes up oxygen atom and water is formed means
oxidation of hydrogen takes place. Thus oxidation and reduction reactions occur simultaneously.
(2) Ans. 1. Space debris are the remains of artificial satellites, asteroids, comets, other heavenly bodies, non-
functional satellites, parts of the launcher detached during launching and debris generated due to
collision of satellite with other satellite or any other object in the space.
2. There is a need for its management because this debris can be harmful to the artificial satellites. It
can collide with these satellites or space crafts and damage them. This debris is increasing day by
 day. Soon, it will be difficult to launch new spacecrafts. It is, therefore, very essential to manage the
debris.
(3) Ans.

(4) Ans. 1. The elements are sodium and magnesium respectively.

2. In the reactivity series, since sodium is placed before magnesium, sodium is more reactive than
magnesium.
3. When sodium reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid to give sodium chloride and hydrogen gas is
liberated.
2Na(s) + 2HCl (aq) → 2NaCl (aq) + H₂ (g)
4. When Magnesium reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid to give magnesium chloride and hydrogen
gas is liberated.
Mg(s) + 2HCl (aq) → MgCl₂ (aq) + H₂ (g)
(5) Ans. (a) A hydrocarbon is an organic chemical compound composed exclusively of
(b) hydrogen and carbon atoms. Hydrocarbons are naturally-occurring compounds and form the
basis of crude oil, natural gas, coal, and other important energy sources.
(b) Saturated and Unsaturated
(c) 1. Ethanol: C2H5OH is the type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages and is also known as
ethyl alcohol. An alcohol is a certain type of carbon molecule with one or more hydroxyl (-OH)
groups; other common alcohols are isopropanol or isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) and methanol
(wood alcohol).
2. Glucose: C6H12O6 is the carbon molecule that is ultimately extracted from food before entering
your body's cells. It is a component of sucrose (table sugar), which consists of one glucose molecule
joined to a fructose (fruit sugar) molecule. People with diabetes measure their blood glucose levels
regularly with electronic sampling equipment.
(6) Ans.

(7) Ans. Mass of Ice = 2 kg = 2000 g

Thus, Mass of water at 20°C = 2 kg.
Specific Heat Capacity of Water = 1Cal /g °C

Change in temperature (Δt) = (20 - 0)

= 20 °C

Thus, Amount of heat energy required to convert water at 20° to 0° C

= mass × Specific Heat Capacity × Change in temperature
= 2000 × 1 × 20
 = 40000 cal

Latent Heat of Fusion of Ice = 80 cal/g.

Amount of Heat Energy Required to convert water into ice at 0°

= mass × Latent Heat of Fusion
= 2000 × 80
= 160000 cal

Thus, Total Heat Energy = 160000 + 40000

= 200000 cal.

Let the Mass of the Ammonia be m g.

We know the Latent heat of Vaporization of Ammonia = 341 cal/g.

By the Principle of Calorimetry,

Heat Given By m g of ammonia in Vaporization = Heat taken by the Water to change into Ice.
⇒ m × 341 = 200000
⇒ m = 200000/341
⇒ m = 586.51 gm
Thus, the mass of the ammonia required is 586.51 grams.
(8) Ans. (a) Displacement reaction
(b) oxidation reaction
(c) Decomposition reaction
Q.4 Answer the following:(Any One) 5
(1) Ans. a. Electric generator
b. Fleming's right hand rule
c. Generators do not create electricity instead it uses the mechanical energy supplied to it to force the
movement of electric charges present in the wire of its windings through an external electric circuit.
This flow of electrons constitutes the output electric current supplied by the generator.
d. To produce electric current
(2) Ans. a) The process of separation of light into its component colours while passing through a medium is
called the dispersion of light.
b) Dispersion, Total internal reflection, Refraction.
c) Violet and Red respectively.
d) small prisms
