5. Collect a monocot and dicot plant available in your area. Observe the plants carefully and describe them in scientific language.

6. Which criteria are used for the classification of plants? Explain with reasons.
Answer:
Criteria for classification of plants:

• If plants do not bear flowers, fruits and seeds, they are non-seed bearing plants. If they bear flowers, fruit and seeds, they are seed-bearing plants.
• Presence or absence of conducting tissues- Plants such as pteridophytes, gymnosperms and angiosperms which possess conducting tissues are included in vascular plants whereas thallophytes and bryophytes which do not possess conducting tissues are included under non-vascular plants.
• Depending upon whether the seeds are enclosed in fruit or not, plants are classified as gymnosperms (naked-seeds) and angiosperms (seeds covered by fruit)
• Depending upon the number of cotyledons in seeds, plants are classified into dicotyledons and monocotyledons

Write note on

Question 1.
August W. Eichler
Answer:
In 1883, Eichler, a botanist, classified the Kingdom Plantae into two subkingdoms. As a result, two subkingdoms, cryptogams and phanerogams were considered for plant classification.

Question 2.
Thallophyta
Answer:
These plants grow mainly in water. This group of plants, which do not have specific parts like root-stem-leaves-flowers but are autotrophic due to the presence of chlorophyll, is called algae. Algae show great diversity. They may be unicellular or multicellular, and microscopic or large. Examples of algae are Spirogyra, Ulothrix, Ulva, Sargassum, etc. Some of these are found in fresh water while some are found in saline water. These plants usually have a soft and fibre-like body. Various types of fungi like yeasts and moulds which do not have chlorophyll are also included in this group.

Question 3.
Bryophyta
Answer:
This group of plants is called the amphibians’ of the plant kingdom because they grow in moist soil but need water for reproduction. These plants are thalloid, multicellular and autotrophic. They reproduce by spore formation. The structure of the plant body of bryophytes is flat, ribbon-like long, without true roots, stem and leaves. Instead, they have stem-like or leaf-like parts and root-like rhizoids. They do not have specific tissues for conduction of food and water. Examples are Moss (Funaria), Marchantia, Anthoceros, Riccia, etc.

Question 4.
Pteridophyta
Answer:
Plants from this group have well developed roots, stem and leaves and separate tissues for conduction of food and water. But, they do not bear flowers and fruits. They reproduce with the help of spores formed along the back or posterior surface of their leaves. Examples are ferns like Nephrolepis, Marsilea, Pteris, Adiantum, Equisetum, Selaginella, Lycopodium, etc. These plants reproduce asexually by spore-formation and sexually by zygote formation. They have a well-developed conducting system.

Question 5.
Phanerogams
Answer:
Plants which have special structures for reproduction and produce seeds are called phanerogams. In these plants, after the process of reproduction, seeds are formed which contain the embryo and stored food. During germination of the seed, the stored food is used for the initial growth of the embryo. Depending upon whether seeds are enclosed in a fruit or not, phanerogams are classified into gymnosperms and angiosperms.

Question 6.
Gymnosperms
Answer:
Gymnosperms are mostly evergreen, perennial and woody. Their stems are without branches. The leaves form a crown. These plants bear male and female flowers on different sporophylls of the same plant. Seeds of these plants do not have natural coverings, i.e. these plants do not form fruits and are therefore called gymnosperms. (gymnos: naked, sperms: seeds). Examples Cycas, Picea (Christmas tree), Thuja (Morpankhi), Pinus (Deodar), etc.

Question 7.
Angiosperms
Answer:
The flowers these plants bear are their reproductive organs. Flowers develop into fruits and seeds are formed within fruits. Thus, these seeds are covered; hence, they are called angiosperms (angios: cover, sperms: seeds). The plants whose seeds can be divided into two equal halves or dicotyledons are called dicotyledonous plants and those whose seeds cannot be divided into equal parts are called monocotyledonous plants.

2. Write down the changes that will be seen in each instance and explain the reason behind it.

(a) 50ml water is added to 50ml solution of copper sulphate.

Answer:

• Copper sulphate solution is blue. It is a concentrated solution.
• When 50 ml of water is added to this concentrated solution, it becomes a diluted solution.
• The intensity of the blue colour is now different in this homogenous mixture.

(b) Two drops of the indicator phenolphthalein were added to 10ml solution of sodium hydroxide.

Answer:

• Sodiumhy droxide is a base and phenolphthalein is a synthetic indicator.
• Sodium hydroxide solution will turn pink if phenolphthalein is added to it.
• It is a test for identifying bases.

(c) Two or three filings of copper were added to 10ml dilute nitric acid and stirred.
Answer:
When copper metal reacts with dilute nitric acid, the metal does not displace hydrogen from the acid like reaction with other metals. Instead the reaction produces nitric oxide, (NO).

(d) A litmus paper was dropped into 2ml dilute HCl. Then 2ml concentrated NaOH was added to it and stirred.
Answer:
Blue litmus Paper:

• HCl is hydrochloric acid, so the blue litmus turns red.
• When equal amount of NaOH is added the colour again changes to blue and remains the same.

Red litmus paper:

• Red litmus paper shows no colour change in hydrochloric acid.
• When some amount of NaOH is added the colour changes to blue initially but when the amount of NaOH is sufficient the blue colour dissappears.
• Equal amounts of HC1 and NaOH results in the formation of NaCl, a salt, and the solvent water. This reaction is called the neutralization reaction.

(e) Magnesium oxide was added to dilute HCl and magnesium oxide was a added to dilute NaOH.
Answer:
(i) Magnesium oxide + dil HCl.
This is a neutralization reaction. Magnesium oxide is an insoluble base, it reacts with dilute HCl to produce a soluble salt MgCl₂ and water H₂O.
\(\mathrm{MgO}_{(\mathrm{s})}+2 \mathrm{HCl}_{(\mathrm{aq})} \longrightarrow \mathrm{MgCl}_{2(\mathrm{aq})}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{(n)}\)

(ii) Magnesium oxide + NaOH.
No chemical reaction takes place between magnesium oxide and sodium hydroxide.

(f) Zinc oxide was added to dilute HCl and zinc oxide was added to dilute NaOH.
Answer:

• Zinc oxide reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid to form zinc chloride and water. It is a neutralization reaction.
  \(\mathrm{ZnO}_{(\mathrm{s})}+2 \mathrm{HCl}_{(\mathrm{aq})} \longrightarrow \mathrm{ZnCl}_{2(\mathrm{aq})}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{(\mathrm{l})}\)
• Zinc oxide reacts with sodium hydroxide to form sodium zincate and water.
  \(\mathrm{ZnO}_{(\mathrm{s})}+2 \mathrm{NaOH}_{(\mathrm{aq})} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{ZnO}_{2(\mathrm{aq})}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{(\mathrm{t})}\)

(g) Dilute HCl was added to limestone.
Answer:

• When hydrochloric acid is added to limestone, carbon dioxide is liberated. Limestone is calcium carbonate.
  CaCO₃ + 2 HCl → CaCl₂ + CO₂ + H₂O
• Carbon dioxide is prepared in the laboratory using these chemicals.

(h) Pieces of blue vitriol were heated in a test tube. On cooling, water was added to it.
Answer:

• On heating, the crystalline structure of blue vitriol breaks down to form a colourless powder and water is released.
• This water is part of the crystal structure of blue vitriol.
• It is called water of crystallization.
• On adding water to the white powder, a solution was formed which has the same colour as the copper sulphate salt solution.

(i) Dilute H₂SO₄ was taken in an electrolytic cell and electric current was passed through it.
Answer:

• If pure water is used in the electrolytic cell, current does not flow even on putting on the switch.
• Pure water is a bad conductor of electricity. Dilute H₂SO₄ is acidulated water.
• The electrical conductivity of water increases on mixing with strong acid or base in it due to their dissociation and electrolysis of water takes place.
• H₂SO₄ is fully dissociated in aqueous solution. \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{H}^{+}+\mathrm{SO}_{4}^{2-}\)
• H₂O is a weak electrolyte and is only slightly dissociated \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow \mathrm{H}^{+}+\mathrm{OH}^{-}\)
• During electrolysis, the hydrogen ions migrate towards the cathode and are discharged there.

