Question 3:

Explain why, school bags are provided with wide straps to carry them.

Answer:

School bags are provided with wide straps to reduce the pressure on our shoulders.

According to the relation, the pressure is indirectly proportional to the area exposed to the force. That's why if we increase the area exposed to the force by the bag on our shoulders, then we feel less pressure.

Question 6:

Why is heat energy needed to melt a solid? What is this heat energy called?

Answer:

Heat energy is needed to convert solid into a liquid because heat energy increases the kinetic energy of particles. As the kinetic energy increases, the movement of the particles increases and eventually the bond or attraction between the particles gets broken and the particles start moving faster. Moving faster cause the state of the matter to change because the particles in solid are rigid but when the heat is applied the particles are loosened and start moving freely. So, it changes into a liquid state.
The heat energy that it used to change 1 kg of solid into liquid at atmospheric pressure and its melting point is called the latent heat of fusion.

Question 10:

(a) Derive the formula: s = ut + 1/2 at2, where the symbols have usual meanings.

Answer:

Let the initial velocity of a body is 'u' and the final velocity of the body is 'v'.

The average velocity of the body = u+v2

If the body takes time 't' to travel a distance of 's', then,

s=u+v2×t  .......(1) 

Using the first equation of motion we can write, u +at  .......(2) (Where 'a' is the acceleration of the body)

Putting the value of 'v' from equation (2) into equation (1), we get,

s=u+(u +at)2×ts=2u+at2×t=ut + 12at2s=ut + 12at2

Question 11:

Discuss the conservation of momentum in each of the following cases:
(i) a rocket taking off from ground.
(ii) flying of a jet aeroplane.

Answer:

(i) When a rocket takes off, hot burning gases eject at very high pressure and speed in a downward direction. As the linear momentum of the gases and the rocket is conserved before ejaculation of the gases. Hence, to keep the momentum conserved after the ejection of high-speed gases, an upward thrust works on the rocket which takes it upward with high acceleration. That's how a rocket takes off of the ground. 

(ii) In a Jet aeroplane, the rate of burning of the fuel and the rate of ejection of exhaust gases is kept in such a way, that it provides the right amount of forwarding push which helps the jet to gain the desired change in momentum and accelerate accordingly.

So, the conservation of momentum is also applicable here. Ejection of exhaust gases at high speed in the backward direction disturbs the linear momentum of the jet. Hence, a forward thrust acts on the jet which accelerates it in such a way that it suffers an equal change in momentum in forwarding direction. That's how a jet aeroplane flies at high speeds.

Question 12:

Define the terms 'frequency', 'wavelength' and 'velocity' of a sound wave. What is the relation between them?

Answer:

When a wave travels through a medium, particles of the medium oscillate about their mean position. The number of oscillations per second is known as the frequency of the wave. SI unit of frequency is Hertz(Hz).

The distance between two consecutive crests or troughs is called wavelength of the wave. SI unit of wavelength is meter (m). It is denoted by symbol 'λ'.

When a wave travels through a medium, it creates a disturbance in the particles of the medium. As the disturbance moves along the direction of the wave, we say the wave is moving. The distance covered by that disturbance in one second is known as the velocity of the wave. It is given by the product of the wavelength and frequency of the wave. 

Wavelength, Frequency, and velocity of any wave are related according to the following relation,

 v(velocity)=λ(wavelength) × ν(frequency)

Question 16:

Explain the formation of (i) sodium ion, and (ii) chloride ion, from their respective atoms giving the number of protons and number of electrons in each one of them. What is the reason for positive charge on a sodium ion and negative charge on a chloride ion?

Answer:

(i) Electronic configuration of sodium (Na) is 2, 8, 1.
To attain noble gas configuration sodium atom will lose one electron and form sodium ion. Sodium gets a positive charge on it as it loses one electron.

Na = 2, 8, 1
Number of protons = 11
Number of electrons = 11

Na+ = 2, 8
Number of protons = 11
Number of electrons = 10

(ii) Electronic configuration of chlorine (Cl) is 2, 8, 7. To attain noble gas configuration chlorine atom will gain one electron and form chloride ion. Chlorine gets a negative charge on it as it gains one electron.
Cl = 2, 8, 7
Number of protons = 17
Number of electrons = 17

Cl- = 2, 8, 8 
​Number of protons = 17
Number of electrons = 18

Question 17:

(a) Define valency of an element. What valency will be shown by an element having atomic number 14?
(b) What is the relation between the valency of an element and the number of valence electrons in its atoms? Explain with examples.

Answer:

(a) Valency of an element can be defined as the number of electrons present in the valence shell that is/are available for bonding.
Electronic configuration of the element having atomic number 14 is 2, 8, 4.
As this element has 4 electrons in its valence shell it's not possible to lose 4 electrons, so valency of this element is 4.

(b) Valency of an element is the number of electrons available for bond formation while valence electrons are electrons available in the outer most shell of the atoms.

For eg.,
Electronic configuration of chlorine is 2, 8, 7.
Valence electrons = 7
Valency of chlorine = 1

Electronic configuration of aluminium is 2, 8, 3.
Valence electrons = 3
Valency of aluminium = 3

Question 23:

Calculate the number of aluminium ions present in 0.051 g of aluminium oxide (Al2O3). (Atomic masses: Al = 27 u; O = 16 u)

Answer:

Molecular mass of aluminium oxide = 2×27+3×16                                                   =54+48                                                   = 102

Number of moles of aluminium oxide =Given massMolar mass                                                     =0.051102                                                     =0.0005 mol

As 1 mole of aluminium oxide contains 2 moles of aluminium.

So, 0.0005 mole of aluminium oxide contains = 0.0005 ⅹ 2

0.0005 mole of aluminium oxide contains = 0.001 mole of Aluminium

As 1 mole contains 6.022 ⅹ 1023 ions
Therefore, 0.001 moles of aluminium oxide = 6.022 ⅹ 1023 ⅹ 0.001 ions
                                                                     =  6.022 ⅹ 1020 ions of aluminium

Hence, 0.051 g of aluminium oxide contains 6.022ⅹ1020 ions of aluminium.
