3. Answer
the following question.
a. Plants synthesize glucose in sunlight with
the help of chlorophyll from carbon dioxide and water and give away oxygen.
Identify the four compounds in this process and name their types.
Ans: Photosynthesis is a chemical process through which plants, some
bacteria and algae, produce glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and
water, using only light as a source of energy, which is absorbed by chlorophyll.
Four substances in this process are as follows:
>Carbon dioxide = organic compound
>Water = organic compound
>Glucose = organic compound
>Chlorophyll = organo-metallic compound or
complex compound

is an alloy, it contains 70% copper and 30% zinc. The largest proportion is
solvent, i.e. copper. The smaller proportion is solute, i.e. zinc. The solution
is Brass.

more elements or compounds.
2.The proportion of constituent substances in a
mixture can be variable.
3.The properties of constituent substances are
retained in the mixture.

7. Write
scientific reason.
a. Hydrogen is combustible, oxygen helps combustion, but water helps to
extinguish fire.
Ans: Water is a compound of hydrogen and
oxygen.
In a compound, the constituents do not retain their individual
properties. Hence, hydrogen is combustible and oxygen helps combustion, but
water is neither combustible nor supports combustion, it helps to extinguish
fire.
b. Constituent substances of a
colloid cannot be separated by ordinary filtration.
Ans:
1. A colloidal solution is heterogeneous.
2. The diameters of colloidal particles are of the
order of 10-5 m.
3. The particles of a colloid can easily pass through
a filter paper as the pore size of a filter paper is big. Hence, the
constituents of a colloidal cannot be separated by filtration.
c. Lemon sherbat has sweet, sour and salty taste and it can be poured in
a glass.
Ans: .Lemon sherbat has sweet, sour and salty taste and it can be
poured in a glass because sour taste indicates presence of an acid and if acid
is poured in a vessel made up of metal, then acid reacts with metal and makes
it poisonous in nature.So we prefer to take vessel made up of glass material.
d. A solid matter has the
properties of definite shape and volume.
Ans: A solid matter has the properties of definite shape and volume
because of the following reasons:
1.Intermolecular force of attraction between the
particles of matter is very strong.
2.Internuclear space between the particles of
matter is negligible.
3.Particles of matter are very close to each other
that they only vibrate at their fixed position.