[H+ ions gains electrons and are converted to hydrogen gas]
\(2 \mathrm{H}^{+}+2 \mathrm{e}^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{H}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}\)
Cathode reaction:
\(2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{(\mathrm{i})}+2 \mathrm{e}^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{H}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}+2 \mathrm{OH}_{(\mathrm{aq})}^{-}\)
Anode reaction:
\(2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{(\mathrm{l})} \longrightarrow \mathrm{O}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}+4 \mathrm{H}_{(\mathrm{aq})}^{+}+4 \mathrm{e}\)

• For every hydrogen ion discharged at the anode, another hydrogen ion is formed at the cathode.
• The net result is that the concentration of the sulphuric acid remains constant and electrolysis of water is overall reaction. \(2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{H}_{2}+\mathrm{O}_{2}\)
• The volume of the hydrogen gas formed near the cathode is double that of the oxygen gas formed near the anode.

• Anode reaction:
  \(2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{(l)} \longrightarrow \mathrm{O}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}+4 \mathrm{H}_{(\mathrm{aq})}^{+}+4 \mathrm{e}^{-}\)
• It is found that the volume of gas formed near the cathode is double that of the gas formed near the anode.
• Hydrogen gas is formed near the cathode and oxygen gas near the anode.
• From this, it is clear that electrolysis of water has taken place and its constituent element have been released.

9. Give a reason for the following.

a. Hydronium ions are always in the form H₃O⁺.
Answer:

• Acids in water gives H⁺ ions. These H⁺ ions do not exist freely in water.
• This is because H⁺ is a single proton, a hydrogen atom has only one proton and one electron.
• If the electron is removed to make H⁺, all that is left is an extremely tiny positively charged nucleus.
• This H ion will immediately combine with the surrounding water (H₂O) molecules to form (H₃O₄) hydronium ion.

b. Buttermilk spoils if kept in a copper or brass container.
Answer:

Cut a lemon into two equal parts. Take the juice of each part into two separate beakers. Pour 10 ml of drinking water in one beaker and 20 ml in the second. Stir the solutions in both the beakers and taste them. Is there any difference in the tastes of the solutions in the two beakers? What is that difference?
Answer:

• In the above activity, the sour taste of the solutions is because of the solute, lemon juice in them.
• The quantity of the lemon juice is the same in both the solutions. Yet their tastes are different.
• The solution in the first beaker is more sour than the one in the second.
• Although the quantity of the solute is the same in both the solutions, the quantity of the solvent is different.
• Ratio of the quantity of the solute to the quantity of the resulting solution is different. This ratio is larger for the solution in the first beaker and therefore that solution tastes more sour.
• On the other hand, the proportion of the lemon juice in the total solution in the second beaker is smaller and taste is less sour.
• The taste of foodstuff depends upon the nature of the taste-giving ingredient and its proportions in the foodstuff.
• Similarly, all the properties of a solution depend on the nature of the solute and solvent and also on the proportion of the solute in a solution
• The proportions of a solute in a solution is called the concentration of the solute in the solution.

Question 2.
Take a big test tube. Choose a rubber stopper in which a gas tube can be fitted. Take a few pieces of magnesium ribbon in the test tube and add some dilute HCl to it. Take a lighted candle near the end of the gas tube and observe. What did you observe?

Answer:

• Magnesium metal reacts with dilute HCl and an inflammable gas, hydrogen, is formed.
• During this reaction, the reactive metal displaces hydrogen from the acid to release hydrogen gas.
• At the same time, the metal is converted into basic radical which combines with the acidic radical from the acid to form the salt.
  \(\mathrm{Mg}_{(\mathrm{s})}+2 \mathrm{HCl}_{(\mathrm{aq}) \longrightarrow} \underset{\rightarrow}{\mathrm{MgCl}_{2(\mathrm{aq})}}+\mathrm{H}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}\)

Question 3.
Take some water in a test tube and add a little red oxide (the primer used before painting iron articles) to it. Now add a small quantity of dilute HCl to it, shake the test tube and observe.
(a) Does the red oxide dissolve in water?
(b) What change takes place in the particles of red oxide on adding dilute HCl?
Answer:
(a) The chemical formula of red oxide is Fe₂O₃. It is insoluble in water.
(b) The water-insoluble red oxide reacts with HCl to produce a water-soluble salt FeCl₃.

• This gives a yellowish colour to the water.
• The following chemical equation can be written for this chemical change.
  \(\mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3(\mathrm{~s})}+6 \mathrm{HCl}_{(\mathrm{aq})} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{FeCl}_{3(\mathrm{aq})}+3 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{(\mathrm{l})}\)

Question 4.
Fit a bent tube in a rubber cork. Take some lime water in a test tube and keep it handy. Take some baking soda in another test tube and add some lemon juice to it. Immediately fit the bent tube over it. Insert its other end into the lime water. Note down your observations of both the test tubes. Repeat the procedure using washing soda, vinegar and dilute HC1 properly. What do you see?
Answer:

• In this activity, when limewater comes in contact with the gas released in the form of an effervescence, it turns milky.
• This is a chemical test for carbon dioxide gas.
• When lime water turns milky, we infer that the effervescence is of CO₂.
• This gas is produced on the reaction of acids with carbonate and bicarbonate salts of metals.
• A precipitate of CaCO₃ is produced on its reaction with the lime water Ca(OH)₂.
• This reaction can be represented by the following chemical equation.
  \(\mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OH})_{2(\mathrm{aq})}+\mathrm{CO}_{2(\mathrm{~g})} \longrightarrow \mathrm{CaCO}_{3(\mathrm{~s})}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{(\mathrm{l})}\)
• Washing soda is sodium carbonate Na2CO₃. It will react same as baking soda (NaHCO₃).
• Vinegar and HCl are acids, they do not react chemically with lemon juice.

Answer:

Give scientific reasons:

Question 1.
Ionic compound NaCl has very high stability.
Answer:

• The outermost shell of both Na⁺ and Cl^– ions is a complete octet.
• An electronic configuration with a complete octet indicates a stable state.
• A molecule of NaCl has Na⁺ and Cl^– ions. An ionic bond is formed between these ions.
• The force of attraction between them is very strong as it is formed between the oppositely charged Na⁺ and Cl^– ions.
• Therefore NaCl, an ionic compound has very high stability.

Question 2.
Ionic compound dissociates while forming an aqueous solution.
Answer:

• On dissolving in water, an ionic compound forms an aqueous solution.
• In the solid state, the oppositely charged ions in the ionic compound are sitting side by side.
• When an ionic compound being to dissolve in water, the water molecules push themselves in between the ions of the compound and it separates them from each other, that is to say, an ionic compound dissociates while forming an aqueous solution.

Question 3.
Blue coloured copper sulphate crystals become colourless on heating.
Answer:

• Copper sulphate crystals are blue in colour and crystalline in form due to presence of water of crystallisation.
• Each molecule of crystalline copper sulphate contains five molecules of water of crystallisation (CuSO₄.5H₂O).
• On heating, the copper sulphate crystals lose the water of crystallisation and turns into white amorphous powder called as anhydrous copper sulphate.
• Therefore, blue coloured copper sulphate crystals become colourless on heating.

Question 4.
During electrolysis of water, a few drops of sulphuric acid are added to it.
Answer:

• Pure water is a covalent compound and hence it is a non-electrolyte and does not conduct electricity.
• When a few drops of sulphuric acid (H₂SO₄) are added to water.
• Being a strong acid it dissociates almost completely in its solution forming H⁺ cations and \(\mathrm{SO}_{4}^{2-}\) anions.
• The movement of these ions in the solution towards the respective electrodes amount to the conduction of electricity through the solution.
• Therefore, during electrolysis of water, a few drops of sulphuric acid are added to it.

Question 5.
Glucose is a non-electrolyte.
Answer:

• Glucose is a covalent compound
• It does not form any ions in its aqueous solution.
• Due to this aqueous solution of glucose does not conduct electronic current.
• Hence, glucose is a non-electrolyte.

Question 6.
Pure water is a poor conductor of electricity but aqueous solution of sodium chloride conducts electricity.
Answer:

• Pure water does not contain any free ions.
• Sodium chloride (NaCl) is an ionic compound made up of sodium cation (Na⁺) and chloride anion (Cl)
• When sodium chloride is dissolved in water , these ions dissociates in its aqueous solution. ‘
• These ions are free to move in the solution and conduct electricity.
• Therefore, pure water is a poor conductor of electricity but aqueous solution of sodium Chloride conducts electricity.

Question 7.
When carbon dioxide gas is passed through freshly prepared lime water, the limewater turns milky.
Answer:

• Limewater traditionally means a weak solution of the alkali calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)₂.
• When CO₂ is passed through limewater, it reacts with calcium hydroxide to form insoluble particulates (precipitate of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃).
• Calcium carbonate is weak basic salt and this gives a milky white precipitate.
  
• Hence, lime water turns milky when CO₂ gas is passed through it.

Q.3.1. Answer the following:

Question 1.

