Which of the following are chemical changes?
(a) Growth of a plant
(b) Rusting of iron
(c) Mixing of iron filings and sand
(d) Cooking of food
(e) Digestion of food
(f) Freezing of water
(g) Burning of a candle.
(a). Growth of a plant is a chemical change because at the time of photosynthesis, plants convert sunlight into chemical energy and this is an irreversible process.
(b). Rusting of iron is a chemical change because there is formation of new substance i.e.- Fe2O3, xH2O (Rust).
(c). Mixing of iron filings and sand is a physical change process.
(d). Cooking of food in a chemical change because there is change in chemical composition by supplying heat in addition to some food additives, oil, butter etc.
(e). Digestion of food is à chemical change because the enzyme present in stomach are break large macromolecules into simple molecules.
(f). Freezing of water is a physical change. because there is change in physical state of water notinitis composition.
(g). Burning of a candle is a chemical change because there is emission of CO2 and water vapours during the burning of candles.

State the universal law of gravitation.
Which of the following are matter?

A force of 7 N acts on an object. The displacement is, say 8 m, in the direction of the force (Fig. 11.3). Let us take it that the force acts on the object through the displacement. What is the work done in this case?
How does the sound produced by a vibrating object in a medium reach your ear?
In a reaction, 5.3 g of sodium carbonate reacted with 6 g of ethanoic acid. The products were 2.2 g of carbon dioxide, 0.9 g water and 8.2 g of sodium observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.
sodium carbonate + ethanoic acid → sodium ethanoate + carbon dioxide + water
