๐ข 1. State whether the statements given below are True [T] or False [F]. Correct the false statement(s).
✅ Answer:
๐ข 2. Fill in the blanks.
(i) The volume of a solid can be measured by the method of displacement, where the solid is ______ in water and the ______ in water level is measured.
(ii) The maximum amount of ______ dissolved in ______ at a particular temperature is called solubility at that temperature.
(iii) Generally, the density ______ with increase in temperature.
(iv) The solution in which glucose has completely dissolved in water, and no more glucose can dissolve at a given temperature, is called a ______ solution of glucose.
✅ Answer:
(i) ๐ immersed, rise ๐ง
(ii) ๐ solute, solvent ๐งช
(iii) ๐ decreases ๐ก️⬇️
(iv) ๐ saturated ✔️
๐ข 3. You pour oil into a glass containing some water. The oil floats on top. What does this tell you?
✅ Answer:
๐ Correct option: (ii) Water is denser than oil
๐ข 4. A stone sculpture weighs 225 g and has a volume of 90 cm³. Calculate its density and predict whether it will float or sink in water.
✅ Answer:
๐ Formula:
๐ Density = 225 / 90 = 2.5 g/cm³
๐ Comparison:
- Water = 1 g/cm³
- Object = 2.5 g/cm³
๐ It will sink (เคกूเคฌेเคा) ⬇️
๐ข 5. Which one of the following is the most appropriate statement and why are the other statements not appropriate?
✅ Answer:
๐ Correct: (iii) ✔️
๐ข 6. You have a bottle with a volume of 2 litres. You pour 500 mL of water into it. How much more water can the bottle hold?
✅ Answer:
๐ 2 L = 2000 mL
๐ Remaining = 2000 – 500 = 1500 mL
๐ง Final: Bottle can hold 1500 mL (1.5 L) more
๐ข 7. An object has a mass of 400 g and a volume of 40 cm³. What is its density?
✅ Answer:
๐ Formula:
๐ Density = 400 / 40 = 10 g/cm³
๐ข 8. Analyse Fig. 9.25a and 9.25b. Why does the unpeeled orange float, while the peeled one sinks? Explain.
✅ Answer:
๐ Unpeeled Orange:
- Air pockets present ๐ฌ️
- Density ↓ → floats ⬆️
๐ Peeled Orange:
- No air spaces
- Density ↑ → sinks ⬇️
๐ข Question 9 and 10 of Class 8 Science Curiosity Chapter 9
๐ข 9. Object A has a mass of 200 g and a volume of 40 cm³. Object B has a mass of 240 g and a volume of 60 cm³. Which object is denser?
✅ Answer:
๐ Formula:
genui{"math_block_widget_always_prefetch_v2":{"content":"\text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}"}}
๐ Comparison:
๐ Object A is denser (เค

๐ข 10. Reema has a piece of modeling clay that weighs 120 g. She first moulds it into a compact cube that has a volume of 60 cm³. Later, she flattens it into a thin sheet. Predict what will happen to its density.
✅ Answer:
๐ Formula:
๐ Density = 120 / 60 = 2 g/cm³
๐ง Concept:
๐ Density remains SAME ✔️
๐ข Class 8 Science Curiosity Chapter 9 Question 11 and 12
๐ข 11. A block of iron has a mass of 600 g and a density of 7.9 g/cm³. What is its volume?
✅ Answer:
๐ Formula:
๐ Volume = 600 / 7.9 ≈ 75.95 cm³
๐ข 12. You are provided with an experimental setup as shown in Fig. 9.26a and 9.26b. On keeping the test tube (Fig 9.26b) in a beaker containing hot water (~70°C), the water level in the glass tube rises. How does it affect the density?
✅ Answer:
๐ก️ When water is heated:
- Particles gain energy ⚡
- Move faster ๐
- Spread apart ↔️
๐ง Analysis:
๐ Density decreases (เคเคเคคी เคนै) ⬇️
