can be recovered. Hence, process II is also a
reversible change.
4. A process where a change can be reversed is called
a reversible process. A process where a change
cannot be reversed is called an irreversible process.
When a matchstick is burnt, ash and gases are
produced. Thus, the formation of new substances
takes place. These new substances cannot be
converted back into the original substance. Hence,
the burning of a matchstick is an irreversible process.
5. On heating, the iron ring becomes slightly larger and
the handle easily fits into the ring. Thus, the iron ring
expands on heating and the process is called
expansion.
On cooling, the iron ring contracts to its original size.
Hence, the ring tightly fits inside the handle. As the
iron ring contracts on cooling, the process is called
contraction.
Changes that can be reversed are called reversible
changes. When the iron ring is heated, it expands in
size. On the other hand when the iron ring is cooled,
it comes back to its original size. Hence, it is a
reversible process.
6. Steam is formed when water starts boiling. The
changing of a liquid into a vapour at any temperature
below its boiling point is called evaporation. Water is
said to be boiling once the boiling point has been
attained.
7. Water drops are formed due to the process of
condensation. Water vapour (from the spout of the
kettle) when exposed to the cold plate loses energy
and changes to liquid water.
8. The process of a change in state of matter of a
substance from a solid to a liquid is called melting.
During the melting of ice cream, no new substance
is formed, only a change in state of ice from a solid
to a liquid takes place. The liquid substance formed
by melting of ice cream can be converted back into
solid ice cream by cooling it. Hence, melting of an
ice cream is an example of a reversible change.
9. The changes that can be reversed are called reversible
changes, and the changes that cannot be reversed
are called irreversible changes.
Burning of wood, sawing of a piece of wood, and
ripening of fruits are irreversible changes as the
substances obtained as a result of these changes
cannot be converted back into the original substance.
Hence, I, IV,  and V are  irreversible  changes.
10. The changes that can be reversed are called reversible
changes, and the changes that cannot be reversed
are called irreversible changes.

When ice melts, it changes into water. This water
can be converted into ice by cooling it. Hence, melting
of ice is a reversible change. On the other hand, milk
cannot be obtained once it has gone sour. Hence,
souring of milk is an irreversible change.
11. When food is cooked, new substances are formed.
These new substances cannot be converted back into
the original substance. Thus, cooking of food is an
irreversible change. Hence, it is listed incorrectly in
the table.
12. Melting is the process of phase change in which a
substance changes from its solid state to its liquid
state by absorbing heat. This process can be reversed
by freezing the liquid.
Boiling is the process of phase change in which a
substance changes from its liquid state to its gaseous
state by absorbing heat. The process can be reversed
by condensing the gas.
Hence, melting and boiling are reversible changes.
13. When sugar is burnt, it is converted to carbon and
water vapour. Sugar cannot be obtained from carbon
and water vapour, i.e., the change is irreversible.
Thus, the process of burning of sugar is incorrectly
listed in the given table.
14. In the given figure, process I is the melting of ice to
form water, while process II is the evaporation of
water to form steam.
15. After preparing dough by adding water, the flour
cannot be obtained back from the dough. Hence,
process I is  irreversible.
On the other hand, dough can be obtained back after
a roti has been rolled. Hence, process II is reversible.

