Properties of matter can be broadly classified into two categories:
-Physical properties, these usually involve a change in the state of matter
-Chemical properties. these involve a change in the chemical composition of matter.
Now, physical properties can be further classified as:
Extensive: these depend on the amount of the substance, eg: mass, volume
Intensive: these do not depend on the amount of the substance eg: density, color, melting point, boiling point
A physical property that does not describe a change in state is color. For example: copper sulfate is a compound which is a blue in color. Thus, color provides information which describes the appearance of matter. In contrast, properties like melting or boiling point suggests a change in the state of the substance.
This is false because it doesn't matter about the mass
Answer:
C. If Assertion is true statement but Reason is false.
Explanation:
The burning of magnesium in air produces magnesium oxide as shown by the equation;
2Mg(s) + O2(g) -----> 2MgO(s)
The magnesium oxide solid is recovered as a white ash. This is a typical example of an oxidation reaction which is also a combustion reaction.
The reason has nothing at all to do with the assertion hence the answer given.
Magnesium oxide is basic just like the oxides of other metals and dissolves in water to yield an alkali.
Answer: The mowed lawn is the one from where the grasses are removed by using the machines or tools.
Explanation:
The mowed lawn is expected to have low number of species as the grasses may be few or scanty thus can support the population of few species like insects, mice, birds, and small number of grazing animals. On the other hand the weedy field can be hub of insects, reptiles like snakes, small mammals, and large mammals. Large weed field can provide food, and habitat to the large number of species. This will support the increase in biodiversity as compared to the mowed lawn.
