Assertion and Reason based questions

Directions: In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a


statement of reason (R). Mark the correct choice as:
(a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct explanation
of assertion (A).
(b) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true but reason (R) is not the correct
explanation of assertion (A).
(c) Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.
(d) Assertion (A) is false but reason (R) is true.

Q.1. Assertion : When a beam of light is passed through a colloidal solution placed in a dark
place the path of the beam becomes visible.
Reason : Light gets scattered by the colloidal particles.
Answer (a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct
explanation of assertion (A).

Q.2. Assertion : A mixture of benzoic acid and naphthalene can be separated by


crystallization from water.
Reason : Benzoic acid is soluble in hot water but naphthalene is insoluble in hot water.
Answer (a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct
explanation of assertion (A).

Q.3. Assertion : A solution of table salt in a glass of water is homogeneous.


Reason : A solution having different composition throughout is homogeneous.
Answer (c) Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.

Q.4. Assertion : A mixture of sugar and benzoic acid can be separated by shaking with ether.
Reason : Sugar is insoluble in water.
Answer (c) Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.

Q.5. Assertion : In sublimation, a substance changes directly from solid to vapour without
passing through
liquid state and vice-versa.
Reason : Distillation involves two processes i.e., vaporisation and condensation.
Answer (b) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true but reason (R) is not the correct
explanation of assertion (A).

case study questions


1. A group of students took an old shoe box and covered it with a black paper from all sides.
They fixed a source of light (a torch) at one end of the box by making a hole in it and made
another hole on the other side to view the light. They placed a milk sample contained in a
tumbler in the box as shown in the figure below. They were amazed to see that milk taken in
the tumbler was illuminated. They tried the same activity by taking a salt solution but found
that light simply passed through it.

Read the given passage carefully and give the answer of the following questions:
Q 1. Explain why the milk sample was illuminated? Name the phenomenon involved.
Q2. Same results were not observed with a salt solution. Explain.
Q 3. Can you suggest two more solutions which would show the same effect as shown by the
milk solution?
Q 4. Give one example of above phenomenon observed in our surroundings.
ANSWERS-
1. Because milk is a colloidal solution and would show Tyndall effect.
2. Salt solution is a true solution and would not scatter light.
3. Soap solution and ink solution.
4. Tyndall effect is observed when sunlight passes through the canopy of a dense forest.

2. Read the passage and answer any four questions:


Gases are highly compressible as compared to solids and liquids. The liquefied petroleum gas
(LPG) cylinder that we get in our home for cooking or the oxygen supplied to hospitals in
cylinders is compressed gas. Compressed natural gas (CNG) is used as fuel these days in
vehicles. The liquid takes up the shape of the container in which they are kept. Liquids flow
and change shape, so they are not rigid but can be called fluid. Solids and liquids can diffuse
into liquids. The aquatic animals can breathe underwater. The rate of diffusion of liquids is
greater than solid.
1. Why Compressed natural gas (CNG) is used as fuel these days in vehicles?
a) due to its high compressibility
b) large volumes of a gas can be compressed into a small cylinder
c) transported easily
d) all of these

2. liquids have no fixed _______ but have a fixed________ .


a) shape, volume
b) volume, shape
c) shape, size
d) size, shape

3. The aquatic animals can breathe underwater due to


a) the presence of dissolved carbon dioxide in water
b) the presence of dissolved oxygen in the water
c) the presence of dissolved Nitrogen in the water
d) all of these

4. The rate of diffusion of liquids is greater than solid due to


a) liquid particles move freely
b) liquid have greater space between each other
c) both (a) and (b)
d) none of these

5. The property of flow is unique to fluids. Which one of the following statements is
correct?
a) Only gases behave like fluids
b) Gases and solids behave like fluids
c) Gases and liquids behave like fluids
d) Only liquids are fluids
Answer Key:
1. (d) all of these
2. (a) shape, volume
3. (b) the presence of dissolved oxygen in the water
4. (c) both (a) and (b)
5. (c) Gases and liquids behave like fluids
