उत्तर:
मनुष्य के शरीर में विभिन्न अंग होते हैं और वे अपनाअपना निर्धारित काम करते हैं। कुछ अंगों से निर्धारित कामों के अलावा और भी कई तरह के काम लिए जाते हैं। आँखें हमारे शरीर का महत्त्वपूर्ण अंग हैं। इनसे देखने का काम तो लिया ही जाता है, साथ ही साथ और भी कई काम लिए जाते हैं। आँखों से तरह-तरह के इशारे किए जाते हैं, जिन्हें सामनेवाला आदमी आसानी से समझ लेता है। आँखें तरेरकर क्रोध प्रकट किया जाता है।

मन Summary in Hindi

मन कविता का सरल अर्थ

1. घना अंधेरा ……………………………. आई बहार।

जब अँधेरा घना होता है, तब प्रकाश और अधिक चमकता है अर्थात जब प्रतिकूल परिस्थितियाँ घने अंधकार के रूप में हमें घेर लेती हैं, तब वहीं से एकाएक प्रकाश की किरणें फूट पड़ती हैं।

हमें पूरा जीवन काम करते रहना चाहिए। यह नहीं सोचना चाहिए कि हमें क्या प्राप्त होगा।

जीवन रूपी नैया यदि संसार रूपी सागर में डगमगा रही है, तो उसे कोई अन्य सँभालने के लिए नहीं आएगा। हमें स्वयं उसे पार लगाने के लिए प्रयास करना होगा।

फागुन का महीना अपने संग बसंत के विविध रंग लेकर आया है। यह समय उल्लास और उमंग का समय है। अतः हम सभी को कुछ समय के लिए चिंताओं और परेशानियों को भूलकर बसंत ऋतु का आनंद लेना चाहिए।

गुलाब का फूल काँटों के बीच भी हंसता है, खिलखिलाता है। वह हमें हर पल प्रेरणा देता है कि परेशानियों से घबराए बिना अपना काम करते जाना है।

जब नेत्रों से अश्रु बहते हैं, तो यह मानना चाहिए कि मन की कुंठा नयन रूपी द्वार से बाहर आ रही है।

2. खारे जल ……………………………. प्यासी ही रही। . . .

जब नेत्रों से अश्रु बहते हैं तो यह समझना चाहिए कि आँसुओं के खारे जल के साथ मन का संपूर्ण विषाद धुल गया है और मन पहले के समान पावन हो गया है।

प्रत्येक मनुष्य के जीवन में अनेक परेशानियाँ हैं, चिंताएँ हैं, और हैं अप्रिय प्रसंग। ऐसे में जीवन रूपी संग्राम में डटे रहना हमारी जिजीविषा का प्रमाण है।

जब आकाश में बादल बहुत घने होते हैं, तभी वर्षा होती है। उसी प्रकार जब मन की पीड़ा बहुत गहरी हो जाती है, तो वह बादल बनकर आँसुओं के रूप में बरसने लगती है।

रेल की पटरियाँ अनंत काल से साथ चल रही हैं, परंतु वे सदा मौन रहती हैं। एक-दूसरे से कभी बात नहीं करती।

सितारे आकाश का शृंगार हैं। वे आकाश की शोभा बढ़ाते हैं। जैसे ही सितारे बादलों की ओट में छिपे, आकाश सूना हो जाता है। ठीक इसी प्रकार कुछ लोग हमारे जीवन में अत्यंत महत्त्वपूर्ण होते हैं। उनके चले जाने पर या विमुख हो जाने पर मानो हमारा जीवन निरर्थक हो जाता है।

कवि के अंदर अनोखी सामर्थ्य होती है। वह जिन गीतों को स्वर देता है, वे अमर हो जाते हैं। इसी प्रकार कवि अपनी रचनाओं के द्वारा समाज में परिवर्तन ला सकता है।

सागर में अथाह जलराशि होती है, परंतु खारा होने के कारण अथाह होने पर भी वह जलराशि पीने योग्य नहीं होती। उसी प्रकार कोई व्यक्ति कितना भी बड़ा या धनवान क्यों न हो, यदि वह किसी जरूरतमंद के काम नहीं आ सकता तो उसका बड़प्पन व्यर्थ है।

मन विषय-प्रवेश:

प्रस्तुत कविता ‘मन’ जापान की लोकप्रिय विधा हाइकु’ पर आधारित है। यह विधा हिंदी साहित्य में स्वीकृति पा चुकी है। इस विधा को विश्व की सबसे छोटी कविता का स्थान प्राप्त है। इस कविता में कवि ने तीन-तीन छोटी पंक्तियों में अलग-अलग घटनाओं को सुंदर ढंग से पिरोया है। प्रस्तुत कविता की यह अपनी विशेषता है।

प्रश्न 7.
अभिव्यक्ति- मरीज से मिलने जाते समय कौन-कौन-सी सावधानियां बरतनी चाहिए, लिखिए।
उत्तर:
प्राय: सभी को कभी-न-कभी मरीजों से मिलने अस्पताल में जाना पड़ता है। मरीज से मिलने जाते समय कुछ सावधानियाँ बरतना अत्यंत आवश्यक है। मरीज से मिलने जाते समय हमें इस बात का ध्यान रखना चाहिए कि हमारी वजह से उसे कोई कष्ट न पहुँचे। बच्चे चुलबुले होते हैं। इसलिए मरीज के पास बच्चों को नहीं लेकर जाना चाहिए। बीमारी में दवा और पथ्य के साथ मरीज को आराम व अच्छी नींद आवश्यक है।

अत: मरीज के पास ज्यादा देर तक बैठना, जोर-जोर से बोलना, मरीज की बीमारी के बारे में नकारात्मक बातें करना आदि उचित नहीं है। जहाँ तक हो सके, मरीज का उत्साह बढ़ाना चाहिए। अस्पताल में डॉक्टर मरीज को उसकी आवश्यकता के अनुसार दवाएँ देते हैं। इसलिए मरीज से देसी नुस्खे आजमाने की बातें नहीं करनी चाहिए और न ही डॉक्टर की दवा के बारे में रोगी के मन में किसी तरह का भ्रम पैदा करना चाहिए।

गांधी जयंती पर गांधी जी का स्मरण
अकोला, 3 अक्तूबर। अकोला के सरदार पटेल विद्यालय में कल 2 अक्तूबर को गांधी जयंती समारोह का आयोजन किया गया। विद्यालय में समारोह सुबह 10 बजे आयोजित किया जाना था। विद्यालय के विद्यार्थी 9 बजे से ही अपने-अपने स्थान पर बैठ गए थे।

विद्यालय के सभी अध्यापक मंच पर खादी का कुर्ता-पाजामा और खादी टोपी पहनकर विराजमान थे। प्रमुख अतिथि के रूप में शहर के वयोवृद्ध गांधीवादी जनार्दन पाटील उपस्थित थे। मंच पर गांधी जी की तस्वीर सुशोभित हो रही थी।

समारोह की शुरुआत ‘वंदे मातरम्’ गीत से हुई। विद्यालय के प्रधानाचार्य राम रतन जोशी ने उपस्थित लोगों का परिचय दिया और देश के लिए गांधी जी के योगदान की चर्चा की।

प्रमुख अतिथि जनार्दन पाटील ने गांधी जी के जीवन की कई घटनाओं के बारे में बताया। उन्होंने गांधी जी के हमेशा सत्य बोलने के आग्रह के बारे में बताया और कहा कि हमें सत्य के मार्ग पर चलना चाहिए। अपने लाभ के लिए कभी झूठ का सहारा नहीं लेना चाहिए।

विद्यालय के उपमुख्याध्यापक सुधीर देशपांडे ने प्रमुख अतिथि के प्रति आभार व्यक्त किया।

