Answer for Question Number 16 (B) - Mechanism of the Cleaning Action of Soap

Soap molecules are sodium or potassium salts of long-chain carboxylic acids. They consist of two parts:

1. Hydrophilic Head: A polar head that is "water-loving."

2. Hydrophobic Tail: A long hydrocarbon chain that is "water-fearing" but "oil-loving."

Mechanism:

• Micelle Formation: When soap is added to water containing oily dirt, the hydrophobic tails attach themselves to the oil/dirt, while the hydrophilic heads point outward into the water. This forms a spherical structure called a micelle.

• Emulsification: The oil becomes trapped in the center of the micelle.

• Removal: Since the surface of the micelle is negatively charged (heads), the micelles repel each other and stay suspended in water. When the clothes are agitated or rinsed, these micelles (carrying the dirt) are washed away with the water.

Answer for Question Number 15 (A) - Myopia: Cause, Effect, and Rectification

Myopia (Nearsightedness) is a defect of vision where a person can see nearby objects clearly but cannot see distant objects distinctly.

Causes:

1.  Excessive curvature of the eye lens.

2.  Elongation of the eyeball.

Effect: Light rays from a distant object converge in front of the retina instead of on it, resulting in a blurry image of far-off objects.

Rectification: This defect is corrected by using a concave (diverging) lens of suitable focal length. The lens diverges the incoming rays so that they appear to come from the eye's far point, allowing the eye lens to focus them exactly on the retina.

01 11 PM IST - 25 Mar'26

Answer for Question Number 13 - Write any two advantages of a) avoiding corrosion b) thermite process

a) Advantages of avoiding corrosion:

• Saves Economic Loss: It prevents the damage of expensive infrastructure like bridges, ships, and industrial machinery, saving huge repair and replacement costs.
• Ensures Safety: Corrosion weakens metallic structures; avoiding it prevents structural failures and accidents (like bridge collapses).

b) Advantages of the thermite process:

• On-site Repairs: It is highly effective for joining or repairing broken railway tracks and heavy machine parts right at the spot.
• No External Power: The reaction is so exothermic that it produces molten metal without the need for an external furnace or large power supply.

12 59 PM IST - 25 Mar'26

Answer for Question Number 12 (b) - Electrolytic Refining of Copper

This process is used to obtain pure copper from impure copper blocks. To draw this, include these labels:

1. Anode (+): A thick block of impure copper.

2. Cathode (-): A thin strip of pure copper.

3. Electrolyte: An acidified solution of Copper Sulphate 

4. Anode Mud: Impurities that settle down below the anode.

Reaction Principle:

When current passes, Cu²⁺ ions from the electrolyte deposit on the cathode as pure copper, while an equivalent amount of copper from the impure anode dissolves into the electrolyte.

Answer for Question Number 12 - Draw a neat ray diagram

i) Object at C (Center of Curvature):

• Position of Image: Formed exactly at C.

• Size of Image: Same size as the object.

ii) Object between F (Focus) and C (Center of Curvature):

• Nature of Image: Real and inverted.
• Size of Image: Magnified (larger than the object).

12 10 PM IST - 25 Mar'26

Answer for Question Number 10

11 56 AM IST - 25 Mar'26

Answer for Question Number 9

The process of dissolving an acid in water is highly exothermic (releases a large amount of heat).

• If water is added to acid: The heat generated is so intense that it can cause the mixture to splash out violently, potentially causing acid burns. The glass container may also break due to excessive local heating.
• If acid is added to water: Adding acid slowly with constant stirring allows the heat to be absorbed and dissipated by the larger volume of water, making the process much safer.
