    L-4 Solids, Liquids and Gases

    III. Answer the following questions:


    1. What is matter? Name the three states of matter.
    Ans: Any substance that has mass and occupies space is called matter.
    The three states of matter are: Solids, liquids and Gases.
    2. Differentiate between solids, liquids and gases in terms of their particles.
    Ans: The difference between solids, liquids and gases in terms of their particles are:

    Solids Liquids Gases


    1) The particles of solid are very tightly The particles of liquid The particles of gases
    packed are loosely packed are very loosely
    packed.
    2) They have a fixed shape. They do not have a They too do not have
    fixed shape. a fixed shape.

    3) e.g.: book, bat e.g.: water, milk e.g.: oxygen, carbon-


    dioxide
    4)

    3. Define the following:


    a. Melting b. Condensation c. Evaporation d. Solidification
    Ans: a. Melting: The process by which a solid change in to a liquid on heating is called melting.
    b. Condensation: The process by which a gas change into a liquid on cooling is called
    condensation.
    c. Evaporation: The process by which water starts changing into water vapour is called
    evaporation.
    d. Solidification: The process by which a liquid change into a solid on cooling is called
    solidification.
    4. With the help of an example, describe solute, solvent and solution.
    Ans: The substance that dissolves is called solute. E.g.: salt, sugar
    The substance in which the solute gets dissolved is called the solvent. E.g.: water, milk
    A solute and solvent together forms the solution. E.g.: salt solution, sugar solution

    5. Differentiate between soluble substances and insoluble substances.


    Ans:

    Sl.no Soluble Substance Insoluble Substance


    1 Substances that dissolve completely Substances that do not dissolve completely in a
    in a solvent to form a solution are solvent to form a solution are called insoluble
    called soluble substances. substances.
    2. E.g.: salt, sugar E.g.: sand, chalk

    6. How does filtration help us to remove insoluble substance?


    Ans: When an insoluble substance is passed through a filter, the insoluble substance gets trapped
    in the filter. In this way filtration help us to remove insoluble substance. E.g.: Sand and water can
    be separated by filtration process.