राष्ट्रगान के साथ समारोह का समापन हुआ।

प्रश्न.
सार्वजनिक अस्पतालों में मरीजों को होने वाली परेशानियों के विषय में अपने विचार लिखिए।
उत्तर:
देश में अनगिनत निजी अस्पताल हैं, परंतु देश की आधी से अधिक गरीब जनता सार्वजनिक अस्पतालों पर ही निर्भर है। इन अस्पतालों की हालत बहुत दयनीय है। इन अस्पतालों की एक्स-रे आदि मशीनों का कोई ठिकाना नहीं होता। गरीबों को वहाँ इलाज के स्थान पर तकलीफ ही मिलती है। सार्वजनिक अस्पतालों में समय पर डॉक्टर नहीं मिलते। डॉक्टर यदि मिल भी जाता है, तो दवाइयाँ नहीं मिलती।

इसलिए मरीजों को महँगे दामों पर बाहर से दवाएँ खरीदने को बाध्य होना पड़ता है। इसके अलावा डॉक्टर के साथ-साथ अस्पताल के कर्मचारियों का व्यवहार भी रोगियों के प्रति बहुत खराब होता है। ऐसे में इन अस्पतालों में मरीज का ढंग से इलाज नहीं हो पाता। इसलिए लोग इन अस्पतालों में जाने से कतराते हैं।

कृति 4: (स्वमत अभिव्यक्ति)

प्रश्न.
‘शकुन-अपशकुन’ के बारे में अपने विचार लिखिए।
उत्तर:
शकुन-अपशकुन समाज में प्रचलित एक अवधारणा है। इसमें यह माना जाता है कि कुछ विशेष प्रकार की परिघटनाएँ हमारे भविष्य का संकेत देती हैं। अनुकूल भविष्यवाणी करने वाले संकेतों को शुभ शकुन और प्रतिकूल भविष्यवाणी करने वाले संकेतों को अपशकुन कहा जाता है। हमारे देश में ही नहीं, अपितु संसार भर में लोग शकुन-अपशकुन पर विश्वास करते हैं। भारतीय संस्कृति में शकुन-अपशकुन का वर्णन वेदों, पुराणों और धार्मिक ग्रंथों में भी मिलता है।

काली बिल्ली द्वारा रास्ता काट जाना, किसी कार्य को आरंभ करते समय किसी का छींक देना, घर से बाहर जाते हुए व्यक्ति को किसी के द्वारा टोका जाना आदि समाज में बहुप्रचलित अपशकुन हैं। इन अपशकुनों को मानने वालों की संख्या कम नहीं है। इन अपशकुनों के चक्कर में आकर कभी-कभी लोगों को हानि भी उठानी पड़ती है, फिर भी वे इन्हें मानने से नहीं चूकते। ये मान्यताएँ मनुष्य को कमजोर बनाती हैं। वैज्ञानिक दृष्टि से इन शकुन-अपशकुनों को अंधविश्वास ही माना जाता है।

प्रश्न.
कवियों की कविता सुनाने की आदत के बारे में अपने विचार लिखिए।
उत्तर:
कवि दो प्रकार के होते हैं। एक वे, जो सचमुच कवि होते हैं और अपने विचारों को मथकर उन्हें सुंदर और सुरुचिपूर्ण शब्दों के माध्यम से कागज पर उतारते हैं। उनकी कविता सुनकर श्रोता को आनंद के साथ-साथ एक दिशा भी मिलती है। दूसरे प्रकार के कवि वे होते हैं, जो अंत:करण से कवि नहीं होते। वे जबरन कवि बनकर कविता लिखना चाहते हैं। इनकी कविता कविता न होकर शब्दों का बेतरतीब समूह होती है।

जोड़-तोड़कर कविता तैयार करते ही ये श्रोता की तलाश करने लगते हैं और जो भी सामने मिल जाता है, उसे अपनी कविता सुनाए बिना नहीं छोड़ते। इनकी कविता सुनने के लिए कोई आसानी से तैयार नहीं होता। पर विद्वान कवि कभी अपनी कविता सुनाने की कोशिश नहीं करते। उनकी कविता सारगर्मित होती है और वे हर किसी को कविता सुनाते नहीं फिरते।

प्रत्यारोपण के लिए गुर्दे, लिवर, फेफड़े, हृदय, हड्डियाँ, अस्थि मज्जा, त्वचा, अग्न्याशय, कॉर्निया, आँत आदि का दान दिया जाता है। अंगदान की प्रक्रिया को दुनिया भर में प्रोत्साहित किया जाता है। भारत में यह कानूनन वैध है। अंगदान समाज के लिए एक चमत्कार साबित हुआ है। हालाँकि माँग की तुलना में आपूर्ति बहुत कम है।

वाह रे! हमदर्द Summary in Hindi

वाह रे! हमदर्द विषय-प्रवेश :

अस्पताल में इलाज के लिए भर्ती हुए मरीज को देखने जाने की परंपरा समाज में पुरानी है। इससे मरीज को खुशी होती है और कुछ समय के लिए उसका ध्यान अपने कष्ट से हट जाता है। पर कुछ मिलने वाले ऐसे होते हैं, जो मरीज के लिए परेशानी का कारण बन जाते हैं। प्रस्तुत हास्य-व्यंग्यात्मक निबंध में लेखक ने दुर्घटना के माध्यम से एक ऐसी ही स्थिति का चित्रण किया है। निबंध में जहाँ एक ओर समाज में विद्यमान परोपकार की भावना पर प्रकाश डाला गया है, वहीं दूसरी ओर बड़े ही रोचक ढंग से हमदर्द लोगों की मानसिकता को भी चित्रित किया गया है। कभी-कभी हमदर्दी भी रोगी की मानसिक पीड़ा का कारण बन जाती है।

वाह रे! हमदर्द मुहावरे – अर्थ

  • ड़ाना – बाधा डालना।
  • काँप उठना – भयभीत होना।

अलमारी, गिलहरी, चावल के पापड़, छोटा बच्चा
उत्तर:
जीव दया
एक गाँव में एक छोटा बच्चा रहता था। उसका नाम चिंटू था। एक दिन चिंटू अपने घर के बाहर खेल रहा था। उसने देखा कि सामने एक पेड़ के नीचे दो-तीन कौए किसी चीज पर चोंच मार रहे हैं और वहाँ से हल्की-हल्की चर्ची-चीं की आवाज आ रही है। चिंटू दौड़कर वहाँ पहुँचा और उसने उन कौओं को वहाँ से उड़ाया। उसने देखा कि एक छोटी-सी गिलहरी वहाँ ची-चीं कर रही थी। उसका शरीर कौओं की चोंच से घायल हो गया था। चिंटू ने अपनी जेब से रूमाल निकाला और डरे बिना धीरे से गिलहरी को उठा लिया। उसने घर के अंदर लाकर उसे पानी पिलाया, उसके घावों को साफ करके उन पर सोफामाइसिन लगाई और उसे मेज पर बैठा दिया।

गिलहरी कुछ देर बाद धीरे-धीरे मेज पर घूमने लगी। मेज पर एक प्लेट में चावल के पापड़ रखे थे। गिलहरी ने एक पापड़ उठाया और अपने अगले दोनों पंजों में पकड़कर धीरे-धीरे उसे खाने लगी। चिंटू को बहुत अच्छा लगा। उसने माँ से पूछा कि जब तक गिलहरी बिलकुल ठीक नहीं हो जाती क्या मैं उसे अपने पास रख सकता हूँ। अभी अगर वह बाहर जाएगी तो कौए उसे अपना आहार बना लेंगे। माँ को चिंटू की ऐसी सोच पर गर्व हुआ और उन्होंने खुशी-खुशी उसकी बात मान ली। चिंटू ने अपनी किताबों की खुली आलमारी के एक खाने में एक तौलिया बिछाकर गिलहरी को बैठा दिया। उसके पास चावल के कुछ पापड़ तथा अमरूद के कुछ टुकड़े रख दिए। तीन-चार दिन बाद जब गिलहरी अच्छी तरह दौड़ने लगी तो चिंटू ने उसे बाहर पेड़ पर छोड़ दिया।