(a) Zinc oxide reacts with sodium hydroxide
(b) Aluminium oxide reacts with sodium hydroxide.
Answer:
(a) When zinc oxide reacts with sodium hydroxide, it forms sodium zincate and water

(b) When Aluminium oxide reacts with sodium hydroxide, it forms sodium aluminate and water.

Question 2.
Can we call Al₂O₃ and ZnO acidic oxides on the basis of above reactions.
Answer:

• No, because they also react with acids to form their respective salts and water.
• So, they show the properties of basic oxides also.

Question 3.
Define ‘amphoteric oxides’ and give two examples.
Answer:

• Amphoteric oxides are those oxides which react with both adds as well as bases to form their respective salts and water.
• Amphoteric oxides show the properties of both acidic oxides as well as basic oxides. ZnO and Al₂ O₃ are amphoteric oxides.?

Question 4.
Take a solution of 1g copper sulphate in 50ml water in a 100 ml capacity beaker. Use a thick plate of copper as anode and a carbon rod as cathode. Arrange the apparatus as shown in the figure and pass an electric current through the circuit for some time. Do you see any changes?
Answer:

• A thin film of copper metal is deposited on cathode which is immersed in solution. There is no change in colour of solution
• The electrons from cathode combines with Cu²⁺ ion from the solution forming Cu atoms which were then deposited on the cathode.

Q.3.5. Answer in brief:

Question 1.
What are acids, bases and salts?
Answer:

• Compounds having H⁺ as the basic radical in their molecules are called Acids.
• Compounds having OH^– as the acidic radical in their molecule are called Bases.
• Ionic compounds which have a basic radical other than H⁺ and an acidic radical other than OH^– are called salts.

Question 2.
What is an ionic bond?
Answer:

• The molecule of an ionic compound has two constituents namely cation (positive ion / basic radical) and anion (negative ion / acidic radical).
• There is a force of attraction between these ions as they are oppositely charged, and that is called the ionic bond.
• The force of attraction between one positive charge on a cation and one negative charge on an anion makes one ionic bond.

Question 3.
Give examples to show that proportions of H⁺ and OH^– ions in aqueous solution determines the properties of those solutions.
Answer:
The examples to show that proportions of H⁺ and OH^– ions in aqueous solution determines the properties of those solutions are :

• The proportions of H⁺ and OH ions divides soil into the acidic, neutral and basic, types of soil.
• It is necessary for blood, cell sap etc to have H⁺ and OH^– ions in certain definite proportions for their proper functioning.
• Fermentation carried out with the help of micro-organisms, other biochemical processes and also many chemical processes require the proportion of H⁺ and OH^– ions to be maintained within certain limits.

Question 4.
What is pH scale?
Answer:

1. In 1909, the Danish scientist Sorensen introduced a convenient new scale of expressing H⁺ ion concentration which is found to be useful in chemical and biochemical processes.
2. It is the pH scale (pH: power of hydrogen). The pH scale extends from 0 to 14. According to this scale pure water has a pH of 7. pH 7 indicates a neutral solution. This pH is the midpoint of the scale.
3. The pH of an acidic solution is less than 7 and?

Question 5.
Give the pH of following solutions.
Answer:

Question 6.
What is universal indicator? Which is the most accurate method of measuring the pH of a solution?
Answer:

• In the pH scale, the pH of solutions varies from 0 to 14 in accordance with the strength of the acid or base.
• To show these variations in pH, a universal indicator is used.
• A universal indicator shows different colours at different values of pH. A universal indicator is made by mixing several synthetic indicators in specific proportions.
• The pH of a solution can be determined by means of a universal indicator solution or the pH paper made from it.
• However, the most accurate method of measuring the pH of a solution is to use an electrical instrument called pH meter.
• In this method, pH is measured by dipping electrodes into the solution.

Answer in detail:

Question 1.
Explain the Arrhenius theory of acids and bases.
Answer:
The Swedish scientist Arrhenius put forth a theory of acids and bases in the year 1887. This theory gives definitions of acids and bases as follows:
Acid : An acid is a substance which on dissolving in water gives rise to H ion as the only cation. For example, HCl, H₂SO₄, H₂CO₃

Base: Abase is a substance which on dissolving in water gives rise to the OH ion as the only anion, For example, NaOH, Ca(OH)₂

Question 2.
Write a short note on Neutralization.
Answer:

• Take 10 ml of dilute HCl in a beaker, go on adding dilute NaOH drop by drop and record the pH.
• Stop adding the NaOH when the green colour appears on the pH paper, that is when the pH of solution becomes 7.
• Both HCl and NaOH dissociate in their aqueous solutions.
• Addition of NaOH to HCl solution is like adding a large concentration of OH ions to a large concentration of H⁺ ions.
• However water dissociates into H⁺ and OH ions to a very small extent.
• Therefore on mixing the excess OH^– ions combines with excess H⁺ ions and forms H₂O molecules which mix with solvent water.
• This change can be represented by the ionic equation shown as follows. H⁺ + Cl^– + Na⁺ + OH^– → Na⁺ + Cl^– + H₂O
• It can be observed that Na⁺ and CT ions are there on both the sides. Therefore the net ionic reaction is H⁺ + OH^– → H₂O
• As NaOH solution is added drop by drop to the HCl solution, the concentration of ff goes on decreasing due to combination with added OH ions, and that is how the pH goes on increasing.
• When enough NaOH is added to HCl, the resulting aqueous solution contains only Na⁺ and Cl^– ions, that is, NaCl, a salt, and the solvent water. The only source of H⁺ and OH^– ions in this solution is a dissociation of water.
• Therefore, this reaction is called the Neutralization reaction. The Neutralization reaction is also represented by the following simple equation.
  

Question 3.
Explain the water of Crystallization.
Answer:

• Take some crystals of blue vitriol (CuSO₄. 5H₂O) in a test tube. Heat the test tube on a low flame of a burner.
• It was observed that on heating, the crystalline structure of blue vitriol broke down to form a colourless powder and water came out.
• This water was part of the crystal structure of blue vitriol. It is called water of crystallization.
• On adding water to the white powder a solution
  
  was formed which had the same colour as the solution in the first test tube.
• From this we come to know that no chemical change has occurred in the crystals of blue vitriol due to heating.
• Losing water on heating blue vitriol, breaking down of the crystal structure, losing blue colour and regaining blue colour on adding water are all physical changes.
  
• Similarly, ferrous Sulphate crystals also contain 7 molecules of water of crystallization which are lost on heating.
• The reaction is represented as
  
• Ionic compounds are crystalline in nature. These crystals are formed as a result of definite arrangement of ions.
• In the crystals of some compounds, water molecules are also included in this arrangement.
• That is the water of crystallization. The water of crystallization is present in a definite proportion of the chemical formula of the compound.

Question 4.
Explain the conduction of electricity through solutions of ionic compounds
Answer:

1. Electrons conduct electricity through electrical wires, and ions conduct electricity through a liquid or a solution.
2. Electrons leave the battery at the negative terminal, complete the electric circuit and enter the battery at the positive terminal.
3. When there is a liquid or a solution in the circuit, two rods, wires or plates are immersed in it. These are called electrodes.
4. Electrodes are made of conducting solid. The electrode connected to negative terminal of a battery by means of a conducting wire is called a cathode and the electrode connected to the positive terminal of a battery is called anode.
5. We have seen that salts, strong acids and strong bases dissociates almost completely in their aqueous solutions.
6. Therefore the aqueous solutions of all these three contain large number of cations and anions.
7. A characteristic of liquid state is the mobility of its particles. Due to its mobility the positive charged ions of the solution are attracted to the negative electrode or cathode.
8. On the other hand, the negative charged ions of the solution are attracted to the positive electrode or anode.
9. The movement of ions in the solution towards the respective electrodes accounts to the conduction of electricity through the solution.
10. From this we can understand that those liquids or solutions which contain a large number of dissociated ions conduct electricity.

