CLASS:X. SCIENCE WORKSHEET
CHEMISTRY
[Link] plants develop blue or pink flowers depending on the availability ofaluminium
from the soil. When the soil is acidic, aluminium is more available tothe roots, resulting in blue
flowers. When the soil is alkaline, the availability of aluminium decreases, resulting in pink
[Link] graph below is of the pH of the soil at different sections of a field.
In which section of the field will the flowers on ALL the hydrangea plants definitely be blue in
colour and in which section will the flowers on ALL thehydrangea plants definitely be pink in
colour?
A.W B. X C. Y D. Z
2 An excess of carbon dioxide gas is bubbled through lime water.
(a) Will the pH of lime water change? If yes, how? Explain your answer.
(b) Write the balanced equation for the reaction.
[Link] takes 500 mL milk each in two bowls P and Q. She adds curd to both the bowls and
baking soda only to bowl Q as shown below.
(a) Bowl P - 500 mL milk + 1 teaspoon curd
(b) Bowl Q - 500 mL milk + 1 teaspoon curd + 1 teaspoon baking soda
In which bowl will the milk form into curd faster? Explain your answer.
[Link] of oxygen with carbon and with hydrogen are highly exothermic processes. Compare
the amount of energy released on combustion of methane and propane.
(a) Which compound will yield more energy per mole on combustion? Justify your answer.
(b) Write the balanced chemical equations for complete combustion of propane and methane.
[Link] mole of an alkane P is burned in an excess of oxygen to yield 6 moles ofcarbon dioxide
and 14 moles of water.
(a) Write the chemical formula and chemical name of the compound.
(b) Will this compound produce a clear or sooty flame on burning? Justify your answer.
PHYSICS
[Link] electric iron consumes energy at a rate of 880W when heating is at the maximum rate
and 330W when heating is at the minimum,if the source voltage is at 220V calculate the current
and resistance in each case.
[Link] is heating effects of electric current ?
[Link] an expression for the amount of heat produced when a current passes through a resistor
for some time.
[Link] scientific reasons.
[Link] carrying electricity should not be touched when bare footed.
[Link] must not use many electrical appliances simultaneously.
[Link] Madhu’s and Rahul’s circuits shown below. A) In which circuit will the bulb glow when
the switch is closed? Explain why. 3 b) Both Madhu and Rahul open the switches in their circuits
to change the bulbs. For whom will changing the bulb be safer and for whom will it be
dangerous? Explain why?
3.a. What are the factors which govern the force experienced by a current carrying conductor
placed in a uniform magnetic field depends?
[Link] between a bar magnet and a solenoid with appropriate diagram.
[Link] wanted to see the stars of the night sky. She knows that she needs a telescope toSee
those distant stars. She finds out that the telescopes, which are made of lenses, are called
refracting telescopes and the ones which are made of mirrors are called reflecting [Link]
she decided to make a refracting telescope. She bought two lenses, L1 and L2,out of Which L1
was bigger and L2 was smaller. The larger lens gathers and bends the light, While the smaller
lens magnifies the image. Big, thick lenses are more powerful. So to see far away, she needed a
big powerful lens. Unfortunately, she realized that a big lens is very heavy. Heavy lenses are
hard to make and difficult to hold in the right [Link] since the light is passing through the
lens, the surface of the lens has to be Extremely smooth. Any flaws in the lens will change the
image. It would be like looking through a dirty window.
[Link] on the below diagram what kind of lenses would sumati need to make the telescope
[Link] the powers of the lenses L1 and L2 are in the ratio of 4:1, what would be the ratio of the
focal length of L1 and L2?
[Link] is the formula for magnification obtained with a lens?
[Link] near point of Hypermetropic eye is 75cm from the eye. What is the power of the lens
required to enable him to read clearly a book held at 25cm from the eye?
[Link] how is the focal length of eye lens is changed by the ciliary muscles when object
distance when object distance from it changes?
[Link] for a moment that the earth has no atmosphere. What would be the colour of sky in
such case? Give reason for your answer.
d. Name the following parts of human eye:(i) A thin membrane through which light enters (ii)
The part of eye sensitive to light.
e. How does the size of particles affect the scattering of light?
BIOLOGY
1. Is respiration decomposition reaction, why?
2. [Link] should happen if plants do not posses chlorophyll?
ii. Herbivores have well developed incisors why?
iii. Why does a plant shed leaves if kept inside closed room for too long?
[Link] potted plants were kept in dark for 72 hours and then in sunlight in the given set up.
a) (i) What happens in bell jar A after few hours? How can this be tested in laboratory?
(ii) What happens in bell jar B after few hours? How can this be tested in laboratory?
b) What is the role of potassium hydroxide in this experiment?
c) Write the aim of the above experiment.
[Link] accidentally touched a thorn but quickly withdrew his hand. He later realized that he
did this without even thinking about it! So, his reflexes were quite quick.
(a) What is the main centre for such reflex actions of Rajesh?
(b) In a neuron, the conversion of electrical signal to a chemical signal occurs at which part?
(c) What are electrical impulses? Write any two limitations of electrical impulses.
[Link] and interpret your result of a dihybrid cross in the light of Mendelian laws of
inheritance with respect to any two characters found in pea plants.
[Link] is the difference between the food habits of organisms belonging to the first and third
trophic level ? Give one example of each of the organisms belonging to these trophic levels.