सीख: हमें पशु-पक्षियों के प्रति दया भाव रखना चाहिए।

गिरिधर नागर Summary in Hindi

गिरिधर नागर कविता का सरल अर्थ

1. मेरे तो गिरधर गोपाल …………………………….. तारो अब मोही।।

गिरि को धारण करने वाले, गायों के पालक कृष्ण के सिवा मेरा और कोई नहीं है। जिनके मस्तक पर मोर का मुकुट शोभित है, वे ही मेरे पति हैं। उनके लिए मैंने कुल की मर्यादा छोड़ दी है। चाहे कोई मुझे कुछ भी कहे। संतों के साथ बैठ-बैठकर मैंने लोकलाज त्याग दी है। मैंने अपने प्रेम रूपी बेल को अपने अश्रु रूपी जल से सींच-सींचकर बड़ा किया है। अब तो यह प्रेम-बेल फैल गई है और इसमें आनंद रूपी फल लगने लगा है। मैंने दूध जमाने के पात्र में जमे दही को मथानी से बड़े प्रेम से बिलोया और उसमें से कृष्ण-प्रेम रूपी मक्खन को निकाल लिया। शेष छाछ रूपी निस्सार जगत को छोड़ दिया। कृष्ण-भक्तों को देखकर मैं प्रसन्न होती हूँ, परंतु संसार का व्यवहार देख मुझे दुख होता है और मैं रो पड़ती हूँ। हे गिरधरलाल, मीरा तो आपकी दासी है, उसे इस संसार रूपी भव-सागर से पार लगाओ।

2. हरि बिन कूण गती मेरी …………………………….. मैं सरण हूँ तेरी।।

हे हरि, आपके बिना मेरा कौन है? अर्थात आपके सिवा मेरा कोई ठिकाना नहीं है। आप ही मेरा पालन करने वाले हैं और मैं आपकी दासी हूँ। मैं रात-दिन, हर समय आपका ही नाम जपती रहती हूँ। मैं बार-बार आपको पुकारती हूँ, क्योंकि मुझे आपके दर्शनों की तीव्र लालसा है। यह संसार विभिन्न प्रकार के दोषों और विकारों से भरा हुआ सागर है, जिसके बीच में घिर गई हैं। इस संसार रूपी सागर में मेरी नाव टूट गई है। हे प्रभु, आप शीघ्र इस नाव का पाल बाँधिए, अन्यथा यह जीवन-नौका इस संसार-सागर में डूब जाएगी। हे प्रियतम, आपकी यह विरहिणी निरंतर आपकी बाट जोहती रहती है। आपके आगमन की प्रतीक्षा करती रहती है। आपकी यह दासी मीरा सदा आपके नाम का स्मरण करती रहती है और आपकी शरण में आई है।

3. फागुन के दिन चार …………………………….. चरण कँवल बलिहार रे।।

हे मेरे मन, फागुन मास में होली खेलने का समय अति अल्प होता है। अतः तू जी भरकर होली खेल। अर्थात मानव जीनव अस्थायी है, : इसलिए भगवान कृष्ण से पूर्ण रूप से प्रेम कर ले। जिस प्रकार होली के : उत्सव में नाच आदि का आयोजन होता है, उसी प्रकार कृष्ण-प्रेम में मुझे ऐसा प्रतीत होता है मानो करताल, पखावज आदि बाजे बज रहे हैं और अनहद नाद का स्वर सुनाई दे रहा है, जिससे मेरा हृदय बिना स्वर और राग के अनेक रागों का आलाप करता रहता है। मेरा रोम-रोम भगवान कृष्ण के प्रेम के रंग में डूबा रहता है। मैंने अपने प्रिय से होली खेलने के लिए शील और संतोष रूपी केसर का रंग घोला है। मेरा प्रिय-प्रेम ही होली खेलने की पिचकारी है। उड़ते हुए गुलाल से सारा आकाश लाल हो गया है। अब मुझे लोक-लज्जा का कोई डर नहीं है, इसलिए मैंने हृदय रूपी घर के दरवाजे खोल दिए हैं। अंत में मीरा कहती हैं कि मेरे स्वामी गोवर्धन पर्वत को धारण करने वाले कृष्ण भगवान हैं। मैंने उनके चरण-कमलों में अपना सर्वस्व न्योछावर कर दिया है।

गिरिधर नागर विषय-प्रवेश :

भारत महिमा Summary in Hindi

भारत महिमा कविता का सरल अर्थ

1. हिमालय के आँगन …………………………………… मधुर साम संगीत।. . .

हमारा यह प्यारा भारत देश हिमालय के आँगन के समान है। प्रतिदिन उषा भारत को सूर्य की किरणों का उपहार देती है। तब ऐसा लगता है मानो हँसकर वह भारत-भूमि का अभिनंदन कर रही हो। ओस की बूंदों पर जब प्रातःकालीन सूर्य की रश्मियाँ पड़ती हैं तो ऐसा लगता है जैसे उषा ने भारत को हीरों का हार पहना दिया हो।

सबसे पहले ज्ञान का उदय भारत में ही हुआ अर्थात सबसे पहले हम जाग्रत हुए। फिर हमने पूरे विश्व में ज्ञान का प्रसार किया। इसके कारण समग्र संसार आलोकित हो गया। अज्ञान रूपी अंधकार का विनाश हुआ और संपूर्ण सृष्टि के सभी दुख-शोक दूर हो गए।

वाणी की देवी वीणापाणि (सरस्वती) ने इसी पवित्र भूमि पर प्रेम के साथ अपने कमल के समान कोमल करों में वीणा उठाई, उसकी झंकार से सप्तसिंधुओं में सातों स्वरों का मोहक सरगम गूंजने लगा, मधुर संगीत का जन्म हुआ। इसी महान देश में संगीत के वेद सामवेद की रचना हुई।

2. विजय केवल …………………………………… आए थे नहीं।. . .

भारत के लोगों ने शस्त्रों के बल पर देशों को नहीं जीता। यहाँ प्राचीन काल से ही लोगों के मन में धर्म की प्रखर भावना रही है और उन्होंने संसार में धर्म का प्रचार किया। यहाँ गौतम बुद्ध और वर्धमान महावीर जैसे धर्मपुरुष हुए हैं, जिन्होंने विशाल साम्राज्य छोड़कर भिक्षु का स्वरूप धारण किया और घर-घर घूमकर लोगों का कष्ट दूर करने का प्रयास किया, धर्म का प्रचार किया। हमने मोहम्मद गोरी को पराजित करने के बाद भी दयापूर्वक क्षमा कर दिया। हमारे देश से ही चीन को धर्म की दृष्टि मिली। (भारत के महान सम्राट अशोक ने अपने पुत्र महेंद्र और पुत्री संघमित्रा को बौद्ध धर्म के प्रचार के लिए चीन, स्वर्ण भूमि अर्थात जावा और श्रीलंका भेजा) जावा और श्रीलंका के लोगों को पंचशील (अहिंसा, अस्तेय, अपरिग्रह, सत्य, ब्रह्मचर्य आदि) के सिद्धांत मिले।

भारतवासियों ने कभी किसी की संपत्ति या किसी का राज्य छीनने का प्रयास नहीं किया। हमें प्रकृति ने प्रत्येक वस्तु मुक्तहस्त से प्रदान की। प्रकृति की हमारे देश पर महान कृपा रही है। (यहाँ की शस्य श्यामला भूमि, हिमाच्छादित गिरि शिखर, घाटियाँ, वादियाँ, सदानीरा नदियाँ, झरने, फल-फूल, संसाधनों से भरपूर जंगल सभी अनुपम हैं) भारत सदा से हमारी जन्मभूमि है। हम इसी देश की संतानें हैं। हम बाहर के किसी स्थान से आकर यहाँ नहीं बसे हैं। (जैसा कि कुछ विदेशियों का कहना है।)

3. चरित थे पूत …………………………………… प्यारा भारतवर्ष।. . .

