A mixture of iron nails, salt, oil and water is provided to you. Give stepwise methods to separate each component from this mixture.

A mixture of iron nails, salt, oil and water can be separated by the following steps: Iron nails can be handpicked or remove by magnet by attracting Oil can be removed by decantation method or separating By evaporation method, evaporate the salt and water Hence water can be condensed back leaving behind the salt at the bottom.

Read the story titled “WISE FARMER” and tick the correct option to complete the story. A farmer was sad/happy to see his healthy wheat crop ready for harvest. He harvested the crops and left it under the sun/rain to dry the stalks. To separate the seeds from the bundles of the stalk he handpicked/threshed them. After gathering the seed grains he wanted to separate the stones and husk from it. His wife winnowed/threshed them to separate the husk and later sieved/handpicked to remove stones from it. She ground the wheat grains and sieved/filtered the flour. The wise farmer and his wife got a good price for the flour. Can you tell why?

Solution: Happy Sun Threshed Winnowed Handpicked Sieved The wise farmer and his wife got a good price for the flour because they used correct methods to get good quality of flour.

Both Sarika and Mohan were asked to make salt solution. Sarika was given a teaspoonful of salt and half a glass of water, whereas Mohan was given twenty teaspoons full of salt and half a glass of water. 1. How would they make salt solutions? Who would be able to prepare saturated solution?

Solution: To make a salt solution, mix the salt in water and by continuous stirring results in salt solution. Mohan will be able to prepare saturated solution when some salt will be left undissolved even after mixing the maximum salt in water.

Paheli was feeling thirsty but there was only a pot of water at home which was muddy and unfit for drinking. How do you think Paheli would have made this water fit for drinking if the following materials were available to her. [Alum, tub, muslin cloth, gas stove, thread, pan and lid.]

Solution: With the following materials available: alum, tub, muslin cloth, gas stove, thread, pan and lid Paheli could undertake the following steps to purify water. Firstly, filter the muddy water with the help of muslin Now, tie the piece of alum with thread and submerge it in water for some time and then leave water undisturbed. After some time, the impurities will settle down at the bottom and the water from the top can be decanted. Now boil the decanted water for about 10 minutes in a covered Once it cools down, filter the water. The filtered water is fit for

1. Name and describe briefly a method which can be helpful in separating a mixture of husk from grains. What is the principle of this method?

By using the process of winnowing, husk can be separated from grains. When the mixture is allowed to fall down from a height, the lighter husk is carried away by air and reaming falls on the ground. This method is based on the principle that a mixture with components of different weights, the lighter particles are blown away by wind.

Sheela, Saima and Ravi have to dissolve maximum amount of sugar in the same amount of milk so as to win in a game. Ravi took hot boiling milk while Saima took ice cold milk. Sheela managed to get milk at room temperature. Whom do you think would win the game and why?

The solubility of solids in liquids increases with temperature. Ravi would win the game because he will be able to dissolve maximum amount of sugar in hot boiling milk. Saima will be able to dissolve minimum amount of sugar in ice cold milk. Sheela will be able to dissolve more sugar than Saima since the milk is at room temperature.

Paheli asked for a glass of water from Boojho. He gave her a glass of ice cold water. Paheli observed some water droplets on the outer surface of the glass and asked Boojho how these droplets of water were formed. Which of the following should be Boojho’s answer? (a) Evaporation of water from the glass. (b) Water that seeped out from the glass. (c) Evaporation of atmospheric water vapour. Condensation of atmospheric water vapour.

: Condensation of atmospheric water The droplets of water were formed when the air reaches the surface of ice cold glass, the water vapour of the atmosphere are condensed to form water droplets on the outer surface of glass.

During summer, Boojho carries water in a transparent plastic bottle to his school. One day he left his bottle in the school. The bottle still had some water left in it. The following day, he observed some water droplets on the inner surface of the empty portion of the bottle. These droplets of water were formed due to (a) boiling and condensation (b) evaporation and saturation (c) evaporation and condensation condensation and saturation.

Solution: : evaporation and condensation The water droplets were formed due to high temperature in summers; the water gets heated in plastic bottle and evaporates. This happens because the vapours reaches the lid of the bottle and condense to form water droplets which gets collected on the empty portion of the bottle.
