Q1. Magnification produced by a rear-view mirror fitted in vehicles
(a) Is less than one
(b) Is more than one
(c) Is equal to one
(d) Can be more than or less than one depending upon the position of the object in front of
it.
Q2. In torches, searchlights and headlights of vehicles, the bulb is placed
(a) Between the pole and the focus of the reflector.
(b) Very near to the focus of the reflector.
(c) Between the focus and center of curvature of the reflector.
(d) At the center of curvature of the reflector.
Q3. You are provided with an unlabeled white powder. When this powder is heated strongly, a
gas is evolved that turns limewater milky. The remaining solid is yellow when hot and
turns white on cooling.
Based on these observations, the original white powder is most likely:
(a) Calcium carbonate
(b) Zinc carbonate
(c) Lead nitrate
(d) Sodium bicarbonate
Q4.
A clean iron nail is placed in a solution of copper sulfate for about 20 minutes. After this
time, the student observes the following changes:
1. The blue color of the copper sulfate solution fades.
2. A reddish-brown deposit appears on the iron nail.
Based on these observations, which of the following statements is FALSE?
(a) Iron is more reactive than copper.
(b) This is an example of a displacement reaction.
(c)Copper is being oxidized in this reaction.
(d) The chemical formula of the reddish-brown deposit is Cu
Q5. In an experiment a plant is kept in a closed container with a CO2 sensor. Light is switched
off .What change will the sensor show?
(a)Increase in CO2 due to photosynthesis
1
(b)Decrease in CO2 due to Respiration
(c)No change in CO2 concentration
(d)Content of O2 increases
Q6. Assertion-Bile juice emulsify fats but do not digest it
Reason-Bile lack enzymes but increase the surface area of enzyme action
(a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true, and R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true, but R is false.
(d) A is false, but R is true.
Q7. Assertion (A): Pungent smelling gas is produced when sulphur burns in air.
Reason (R): Sulphur trioxide is formed on reaction of sulphur with oxygen.
(a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true, and R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true, but R is false.
(d) A is false, but R is true.
Q8. You might have noted that when copper powder is heated in a china dish, the surface of
copper powder becomes coated with a black colour substance.
(a) Identify the black substance and explain how this black coloured substance has formed.
(b) Write the chemical equation of the reaction that takes place.
Q9. When a solution of silver nitrate is added to a solution of sodium chloride, a white
precipitate forms.
(a) Write the balanced chemical equation
(b) Identify the type of reaction.
Q10. A 10 cm long pencil is placed 5 cm in front of a concave mirror having a radius of
curvature of 40 cm
(i) Determine the position of the image formed by this mirror.
(ii) What is the size of the image?
(iii) Draw a ray diagram to show the formation of the image as mentioned in the part (i).
Q11. Give a reason why?
(a)Veins have valves but arteries do not
(b)Amphibians or many reptiles have three-chambered hearts, and tolerate some mixing of
the oxygenated and de-oxygenated blood.
(c)The rate of breathing in aquatic organisms is much faster than that seen in terrestrial
organisms
Q12. Observe the picture and answer the following questions:
2
(a) What colour change is observed when silver chloride is placed in sunlight for some
time?
(b) Which form of energy is causing this type of reaction? Give another example of this
type of reaction.
(c) Write a balanced equation for this reaction.
Q13. The curved surface of a spoon can be considered as a spherical mirror. A highly smooth
polished surface is called mirror. The mirror whose reflecting surface is curved inwards or
outwards is called a spherical mirror. Inner part works as a concave mirror and the outer
bulging part acts as a convex mirror. The center of the reflecting surface of a mirror is
called pole and the radius of the sphere of which the mirror is formed is called radius of
curvature.
(a) When a concave mirror is held towards the sun and its sharp image is formed on a piece of
carbon paper for some time, a hole is burnt in the carbon paper. What is the name given to
the distance between the mirror and carbon paper?
(i) Radius of curvature
(ii) Focal length
(iii) Principal focus
(iv) Principal axis
(b) When a concave mirror is placed facing the Sun, the Sun’s rays converge to a point 10 cm
from the mirror. Now, if you place a 2 cm long candle flame 20 cm away on the principal
axis of the mirror, where would you place a screen to obtain the image of the candle? What
would be the size of the image? Draw a ray diagram to justify your answer
3
(c) Consider the following diagram in which M is a mirror and P is an object and Q is its
magnified image formed by the mirror. State the type of the mirror M and one
characteristic property of the image Q.
Q14.
[Link] the diagram given above and identify the following by labelling the various
parts
a. Balloon shaped structure
b. Structure that ensure that the passage of air does not collapse
c. Part which helps in voice production
d. Muscle at the base of chest cavity
Q2. Explain the role of ribs and diaphragm during inhalation and exhalation
[Link] of tobacco most commonly affects the tongue, lungs, heart and liver. How does
smokeless tobacco pose a risk factor for human health?
