Class 07 Chapter Water Questions answers NCERT

Class 07 Science Chapter Water

Q. Why are we left only tiny fraction of water for use even if about 75 % of the earth surface is covered with water.

Ans: This is because most of the water about 97% of surface water is in sea and ocean as salty water that is unfit for domestic and agricultural use.

Q. What are the various uses of water?

Ans: Water is used for various activities such as agriculture, industries, cooking, cleaning utensils,
bathing, washing clothes, and, most importantly, for drinking.

Q. What are the three state of water?

Ans: There are three states of water
a. Solid state: ice, snow and hail  b. liquid: Rain, river, sea   
c. Gaseous: Water vapour

Q what is water cycle?

Ans: The circulation of water from atmosphere to the earth and vice versa is called the water cycle.

Q.What is evaporation?

Ans: The water present on the surface of the ocean evaporates by the sun’s heat. This process of conversion of water from liquid state to vapour state is called evaporation.

Q what is transpiration?

Ans: The excess water in plants evaporates through stomata of leaves and the stem into the air. This process is called transpiration.

Q. How cloud is formed?

Ans: The evaporated water above the earth surface is carried away by warm air. As the warm air moves higher from the surface of the Earth, it starts to cool down. It is because the water vapour present starts to condense to form tiny water droplets. These droplets float in the air and form cloud

Q. What is precipitation?

Ans: When clouds rub together heat is produced that melt the cloud into droplets. These droplets collect to form bigger drops of water. Some of them may become too heavy fall down as rain. This process is known as precipitation.

Q .What do you mean by infiltration?

Ans: The water from rain, rivers, lakes and ponds seeps through the soil and fills the space below the ground. The process of seeping of water through the soil is called infiltration

Q. What do you mean by aquifer?

Ans: Some places groundwater is stored between layers of hard rock. This is called aquifer. Water from aquifers is pumped and taken out through hand pumps and tube wells.

Q. How can we conserve water?

Ans: Water conservation is process of preventing wastage of water, using water carefully and recharging ground water. Water conservation can be done by :-
i) Repairing leaking pipes and taps.        
ii) Not wasting water during brushing teeth, shaving, bathing, washing clothes and during other activities.
iii) Rainwater harvesting.      
iv) By drip irrigation of plants.

Q. Fill in the blanks with the appropriate answers:

(a) People obtain ---------through tube wells and hand pumps.[groundwater]

(b) Three forms of water are solid, liquid and ---------[vapour.]

(c) The water bearing layer of the earth is ----------[ aquifer]

(d) The process of water seepage into the ground is called ---------[ infiltration.]

(e) The process of changing of water into its vapour is called---------[ evaporation.]

(f) The process of changing water vapour into water is called ---------[condensation.]

(g) No rainfall for a year or more may lead to ---------- in that region.[drought]

(h) Excessive rains may cause --------- [flood.]

Class 10 Chapter 02 Acid Bases and Salts NCERT Activity Explanation

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. Zn + H2SO4 --> ZnSO4 + H2 => Pass the Hydrogen gas through the soap solution. Bubbles formed in the soap solution as Hydrogen gas it does not get d...

Class 10 Metal and Non MetalsChapter 03 NCERT Activity Solutions

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. These metals are beaten into thin sheet on hammering. This property of metal is called malleability and metals are called malleable. Activity 3.4 Page ...

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

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....
