Ans: Materials which allow electric current to flow through them are called conductors.

Q.2 What are insulators ?
Ans: Materials which do not allow electric current to flow through them are called insulators


Q.3 Why is distilled water conductor or an insulator ?

Ans: Distilled water is an insulator because there are no salts dissolved in it.

Ans:Electrodes are the terminals through which current is passed into a liquid.


Q.5 What is an electrolyte ?

Ans:An electrolyte is a liquid which is a good conductor of current.


Q.6 What happens when an electric current is passed through a conducting solution ?

Ans: A chemical reaction takes place when electric current is passed through a conducting solution.


Q.7 Define electroplating.

Ans: Electroplating is the process of depositing a layer of any desired metal on another metallic
object by means of electricity.

Q.8 Apart from chemical effect, which other effect electric current produce ?

Q.9 Name one non-metal which a good conductor of electricity ?

Ans: Graphite


Q.10 What is electrolysis ?
Ans: Electrolysis is the breaking up of a compound from its solution on passing electric current through the electrolyte.


Q.11 How can distilled water be made a good conductor of electricity ?

Ans: Distilled water can be made a good conductor of electricity by adding acid, base or salt to it.


Q.12 In what proportion the two products from electrolysis of water are obtained ?

Ans: By volume of hydrogen gas is twice the volume of oxygen gas.


Q.13 Why should you not touch electrical appliances with wet hands ?

Ans: Water is a solution of salts and so it is a good conductor of electricity. Therefore, we
can be electrocuted


Q.14 In case of a fire, before the firemen use the water hoses, they shut off the main electrical
supply for the area. Explain why they do this.


Ans: Firemen shut off the main electrical supply for the area because water is a good conductor of electricity and the firemen can get electrocuted


Q.15 Is it safe for the electrician to carry out electrical repairs outdoors during heavy downpour ? Explain.

Ans:No, it is not advisable for fire men to carry out electrical repairs during heavy downpour
because water is a good conductor of electricity and the fire person can get shock.


Q.16 What is the disadvantage of electroplating done in the factories ?

Ans: The disposal of the used conducting solution is hazardous and can cause environmental
pollution. There are specific disposal guidelines for environmental protection .


Q.17. Why is chromium used for electroplating ?

Ans: Chromium is used for electroplating because it has a shiny appearance, does not corrode
and is scratch resistant.


Q.18. Why the iron cans are electroplated with tin?

Ans: Tin is less reactive than iron. Thus food, stored in iron cans, is prevented from being spoilt by the iron by electroplating it by tin.


Q.19. After the electroplating of a spoon with silver, it was found that the anode has become thin why ?

Ans:During electroplating, the silver metal from the anode is deposited on the cathode. Therefore, it becomes thin.


Q.20. During electrolysis of water, why does hydrogen collect on cathode and oxygen collect on anode ?

Ans: When electric current is passed in water hydrogen ions (H+) move towards cathode and get collected over it. Hydroxyl ions (OH–) move towards the anode and oxygen is collected on it.

NCERT Activity Chapter 02 Acid Bases and Salt Class 10 Chemistry Activity 2.1 Indicator Acid Base Red litmus No Change Blue Blue Litmus Red No change Phenolphthalein Colourless Pink Methyl Orange Pink   Yellow Indictors are substance which change colour in acidic or basic media. Activity 2.2 There are some substances whose odour changes in in acidic or basic media. These are called olfactory indicators. Like onion vanilla, onion and clove. These changes smell in basic solution. Activity 2.3 Take about 5 mL of dilute sulphuric acid in a test tube and add few pieces of zinc granules to it. => You will observe bubbles of hydrogen gas on the surface of zinc granules.

CBSE I NCERT 10th Numerical Problem solved Reflection and reflection of light

By
Q. 1. A concave mirror of focal length 20cm is placed 50 cm from a wall. How far from the wall an object be placed to form its real image on the wall?  Solution: V= -50 cm F= -20cm From mirror formula 1/u = 1/f – 1/v = -1/20+ 1/50 = - 3/100  U = - 33.3 cm Therefore, the distance of the object from the wall x =  50 – u X = 50 – 33.3 = 16.7 cm. Q.2. An object is placed at a distance of 40cm from a concave mirror of focal length 15cm. If the object is displaced through a distance of 20 cm towards the mirror, By how much distance is the image displaced? Answer: Here f = - 15 cm, u = - 40 cm Now 1/f = 1/u + 1/v Then 1/v = 1/f – 1/u Or V= uf/u-f =( - 40 x -15)/25 = -24 cm Then object is displaced towards the mirror let u1 be the distance object from the Mirror in its new position. Then u1 = -(40-20) = -20cm If the image is formed at a distance u1 from the mirror then v1 = u1f/u1-f = -20X-15/-20+15 = -60 cm. = - 20 x-15/-20+15 = -60 ...

Class 10 Metal and Non MetalsChapter 03 NCERT Activity Solutions

By
X Class 10 NCERT Activity Explanation Class 10 Metals and Non Metals Activity 3.1 Page No. 37 Take samples of iron, copper, aluminium and magnesium. Note the appearance of each sample. They have a shining surface. Clean the surface of each sample by rubbing them with sand paper and note their appearance again. They become more shiny. => Freshly cut Metal have shiny surface Activity 3.2 Page No. 37 Take small pieces of iron, copper, aluminium, and magnesium. Try to cut these metals with a sharp knife and note your observations. They are very hard to cut. Hold a piece of sodium metal with a pair of tongs and try to cut it with a knife. Sodium can be cut easily with knife. Hence K and Na are soft metal cut with knife Activity 3.3 Page No. 38 Take pieces of iron, zinc, lead and copper try to strike it four or five times with a hammer.

Class 09 Atoms and Molecules Numerical Problem based on Law of chemical Combination(Solved)

By
Class 09 Atoms and Molecules Numerical Problem based on Law of chemical Combination Law of conservation of mass Law of constant proportion Empirical formula 1. If 10 grams of CaCO 3 on heating gave 4.4g of CO 2 and 5.6g of CaO, show that these observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.(Based on Law of conservation of mass) Solution:  Mass of the reactants = 10g ;  Mass of the products = 4.4 + 6.6g = 10g Since the mass of the reactants is equal to the mass of the products, the observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass. 2. 1.375 g of cupric oxide was reduced by heating and the weight of copper that remained was 1.098g.  In another experiment 1.179 g of copper was dissolved in nitric acid and the resulting copper nitrate was converted into cupric oxide by ignition . The weight of cupric oxide formed was 1.476 g. which law of chemical combinations does this data state? Solution: in first experiment: Copper oxide = 1....