उत्तर:
प्राय: सभी को कभी-न-कभी मरीजों से मिलने अस्पताल में जाना पड़ता है। मरीज से मिलने जाते समय कुछ सावधानियाँ बरतना अत्यंत आवश्यक है। मरीज से मिलने जाते समय हमें इस बात का ध्यान रखना चाहिए कि हमारी वजह से उसे कोई कष्ट न पहुँचे। बच्चे चुलबुले होते हैं। इसलिए मरीज के पास बच्चों को नहीं लेकर जाना चाहिए। बीमारी में दवा और पथ्य के साथ मरीज को आराम व अच्छी नींद आवश्यक है।

अत: मरीज के पास ज्यादा देर तक बैठना, जोर-जोर से बोलना, मरीज की बीमारी के बारे में नकारात्मक बातें करना आदि उचित नहीं है। जहाँ तक हो सके, मरीज का उत्साह बढ़ाना चाहिए। अस्पताल में डॉक्टर मरीज को उसकी आवश्यकता के अनुसार दवाएँ देते हैं। इसलिए मरीज से देसी नुस्खे आजमाने की बातें नहीं करनी चाहिए और न ही डॉक्टर की दवा के बारे में रोगी के मन में किसी तरह का भ्रम पैदा करना चाहिए।

गांधी जयंती पर गांधी जी का स्मरण
अकोला, 3 अक्तूबर। अकोला के सरदार पटेल विद्यालय में कल 2 अक्तूबर को गांधी जयंती समारोह का आयोजन किया गया। विद्यालय में समारोह सुबह 10 बजे आयोजित किया जाना था। विद्यालय के विद्यार्थी 9 बजे से ही अपने-अपने स्थान पर बैठ गए थे।

विद्यालय के सभी अध्यापक मंच पर खादी का कुर्ता-पाजामा और खादी टोपी पहनकर विराजमान थे। प्रमुख अतिथि के रूप में शहर के वयोवृद्ध गांधीवादी जनार्दन पाटील उपस्थित थे। मंच पर गांधी जी की तस्वीर सुशोभित हो रही थी।

समारोह की शुरुआत ‘वंदे मातरम्’ गीत से हुई। विद्यालय के प्रधानाचार्य राम रतन जोशी ने उपस्थित लोगों का परिचय दिया और देश के लिए गांधी जी के योगदान की चर्चा की।

प्रमुख अतिथि जनार्दन पाटील ने गांधी जी के जीवन की कई घटनाओं के बारे में बताया। उन्होंने गांधी जी के हमेशा सत्य बोलने के आग्रह के बारे में बताया और कहा कि हमें सत्य के मार्ग पर चलना चाहिए। अपने लाभ के लिए कभी झूठ का सहारा नहीं लेना चाहिए।

विद्यालय के उपमुख्याध्यापक सुधीर देशपांडे ने प्रमुख अतिथि के प्रति आभार व्यक्त किया।

राष्ट्रगान के साथ समारोह का समापन हुआ।

प्रश्न.
सार्वजनिक अस्पतालों में मरीजों को होने वाली परेशानियों के विषय में अपने विचार लिखिए।
उत्तर:
देश में अनगिनत निजी अस्पताल हैं, परंतु देश की आधी से अधिक गरीब जनता सार्वजनिक अस्पतालों पर ही निर्भर है। इन अस्पतालों की हालत बहुत दयनीय है। इन अस्पतालों की एक्स-रे आदि मशीनों का कोई ठिकाना नहीं होता। गरीबों को वहाँ इलाज के स्थान पर तकलीफ ही मिलती है। सार्वजनिक अस्पतालों में समय पर डॉक्टर नहीं मिलते। डॉक्टर यदि मिल भी जाता है, तो दवाइयाँ नहीं मिलती।

इसलिए मरीजों को महँगे दामों पर बाहर से दवाएँ खरीदने को बाध्य होना पड़ता है। इसके अलावा डॉक्टर के साथ-साथ अस्पताल के कर्मचारियों का व्यवहार भी रोगियों के प्रति बहुत खराब होता है। ऐसे में इन अस्पतालों में मरीज का ढंग से इलाज नहीं हो पाता। इसलिए लोग इन अस्पतालों में जाने से कतराते हैं।

प्रश्न.
‘शकुन-अपशकुन’ के बारे में अपने विचार लिखिए।
उत्तर:
शकुन-अपशकुन समाज में प्रचलित एक अवधारणा है। इसमें यह माना जाता है कि कुछ विशेष प्रकार की परिघटनाएँ हमारे भविष्य का संकेत देती हैं। अनुकूल भविष्यवाणी करने वाले संकेतों को शुभ शकुन और प्रतिकूल भविष्यवाणी करने वाले संकेतों को अपशकुन कहा जाता है। हमारे देश में ही नहीं, अपितु संसार भर में लोग शकुन-अपशकुन पर विश्वास करते हैं। भारतीय संस्कृति में शकुन-अपशकुन का वर्णन वेदों, पुराणों और धार्मिक ग्रंथों में भी मिलता है।

काली बिल्ली द्वारा रास्ता काट जाना, किसी कार्य को आरंभ करते समय किसी का छींक देना, घर से बाहर जाते हुए व्यक्ति को किसी के द्वारा टोका जाना आदि समाज में बहुप्रचलित अपशकुन हैं। इन अपशकुनों को मानने वालों की संख्या कम नहीं है। इन अपशकुनों के चक्कर में आकर कभी-कभी लोगों को हानि भी उठानी पड़ती है, फिर भी वे इन्हें मानने से नहीं चूकते। ये मान्यताएँ मनुष्य को कमजोर बनाती हैं। वैज्ञानिक दृष्टि से इन शकुन-अपशकुनों को अंधविश्वास ही माना जाता है।

प्रश्न.
कवियों की कविता सुनाने की आदत के बारे में अपने विचार लिखिए।
उत्तर:
कवि दो प्रकार के होते हैं। एक वे, जो सचमुच कवि होते हैं और अपने विचारों को मथकर उन्हें सुंदर और सुरुचिपूर्ण शब्दों के माध्यम से कागज पर उतारते हैं। उनकी कविता सुनकर श्रोता को आनंद के साथ-साथ एक दिशा भी मिलती है। दूसरे प्रकार के कवि वे होते हैं, जो अंत:करण से कवि नहीं होते। वे जबरन कवि बनकर कविता लिखना चाहते हैं। इनकी कविता कविता न होकर शब्दों का बेतरतीब समूह होती है।

जोड़-तोड़कर कविता तैयार करते ही ये श्रोता की तलाश करने लगते हैं और जो भी सामने मिल जाता है, उसे अपनी कविता सुनाए बिना नहीं छोड़ते। इनकी कविता सुनने के लिए कोई आसानी से तैयार नहीं होता। पर विद्वान कवि कभी अपनी कविता सुनाने की कोशिश नहीं करते। उनकी कविता सारगर्मित होती है और वे हर किसी को कविता सुनाते नहीं फिरते।

आदरणीय सरपंच महोदय, पंच परमेश्वर तथा अन्य सभी उपस्थित सज्जनो, आज मैं आप सभी के समक्ष अंगदान के विषय में अपने विचार प्रस्तुत करना चाहता हूँ। अंगदान वह प्रक्रिया है, जिसमें किसी व्यक्ति के शरीर का कोई अंग उसकी व उसके परिवार की सहमति से हटाकर किसी अन्य व्यक्ति को दे दिया जाता है। इस प्रक्रिया द्वारा एक व्यक्ति को नया जीवन मिल जाता है।

प्रत्यारोपण के लिए गुर्दे, लिवर, फेफड़े, हृदय, हड्डियाँ, अस्थि मज्जा, त्वचा, अग्न्याशय, कॉर्निया, आँत आदि का दान दिया जाता है। अंगदान की प्रक्रिया को दुनिया भर में प्रोत्साहित किया जाता है। भारत में यह कानूनन वैध है। अंगदान समाज के लिए एक चमत्कार साबित हुआ है। हालाँकि माँग की तुलना में आपूर्ति बहुत कम है।

वाह रे! हमदर्द Summary in Hindi

वाह रे! हमदर्द विषय-प्रवेश :

अस्पताल में इलाज के लिए भर्ती हुए मरीज को देखने जाने की परंपरा समाज में पुरानी है। इससे मरीज को खुशी होती है और कुछ समय के लिए उसका ध्यान अपने कष्ट से हट जाता है। पर कुछ मिलने वाले ऐसे होते हैं, जो मरीज के लिए परेशानी का कारण बन जाते हैं। प्रस्तुत हास्य-व्यंग्यात्मक निबंध में लेखक ने दुर्घटना के माध्यम से एक ऐसी ही स्थिति का चित्रण किया है। निबंध में जहाँ एक ओर समाज में विद्यमान परोपकार की भावना पर प्रकाश डाला गया है, वहीं दूसरी ओर बड़े ही रोचक ढंग से हमदर्द लोगों की मानसिकता को भी चित्रित किया गया है। कभी-कभी हमदर्दी भी रोगी की मानसिक पीड़ा का कारण बन जाती है।

वाह रे! हमदर्द मुहावरे – अर्थ

• ड़ाना – बाधा डालना।
• काँप उठना – भयभीत होना।

Class 9 Science Chapter 3 Current Electricity Intext Questions and Answers

Can you recall?

Question 1.
You must have seen a waterfall. Which way does the water flow?
Answer:
Water flows from a certain height of a mountain towards the ground.