भारत के लोग सदा से चरित्रवान रहे हैं। हमारी भुजाओं में भरपूर शक्ति रही है। भारतीयों में वीरता की कभी कमी नहीं रही। साथ ही नम्रता सदा हमारा गुण रहा है। हमने कभी अपनी उपलब्धियों पर घमंड नहीं किया। हमें अपनी सभ्यता और संस्कृति पर गर्व रहा है। हम कभी किसी को दुखी नहीं देख सके। दीन-दुखियों की सेवा करने के लिए हम भारतीय सदैव तत्पर रहते हैं। ‘हम यदि धन और संपत्ति का संग्रह करते भी थे, तो दान के लिए करते थे। दानवीरता भारतीयों का गुण रहा है। हमारे देश में अतिथियों को सदा देवता के समान माना जाता था। भारत के लोग सत्य बोलना अपना धर्म मानते थे। (भारतीय सत्यवादी हरिश्चंद्र की संतानें हैं।) हमारे हृदय में तेज था, गौरव था। हम सदा अपनी प्रतिज्ञा पर अटल रहते थे। प्राण जाए, पर वचन न जाए हमारा जीवनमूल्य रहा है।

आज भी हम भारतीयों की धमनियों में उन्हीं पूर्वजों का रक्त प्रवाहित हो रहा है। आज भी हमारा देश वैसा ही है। आज भी भारतीयों में वैसा ही साहस है। भारतीय आज भी ज्ञान के क्षेत्र में सबसे आगे हैं। आज भी हम पहले के समान शांति के पुजारी हैं। देशवासियों में वैसी ही शक्ति है। हम उन्हीं आर्यों की दिव्य संतानें हैं।

हम जब तक जिएँ, इसी देश के लिए जिएँ। हमें इसकी सभ्यता और संस्कृति पर अभिमान है और हर्ष है कि हमने इस भूमि पर जन्म लिया है। यह हमारा प्यारा भारतवर्ष है। यदि कभी आवश्यकता पड़े, तो इसके लिए अपना सर्वस्व भी न्योछावर कर दें।

(i) Dilute H2SO4 was taken in an electrolytic cell and electric current was passed through it.
Answer:

  • If pure water is used in the electrolytic cell, current does not flow even on putting on the switch.
  • Pure water is a bad conductor of electricity. Dilute H2SO4 is acidulated water.
  • The electrical conductivity of water increases on mixing with strong acid or base in it due to their dissociation and electrolysis of water takes place.
  • H2SO4 is fully dissociated in aqueous solution. \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{H}^{+}+\mathrm{SO}_{4}^{2-}\)
  • H2O is a weak electrolyte and is only slightly dissociated \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow \mathrm{H}^{+}+\mathrm{OH}^{-}\)
  • During electrolysis, the hydrogen ions migrate towards the cathode and are discharged there.

[H+ ions gains electrons and are converted to hydrogen gas]
\(2 \mathrm{H}^{+}+2 \mathrm{e}^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{H}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}\)
Cathode reaction:
\(2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{(\mathrm{i})}+2 \mathrm{e}^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{H}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}+2 \mathrm{OH}_{(\mathrm{aq})}^{-}\)
Anode reaction:
\(2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{(\mathrm{l})} \longrightarrow \mathrm{O}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}+4 \mathrm{H}_{(\mathrm{aq})}^{+}+4 \mathrm{e}\)

  • For every hydrogen ion discharged at the anode, another hydrogen ion is formed at the cathode.
  • The net result is that the concentration of the sulphuric acid remains constant and electrolysis of water is overall reaction. \(2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{H}_{2}+\mathrm{O}_{2}\)
  • The volume of the hydrogen gas formed near the cathode is double that of the oxygen gas formed near the anode.

3. Classify the following oxides into three types and name the types.

8. Answer the following questions.

a. Classify the acids according to their basicity and give one example of each type.
Answer:

  • Basicity of acids : The number of H+ ions obtainable by the dissociation of one molecule of an acid is called its basicity. The acids are classified as monobasic, dibasic and tribasic acids based on the number of H+ ions present.
  • Examples of monobasic acid : HCl, HNO3, CH3COOH
  • Examples of dibasic acid: H2SO4, H2CO3
  • Examples of tribasic acid: H3BO3, H3PO4

b. What is meant by neutralization? Give two examples from everyday life of the neutralization reaction.
Answer:

  • In neutralization reaction, an acid reacts with a base to form salt and water.
  • In a neutralisation reaction the acid dissociates to form H+ ions and base dissociates to form OH ions.
  • They combine to form H2O molecules which mixes with the solvent.

Examples in daily life:

  • When people suffer from acidity, they take some antacids to neutralise the acid in their stomach.
  • If an ant stings us the pain is due to formic acid. It is neutralised by rubbing moist baking soda which is basic in nature.

c. Explain what is meant by electrolysis of water. Write the electrode reactions and explain them.
Answer:
Electrolysis of water:

  • Electrolysis of water is the decomposition of water into oxygen and hydrogen gas due to an electric current being passed through acidified water.
  • Cathode reaction:
    \(2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{(l)}+2 \mathrm{e}^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{H}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}+2 \mathrm{OH}_{(\mathrm{aq}}\)
  • Anode reaction:
    \(2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{(l)} \longrightarrow \mathrm{O}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}+4 \mathrm{H}_{(\mathrm{aq})}^{+}+4 \mathrm{e}^{-}\)
  • It is found that the volume of gas formed near the cathode is double that of the gas formed near the anode.
  • Hydrogen gas is formed near the cathode and oxygen gas near the anode.
  • From this, it is clear that electrolysis of water has taken place and its constituent element have been released.

9. Give a reason for the following.

a. Hydronium ions are always in the form H3O+.
Answer:

  • Acids in water gives H+ ions. These H+ ions do not exist freely in water.
  • This is because H+ is a single proton, a hydrogen atom has only one proton and one electron.
  • If the electron is removed to make H+, all that is left is an extremely tiny positively charged nucleus.
  • This H ion will immediately combine with the surrounding water (H2O) molecules to form (H3O4) hydronium ion.

Answer the following questions:

Question 1.
Cut a lemon into two equal parts. Take the juice of each part into two separate beakers. Pour 10 ml of drinking water in one beaker and 20 ml in the second. Stir the solutions in both the beakers and taste them. Is there any difference in the tastes of the solutions in the two beakers? What is that difference?
Answer:

  • In the above activity, the sour taste of the solutions is because of the solute, lemon juice in them.
  • The quantity of the lemon juice is the same in both the solutions. Yet their tastes are different.
  • The solution in the first beaker is more sour than the one in the second.
  • Although the quantity of the solute is the same in both the solutions, the quantity of the solvent is different.
  • Ratio of the quantity of the solute to the quantity of the resulting solution is different. This ratio is larger for the solution in the first beaker and therefore that solution tastes more sour.
  • On the other hand, the proportion of the lemon juice in the total solution in the second beaker is smaller and taste is less sour.
  • The taste of foodstuff depends upon the nature of the taste-giving ingredient and its proportions in the foodstuff.
  • Similarly, all the properties of a solution depend on the nature of the solute and solvent and also on the proportion of the solute in a solution
  • The proportions of a solute in a solution is called the concentration of the solute in the solution.

