Name the processes involved in two cases.


There is a large group of materials P which can be divided into three groups Q, R and S on the basis of their properties. The substances belonging to group Q can be solids, liquids or gases. The solids belonging to group Q are usually electrical insulators. Most of the substances of group R are solids which are good conductors of electricity. The substances belonging to group S are neither insulators like Q nor good conductors like R. The properties of S are intermediate between those of Q and R.

  1. What could the group of materials P be ?
  2. Name the substances Q. Give two examples of such substances.
  3. Name the substances R. Write two examples of such substances.
  4. Name the substances S. Give two examples of such substances.
  5. Out of Q, R and S, which substances are malleable and ductile ?

A, B and C are all liquids. Liquid A has a comparatively low boiling point. On heating, liquid A vaporises completely without leaving behind any residue. Liquid A is being used increasingly as a fuel in motor vehicles either alone or by mixing with petrol. Liquid B has a very high boiling point. It also vaporises completely on heating, without leaving any residue. Liquid B is a conductor of electricity and used in making thermometers. Liquid C has a moderate boiling point. On heating, liquid C vaporises leaving behind a white solid D which is used in cooking vegetables. The condensation of vapours from C give a liquid E which turns anhydrous CuSO4 to blue.

(b) Which liquid could be a mixture ? Name this mixture.

(c) Which liquid could be a compound ? Name this compound.

(d) What could the solid D be ?

When the solid A is added to water, it dissolves with the evolution of a lot of heat and making little explosions to form two products B and C. The properties of products B and C are entirely different from those of solid A as well as water. Moreover, products B and C cannot be reconverted into solid A and water. When another solid D is added to water, it dissolves with the absorption of a little heat to form a product E which cools down. The product E shows the properties of both, solid D as well as water. Moreover, product E can be converted into solid D and water.

(a) What type of change occurs when solid A is dissolved in water ? Why ?

(b) What type of change occurs when solid D is dissolved in water ? Why ?

(c) Name a metal which you think could behave like solid A. Also name the products B and C.

(d) Name the solid D if it is the one which is used in making ordinary dry cells.

(e) Name the process by which D can be recovered from E.