Question 2.
Material: Copper and aluminium wires, glass rod, rubber.
Make connection as shown in figure 3.8. First connect a copper wire between points A and B and measure the current in the circuit. Then in place of the copper wire, connect the aluminium wire, glass rod, rubber, etc one at a time and measure the current each time. Compare the values of the current in different cases.

Also take different metal strips (Iron, Copper, Zinc, and Aluminium) and connect it in slot AB. Now observe the difference in the resistance using Ohm meter.
Answer:
When copper and aluminium wires are connected to the circuit, current flows through it, as both are good conductors of electricity. When glass rod or rubber was connected to the circuit, current does not flow through it, as both are bad conductors of electricity.

Copper displays lowest resistance while the resistance increases with aluminium, zinc and iron respectively.

Question 3.
Set up the experiment as shown in figure. Then remove the clamp from the rubber tube.

(a) What happens when the clamp is removed?
Answer:
When the clamp is removed, water flows from higher level to lower level.

(b) Does the water stop flowing? Why?
Answer:
Yes, the water stops flowing. This happens when the level of water becomes equal in both the bottles, i.e., there is no difference in the water levels.

(c) What will you do to keep the water flowing for a longer duration?
Answer:
The difference in the water level has to be maintained till that time. The difference must never be zero.

Give scientific reasons:

Question 1.
Free electrons are required for conduction of electricity.
Answer:

• Every atom of a metallic conductor has one or more outermost electrons which are very weakly bound to the nucleus.
• These are called free electrons. These electrons can easily move from one part of a conductor to its other parts. The negative charge of the electrons also gets transferred as a result of this motion.
• The free electrons in a conductor are the carriers of negative charge. Hence, free electrons are required for conduction of electricity.

Question 2.
Wood and glass are good insulators.
Answer:

• Those substances which have infinitely high electrical resistance are called insulators.
• Wood and glass have high resistance and negligible free electrons for conduction of electricity.
• Hence, wood and glass are good insulators.

Question 3.
Connecting wires in a circuit are made of copper and aluminium.
Answer:

• Copper and aluminum are good conductors of electricity.
• They have low electrical resistance and large number of free electrons.
• As they are malleable and ductile, they can be drawn into thin wires. Hence, connecting wires in a circuit are made of copper or aluminum.

Question 4.
A thick wire has a low resistance.
Answer:

• The resistance (R) of a wire is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area (A) of a wire. i.e., R i
• Thus, greater is the cross-sectional area of a conductor (wire), lower is its resistance. Hence, a thick wire has a low resistance.

Question 5.
A series combination of resistances is used to increase the resistance of a circuit.
Answer:

• When resistances are connected in series, the effective resistance of the resistors is equal to the sum of their individual resistances. R_s = R₁ + R₂ ………….. R_n
• The effective resistance is larger than each of the individual resistances. Hence, This arrangement is used to increase the resistance in a circuit.

Question 6.
A parallel combination of resistances decreases the effective resistance of the circuit.
Answer:

• In a parallel combination, the inverse of the effective resistance is equal to the sum of the inverses of individual resistances. \(\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{p}}}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_{1}}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_{2}} \ldots \ldots \cdot \frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{n}}}\)
• The effective resistance of resistors connected in parallel is less than the individual resistors.
• Due to this, any addition of an individual resistance in parallel combination will decrease the overall resistance of the circuit. Hence, a parallel combination of resistance decreases the effective resistance of the circuit.

Question 7.
Lightning occurs from sky to earth.
Answer:

• Lightning is the electric discharge travelling from clouds at high potential to the earth’s surface, which is at zero potential.
• The earth is always at lower potential as compared to the clouds.
• Hence, lightning occurs from sky to earth.

Question 8.
In streetlights, bulbs are connected in parallel.
Answer:

1. Even if any one of the several bulbs connected in parallel becomes non-functional because of some damage to its filament, the circuit does not break as the current flows through the other paths, and the rest of the bulbs light up.
2. When several bulbs are connected in parallel, they emit the same amount of light as when they are connected individually in the circuit, while bulbs connected in series emit less light than when connected individually. Hence, streetlights are connected in parallel.

Give explanations of the given statements:

Question 1.
Safety precautions are to be taken while using electricity.
Answer:

• Electric switches and sockets should be fitted at a height at which small children cannot reach and put pins or nails inside. Plug wires should not be pulled while removing a plug from its socket.
• Before cleaning an electrical appliance it should be switched off and its plug removed from the socket.
• One’s hands should be dry while handling an electrical appliance, and, as far as possible, one should use footwear with rubber soles.
• As rubber is an insulator, it prevents the current from flowing’ through our body, thereby protecting it.
• If a person gets an electric shock, you should not touch that person. You should switch off the main switch or remove the plug from the socket if possible.
• If not, then you should use a wooden pole to push the person away from the electric wire.

Question 2.
In a domestic circuit colour code is followed while setting up electrical wiring.
Answer:

• The electricity in our homes is brought through the main conducting cable either from the electric pole or from underground cables.
• Usually, there are three wires in the cable.
  (a) Live wire which brings in the current. It has a red or brown insulation.
  (b) Neutral wire through which the current returns. It is blue or black.
  (c) Earth wire is of yellow or green colour. This is connected to a metal plate buried deep underground near the house and is for safety purposes.
• In India, the voltage difference between the live and neutral wires is about 220 V.
• Live and neutral wires are connected to the electric meter through a fuse.
• They are connected through a main switch, to all the conducting wires inside the home so as to provide electricity to every room.
• In each separate circuit, various electrical appliances are connected between the live and neutral wires.
• The different appliances are connected in parallel and the potential difference across every appliance is the same.

Question 3.
Fuse used in electrical circuit can save electrical objects from damage.
Answer:

• Fuse wire is used to protect domestic appliances.
• It is made of a mixture of substances and has a specific melting point.
• It is connected in series to the electric appliances. If for some reason, the current in the circuit increases excessively, the fuse wire gets heated and melts.
• The circuit gets broken and the flow of current stops, thus protecting the appliance.
• This wire is fitted in a groove in a body of porcelain-like non-conducting material. For domestic use, fuse wires with upper limits of 1 A, 2 A, 3 A, 4 A, 5 A and 10 A are used.

Question 4.
Bulbs arranged in parallel glow brighter than bulbs arranged in series.
Answer:

• The amount of light given out by bulbs in parallel combination will be more than that in series combination.
• In parallel combination the resistance of the overall circuit decreases whereas in series it increases, so the current flowing through the bulbs in parallel circuit is more.
• Due to this, intensity of light given out by bulbs in parallel combination is more than the bulbs in series combination.

Complete the paragraph:

Question 1.
If resistors are connected in series,
Answer:
The same current flows through each resistor. The effective resistance of the resistors is equal to the sum of their individual resistances. The potential difference between the two extremes of the arrangement is equal to the sum of the potential differences across individual resistors. The effective resistance is larger than each of the individual resistances. This arrangement is used to increase the resistance in a circuit. This type of connection is used in electrical heating equipment like geysers, iron, and hair dryers.

Question 2.
If a number of resistors are connected in parallel,
Answer:
The inverse of the effective resistance is equal to the sum of the inverses of individual resistances. The current flowing through an individual resistor is proportional to the r inverse of its resistance and the total current flowing through the circuit is the sum of the currents flowing through individual resistors. The potential difference across all r resistors is the same. The effective resistance of resistors connected in parallel is less than r the least resistance of individual resistors.

This arrangement is used to reduce the resistance in a circuit. Even if any one of the several bulbs connected in parallel becomes non-functional because of some damage to its filament, the circuit does not break as the current flows, through the other paths, and the rest of the bulbs light up. When several bulbs are connected in parallel, they emit the same amount of light as when they are connected individually in the circuit, while bulbs connected in series emit less light than when connected individually.

Read the paragraph and answer the questions.

One’s hands should be dry while handling an electrical appliance, and, as far as possible, one should use footwear with rubber soles. As rubber is an insulator, it prevents | the current from flowing through our body, thereby protecting it. If a person gets an electric shock, you should not touch that person. You should switch off the main switch and if the switch is too far or you do not know where it is located, then you should remove the plug from the socket if possible. If not, then you should use a wooden pole to push the person away from the electric wire.

(i) Why should the electrical sockets be fitted at a certain height?
Answer:
Electric switches and sockets should be fitted at a height at which small children cannot reach and put pins or nails inside.

(ii) Why plug wires should not be pulled out while removing any electrical device?
Answer:
Plug wires should not be pulled out while removing any electrical device as it may cause the wire to break causing short circuit which can lead to fire or death.

