(b)False
Correct statement: Formation of manure from leaves is a chemical change.
(c) True
(d)False
Correct statement: Iron and rust are two different chemical substances.
(e)True
[Link] in the blanks in the following statements:
(a) When carbon dioxide is passed through lime water, it turns milky due to the formation of .
(b) The chemical name of baking soda is .
(c) Two methods by which rusting of iron can be prevented are __________ and __________
(d) Changes in which only ____________ properties of a substance change are called physical
changes.
(e) Changes in which new substances are formed are called _____________ changes..

Q.4. When baking soda is mixed with lemon juice, bubbles are formed with the evolution of a gas.
What type of change is it? Explain.
Ans. The reaction between baking soda and lemon juice can be given as below:
Lemon juice + Baking soda ————-> C02 (bubbles) + Other substances
(Citric acid) (Sodium hydrogen carbonate) (Carbon dioxide)
It is a chemical change
Q.5. When a candle burns, both physical and chemical changes take place. Identify these changes.
Give another example of a familiar process in which both the chemical and physical changes take
place.
Ans. When a candle burns, both physical and chemical changes occur:
(i) Physical change: melting of wax, vapourisation of melted wax.
(ii) Chemical change: Burning of vapours of wax to give carbon dioxide, heat and light.
LPG is another example in which physical change occurs when LPG comes out of cylinder and is
converted from liquid to gaseous state and a chemical change occurs when gas burns in air.
Q.6. How would you show that setting of a curd is a chemical change?
Ans. We can say that setting of curd is a chemical change because we cannot get the original
substance, i.e., milk back and a new substance is formed with different taste, smell and other chemical
properties
Q.7. Explain why burning of wood and cutting it into small pieces are considered as two different
types of changes. ~
Ans. Burning of wood is a chemical change because in burning new substances are formed as
Wood + Oxygen ———–> Charcoal + Carbon dioxide + Heat + Light
But cutting it into small pieces is physical change because no new substance is formed. We can only
reduce the size
