All questions of Cycling of Matter for Grade 9 Exam

The correct relationship between picometer and nanometer is
  • a)
    1nm = 1000pm
  • b)
    1nm = 10pm
  • c)
    1pm = 10nm
  • d)
    1pm = 100nm
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Neha Joshi answered
1 picometer = 10-12 m
1 nanometer=10-9 m
So, 1 picometer = 0.001 nanometer .
From this we get 1 nanometer= 1000 picometer.
Hence, the correct answer is Option A.

Which of the following is an element?
  • a)
    Sugar solution
  • b)
    Brass
  • c)
    HCl
  • d)
    Copper metal
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Krishna Iyer answered
Copper is a chemical element with symbol Cu and atomic number 29. It is a soft, malleable, and ductile metal with very high thermal and electrical conductivity.

A pure substance can only be:
  • a)
    A compound
  • b)
    An element
  • c)
    An element or a compound
  • d)
    A heterogeneous mixture
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Pooja Shah answered
A pure substance is a substance in which only one type of atom or molecule is present.
Example: Water, Sulphur, Sucrose(pure), Helium, etc.
Thus, a pure substance can only be an element or a compound.

Formula mass is used for which of the following substances?
  • a)
    Ionic compounds
  • b)
    Molecules
  • c)
    Atoms
  • d)
    Molecular compounds
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Formula mass is used for ionic compounds. Because ionic compounds don't exist as individual molecules hence we take simplest ratio of elements present in that compound so we can't take it as molecular mass. Hence separate name formula mass is given. For example formula mass of NaCl is 23+35.5=58.5

Which of the following is a compound?
  • a)
    Air
  • b)
    Gold
  • c)
    Water
  • d)
    Sulphur
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Water is a compound...
H2O made of more than 1 element hydrogen and oxygen so its compound...

Substances whose two or more components completely mix with each other to make a uniform composition are called:
  • a)
    Ionic compounds
  • b)
    Elements
  • c)
    Heterogeneous mixtures
  • d)
    Homogeneous mixtures
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Anand Kapoor answered
Homogeneous Mixture: Mixtures having a uniform composition throughout their body are called Homogeneous Mixtures.
For example: a mixture of salt and water, a mixture of sugar and water, air, lemonade, soda water, etc. Here, a mixture of salt in water is a classic example. This is because here, the boundary, between salt and water can never be differentiated. When a ray of light is passed through the mixture of salt and water, the path of light is not seen.

Which of the following is a characteristic property of both mixtures and compounds?
  • a)
    Their properties are same as those of their components
  • b)
    Energy is released when they are formed
  • c)
    Their masses are equal to the sum of the masses of their components
  • d)
    They contain the components in fixed proportions
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Jyoti Dey answered
Mixture and a compound both follow the law of conservation of mass so their weight equals the sum of the weights of their components.
compound is a substance made up of two or more elements chemically combined in a fixed proportion by mass. And also compound is formed as a result of chemical reaction between the constituent elements. 

Arsenic is a/an:
  • a)
    Element
  • b)
    Heterogeneous mixture
  • c)
    Homogeneous mixture
  • d)
    Compound
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Arsenic is a chemical element with symbol As and atomic number 33. Arsenic occurs in many minerals, usually in combination with sulfur and metals, but also as a pure elemental crystal. Arsenic is a metalloid. It has various allotropes, but only the gray form, which has a metallic appearance, is important to industry.
