Question

FA 1.10: Activity-based Questions
Prepare an experimental set-up consisting of two beakers. One beaker has water
to which peeled pieces of carrot have been added. In the second beaker, saturated
sugar/salt solution has been put in which peeled pieces of carrot have been added.
Preaper this set-up and keep it for 6-8 hours or overnight before taking it to the
class.
Show the experimental set-up to the students explaining the content of each
beaker and time duration for which carrots were immersed in the solution.
Ask the students to observe the carrots in the two beakers and compare the physical
state of the carrots carefully.
Answer the questions given in the worksheet.
1. What is the difference in the physical state of the carrots as observed in the two
beakers?
2. Name the process involved that has caused a change in the carrot piece in one
beaker
3. Why has the above process occurred?
4. Name the type of solution in beaker A and B with respect to the carrot pieces?
5. Name one process in your daily life which works on the same principle.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Prepare an experimental set-up consisting of two beakers. One beaker has water to which pieces of peeled carrots have been added. Second beaker, saturated sugar/ salt solution has been put in which pieces of peeled carrots have been added. Prepare this set up and keep it overnight before taking it into observation. Now answer the following questions:- a) What is the difference in the physical state of the carrots as observed in the two beakers? b) Name the process involved that has caused a change in the carrot piece in one beaker? c) Why has the above process occurred? d) Name the type of solution in each beaker with respect to the carrot pieces. e) Name one process in your daily life which works on the same principle.
