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