(iii) Why should a person wear footwear with rubber soles while handling electrical appliances. .
Answer:
As rubber is an insulator, it prevents the current from flowing through our body, thereby protecting it. Hence a person should wear footwear with rubber soles while handling electrical appliances.

(iv) Saee is touching an electrical button socket with wet hands what will you advise her and why?
Answer:
We will advise her to dry her hands before touching any electrical sockets or devices as water on the hands can cause an electrical short circuit producing shock to the person touching it.

(v) Sneha is getting an electrical shock what will you do the save her life?
Answer:
We should switch off the main switch and if the switch is too far or we do not know where it is located, then we should remove the plug from the socket if possible. If not, then we should use a wooden pole to push the person away from the electric wire.

(vi) Give a title to the above passage.
Answer:
Precautions to be taken while using electricity

Answer the questions in details:

Question 1.
Find the expression (i.e., derive the expression) for the resistors connected in series.
Answer:
Expression for the resistance connected in series:
(i) Let R₁, R₂ and R₃ be three resistances connected in series between C and D.
(ii) Let R_s be the effective resistance in circuit and V₁, V₂ and V₃ be the potential difference across R₁, R₂ and R₃ respectively.
(iii) Let the potential difference across CD be V.

(iv) In series combination.
v = v₁ + v₂ + v₃ ……………………(i)
By using Ohm’s law
V = IR_s
∴ V₁= IR₁, V₂ = IR₂ and V₃ = 1R₃
Substituting these values in equation (j) we get
IR_s = IR₁ + IR₂ + IR₃
∴ R_s = R₁ + R₂ + R₃
For ‘n’ number of resistors conneded in series we get
R_s = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ + …………………. + R_n

Question 2.
Find the expression (i.e., derive the expression) for the resistors connected in parallel.
Answer:
Expression for the resistance connected in parallel.
(i) Let R₁, R₂ and R₃ be the three resistances connected in parallel combination between points C and D and let R be their effective resistance.
(ii) Let I₁, I₂ and I₃ be the currents flowing through resistances R₁, R₂ and R₃ respectively. Let I be the current flowing through the circuit and V be the potential difference of the cell.

(iii) For parallel combination of resistances,

(iv) Substituting the values of (I, I₁, I₂ and I₃) in equation (i) we get

Question 3.
Find the expression for resistivity of a material.
Answer:
(i) At a given temperature, the resistance (R) of a conductor depends on its length (L), area of cross-section (A) and the material it is made of. If the resistance of a conductor is R, then

(ii) p is the constant of proportionality and is called the resistivity of the material.
(iii) The unit of resistivity in SI units is Ohm metre (Ω m).
(iv) Resistivity is a specific property of a material and different materials have different resistivity. ’

Make the concept diagram and explain:

Question 1.
Make the concept diagram of an electrical circuit and explain the working of a fuse.

Answer:

• Fuse wire is used to protect domestic appliances.
• It is made of a mixture of substances and has a specific melting point.
• It is connected in series to the electric appliances. If for some reason, the current in the circuit increases excessively, the fuse wire gets heated and melts. The circuit gets broken and the flow of current stops, thus protecting the appliance.
• This wire is fitted in a groove in a body of porcelain-like non-conducting material. For domestic use, fuse wires with upper limits of 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, and lO Aareused.

(2) Show motion of electrons in an circuit and explain precautions while using an electrical device.
Answer:

• Electric switches and sockets should be fitted at a height at which small children cannot reach and put pins or nails inside. Plug wires should not be pulled while removing a plug from its socket.
• Before cleaning an electrical appliance it should be switched off and its plug removed from the socket.
• One’s hands should be dry while handling an electrical appliance, and, as far as possible, one should use footwear with rubber soles.
• As rubber is an insulator, it prevents the current from flowing through our body, thereby protecting it.
• If a person gets an electric shock, you should not touch that person. You should switch off the main switch or remove the plug from the socket if possible.
• 1f not, then you should use a wooden pole to push the person away from the electric wire.

Q.4.4.Complete the incomplete figure and give an explanation:

Answer:

If the physical state of a conductor remains constant, the current (I) flowing through it is directly proportional to the potential difference (V) between its two ends.

I α V
I = kV (k = constant of proportionality)

This is known as Ohm’s law.
We can obtain the SI unit of resistance from the above formula, Potential difference and current are measured in Volts and Amperes respectively. The unit o resistance is called Ohm. It is indicated by the symbol Ω.

The resistance of one Ohm : If one Ampere current flows through a conductor when one Volt potential difference is applied between its ends, then the resistance of the conductor is one Ohm.

उत्तर:
जीव दया
एक गाँव में एक छोटा बच्चा रहता था। उसका नाम चिंटू था। एक दिन चिंटू अपने घर के बाहर खेल रहा था। उसने देखा कि सामने एक पेड़ के नीचे दो-तीन कौए किसी चीज पर चोंच मार रहे हैं और वहाँ से हल्की-हल्की चर्ची-चीं की आवाज आ रही है। चिंटू दौड़कर वहाँ पहुँचा और उसने उन कौओं को वहाँ से उड़ाया। उसने देखा कि एक छोटी-सी गिलहरी वहाँ ची-चीं कर रही थी। उसका शरीर कौओं की चोंच से घायल हो गया था। चिंटू ने अपनी जेब से रूमाल निकाला और डरे बिना धीरे से गिलहरी को उठा लिया। उसने घर के अंदर लाकर उसे पानी पिलाया, उसके घावों को साफ करके उन पर सोफामाइसिन लगाई और उसे मेज पर बैठा दिया।

गिलहरी कुछ देर बाद धीरे-धीरे मेज पर घूमने लगी। मेज पर एक प्लेट में चावल के पापड़ रखे थे। गिलहरी ने एक पापड़ उठाया और अपने अगले दोनों पंजों में पकड़कर धीरे-धीरे उसे खाने लगी। चिंटू को बहुत अच्छा लगा। उसने माँ से पूछा कि जब तक गिलहरी बिलकुल ठीक नहीं हो जाती क्या मैं उसे अपने पास रख सकता हूँ। अभी अगर वह बाहर जाएगी तो कौए उसे अपना आहार बना लेंगे। माँ को चिंटू की ऐसी सोच पर गर्व हुआ और उन्होंने खुशी-खुशी उसकी बात मान ली। चिंटू ने अपनी किताबों की खुली आलमारी के एक खाने में एक तौलिया बिछाकर गिलहरी को बैठा दिया। उसके पास चावल के कुछ पापड़ तथा अमरूद के कुछ टुकड़े रख दिए। तीन-चार दिन बाद जब गिलहरी अच्छी तरह दौड़ने लगी तो चिंटू ने उसे बाहर पेड़ पर छोड़ दिया।

सीख: हमें पशु-पक्षियों के प्रति दया भाव रखना चाहिए।

गिरिधर नागर कविता का सरल अर्थ

1. मेरे तो गिरधर गोपाल …………………………….. तारो अब मोही।।

गिरि को धारण करने वाले, गायों के पालक कृष्ण के सिवा मेरा और कोई नहीं है। जिनके मस्तक पर मोर का मुकुट शोभित है, वे ही मेरे पति हैं। उनके लिए मैंने कुल की मर्यादा छोड़ दी है। चाहे कोई मुझे कुछ भी कहे। संतों के साथ बैठ-बैठकर मैंने लोकलाज त्याग दी है। मैंने अपने प्रेम रूपी बेल को अपने अश्रु रूपी जल से सींच-सींचकर बड़ा किया है। अब तो यह प्रेम-बेल फैल गई है और इसमें आनंद रूपी फल लगने लगा है। मैंने दूध जमाने के पात्र में जमे दही को मथानी से बड़े प्रेम से बिलोया और उसमें से कृष्ण-प्रेम रूपी मक्खन को निकाल लिया। शेष छाछ रूपी निस्सार जगत को छोड़ दिया। कृष्ण-भक्तों को देखकर मैं प्रसन्न होती हूँ, परंतु संसार का व्यवहार देख मुझे दुख होता है और मैं रो पड़ती हूँ। हे गिरधरलाल, मीरा तो आपकी दासी है, उसे इस संसार रूपी भव-सागर से पार लगाओ।

