Why does the colour of copper sulphate solution changes when an iron nail is dipped in it? |
|
Answer» When an iron nail is dipped in copper sulphate solution, a brown coating of copper is formed on the surface of iron and the colour of CuSO4 solution changes from blue to pale green. Iron is more reactive than copper because it displaces copper from the solution of CuSO4 , forming FeSO4 solution. CuSO4 + Fe → FeSO4 + Cu |
|
| 6. |
What changes in the colour of iron nails and copper sulphate solution do you obserye after keeping the iron nails dipped in copper sulphate solution for about 30 minutes? |
|
Answer» Iron nails become brownish in colour and the blue colour of copper sulphate solution fades. This is because iron displaces copper from copper sulphate solution and forms ferrous sulphate which is colourless. |

Revise Matter in our surroundings class 9 with revision notes easily. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Answer» Matter in our surroundings Class 9 Notes:If you are wandering here and there matter in our surrounding notes then you are at right place. Matter in our surroundings class 9 notes will help you in revision and preparing for the final examinations. Here we included definition and characteristics of matter, diffusion and its application, Brownian motion, States of matter, all the three states of matter and their inter-conversion, evaporation, SI units of basic physical quantities. Matter:
Composition of matter:
Classification of matter:Matter is classified into different categories on the basis of its physical nature as well as chemical properties. Before defining different physical and chemical properties let us first consider the particle nature of matter. Chemical properties are not included in matter in our surroundings class 9 notes. Characteristics of particles of matter:
Physical states of matter:On the basis of physical nature of matter, it is classified into five different states. However, in Matter in our surroundings class 9 notes, we will read only main three states.
Difference table of solid, liquid, gaseous state:
Matter in our surroundings class 9 notes mentioned all the important properties based differences. Diffusion:
Applications of diffusion:As diffusion takes place in all the three states so let’s read each separately in Matter in our surroundings class 9 notes:
Brownian movement:The zig-zag motion of the particles in a fluid is said to be Brownian motion. In matter in our surroundings class 9 notes you are provided with what the actual syllabus is. For analysis prefer NCERT books. Inter-conversion between states of matter:All the three states of matter can be interchanged to one another. Let us take an example of water as it exists in all the three states, in solid state, it appears as ice and in liquid state, it resides as water whereas in gaseous state it is present in the form of water vapour. Matter in our surroundings class 9 notes contains the informative assesment of states of matter. States of mater can be interchanged by two processes:
Effect of change of temperature:Temperature plays a critical role in interchange of states. Here in matter in our surroundings class 9 notes, there are some inter-conversion by change in temperature:
Factors affecting the rate of evaporation:
Difference between Evaporation and boiling:Difference tables are exclusively added in Matter in our surroundings class 9 notes to get better understanding of the chapter.
Effect of change of pressure:
Latent Heat of Fusion and vaporization:
Temperature scale:

What is balanced chemical equation? Why should chemical equation be balanced? |
|
Answer» A reaction which has an equal number of atoms of all the elements on both sides of the chemical equation is called a balanced chemical equation. The law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed. Hence, in a chemical reaction, the total mass of reactants should be equal to the total mass of the products. It means that the total number of atoms of each element should be equal on both sides of a chemical equation. Hence, it is for this reason that chemical equations should be balanced. |

State two ways to prevent the rusting of iron. |
|
Answer» the two ways for preventing rusting of iron are as follows : [1] painting : after painting the metal surface as the moisture present in the air fails to react with the metal , resulting in prevention of rusting . [2] galvanisation : by this process , a thin layer of zinc is coated over the metal surface , which is obtained by the electrolysis . Hence , resulting in prevention of rusting . Rusting of iron can be prevented: (1) by Painting or galvanising, (2) By making alloys |