Question 2.
Take a big test tube. Choose a rubber stopper in which a gas tube can be fitted. Take a few pieces of magnesium ribbon in the test tube and add some dilute HCl to it. Take a lighted candle near the end of the gas tube and observe. What did you observe?

Answer:

  • Magnesium metal reacts with dilute HCl and an inflammable gas, hydrogen, is formed.
  • During this reaction, the reactive metal displaces hydrogen from the acid to release hydrogen gas.
  • At the same time, the metal is converted into basic radical which combines with the acidic radical from the acid to form the salt.
    \(\mathrm{Mg}_{(\mathrm{s})}+2 \mathrm{HCl}_{(\mathrm{aq}) \longrightarrow} \underset{\rightarrow}{\mathrm{MgCl}_{2(\mathrm{aq})}}+\mathrm{H}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}\)

Question 3.
Take some water in a test tube and add a little red oxide (the primer used before painting iron articles) to it. Now add a small quantity of dilute HCl to it, shake the test tube and observe.
(a) Does the red oxide dissolve in water?
(b) What change takes place in the particles of red oxide on adding dilute HCl?
Answer:
(a) The chemical formula of red oxide is Fe2O3. It is insoluble in water.
(b) The water-insoluble red oxide reacts with HCl to produce a water-soluble salt FeCl3.

  • This gives a yellowish colour to the water.
  • The following chemical equation can be written for this chemical change.
    \(\mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3(\mathrm{~s})}+6 \mathrm{HCl}_{(\mathrm{aq})} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{FeCl}_{3(\mathrm{aq})}+3 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{(\mathrm{l})}\)

Question 4.
Fit a bent tube in a rubber cork. Take some lime water in a test tube and keep it handy. Take some baking soda in another test tube and add some lemon juice to it. Immediately fit the bent tube over it. Insert its other end into the lime water. Note down your observations of both the test tubes. Repeat the procedure using washing soda, vinegar and dilute HC1 properly. What do you see?
Answer:

  • In this activity, when limewater comes in contact with the gas released in the form of an effervescence, it turns milky.
  • This is a chemical test for carbon dioxide gas.
  • When lime water turns milky, we infer that the effervescence is of CO2.
  • This gas is produced on the reaction of acids with carbonate and bicarbonate salts of metals.
  • A precipitate of CaCO3 is produced on its reaction with the lime water Ca(OH)2.
  • This reaction can be represented by the following chemical equation.
    \(\mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OH})_{2(\mathrm{aq})}+\mathrm{CO}_{2(\mathrm{~g})} \longrightarrow \mathrm{CaCO}_{3(\mathrm{~s})}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{(\mathrm{l})}\)
  • Washing soda is sodium carbonate Na2CO3. It will react same as baking soda (NaHCO3).
  • Vinegar and HCl are acids, they do not react chemically with lemon juice.

Answer:

Give scientific reasons:

Question 1.
Ionic compound NaCl has very high stability.
Answer:

  • The outermost shell of both Na+ and Cl ions is a complete octet.
  • An electronic configuration with a complete octet indicates a stable state.
  • A molecule of NaCl has Na+ and Cl ions. An ionic bond is formed between these ions.
  • The force of attraction between them is very strong as it is formed between the oppositely charged Na+ and Cl ions.
  • Therefore NaCl, an ionic compound has very high stability.

Question 2.
Ionic compound dissociates while forming an aqueous solution.
Answer:

  • On dissolving in water, an ionic compound forms an aqueous solution.
  • In the solid state, the oppositely charged ions in the ionic compound are sitting side by side.
  • When an ionic compound being to dissolve in water, the water molecules push themselves in between the ions of the compound and it separates them from each other, that is to say, an ionic compound dissociates while forming an aqueous solution.

Question 3.
Blue coloured copper sulphate crystals become colourless on heating.
Answer:

  • Copper sulphate crystals are blue in colour and crystalline in form due to presence of water of crystallisation.
  • Each molecule of crystalline copper sulphate contains five molecules of water of crystallisation (CuSO4.5H2O).
  • On heating, the copper sulphate crystals lose the water of crystallisation and turns into white amorphous powder called as anhydrous copper sulphate.
  • Therefore, blue coloured copper sulphate crystals become colourless on heating.

Question 4.
During electrolysis of water, a few drops of sulphuric acid are added to it.
Answer:

  • Pure water is a covalent compound and hence it is a non-electrolyte and does not conduct electricity.
  • When a few drops of sulphuric acid (H2SO4) are added to water.
  • Being a strong acid it dissociates almost completely in its solution forming H+ cations and \(\mathrm{SO}_{4}^{2-}\) anions.
  • The movement of these ions in the solution towards the respective electrodes amount to the conduction of electricity through the solution.
  • Therefore, during electrolysis of water, a few drops of sulphuric acid are added to it.

Question 5.
Glucose is a non-electrolyte.
Answer:

  • Glucose is a covalent compound
  • It does not form any ions in its aqueous solution.
  • Due to this aqueous solution of glucose does not conduct electronic current.
  • Hence, glucose is a non-electrolyte.

Maharashtra Board Class 9 Science Solutions Chapter 5 Acids, Bases and Salts

Question 6.
Pure water is a poor conductor of electricity but aqueous solution of sodium chloride conducts electricity.
Answer:

  • Pure water does not contain any free ions.
  • Sodium chloride (NaCl) is an ionic compound made up of sodium cation (Na+) and chloride anion (Cl)
  • When sodium chloride is dissolved in water , these ions dissociates in its aqueous solution. ‘
  • These ions are free to move in the solution and conduct electricity.
  • Therefore, pure water is a poor conductor of electricity but aqueous solution of sodium Chloride conducts electricity.

Question 7.
When carbon dioxide gas is passed through freshly prepared lime water, the limewater turns milky.
Answer:

  • Limewater traditionally means a weak solution of the alkali calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2.
  • When CO2 is passed through limewater, it reacts with calcium hydroxide to form insoluble particulates (precipitate of calcium carbonate (CaCO3).
  • Calcium carbonate is weak basic salt and this gives a milky white precipitate.
    Maharashtra Board Class 9 Science Solutions Chapter 5 Acids, Bases and Salts 38
  • Hence, lime water turns milky when CO2 gas is passed through it.

Q.3.1. Answer the following:

Question 1.

(b) Aluminium oxide reacts with sodium hydroxide.
Answer:
(a) When zinc oxide reacts with sodium hydroxide, it forms sodium zincate and water
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Science Solutions Chapter 5 Acids, Bases and Salts 59

(b) When Aluminium oxide reacts with sodium hydroxide, it forms sodium aluminate and water.

Question 2.
Can we call Al2O3 and ZnO acidic oxides on the basis of above reactions.
Answer:

  • No, because they also react with acids to form their respective salts and water.
  • So, they show the properties of basic oxides also.

Maharashtra Board Class 9 Science Solutions Chapter 5 Acids, Bases and Salts

Question 3.
Define ‘amphoteric oxides’ and give two examples.
Answer:

  • Amphoteric oxides are those oxides which react with both adds as well as bases to form their respective salts and water.
  • Amphoteric oxides show the properties of both acidic oxides as well as basic oxides. ZnO and Al2 O3 are amphoteric oxides.?

Question 4.
Take a solution of 1g copper sulphate in 50ml water in a 100 ml capacity beaker. Use a thick plate of copper as anode and a carbon rod as cathode. Arrange the apparatus as shown in the figure and pass an electric current through the circuit for some time. Do you see any changes?
Answer:

  • A thin film of copper metal is deposited on cathode which is immersed in solution. There is no change in colour of solution
  • The electrons from cathode combines with Cu2+ ion from the solution forming Cu atoms which were then deposited on the cathode.

