3.  (d) 
Teeth are not present in the alimentary canal of red worms. 
 
4.  (d) 
River is not a form of precipitation as the water does not reach the Earth by this water 
body. All the others are ways by which water reaches the Earth’s surface.

Churning is the process used to separate butter from buttermilk. 
 
6.  (b) 
The liquid obtained after filtration is called the filtrate. 
 
7.  (a) 
A metal surface which is freshly rubbed and cleaned using a sand paper is lustrous. This 
is because all the dust, impurities and substances formed on the surface are removed, 
and the shiny surface of the metal appears. 
 
8.  (b) 
Photosynthesis takes place only during the day. 
 
9.  (d)

i. All aerated drinks contain dissolved carbon dioxide. 
ii. Aquatic animals survive on the oxygen dissolved in water. 
(c) The solubility of gases in water decreases with a rise in temperature. 
During summer season, fishes in shallow ponds die because the water in the pond 
gets warm due to summer heat and as a result, the amount of dissolved oxygen in 
water decreases. 
 
27. Burning of a paper is an irreversible change. During the burning of paper, ash and 
smoke is produced. This ash and smoke cannot be converted back to the original paper, 
so it is a an irreversible change. 
When a small quantity of curd is added to warm milk, the milk is then stirred and kept 
aside for a few hours, it changes into curd. This change involves a chemical reaction, i.e. 
fermentation. This curd cannot be converted back into milk and hence it is an 
irreversible change. 
When water is boiled, it changes into steam. When this steam is cooled, water is formed 
again (condensation). So, the changing of water into steam can be reversed by cooling. 
Thus, boiling of water is a reversible change. 
When coal tar is heated, it melts to form a thick black liquid which is used in making 
and repairing roads. When this hot molten coal tar gets cooled, it solidifies again to 
form coal tar. Hence, the melting of coal tar is a reversible change.

28.  
(a) Sea divers carry oxygen gas cylinders along with them because there is no free 
oxygen in the sea water. The little dissolved oxygen present in water cannot be used 
for breathing by sea divers unlike aquatic animals. 
(b) Activity: Take some water in a glass vessel or a beaker. Heat it slowly using a burner 
on a tripod stand. Before the water begins to boil, look carefully at the inner surface 
of the vessel. Tiny bubbles will be seen on the inside of the vessel. These bubbles are 
of air dissolved in water. 
On heating water, the solubility of air in it decreases due to which air dissolved in 
water escapes in the form of tiny bubbles. This shows that air is dissolved in water.
