GR 8-Ln1 Matter-Question Bank

This document contains a question bank for an 8th grade chemistry chapter on matter. It lists several key points about the properties and behavior of matter, including that matter is made of particles that are in continuous motion and attract each other. It also defines melting point, boiling point, and evaporation. The question bank then provides 7 sample questions and answers about states of matter, physical properties of liquids, and the effects of heat on particle motion and intermolecular forces.

Grade 8-Chemistry
Chapter 1: Matter

Points to remember:

 The matter is anything that occupies space and has mass.


 The matter is made up of small, tiny particles.
 Particles of matter have space between them and are continuously
moving.
 Particles of matter attract each other.
 The temperature at which a solid melt to become a liquid at the
atmospheric pressure is called its melting point.
 The temperature at which a liquid starts boiling at the atmospheric
pressure is known as its boiling point.
 The phenomenon of changing of a liquid into its vapour state at any
temperature below its boiling point is called evaporation. Evaporation is a
surface phenomenon.
 Particles of matter have intermolecular spaces between them.
 Particles of matter have intermolecular force between them.
 Particles of matter possess kinetic energy due to random motion.
 Matter can change from one state to another on changing the temperature
and pressure.
 The change of state of matter from one form into another is called
interconversion of states of matter.
1. Why are gases compressible but not liquids?
Ans:
Gases are compressible because the intermolecular space is large in
gases, whereas liquids are not compressible because in liquids, the
inter molecular
2. On the basis of kinetic theory explain why ammonium chloride
sublimes and goes from solid-state directly into the vapour
state.
Ans: Ammonium chloride sublimes and goes from solid-state to
vapour state because of the low inter-particle attraction.
The solids which are sublimable have a low force of attraction
between their particles.
3. Explain interconversion of three states of matter with the help
of flow chart. Name the process of each interconversion.
Ans:

4. (a) State the law of conversation of mass.


(b) What do you observe when barium chloride solution is mixed with a
sodium sulphate solution?
Ans:
(a) “Matter can neither be created nor be destroyed in a chemical reaction”. But
we can change it from one form to another.
It can also be stated as, “In a chemical reaction, the total mass of the reactants is
equal to the total mass of the products”.
(b)

5. List any five physical properties of liquids.


Ans:

 Liquids do not have fixed shape or boundaries.

 They have fixed volume.

 They exhibit fluidity i.e., they can flow.


 Less compressible as compared to gases but higher than solids.
 Lower density as compared to solids.
 Compared to solids, liquids have higher kinetic energy but less than
gases.
 The intermolecular forces of attraction are weaker than those of
solids.
 Show the property of intermixing i.e., can diffuse.

6. With reference to the liquid state of matter, answer the following.

1. On heating, the liquid, do the particles gain or lose energy.


2. The heat energy supplied to the liquid is absorbed by its molecule &
stored as which form of energy.
3. How does the stored energy have an effect on inter-particles space?
4. State why the inter-particles attraction decreases to negligible.
5. At what point will the particles become free and escape as a gas.

Ans:

1. The particles gain energy.


2. The heat energy is stored as potential energy.
3. The stored potential energy increases the space between particles.
4. The inter-particles attraction decreased due to the increasing distance
between the particles.
5. The particles become free and escape as a gas at the boiling point.

7. Give the reasons for the following.


1. Particles of matter possess energy called kinetic energy.
2. The Kinetic energy of molecules of gases is very large & solids the least.
3. On heating a sublimable liquid, the molecules break free & escape from
the surface of the solid directly into vapour.
4. Particles of matter move more rapidly on the application of heat.

Ans:

1. The particles of matter are in continuous motion and hence generate


kinetic energy by moving continuously.
2. The inter-particle space is maximum in gases which also results in less
interparticle attraction in molecules of gas. Since the attraction is very
less, the energy possessed is very large.
3. When heated, the attraction between particles of solid is overcome and
they break free and escape the surface of the solid and turn into vapours.
4. When heat is applied to particles of matter, the kinetic energy possessed
by the particles increases and so does the space, therefore they move
more rapidly and freely. The inter-particle attraction also decreases
hence, they move distantly from each other.