Q.3.5. Answer in brief:

Question 1.
What are acids, bases and salts?
Answer:

  • Compounds having H+ as the basic radical in their molecules are called Acids.
  • Compounds having OH as the acidic radical in their molecule are called Bases.
  • Ionic compounds which have a basic radical other than H+ and an acidic radical other than OH are called salts.

Question 2.
What is an ionic bond?
Answer:

  • The molecule of an ionic compound has two constituents namely cation (positive ion / basic radical) and anion (negative ion / acidic radical).
  • There is a force of attraction between these ions as they are oppositely charged, and that is called the ionic bond.
  • The force of attraction between one positive charge on a cation and one negative charge on an anion makes one ionic bond.

Maharashtra Board Class 9 Science Solutions Chapter 5 Acids, Bases and Salts

Question 3.
Give examples to show that proportions of H+ and OH ions in aqueous solution determines the properties of those solutions.
Answer:
The examples to show that proportions of H+ and OH ions in aqueous solution determines the properties of those solutions are :

  • The proportions of H+ and OH ions divides soil into the acidic, neutral and basic, types of soil.
  • It is necessary for blood, cell sap etc to have H+ and OH ions in certain definite proportions for their proper functioning.
  • Fermentation carried out with the help of micro-organisms, other biochemical processes and also many chemical processes require the proportion of H+ and OH ions to be maintained within certain limits.

Question 4.
What is pH scale?
Answer:

  1. In 1909, the Danish scientist Sorensen introduced a convenient new scale of expressing H+ ion concentration which is found to be useful in chemical and biochemical processes.
  2. It is the pH scale (pH: power of hydrogen). The pH scale extends from 0 to 14. According to this scale pure water has a pH of 7. pH 7 indicates a neutral solution. This pH is the midpoint of the scale.
  3. The pH of an acidic solution is less than 7 and?

Question 5.

Answer:

Maharashtra Board Class 9 Science Solutions Chapter 5 Acids, Bases and Salts

Question 6.
What is universal indicator? Which is the most accurate method of measuring the pH of a solution?
Answer:

  • In the pH scale, the pH of solutions varies from 0 to 14 in accordance with the strength of the acid or base.
  • To show these variations in pH, a universal indicator is used.
  • A universal indicator shows different colours at different values of pH. A universal indicator is made by mixing several synthetic indicators in specific proportions.
  • The pH of a solution can be determined by means of a universal indicator solution or the pH paper made from it.
  • However, the most accurate method of measuring the pH of a solution is to use an electrical instrument called pH meter.
  • In this method, pH is measured by dipping electrodes into the solution.

Answer in detail:

Question 1.
Explain the Arrhenius theory of acids and bases.
Answer:
The Swedish scientist Arrhenius put forth a theory of acids and bases in the year 1887. This theory gives definitions of acids and bases as follows:
Acid : An acid is a substance which on dissolving in water gives rise to H ion as the only cation. For example, HCl, H2SO4, H2CO3

Maharashtra Board Class 9 Science Solutions Chapter 5 Acids, Bases and Salts 61

Base: Abase is a substance which on dissolving in water gives rise to the OH ion as the only anion, For example, NaOH, Ca(OH)2
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Science Solutions Chapter 5 Acids, Bases and Salts 51

Question 2.
Write a short note on Neutralization.
Answer:

  • Take 10 ml of dilute HCl in a beaker, go on adding dilute NaOH drop by drop and record the pH.
  • Stop adding the NaOH when the green colour appears on the pH paper, that is when the pH of solution becomes 7.
  • Both HCl and NaOH dissociate in their aqueous solutions. Maharashtra Board Class 9 Science Solutions Chapter 5 Acids, Bases and Salts
  • Addition of NaOH to HCl solution is like adding a large concentration of OH ions to a large concentration of H+ ions.
  • However water dissociates into H+ and OH ions to a very small extent.
  • Therefore on mixing the excess OH ions combines with excess H+ ions and forms H2O molecules which mix with solvent water.
  • This change can be represented by the ionic equation shown as follows. H+ + Cl + Na+ + OH → Na+ + Cl + H2O
  • It can be observed that Na+ and CT ions are there on both the sides. Therefore the net ionic reaction is H+ + OH → H2O
  • As NaOH solution is added drop by drop to the HCl solution, the concentration of ff goes on decreasing due to combination with added OH ions, and that is how the pH goes on increasing.
  • When enough NaOH is added to HCl, the resulting aqueous solution contains only Na+ and Cl ions, that is, NaCl, a salt, and the solvent water. The only source of H+ and OH ions in this solution is a dissociation of water.
  • Therefore, this reaction is called the Neutralization reaction. The Neutralization reaction is also represented by the following simple equation.

Question 3.
Explain the water of Crystallization.
Answer:

  • Take some crystals of blue vitriol (CuSO4. 5H2O) in a test tube. Heat the test tube on a low flame of a burner.
  • It was observed that on heating, the crystalline structure of blue vitriol broke down to form a colourless powder and water came out.
  • This water was part of the crystal structure of blue vitriol. It is called water of crystallization.
  • On adding water to the white powder a solution

    was formed which had the same colour as the solution in the first test tube.
  • From this we come to know that no chemical change has occurred in the crystals of blue vitriol due to heating.
  • Losing water on heating blue vitriol, breaking down of the crystal structure, losing blue colour and regaining blue colour on adding water are all physical changes.
  • Similarly, ferrous Sulphate crystals also contain 7 molecules of water of crystallization which are lost on heating.
  • The reaction is represented as
  • Ionic compounds are crystalline in nature. These crystals are formed as a result of definite arrangement of ions.
  • In the crystals of some compounds, water molecules are also included in this arrangement.
  • That is the water of crystallization. The water of crystallization is present in a definite proportion of the chemical formula of the compound.

Question 4.
Explain the conduction of electricity through solutions of ionic compounds
Answer:

  1. Electrons conduct electricity through electrical wires, and ions conduct electricity through a liquid or a solution.
  2. Electrons leave the battery at the negative terminal, complete the electric circuit and enter the battery at the positive terminal.
  3. When there is a liquid or a solution in the circuit, two rods, wires or plates are immersed in it. These are called electrodes.
  4. Electrodes are made of conducting solid. The electrode connected to negative terminal of a battery by means of a conducting wire is called a cathode and the electrode connected to the positive terminal of a battery is called anode.
  5. We have seen that salts, strong acids and strong bases dissociates almost completely in their aqueous solutions.
  6. Therefore the aqueous solutions of all these three contain large number of cations and anions.
  7. A characteristic of liquid state is the mobility of its particles. Due to its mobility the positive charged ions of the solution are attracted to the negative electrode or cathode.
  8. On the other hand, the negative charged ions of the solution are attracted to the positive electrode or anode.
  9. The movement of ions in the solution towards the respective electrodes accounts to the conduction of electricity through the solution.
  10. From this we can understand that those liquids or solutions which contain a large number of dissociated ions conduct electricity. Maharashtra Board Class 9 Science Solutions Chapter 5 Acids, Bases and Salts

Answer:
Plants belonging to thallophyta group may be unicellular or multicellular

Give scientific reason

Question 1.
Thallophyta plants have thin and fibre like body
Answer:
Thallophyta: These plants grow mainly in water i.e. fresh water as well as in saline water, therefore they usually have a soft and fibre-like (filamentous) body.

Question 2.
Bryophyta plants are called the amphibian plants.
Answer:
Bryophyta: They grow in moist soil but need water for reproduction. Therefore, they are called ‘amphibians of plant kingdom’.

