SUBJECT-SCIENCE
SECTION A , ACTIVITY

PART I- Find out at least 10 different chemical reactions happening in your daily life. Write
down their balanced chemical equations and categorise them according to the type of
reaction.

PART II- “Art of using mirrors

& lenses in different fields of life”

Mirrors & Lenses have a wide range of applications in our day to day life……. People often
confuse these devices as they look similar but in reality, they are entirely different from each
other in terms of functionality & performance.

· For decorating purpose

· In the field of fashion design
· Scientific apparatus
· Photography
· Medical Use
· Architecture
· For security Purpose
· During personal grooming, and many more….

Explore any two such fields & show your investigation about mirrors & lenses which
may include introduction, ancient history of them, your creativity & scientific relevance.

WORKSHEET

Do the following questions in your classwork notebook.

(Chemical Reactions and Equations)

1. A solution of potassium chloride when mixed with silver nitrate solution, an insoluble
white substance is formed. Write the chemical reaction involved and also mention the type of
the chemical reaction?

2. Why do fireflies glow at night?

3. What does slaking of lime stand for? Why is there a hissing sound during this process?
Write the chemical equation for the reaction involved.

4. Why is silver chloride stored in dark coloured bottles?

5. Write the chemical formula of compounds formed on passing excess of CO2 through lime
water.

6. Write a balanced chemical equation when ferric oxide reacts with dilute Sulphuric acid to
give ferric sulphate and water.

7. Grapes hanging on the plant do not ferment but after being plucked from the plant can be
fermented. Under what conditions do these grapes ferment? Is it a chemical or a physical
change?8. Why is photosynthesis considered an endothermic reaction?

9. You are provided with four solutions dil.HCl, dil.HNO3and ZnCl2 and two containers
made up of copper and aluminium .In which of these containers the given solutions are kept?
10. During the chemical reaction between dil HCl and zinc metal, a gas is evolved. How the
presence of the gas be determined?

(Life Processes)

11.If a plant is releasing carbon dioxide and taking in oxygen during the day, does it mean
that there is no photosynthesis occurring? Justify your answer

12. Name the component of food not digested in the stomach.

13. Stomata of desert plants remain closed during the day time. How do they take up carbon
dioxide and perform photosynthesis?

14. Why is blood clotting useful?

15.” Breathing cycle is rhythmic whereas the exchange of gases is a continuous process
“Justify this statement.

16. Leaves of a healthy potted plant were coated with vaseline. Will this plant remain healthy
for long? Give reasons for your answer.

17. Arteries have thick walls whereas veins have valves. Explain.

18. Why are valves needed in the heart?

19. What is emulsification of fat?

20. How is the required pH maintained in the stomach?

(LIGHT: REFLECTION AND REFRACTION)

21 In an experiment with a rectangular glass slab, a student observed that a ray of light
incident at an angle of 55° with the normal on one face of the slab, after refraction strikes the
opposite face of the slab before emerging out into air making an angle of 40°with the normal.
Draw a labelled diagram to show the path of this ray. What value would you assign to the
angle of refraction and angle of emergence?

22. An object 5 cm in length is placed at a distance of 30 cm in front of a convex mirror of

radius of curvature 40 cm. Find the position of the image, its nature and size.

23. Explain with the help of a diagram, why a pencil partially immersed in water appears
bent.

24. It is desired to obtain an erect image of an object, using concave mirror of focal
length of 12 cm.

i. What should be the range of distance of an object placed in front of the mirror?
 ii. Will the image be smaller or larger than the object? Draw a ray diagram to show
the formation of the image in this case.

iii. Where will the image of this object be, if it is placed 24 cm in front of the mirror?
Draw a ray diagram for this situation also to justify your answer. Show the positions
of pole, principal focus and the centre of curvature in the above ray diagrams.

25. With respect to air, the refractive index of ice is 1.31 and that of rock salt is 1.54.
Calculate the refractive index of rock salt with respect to ice.

26. A thin lens has a focal length of -50cm. What is the power of the lens and its nature?

27. Why is convex lens called converging lens and concave lens a diverging lens?

28. What happens to the size of the image formed by a convex mirror when an object is
gradually moved towards the mirror?

29. Find the position, nature and size of the image formed by a convex lens of focal length 12
cm of an object 5 cm high placed at a distance 20 cm from it.

30. Show that the refractive index of a medium 1 with respect to medium 2 is reciprocal to
the refractive index of medium 2 with respect to 1 i.e. n12 = 1/n21.