HINTS/ ANSWERS TO THE SELECTED
QUESTIONS
1. When a substance is heated, its constituent particles
move more vigorously. As a result, the average
distance between the particles increases and the
substance expands. Thus, during summers, the joints
of a bridge expand and become loose.
2. The changes that can be reversed are called reversible
changes and the changes that cannot be reversed
are called irreversible changes.
Changes around us
When ice melts, it changes into water. The water
obtained in this process can be converted back into
ice by cooling it. Therefore, melting of ice is a
reversible change.
3. Changes that can be reversed are called reversible
changes. Changes that cannot be reversed are called
irreversible changes.
When food is cooked, new substances are produced.
The cooked food cannot be converted back into the
raw material. Hence, cooking of food is an irreversible
change. Similarly, digested food cannot be converted
back into the form in which it was eaten. Hence,
digestion of food is also an irreversible change.
4. Changes that can be reversed are called reversible
changes. Changes that cannot be reversed are called
irreversible changes.
During souring of milk, new substances are formed
and those new substances cannot be converted back
into the original substance. Hence, souring of milk is
an irreversible change. Hence, it is listed incorrectly
in the table.
5. An irreversible change is defined as the change in
which the product formed cannot be converted back
into the original substance.
Biogas is formed by cow dung through chemical
processes. Once the gas is formed, it cannot be
converted back into cow dung. Hence, the change is
irreversible.
6. Changes that can be reversed are called reversible
changes and changes that cannot be reversed are
called irreversible changes.
When a piece of paper is torn, smaller pieces are
obtained. These smaller pieces cannot be joined again
to form the original sheet of water. Hence, it is an
irreversible change. Burning a piece of paper leads
to formation of ash. Since paper cannot be obtained
back in the process, it is also an irreversible change.
Burning of candle leads to consumption of wax with
the formation of carbon dioxide and water vapours
along with some smoke. A candle cannot be obtained
back from these substances. Therefore, burning of
candle is an irreversible change.
A rolled roti can be converted back into dough while
water formed as a result of melting of ice can be
converted back to ice by freezing. Hence, these
changes are reversible in nature.
7. Changes that can be reversed are called reversible
changes. Changes that cannot be reversed are called
irreversible changes.
When we mix cement in water, the mixture hardens
up. From this mixture, cement and water cannot be
obtained back. Hence, it is an example of an
irreversible change.

Similarly, rusting of iron is an irreversible change.
Once a part of any iron substance gets rusted, it is
not possible to obtain back that iron part.
Souring of milk is a result of bacterial actions with
milk. Milk, once soured, cannot be converted back
into the original substance. Hence, souring of milk is
an irreversible change.
8. Ice melts on heating and changes into water. The
change is reversible because on cooling it to a low
temperature, water can again be converted into ice.
Hence, process I is a reversible change.
On adding salt to water, it dissolves in water. When
this solution is heated, water evaporates leaving
behind salt. Thus, on heating the salt solution, salt
can be recovered. Hence, process II is also a
reversible change.
9. Melting is the process in which a solid gets converted
into its liquid state.
During melting of chocolate, the chemical
composition of the chocolate undergoing change
remains the same. Only its state is changed from a
solid to a liquid. Liquid chocolate formed on melting
can be converted back into its solid state by cooling
it. Hence, melting of chocolate is a reversible change
and is listed incorrectly in the table.
10. Changes that can be reversed are called reversible
changes. Changes that cannot be reversed are called
irreversible changes.
When we mix cement in water, the mixture hardens
up. From this mixture, cement and water cannot be
obtained back. Hence, it is an example of an
irreversible change.
Similarly, rusting of iron is an irreversible change.
Once a part of any iron substance gets rusted, it is
not possible to obtain back that iron part.
Souring of milk is a result of bacterial actions with
milk. Milk, once soured, cannot be converted back
into the original substance. Hence, souring of milk is
an irreversible change.
11. During the boiling of an egg, a new substance is
formed as the chemical bonds present in the egg
break. A boiled egg cannot be converted back into a
raw egg by any physical or chemical process. Hence,
the boiling of egg is an irreversible process.
12. After preparing dough by adding water, the flour
cannot be obtained back from the dough. Hence,
process I is  irreversible.
On the other hand, dough can be obtained back after
a roti has been rolled. Hence, process II is reversible.
13. On heating, the iron ring becomes slightly larger and
the handle easily fits into the ring. Thus, the iron ring
expands on heating and the process is called
expansion.
On cooling, the iron ring contracts to its original size.

Hence, the ring tightly fits inside the handle. As the

iron ring contracts on cooling, the process is called
contraction.
Changes that can be reversed are called reversible
changes. When the iron ring is heated, it expands in
size. On the other hand when the iron ring is cooled,
it comes back to its original size. Hence, it is a
reversible process.
14. Reversible changes are the changes that can be
reversed and irreversible changes are the changes
that cannot be reversed.
Expansion of a steel rim is a reversible change
because a steel rim expands on heating and contracts
to its original size on cooling.
Melting of ice-cream is also a reversible change
because the original ice-cream can be obtained back
on cooling.
Hence, IV and V are  reversible  changes.
15. Solids increase in volume on heating. Hence, on being
heated, the wire expands and sags down in the middle.
