NCERT Exemplar Class 7 Science Chapter 6 Physical and Chemical Changes Solutions Img 1
Answer:
The correct matching is as given:
(a)—(iv), (b)—(vi), (c)—(v), (d)—(i), (e)—(iii), (f)—(ii)
Note

  • Carbon dioxide form calcium carbonate with lime water [Ca(OH)2] and turns it milky. It is a chemical change.
  • During rusting iron reacts with moist oxygen to form iron oxide, which is called rust.

Question 15:

Air, Copper sulphate, iron, vinegar, iron oxide, carbon dioxide, iron sulphate, copper, lime water, water
Answer:
(i) Iron + air + water  —> iron oxide
(ii) Copper sulphate + iron  —> iron sulphate + copper

Question 18:
Explain the following:
(a) Lime water turns milky on passing carbon dioxide gas through it.
(b) Bubbles are produced when acetic acid is added to a solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate.
Answer:
(a) When carbon dioxide (C02) reacts with lime water [Ca(OH)2], then calcium carbonate (CaC03) and water (H20) is formed.
Ca(OH)2 + C02  —>  CaC03 + H20
Calcium carbonate being insoluble white powder gives milky appearance to water.

NCERT Exemplar Class 7 Science Chapter 6 Physical and Chemical Changes Solutions Img 3
(c) Explosion of a firework produces heat, light, sound and unpleasant gases. Explosion of a firework is a chemical change.

Question 21:
If you leave a piece of iron in the open for a few days, it acquires a film of brownish substance, called rust.
(a) Do you think rust is different from iron?
(b) Can you change rust back into iron by some simple method?
(c) Do you think formation of rust on iron is a chemical change?
(d) Give two other examples of a similar type of change.
Answer:
(a) Yes, rust is iron oxide (Fe203). Thus, rust and iron are not the same substance.
(b) No, rusting of iron is a chemical change because in this reaction, a new substance, rust (iron oxide) is formed. It cannot be reversed by any simple method.
(c) Yes, rusting of iron is a chemical change. During the rusting of iron, it combines with the oxygen in the presence of water (moisture) to form a new compound ‘iron oxide’. This iron oxide is a rust.
NCERT Exemplar Class 7 Science Chapter 6 Physical and Chemical Changes Solutions Img 4
It is a permanent change which cannot be reversed back.
So, rusting of iron is a chemical change.
(d) Two other examples are:
(i) Setting of curd from milk.
(ii) Burning of magnesium ribbon to form magnesium oxide.

Question 22:
A student took a solution of copper sulphate in a beaker and put a clean iron nail into it and left it for about an hour.
(a) What changes do you expect?
(b) Are these changes chemical in nature?
(c) Write a word equation for the chemical change, if any.
Answer:
(a) (i) Colour of the solution in the beaker changes from blue to green.
(ii) A brown coloured deposit is found on the surface of the iron nail.
(b) The changes are chemical in nature as new substances, iron sulphate (green) and copper (brown) are formed.
