Why a wet iron pan often gets rusted if left in that state for some time?
Properties such as shape, size, colour and state of a substance are called its physical properties
A change in which a substance undergoes a change in its physical properties is called a physical change.
A wet iron pan (tawa) often gets rusted if left in that state for some time because iron rust in the presence of oxygen and water.
- 37. Multiple Choice

A change in which a substance undergoes a change in its chemical properties is called a physical change.
- 39. Multiple Choice
What is called a chemical reaction?
A change in which one or more new substances are formed is called a chemical change. A chemical change is also called a chemical reaction.
A change in which two or more new substances are formed is called a chemical change. A chemical change is also called a chemical reaction.
- 40. Multiple Choice
Why a slice of an apple acquires a brown colour if it is not consumed immediately?
A slice of an apple acquires a brown colour if it is not consumed immediately due to the formation of new substances.

- 42. Multiple Choice
Why is spoiling of food a chemical change?whAT IS THE SECOUND SENTANCE
It is a chemical change as it cannot be brought back to its original form.
Spoiling of food is an unwanted quality change in a foodstuff, such as staling, discoloration, the development of off-flavours and odours.
- 43. Multiple Choice
Why explosion of fireworks is a chemical change?
Explosion of a firework is a chemical change because explosion produces heat, light, sound and unpleasant gases and once the crackers are burnt, it cannot be brought back to its original form.
For rusting, the presence of both oxygen and water (or water vapour) is essential. Painting of an iron gate prevents it from coming in contact with oxygen, or water, or both and thus prevents it from rusting.
