9. Boojho brings water to his classroom in a clear plastic container during the summer. He left his bottle in the school one day. There was still some water in the bottle. The next day, he saw several water droplets on the interior surface of the bottle's empty section. These water droplets were created as a result of 

(a) boiling and condensation

(b) evaporation and saturation

(c) condensation and saturation

(d) boiling and condensation.

Explanation:

(c): Condensation and evaporation

The summertime heat caused the water to heat up in the plastic container and evaporate, forming the water droplets. This occurs as a result of the vapours reaching the bottle's lid and condensing to produce water droplets that accumulate on the empty section.


10. Boojho was requested by Paheli for a drink of water. She received a glass of icy water from him. When Paheli noticed several water droplets on the glass's outside, she questioned Boojho how they came into existence. What one of the following should Boojho respond with?

(a) The glass's water evaporates.

(b) Water dripping from the glass.

(b) The atmospheric water vapour evaporates.

(d) The atmospheric water vapour condenses.

Explanation:

(d): Atmospheric water vapour condensation.

The water droplets were created when air touched the ice-cold glass's surface and the water vapour from the atmosphere condensed to create droplets of water on the glass's exterior.


11.In order to win a game, Sheela, Saima, and Ravi must dissolve the most sugar possible in the same amount of milk. Saima drank ice-cold milk, whereas Ravi drank hot, boiling milk. Milk was acquired by Sheela at room temperature. Who do you anticipate winning the match, and why?

Explanation:

With warmth, solids become more soluble in liquids.

Since he will be able to dissolve the most sugar in hot, boiling milk, Ravi will triumph in the game.

The least amount of sugar will dissolve in the ice-cold milk thanks to Saima's ability.

When the milk is room temperature, Sheela will be able to dissolve the sugar more easily than Saima.

14. Identify and briefly describe a technique that can be used to separate a combination of husk from grains. What is the methodology's guiding principle?

Explanation:

The husk can be removed from grains using the winnowing procedure.

The lighter husk is swept away by the air and reaming falls to the ground when the combination is allowed to fall from a height.

This approach is based on the idea that lighter particles in a mixture of different weights are carried away by the wind.

(i) How would they create solutions of salt?

(ii) One who could create a saturated solution?

Explanation:

(i) A salt solution can be created by combining salt and water and stirring continuously.

(ii) Even after mixing the maximum amount of salt with water, Mohan will be able to make a saturated solution if some salt is left undissolved.


17. Paheli was feeling thirsty, but there was only a pot of dirty, unfit-for-drinking water at the house. If Paheli had access to the following items, how do you think she would have made this water safe to drink?

[Alum, tub, muslin, pan, thread, and lid.]

Explanation:

 Alum, a tub, muslin fabric, a gas cooker, thread, a pan, and a lid were provided.

The following actions could be taken by Paheli to purify the water.

First, use a muslin cloth to filter the murky water.

Now, bind the alum piece with thread, immerse it in water for a while, and then leave the water alone.

The water from the top can be decanted after a while as the contaminants will eventually settle at the bottom.

Now place the decanted water in a covered pan and bring to a boil for 10 minutes. When it has cooled, filter the water.

Drinkable water has been filtered.


18. To finish the "WISE FARMER" tale, read it and select the appropriate answer.

The farmer's healthy wheat crop was ready for harvest, which made him sad or joyful. He cut down the crops and let the stalks dry in the sun or rain. He hand-picked/threshed the seeds to separate them from the bundles of stem. He intended to remove the stones and husk after gathering the seed grains. His wife sieved/hand-picked it after winnowing/threshing them to separate the husk from the stones. She milled the wheat and filtered or sieved the flour. The astute farmer's wife received a fair price for the flour. Could you explain why?

Explanation:

(i) Happy

(ii) Sun

(iii) Threshed

(iv) Winnowed

(v) Handpicked

(vi) Sieved

Because they followed the right procedures to obtain high-quality flour, the wise farmer and his wife were able to sell their flour for a fair price.


19. A mixture of salt, sand, oil, and water is given to you. Describe the procedures for removing oil, sand, and salt from the mixture using a graphic and an activity.

Explanation:

By following these methods, a mixture of salt, sand, oil, and water can be separated:

1. Remove the oil from the mixture's floating portion. such that the oil is separated.

2. Strain the combination. A salt solution will be present in the filtrate after the sand has been separated. Sand is thus separated.


3. Let the salt solution evaporate. Salt is therefore separated.


20.  You are given a mixture of iron nails, salt, oil, and water. Provide step-by-step instructions for separating each ingredient from the mixture.
