Matching the process to the type of change:
– A. Heating Camphor: Camphor changes directly from solid to gas upon heating, a process called sublimation. This is a physical change. (A-4)
– B. Cooling of water vapour up to room temperature: Water vapour (gas) changes into liquid water upon cooling, a process called condensation. This is a physical change. (B-3)
– C. Cooking an egg: Cooking an egg involves the denaturation of proteins, which is an irreversible chemical change where new substances with different properties are formed. (C-1)
– D. Formation of water vapour at room temperature: Liquid water changes into water vapour (gas) at room temperature through evaporation. This is a physical change. (D-2)
The correct match is A-4, B-3, C-1, D-2.
– Physical changes alter the form or appearance of a substance but not its chemical composition (e.g., melting, boiling, freezing, condensation, sublimation, dissolution).
– Chemical changes result in the formation of new substances with different chemical properties (e.g., cooking, burning, rusting, digestion).
Sublimation is a less common phase transition where a substance goes directly from solid to gas without passing through the liquid phase. Deposition is the reverse process (gas to solid).
