(b) Deepa selected wheat grains.
(c) Uma selected ground nut seeds.
(d) Priya selected potato

Answer:

1. (d) Sugar and water
2. (c) China-dish
3. (b) a reddish brown coating is deposited on the iron nail.
4. (d) a white solid settled at the bottom
5. (d) remain a true solution
6. (b) a translucent mixture is formed
7. (c) at moderate temperature
8. (d) copper sulphate
9. (a) ice made from distilled water (distilled water is pure water without impurities)
10. (b) (i) and (vi)
11. (c) Heating the mixture of iron filing and sulphur powder
12. (c) Magnesium oxide and basic in nature.

2Mg(s)  +  O₂(g)  ——> 2MgO(s)

13 (a) dry crushed ice  (dry crushed ice has larger surface area in touch with thermometer).

14 (b) 99.5°C
(Least count = (100-90)/20 = 0.5 i.e. each division represent 0.5°. Reading = 90° + 19x0.5 = 99.5°C)

15 (d) sublimation, dissolving in water, filtration, evaporation

16 (a) the solution remain colourless (Note: When it is a mixture of iron and sulphur, and then carbon-disulphide is added. Sulphur dissolves in Carbon-diSulphide making a yellow solution. In this question, IronSulphide is a compound here which will remain colourless with CS2. )


17 (a) avoid bumping
18 (b) only skeletal muscle cells
19. (a) methylene blue
20. (d) metanil yellow
21.(d) Priya selected potato (Note: Wheat, maize and ground nut seeds also contain starch. One need to crush them into powder before applying iodine test.)
