Homework (Chemistry)

The document outlines several chemistry activities for students in Class 9. The activities explore the properties of matter in different states - solids, liquids and gases. Students are asked to observe how solids maintain their shape and volume, while liquids flow and take the shape of their containers. Gases are found to spread out fully and exert pressure on the walls of their vessel. The document prompts students to consider edge cases like rubber bands and soluble substances, as well as exceptions like ice floating, in order to understand the distinguishing properties of the three states of matter.

DAWN THE HIGHER SCHOOL AND COLLEGE

HOLIDAY HOMEWORK (2023-2024)


CLASS – IX (CHEMISTRY)
ACTIVITY – 01
• Collect the following articles— a pen, a book, a needle and a piece of wooden
stick.
• Sketch the shape of the above articles in your notebook by moving a pencil
around them.
• Do all these have a definite shape, distinct boundaries and a fixed volume?
• What happens if they are hammered, pulled or dropped?
• Are these capable of diffusing into each other?
• Try compressing them by applying force. Are you able to compress them?
ACTIVITY – 02
• Collect the following : Water, cooking oil, milk, juice, a cold drink.
• Use containers of different shapes. Put a 50 mL mark on these containers.
• What will happen if these liquids are spilt on the floor?
• Measure 50 mL of any one liquid and transfer it into different containers one
by one. Does the volume remain the same?
• Does the shape of the liquid remain the same?
• When you pour the liquid from one container into another, does it flow easily?
ACTIVITY – 03
• Take three 100 mL syringes and close their nozzles by rubber corks, as shown
in figure.
• Remove the pistons from all the syringes.
• Leaving one syringe untouched, fill water in the second and pieces of chalk in
the third.
• Insert the pistons back into the syringes. You may apply some vaseline on the
pistons before inserting them into the syringes for their smooth movement.
• Now, try to compress the content by pushing the piston in each syringe.

• What do you observe? In which case was the piston easily pushed in?
• What do you infer from your observations?
ACTIVITY – 04
• Take two glasses/beakers filled with water.
• Put a drop of blue or red ink slowly and carefully along the sides of the first
beaker and honey in the same way in the second beaker.
• Leave them undisturbed in your house or in a corner of the class.
• Record your observations.
• What do you observe immediately after adding the ink drop?
• What do you observe immediately after adding a drop of honey?
• How many hours or days does it take for the colour of ink to spread evenly
throughout the water?
Consider the following :
1. What about a rubber band, can it change its shape on stretching? Is it a solid?
2. What about sugar and salt? When kept in different jars these take the shape of
the jar. Are they solid?
3. What about a sponge? It is a solid yet we are able to compress it. Why?
Give Reasons :
1. A gas fills completely the vessel in which it is kept.
2. A gas exerts pressure on the walls of the container.
3. A wooden table should be called a solid.
4. We can easily move our hand in air but to do the same through a solid block of
wood we need a karate expert.
5. Liquids generally have lower density as compared to solids. But you must have
observed that ice floats on water. Find out why?