2. हरि बिन कूण गती मेरी …………………………….. मैं सरण हूँ तेरी।।

हे हरि, आपके बिना मेरा कौन है? अर्थात आपके सिवा मेरा कोई ठिकाना नहीं है। आप ही मेरा पालन करने वाले हैं और मैं आपकी दासी हूँ। मैं रात-दिन, हर समय आपका ही नाम जपती रहती हूँ। मैं बार-बार आपको पुकारती हूँ, क्योंकि मुझे आपके दर्शनों की तीव्र लालसा है। यह संसार विभिन्न प्रकार के दोषों और विकारों से भरा हुआ सागर है, जिसके बीच में घिर गई हैं। इस संसार रूपी सागर में मेरी नाव टूट गई है। हे प्रभु, आप शीघ्र इस नाव का पाल बाँधिए, अन्यथा यह जीवन-नौका इस संसार-सागर में डूब जाएगी। हे प्रियतम, आपकी यह विरहिणी निरंतर आपकी बाट जोहती रहती है। आपके आगमन की प्रतीक्षा करती रहती है। आपकी यह दासी मीरा सदा आपके नाम का स्मरण करती रहती है और आपकी शरण में आई है।

3. फागुन के दिन चार …………………………….. चरण कँवल बलिहार रे।।

हे मेरे मन, फागुन मास में होली खेलने का समय अति अल्प होता है। अतः तू जी भरकर होली खेल। अर्थात मानव जीनव अस्थायी है, : इसलिए भगवान कृष्ण से पूर्ण रूप से प्रेम कर ले। जिस प्रकार होली के : उत्सव में नाच आदि का आयोजन होता है, उसी प्रकार कृष्ण-प्रेम में मुझे ऐसा प्रतीत होता है मानो करताल, पखावज आदि बाजे बज रहे हैं और अनहद नाद का स्वर सुनाई दे रहा है, जिससे मेरा हृदय बिना स्वर और राग के अनेक रागों का आलाप करता रहता है। मेरा रोम-रोम भगवान कृष्ण के प्रेम के रंग में डूबा रहता है। मैंने अपने प्रिय से होली खेलने के लिए शील और संतोष रूपी केसर का रंग घोला है। मेरा प्रिय-प्रेम ही होली खेलने की पिचकारी है। उड़ते हुए गुलाल से सारा आकाश लाल हो गया है। अब मुझे लोक-लज्जा का कोई डर नहीं है, इसलिए मैंने हृदय रूपी घर के दरवाजे खोल दिए हैं। अंत में मीरा कहती हैं कि मेरे स्वामी गोवर्धन पर्वत को धारण करने वाले कृष्ण भगवान हैं। मैंने उनके चरण-कमलों में अपना सर्वस्व न्योछावर कर दिया है।

भारत महिमा Summary in Hindi

भारत महिमा कविता का सरल अर्थ

1. हिमालय के आँगन …………………………………… मधुर साम संगीत।. . .

हमारा यह प्यारा भारत देश हिमालय के आँगन के समान है। प्रतिदिन उषा भारत को सूर्य की किरणों का उपहार देती है। तब ऐसा लगता है मानो हँसकर वह भारत-भूमि का अभिनंदन कर रही हो। ओस की बूंदों पर जब प्रातःकालीन सूर्य की रश्मियाँ पड़ती हैं तो ऐसा लगता है जैसे उषा ने भारत को हीरों का हार पहना दिया हो।

सबसे पहले ज्ञान का उदय भारत में ही हुआ अर्थात सबसे पहले हम जाग्रत हुए। फिर हमने पूरे विश्व में ज्ञान का प्रसार किया। इसके कारण समग्र संसार आलोकित हो गया। अज्ञान रूपी अंधकार का विनाश हुआ और संपूर्ण सृष्टि के सभी दुख-शोक दूर हो गए।

वाणी की देवी वीणापाणि (सरस्वती) ने इसी पवित्र भूमि पर प्रेम के साथ अपने कमल के समान कोमल करों में वीणा उठाई, उसकी झंकार से सप्तसिंधुओं में सातों स्वरों का मोहक सरगम गूंजने लगा, मधुर संगीत का जन्म हुआ। इसी महान देश में संगीत के वेद सामवेद की रचना हुई।

2. विजय केवल …………………………………… आए थे नहीं।. . .

भारत के लोगों ने शस्त्रों के बल पर देशों को नहीं जीता। यहाँ प्राचीन काल से ही लोगों के मन में धर्म की प्रखर भावना रही है और उन्होंने संसार में धर्म का प्रचार किया। यहाँ गौतम बुद्ध और वर्धमान महावीर जैसे धर्मपुरुष हुए हैं, जिन्होंने विशाल साम्राज्य छोड़कर भिक्षु का स्वरूप धारण किया और घर-घर घूमकर लोगों का कष्ट दूर करने का प्रयास किया, धर्म का प्रचार किया। हमने मोहम्मद गोरी को पराजित करने के बाद भी दयापूर्वक क्षमा कर दिया। हमारे देश से ही चीन को धर्म की दृष्टि मिली। (भारत के महान सम्राट अशोक ने अपने पुत्र महेंद्र और पुत्री संघमित्रा को बौद्ध धर्म के प्रचार के लिए चीन, स्वर्ण भूमि अर्थात जावा और श्रीलंका भेजा) जावा और श्रीलंका के लोगों को पंचशील (अहिंसा, अस्तेय, अपरिग्रह, सत्य, ब्रह्मचर्य आदि) के सिद्धांत मिले।

भारतवासियों ने कभी किसी की संपत्ति या किसी का राज्य छीनने का प्रयास नहीं किया। हमें प्रकृति ने प्रत्येक वस्तु मुक्तहस्त से प्रदान की। प्रकृति की हमारे देश पर महान कृपा रही है। (यहाँ की शस्य श्यामला भूमि, हिमाच्छादित गिरि शिखर, घाटियाँ, वादियाँ, सदानीरा नदियाँ, झरने, फल-फूल, संसाधनों से भरपूर जंगल सभी अनुपम हैं) भारत सदा से हमारी जन्मभूमि है। हम इसी देश की संतानें हैं। हम बाहर के किसी स्थान से आकर यहाँ नहीं बसे हैं। (जैसा कि कुछ विदेशियों का कहना है।)

3. चरित थे पूत …………………………………… प्यारा भारतवर्ष।. . .

भारत के लोग सदा से चरित्रवान रहे हैं। हमारी भुजाओं में भरपूर शक्ति रही है। भारतीयों में वीरता की कभी कमी नहीं रही। साथ ही नम्रता सदा हमारा गुण रहा है। हमने कभी अपनी उपलब्धियों पर घमंड नहीं किया। हमें अपनी सभ्यता और संस्कृति पर गर्व रहा है। हम कभी किसी को दुखी नहीं देख सके। दीन-दुखियों की सेवा करने के लिए हम भारतीय सदैव तत्पर रहते हैं। ‘हम यदि धन और संपत्ति का संग्रह करते भी थे, तो दान के लिए करते थे। दानवीरता भारतीयों का गुण रहा है। हमारे देश में अतिथियों को सदा देवता के समान माना जाता था। भारत के लोग सत्य बोलना अपना धर्म मानते थे। (भारतीय सत्यवादी हरिश्चंद्र की संतानें हैं।) हमारे हृदय में तेज था, गौरव था। हम सदा अपनी प्रतिज्ञा पर अटल रहते थे। प्राण जाए, पर वचन न जाए हमारा जीवनमूल्य रहा है।

आज भी हम भारतीयों की धमनियों में उन्हीं पूर्वजों का रक्त प्रवाहित हो रहा है। आज भी हमारा देश वैसा ही है। आज भी भारतीयों में वैसा ही साहस है। भारतीय आज भी ज्ञान के क्षेत्र में सबसे आगे हैं। आज भी हम पहले के समान शांति के पुजारी हैं। देशवासियों में वैसी ही शक्ति है। हम उन्हीं आर्यों की दिव्य संतानें हैं।

हम जब तक जिएँ, इसी देश के लिए जिएँ। हमें इसकी सभ्यता और संस्कृति पर अभिमान है और हर्ष है कि हमने इस भूमि पर जन्म लिया है। यह हमारा प्यारा भारतवर्ष है। यदि कभी आवश्यकता पड़े, तो इसके लिए अपना सर्वस्व भी न्योछावर कर दें।

भारत महिमा विषय-प्रवेश :

प्रकृति ने हमारे देश भारत की रचना बड़े प्यार से की है। हमारा देश हिमालय की गोद में बसा हुआ है। हमारा देश सबसे पहले जाग्रत हुआ था और इसकी संस्कृति सबसे पुरानी है। प्रस्तुत कविता में छायावाद के प्रवर्तक जयशंकर प्रसाद जी ने हमारे प्यारे देश भारत के इसी महिमामंडित अतीत का मनोरम चित्रण किया है। कवि की आकांक्षा है कि हमें सदैव अपने देश पर, इसकी सभ्यता और संस्कृति पर गर्व करना चाहिए। आवश्यकता पड़ने पर, हमें देश के लिए अपना सर्वस्व न्योछावर कर देने के लिए तत्पर रहना चाहिए।