Question 3.
Gymnosperms bear their male and female flowers on different sporophylls of the same plant
Answer:
Gymnosperms: As these plants do not take the assistance of pollinators i.e. vectors, the male and female flowers are present on the different sporophyll of the same plant for successful fertilisation.

Answer:
In 1883, Eichler, a botanist, classified the Kingdom Plantae into two subkingdoms. As a result, two subkingdoms, cryptogams and phanerogams were considered for plant classification.

Maharashtra Board Class 9 Science Solutions Chapter 6 Classification of Plants

Question 2.
Thallophyta
Answer:
These plants grow mainly in water. This group of plants, which do not have specific parts like root-stem-leaves-flowers but are autotrophic due to the presence of chlorophyll, is called algae. Algae show great diversity. They may be unicellular or multicellular, and microscopic or large. Examples of algae are Spirogyra, Ulothrix, Ulva, Sargassum, etc. Some of these are found in fresh water while some are found in saline water. These plants usually have a soft and fibre-like body. Various types of fungi like yeasts and moulds which do not have chlorophyll are also included in this group.

Question 3.
Bryophyta
Answer:
This group of plants is called the amphibians’ of the plant kingdom because they grow in moist soil but need water for reproduction. These plants are thalloid, multicellular and autotrophic. They reproduce by spore formation. The structure of the plant body of bryophytes is flat, ribbon-like long, without true roots, stem and leaves. Instead, they have stem-like or leaf-like parts and root-like rhizoids. They do not have specific tissues for conduction of food and water. Examples are Moss (Funaria), Marchantia, Anthoceros, Riccia, etc.

Question 4.
Pteridophyta
Answer:
Plants from this group have well developed roots, stem and leaves and separate tissues for conduction of food and water. But, they do not bear flowers and fruits. They reproduce with the help of spores formed along the back or posterior surface of their leaves. Examples are ferns like Nephrolepis, Marsilea, Pteris, Adiantum, Equisetum, Selaginella, Lycopodium, etc. These plants reproduce asexually by spore-formation and sexually by zygote formation. They have a well-developed conducting system.

Question 5.
Phanerogams
Answer:
Plants which have special structures for reproduction and produce seeds are called phanerogams. In these plants, after the process of reproduction, seeds are formed which contain the embryo and stored food. During germination of the seed, the stored food is used for the initial growth of the embryo. Depending upon whether seeds are enclosed in a fruit or not, phanerogams are classified into gymnosperms and angiosperms.

Maharashtra Board Class 9 Science Solutions Chapter 6 Classification of Plants

Question 6.
Gymnosperms
Answer:
Gymnosperms are mostly evergreen, perennial and woody. Their stems are without branches. The leaves form a crown. These plants bear male and female flowers on different sporophylls of the same plant. Seeds of these plants do not have natural coverings, i.e. these plants do not form fruits and are therefore called gymnosperms. (gymnos: naked, sperms: seeds). Examples Cycas, Picea (Christmas tree), Thuja (Morpankhi), Pinus (Deodar), etc.

Question 7.
Angiosperms
Answer:
The flowers these plants bear are their reproductive organs. Flowers develop into fruits and seeds are formed within fruits. Thus, these seeds are covered; hence, they are called angiosperms (angios: cover, sperms: seeds). The plants whose seeds can be divided into two equal halves or dicotyledons are called dicotyledonous plants and those whose seeds cannot be divided into equal parts are called monocotyledonous plants.

(5) Current \(=\frac{V}{R}\)
(6) Resistivity \(=\frac{RA}{L}\)

Give scientific reasons:

Question 1.
Free electrons are required for conduction of electricity.
Answer:

  • Every atom of a metallic conductor has one or more outermost electrons which are very weakly bound to the nucleus.
  • These are called free electrons. These electrons can easily move from one part of a conductor to its other parts. The negative charge of the electrons also gets transferred as a result of this motion.
  • The free electrons in a conductor are the carriers of negative charge. Hence, free electrons are required for conduction of electricity.

Question 2.
Wood and glass are good insulators.
Answer:

  • Those substances which have infinitely high electrical resistance are called insulators.
  • Wood and glass have high resistance and negligible free electrons for conduction of electricity.
  • Hence, wood and glass are good insulators.

Question 3.
Connecting wires in a circuit are made of copper and aluminium.
Answer:

  • Copper and aluminum are good conductors of electricity.
  • They have low electrical resistance and large number of free electrons.
  • As they are malleable and ductile, they can be drawn into thin wires. Hence, connecting wires in a circuit are made of copper or aluminum.

Maharashtra Board Class 9 Science Solutions Chapter 3 Current Electricity

Question 4.
A thick wire has a low resistance.
Answer:

  • The resistance (R) of a wire is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area (A) of a wire. i.e., R i
  • Thus, greater is the cross-sectional area of a conductor (wire), lower is its resistance. Hence, a thick wire has a low resistance.

Question 5.
A series combination of resistances is used to increase the resistance of a circuit.
Answer:

  • When resistances are connected in series, the effective resistance of the resistors is equal to the sum of their individual resistances. Rs = R1 + R2 ………….. Rn
  • The effective resistance is larger than each of the individual resistances. Hence, This arrangement is used to increase the resistance in a circuit.

Question 6.
A parallel combination of resistances decreases the effective resistance of the circuit.
Answer:

  • In a parallel combination, the inverse of the effective resistance is equal to the sum of the inverses of individual resistances. \(\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{p}}}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_{1}}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_{2}} \ldots \ldots \cdot \frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{n}}}\)
  • The effective resistance of resistors connected in parallel is less than the individual resistors.
  • Due to this, any addition of an individual resistance in parallel combination will decrease the overall resistance of the circuit. Hence, a parallel combination of resistance decreases the effective resistance of the circuit.

Question 7.
Lightning occurs from sky to earth.
Answer:

  • Lightning is the electric discharge travelling from clouds at high potential to the earth’s surface, which is at zero potential.
  • The earth is always at lower potential as compared to the clouds.
  • Hence, lightning occurs from sky to earth.

Question 8.
In streetlights, bulbs are connected in parallel.
Answer:

  1. Even if any one of the several bulbs connected in parallel becomes non-functional because of some damage to its filament, the circuit does not break as the current flows through the other paths, and the rest of the bulbs light up.
  2. When several bulbs are connected in parallel, they emit the same amount of light as when they are connected individually in the circuit, while bulbs connected in series emit less light than when connected individually. Hence, streetlights are connected in parallel.

Complete the paragraph:

Question 1.
If resistors are connected in series,
Answer:
The same current flows through each resistor. The effective resistance of the resistors is equal to the sum of their individual resistances. The potential difference between the two extremes of the arrangement is equal to the sum of the potential differences across individual resistors. The effective resistance is larger than each of the individual resistances. This arrangement is used to increase the resistance in a circuit. This type of connection is used in electrical heating equipment like geysers, iron, and hair dryers.

Maharashtra Board Class 9 Science Solutions Chapter 3 Current Electricity

Question 2.
If a number of resistors are connected in parallel,
Answer:
The inverse of the effective resistance is equal to the sum of the inverses of individual resistances. The current flowing through an individual resistor is proportional to the r inverse of its resistance and the total current flowing through the circuit is the sum of the currents flowing through individual resistors. The potential difference across all r resistors is the same. The effective resistance of resistors connected in parallel is less than r the least resistance of individual resistors.

This arrangement is used to reduce the resistance in a circuit. Even if any one of the several bulbs connected in parallel becomes non-functional because of some damage to its filament, the circuit does not break as the current flows, through the other paths, and the rest of the bulbs light up. When several bulbs are connected in parallel, they emit the same amount of light as when they are connected individually in the circuit, while bulbs connected in series emit less light than when connected individually.

