Detailed Answer Key for Class 10 Science Question Paper

Q1. (A) Choose the correct alternative:

1. The SI unit of heat is Joule (not explicitly found in the textbook).

2. The power of a convex lens with a focal length of 20 cm is +5.0 D (not explicitly found in the textbook).

3. The functional group of carboxylic acids is COOH. Found in periodic table discussions.

4. The periodic law states: "Properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers." (Textbook Reference:

Mendeleev's Law).

5. Tinning is the process of coating a layer of molten tin on metals to prevent corrosion. (Textbook Reference: Surface

Coating Techniques).

(B) Answer the following:

1. The molecular formula of calcium carbonate is CaCO3. (Not explicitly found).

2. Free fall: An object is said to be in free fall when it moves under the influence of gravitational force only. (Textbook

Reference: Gravitation).

3. The hydrocarbon structure CH3-CH3 represents Ethane. (Not explicitly located).

4. Convex lenses are used in magnifying glasses to converge light. (General knowledge).

5. PSLV (Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle) is an example of a satellite launch vehicle. (Textbook Reference: Launch

Vehicles).

Q2. (A) Give scientific reasons:

1. Lemon or tamarind contains acids that dissolve the copper oxide layer formed on vessels. (General chemical

property).

2. High tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon on Earth's water. (Textbook Reference: Gravitation).

3. Elements in the same group have similar chemical properties due to the same valence electrons.

(B) Answer the following (any three):

1. Escape velocity on the moon:

v = sqrt(2GM/R)

= sqrt(2 * 6.67 x 10^-11 * 7.34 x 10^22 / 1.74 x 10^6)

approximately 2.38 km/s (Textbook Reference: Gravitation).

2. Differences between mass and weight:

- Mass: Amount of matter in a body (kg), constant everywhere.

- Weight: Force due to gravity (N), varies with location. (Conceptual reference).

3. Electroplating: A less reactive metal like gold or chromium is deposited on objects to improve appearance or prevent

corrosion. (Textbook Reference: Electroplating Techniques).

4. Refraction of light: Bending of light rays when passing between media of different refractive indices. (Textbook

Reference: Refraction).

Q3. (Answer any five)

1. Centripetal force: A force that acts towards the center in circular motion. Example: Earth's gravity keeps the moon in

orbit. (Textbook Reference: Circular Motion).

2. Factors affecting chemical reaction rate:

- Temperature: Higher temperature increases reaction rate.

- Concentration: More concentration leads to more collisions.

- Catalyst: Lowers activation energy. (Textbook Reference: Reaction Rate).

3. Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation:

Every particle attracts another particle with a force directly proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to

the square of the distance between them. (Textbook Reference: Gravitation).

4. Periodic table:

- Groups: Columns showing similar properties (e.g., alkali metals).

- Periods: Rows with increasing atomic numbers. (Textbook Reference: Elements Classification).

- Conductivity in molten state.

- Solubility in polar solvents like water. (Textbook Reference: Ionic Properties).

6. Kepler's Laws: (Not explicitly found). General knowledge applies:

- Planets orbit the sun in elliptical paths.

- Equal area swept in equal time intervals.

- Orbital period squared distance cubed.

Q4. Solve (any one):

1. Convex lens diagram shows refraction of parallel light rays meeting at the focal point. (Diagram reference missing).

2. Satellite Launch Vehicle: Used for placing satellites in orbit. Examples include PSLV. Construction includes payload,

guidance system, and propulsion. (Textbook Reference: Launch Vehicles).