Maharashtra State Board Class 9 Geography Solutions Chapter 3 Exogenetic Movements Part 1

Class 9 Geography Chapter 3 Exogenetic Movements Part 1 Textbook Questions and Answers

1. Answer in brief.
(a) What is mechanical weathering?
Answer:

1. The disintegration of rocks without any change in their chemical composition is called mechanical weathering.
2. The minerals in the rocks expand because of heat and contract when the temperature decreases. Due to such continuous contracting and expansion, tension develops in the rock particles.
3. Each mineral reacts differently to the temperature; some minerals expand more, while others do not expand as much. Consequently, the tension formed in the rocks also increases and decreases. As a result, cracks develop in the rocks and they break.
4. In areas where the temperatures drop below 0°C for quite some time, the water accumulated in the cracks and crevices in the rocks freezes. Its volume increases which leads to tension in the rocks and they shatter.
5. When the alkaline water of the sea fills in the cracks of the rocks, the soluble minerals in the rock get dissolved leading to the formation of small holes in the rocks.
6. Because of the heat, this water turns into water vapour and only crystals of alkaline materials remain in the rocks. Crystals occupy more space which causes tension in the rock.
7. Sometimes the outer layers of the rocks exert pressure on the inner or lower layers. When this pressure ceases to exist, the lower or inner layers get freed from the pressure. This also leads to weathering.
8. In areas of heavy rainfall soaking of rock water also causes weathering of some rocks like sandstone and conglomerate. When water penetrates such rocks, the particles get loose and separate from the main rock.

(b) What are the main types of chemical weathering?
Answer:
The process of decomposition of rocks due to changes in their chemical composition is called chemical weathering.
Its main types are:
(i) Carbonation

• When the rain water mixes with the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere it leads to the formation of dilute carbonic acid.
• Many rocks like limestone get easily dissolved in such acids.

(ii) Solution

• Some minerals in the rock get dissolved in water.
• Because of this solution, alkalis in the rock dissolve and make them brittle.

(iii) Oxidation

• This process occurs in rocks which have iron present in them. The iron in the rock comes in contact with water and a chemical reaction takes place between iron and oxygen.
• Hence, a reddish coloured layer forms on the rocks. This is called rust.
• It occurs in rocks in areas with high rainfall.

(c) How does biological weathering occur?
Answer:

• It is the process by which rocks are broken into small fragments and fine particles due to the action of plants, animals and human beings.
• The roots of the plants enter the points and ! cracks of the rocks in search of moisture.
• As the roots grow bigger, they create tension in the rocks and start breaking them.
• Animals such as mice, rabbits and rats dig I holes, anthills etc. and weaken the rock, which makes them loose and break into pieces.
• Besides these, algae, moss1, lichen2, other flora grow in the rocks. They also help in weathering.
• Thus, the weathering caused by living organisms is called biological weathering,

Fill the map with the given information and make a legend.
(1) Area affected by a landslide (mudslide) in Maharashtra.
(2) Wadgaon Darya

Give geographical reasons:

Question 1.
Oxidation process occurs in heavy rainfall areas.
Answer:

• The oxidation process occurs in rocks which have iron present in them.
• The iron in the rock comes in contact with water and a chemical reaction takes place between iron and oxygen.
• A reddish coloured layer forms on the rocks.
• Thus, the oxidation process occurs in heavy rainfall areas.

Question 2.
Chemical weathering occurs in areas of heavy rainfall.
Answer:

• The rain water travels through the atmosphere before reaching the ground. Carbon dioxide in the air gets mixed in the water in this process.
• Dilute carbonic acid gets formed. Materials like limestone get easily dissolved in such acids leading to weathering of rocks.
• Some minerals in the rock gets dissolved in water. Limestone is formed due to chemical precipitation between water and alkalis.
  Similarly, because of the solution, alkalis in the rock dissolves and make them brittle.
• Oxidation process occurs in rocks which have iron present in them. The iron in the rock comes in contact with water and a chemical reaction takes place between iron and oxygen.
• Hence, a reddish coloured layer forms on the rocks. This is called rust.

Question 3.
Mechanical weathering3 takes place in the cold regions.
Answer:

• In the cold regions, the temperature drops below 0°C for a period of time.
• The water that has percolated through the cracks in the rocks freezes and turns into ice.
• Ice requires greater space than water. Tension is developed when the ice tries to acquire greater space.
• The continuous process of freezing and melting finally leads to the breaking of the rock mass.

Question 4.
Rapid mass movements occurs along the steep slopes.
Answer:

• A thick layer of weathered material forms on the steep slopes.
• When it rains in such areas, the rainwater penetrates the weathered materials and their weight increases.
• Due to this the weathered materials move very rapidly and come down the steep slopes.

Question 5.
Mechanical weathering is seen in areas where the diurnal range of temperature is high.
OR
Change in temperature leads to Mechanical weathering.
Answer:

• The minerals in the rocks expand because of heat and contract when the temperature decreases.
• Due to such continuous contracting and expanding, tension develops in the rock particles.
• Each mineral reacts differently to the temperature. Some minerals expand more, while others do not expand as much.
• Consequently, the tension formed in the rocks also increases and decreases. As a result, cracks develop in the rocks and they break.
• Thus in areas, where the diurnal range of temperature is higher, mechanical weathering is seen.

Question 6.
Water plays an important role in chemical weathering.
Answer:

• Rock is a mixture of many minerals.
• Since many things get dissolved easily in water, it is considered a universal solvent.
• The solubility1 of the solution increases because the matter gets dissolved in water.
• Water speeds up the process of carbonation, solution and oxidation. These processes lead to the weathering of rocks.
• Thus water plays an important role in chemical weathering.

Question 7.
Frost leads to mechanical weathering.
Answer:

• In areas where the temperatures drop below 0°C for quite some time, the water accumulated in the cracks and crevices in the rocks freezes.
• The volume of water increases on freezing.
• This leads to tension in the rocks and they shatter.
• In this way frost leads to mechanical weathering.

Answer in brief:

Question 1.
What is a mass movement? What are the types of mass movements?
Answer:
The weathered rock materials move along the slopes due to gravity and accumulate near the foothills or the gentler slopes. When the weathered particles move down due to gravity alone, the process is called mass movements.

Types of Mass movements:
(i) Rapid mass movements:

• A thick layer of weathered material forms on the slope. When it rains in such areas, the rain water penetrates the weathered materials and their weight increases.
• The weathered materials move very rapidly and come down the slope.
• Sometimes the weathered materials sink in situ. (Where they are)
• Rockfalls, landslides, land subsidence are ; termed as rapid mass movements.

(ii) Slower mass movements:

• Soil creep is the most common phenomenon in areas with dry climate and gentler slopes.
• In periglacial regions along the soil. This is called as solifluction.

Question 2.
How does external processes occur?
Answer:

• External processes occur because of the forces working on the earth’s surface.
• They are mainly solar energy, gravitational force and kinetic energy associated with the moving objects on the earth’s surface.

Question 3.
What is exfoliation?
Answer:

• In regions of high temperatures, the exposed part of the rock heats more while the inner part is comparatively cooler.
• As a result, the outer layers of the rocks fall apart from the main rock.
• This is called the exfoliation of the rock.

Question 4.
Explain the process of oxidation.
Answer:

• The oxidation process occurs in rocks which have iron present in them.
• The iron in the rock comes in contact with water and a chemical reaction takes place between iron and oxygen.
• Hence, a reddish coloured layer forms on the rocks. This is called rust.

Explain:

Question 1.
Block Disintegration
Answer:

• Sometimes both temperature and water are responsible for weathering.
• The difference in temperature cause contraction and expansion of minerals in the rocks. This leads to widening theoints or cracks in the rocks.
• Water accumulates in such wideouts and big blocks of rocks separate from each other.
• This is called Block Disintegration.

Question 2.
Carbonation
Answer:

• Carbonation is a type of chemical weathering.
• The rainwater travels through the atmosphere before reaching the ground.
• Carbon dioxide in the air gets mixed in the water in this process and dilute carbonic acid gets formed.
• For e.g Water + Carbon Dioxide = Carbonic Acid (H₂O +CO₂ = H₂CO₃)
• Materials like limestone get easily dissolved in such acids.

Question 3.
Solution
Answer:

• Some minerals in the rock get dissolved in water.
• Limestone is formed due to chemical precipitation between water and alkalis.
• At Wadgaon Darya in Ahmadnagar district, limestone gets precipitated chemically i.e. undergoes chemical weathering again.
• Similarly, because of solution, alkalis in the rock dissolve and make them brittle.