Question 1.
Make the concept diagram of an electrical circuit and explain the working of a fuse.
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Science Solutions Chapter 3 Current Electricity 35
Answer:

  • Fuse wire is used to protect domestic appliances.
  • It is made of a mixture of substances and has a specific melting point.
  • It is connected in series to the electric appliances. If for some reason, the current in the circuit increases excessively, the fuse wire gets heated and melts. The circuit gets broken and the flow of current stops, thus protecting the appliance.
  • This wire is fitted in a groove in a body of porcelain-like non-conducting material. For domestic use, fuse wires with upper limits of 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, and lO Aareused.

Class 9 Science Chapter 2 Work and Energy Textbook Questions and Answers

1. Write detailed answers?

a. Explain the difference between potential energy and kinetic energy.
Answer:

Kinetic Energy Potential Energy
(i) Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by the body due to its motion. (i) Potential energy is the energy possessed by the body because of its shape or position.
(ii) K.E = 1/2 mv2 (ii) P.E = mgh
(iii) e.g., flowing water, such as when falling from a waterfall. (iii) e.g., water at the top of a waterfall, before the drop.

b. Derive the formula for the kinetic energy of an object of mass m, moving with velocity v.
Answer:
Suppose a stationary object of mass ‘m’ moves because of an applied force. Let ‘u’ be its initial velocity (here u = 0). Let the applied force be ‘F’. This generates an acceleration a in the object, and after time T, the velocity of the object becomes equal to ‘v’. The displacement during this time is s. The work done on the object is
W = F x s ……………….. (1)
Using Newton’s 2nd law of motion,
F = ma ……………….. (2)
Using Newton’s 2nd equation of motion
\(s=u t+\frac{1}{2} a t^{2}\)
However, as initial velocity is zero, u = 0

c. Prove that the kinetic energy of a freely falling object on reaching the ground is nothing but the transformation of its initial potential energy.
Answer:
Let us look at the kinetic and potential energies of an object of mass (m), falling freely from height (h), when the object is at different heights.

As shown in the figure, the point A is at a height (h) from the ground. Let the point B be at a distance V, vertically below A. Let the point C be on the ground directly below A and B. Let us calculate the energies of the object at A, B and C.

(1) Let the velocity of the object be vB when it reaches point B, having fallen through a distance x.
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Science Solutions Chapter 2 Work and Energy 2
(2) When the object is stationary at A, its initial velocity is u = 0
∴ K.E = 1/2 mass x velocity2

d. Determine the amount of work done when an object is displaced at an angle of 300 with respect to the direction of the applied force.
Answer:
When an object is displaced by displacement ‘s’ and by applying force ‘F’ at an ’angle’ 30°. work done can be given as
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Science Solutions Chapter 2 Work and Energy 25

e. If an object has 0 momenta, does it have kinetic energy? Explain your answer.
Answer:

  • No, it does not have kinetic energy if it does not have momentum.
  • Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. If it is zero, it implies that v = 0 (since mass can never be zero).
  • Now K.E = ~ mv2, So if v = 0 then K.E also will be zero.
  • Thus, if an object has no momentum then it cannot possess kinetic energy.

f. Why is the work done on an object moving with uniform circular motion zero?
Answer:

  • In uniform circular motion, the force acting on an object is along the radius of the circle.
  • Its displacement is along the tangent to the circle. Thus, they are perpendicular to each other.
    Hence θ = 90° and cos 90 = θ
    ∴ W = Fs cos θ = 0

Question 1.
State the expression for work done when displacement and force makes an angle θ OR State the expression for work done when force is applied making an angle θ with the horizontal force.
Maharashtra Board Class 9 Science Solutions Chapter 2 Work and Energy 21
Answer:
Let ‘F’ be the applied force and Fj be its component in the direction of displacement. Let ’S’ be the displacement.

The amount of work done is given by W = F1s ……………………………………… (1)
The force ‘F’ is applied in the direction of the string.

Let ‘θ’ be the angle that the string makes with the horizontal. We can determine the component ‘F1‘, of this force F, which acts in the horizontal direction by means of trigonometry.
\(\begin{aligned}
\cos \theta=\frac{\text { base }}{\text { hypotenuse }} \\
\therefore \quad \cos \theta=\frac{\mathrm{F}_{1}}{\mathrm{~F}} \\
\therefore \quad \mathrm{F}_{1}=\mathrm{F} & \cos \theta
\end{aligned}\)
Substituting the value of F1 in equation 1
Thus, the work done by F1 is
W cos θ s
∴ W = Fscosθ

Question 2.
When a body is dropped on the ground from some height its P.E is converted into K.E but when it strikes the ground and it stops, what happens to the K.E?
Answer:
When a body is dropped on the ground, its K.E appears in the form of:

  • Heat (collision between the body and the ground).
  • Sound (collision of the body with the ground).
  • The potential energy of change in state of the body and the ground.
  • Kinetic energy is also utilized to do work i.e., the ball bounces to a certain height and moves to a certain distance vertically and horizontally till Kinetic energy becomes zero.
  • The process in which the kinetic energy of a freely falling body is lost in an unproductive chain of energy is called the dissipation of energy.

Question 3.
Explain the statement “Potential Energy is relative”.
Answer:

  • The potential energy of an object is determined and calculated according to a height of the object with respect to the observer.
  • So, the person staying on 6th floor more potential energy than those staying on the 3rd floor.
  • But, the person on the 6th floor will have lesser potential energy than on the 8th floor. Hence potential energy is relative.

  • Social harmony refers to the exchange of cultural and social customs and traditions as people from different parts live together in the cities.
  • An increase in urbanisation leads to an increase in secondary, tertiary and quaternary occupation.
  • This results in an increase in employment opportunities due to which people from different parts of the country come to cities and there is an exchange of customs and traditions.

4. Compare the following and give examples:

(A) Transportation system and traffic jams
Answer:

  • As cities grow, people start living on the outskirts and in the suburbs of the city.
  • People commute to the centre of the city for businesses and industries, trade, jobs, education, etc.
  • Public transportation system is insufficient and hence the number of private vehicles increase.
  • This results in an increase in traffic jams and a lot of time is consumed in travelling from one place to another.
    e.g. Although Mumbai has a well developed transportation system it is insufficient to fulfil the growing needs of people.

Hence, traffic jams are a frequent site in different pockets of Mumbai.

(B) Industrialisation and air pollution
Answer:

  • Industrialisation refers to the growth in number of industries in a particular region.
  • As more and more industries crop up, it becomes convenient for the industries to violate the environmental laws.
  • Paucity of facilities, insensitivity towards environment are the other factors which leads to an increase in the pollution level.
  • Hence, Industrialisation and Air pollution are the two aspects of the same coin.
    e.g. Delhi, Faridabad and Varanasi are the ! victims of rapid industrialisation leading to j severe air pollution.

  • The increase in the number of migratory people causes an increase in the slums.
  • Generally migration from rural to urban areas takes place in search of job opportunities, which are hard to find.
  • The housing facilities do not increase in the same proportion as the population, so the poor migrants can not afford the housing in the cities.
  • This encourages the migrants to build illegal temporary and semi-structured houses known as slums, in open spaces. e.g. Slums in Dharavi (Mumbai city)

(D) Amenities and increasing crime
Answer:

  • Amenities refers to facilities that provide comfort, convenience or pleasure to people.
  • Transportation, communication, educational and medical facilities, fire brigade, etc. are the examples of amenities available in urban areas.
  • Unemployed people who have migrated to the cities are unable to avail these amenities.
  • This leads to an increase in thefts, burglaries, scuffles5, murders, etc. which disturb the social harmony of the cities.
    e.g. Pick pocketing in the local trains.
