    Study Notes

    Types of Changes

    • Changes are classified into two main types: physical changes and chemical changes.
    • Physical changes alter physical properties without creating new substances, often reversible.
    • Chemical changes result in the formation of new substances, making them irreversible in many cases.

    Key Processes

    • Crystallisation allows the extraction of pure substances from solutions.
    • Galvanisation involves coating iron with zinc to prevent rusting.

    Examples of Changes

    • Photosynthesis, burning of coal, and digestion of food are chemical changes.
    • Dissolving sugar in water, melting wax, and beating aluminum into foil are physical changes.

    True or False Statements

    • Cutting wood is a physical change, not chemical.
    • Manure formation from leaves is a chemical change, not physical.
    • Zinc-coated iron pipes resist rusting due to galvanisation.
    • Iron and rust are distinct substances.
    • Condensation of steam is a physical change.

    Fill in the Blanks

    • Passing carbon dioxide through lime water forms calcium carbonate, causing cloudiness.
    • Baking soda is chemically known as sodium hydrogen carbonate.
    • Rusting can be mitigated by painting or galvanisation.
    • Physical changes only alter physical properties, while chemical changes create new substances.

    Chemical Changes Explained

    • Mixing baking soda with lemon juice is a chemical change, producing carbon dioxide gas.
    • Candle burning involves both physical changes (melting and evaporation of wax) and chemical changes (combustion).

    Curd Setting as a Chemical Change

    • Milk transforms into curd through fermentation, altering its chemical structure and properties.

    Cutting vs. Burning Wood

    • Cutting wood alters its size (physical change), while burning it changes its chemical composition, producing ash and gases (chemical change).

    Copper Sulphate Crystallisation

    • Dissolving copper oxide or carbonate in dilute sulfuric acid followed by evaporation leads to copper sulphate crystal formation.

    Rust Prevention

    • Painting iron surfaces forms a barrier against oxygen and moisture to prevent rust.

    Rusting Conditions

    • Rusting occurs faster in coastal areas due to saline moisture in the air, accelerating the corrosive process compared to arid desert regions.

    Historical Context of Iron Technology

    • The 1600-year-old iron pillar near Qutub Minar in Delhi showcases advanced rust-resistant technology from ancient India, having remained rust-free.
