The correct Answer is:
To classify the given changes into the categories of irreversible physical change, chemical change, and reversible physical change, we will analyze each example one by one.
### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. **Sawing of wood (a)**:
- This is an irreversible physical change. Once wood is sawed, it cannot be returned to its original form as a whole piece of wood.
- **Classification**: Irreversible Physical Change
2. **Breaking down of ozone (b)**:
- This is a chemical change. The breaking down of ozone involves a change in its chemical structure, resulting in different substances.
- **Classification**: Chemical Change
3. **Melting of an ice cream (c)**:
- This is a reversible physical change. Ice cream can melt and then be refrozen back to its original state.
- **Classification**: Reversible Physical Change
4. **Making biogas from cow dung (d)**:
- This is a chemical change. The process involves the decomposition of organic matter, resulting in new substances (biogas).
- **Classification**: Chemical Change
5. **Digestion of food (e)**:
- This is also a chemical change. During digestion, food is broken down into simpler substances that the body can use, which involves chemical reactions.
- **Classification**: Chemical Change
6. **Baking a clay pot (f)**:
- This is a chemical change. When clay is baked, it undergoes a chemical transformation to become a hard, durable material.
- **Classification**: Chemical Change
### Summary of Classifications:
- **Irreversible Physical Change**: a (Sawing of wood)
- **Chemical Change**: b (Breaking down of ozone), d (Making biogas from cow dung), e (Digestion of food), f (Baking a clay pot)
- **Reversible Physical Change**: c (Melting of an ice cream)
### Final Classification:
- I. Irreversible Physical Change: a
- II. Chemical Change: b, d, e, f
- III. Reversible Physical Change: c
To classify the given changes into the categories of irreversible physical change, chemical change, and reversible physical change, we will analyze each example one by one.
### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. **Sawing of wood (a)**:
- This is an irreversible physical change. Once wood is sawed, it cannot be returned to its original form as a whole piece of wood.
- **Classification**: Irreversible Physical Change
