Class 8 Science Chapter 3 Synthetic Fibres And Plastics Worksheet Pdf

 SYNTHETIC FIBRES AND PLASTICS

Question 1. Explain why some fibres are called synthetic.
Answer- Because synthetic or man-made fibres are obtained from petrochemicals by human.
 
Question 2. Mark (✓) the correct answers.
 
Rayon is different from synthetic fibres because:
(a) It has a silk like appearance.
(b) It is obtained from wood pulp. ✓
(c) Its fibres can also be woven like those of natural fibres.
 
Question 3. Fill in the blanks with appropriate words.
 
(a) Synthetic fibres are also called artificial or man-made fibres.
(b) Synthetic fibres are synthesized from raw material called petrochemicals.
(c) Like synthetic fibres, plastic is also a polymer.
 
Question 4. Give examples which indicate that nylon fibres are very strong.
Answer- They are used to make parachutes and ropes for rock climbing.
 
Question 5. Explain why plastic containers are flavored for storing food.
Answer- The main advantage of using plastic for storing food are
a.Plastic has light weight.
b. Good strength.
c. Easy to handle.
d. Plastic is non reactive .
 
Question 6- Explain the difference between thermoplastic and thermosetting plastics.
Answer-
             Thermoplastic                                                                 Thermosetting plastics
1. Thermoplastic can be bent easily.                            1. Thermosetting plastic cannot be bent easily
2. Thermoplastic can be softened easily by heating.     2. Thermosetting plastic cannot be softened by heating.
3. It can be reshaped.                                                  3. It cannot be reshaped once moulded.
 
Question 7. Explain why the following are made of thermosetting plastics.
 
(a) Saucepan handles
(b) Electric plug/ switches /plug boards

Answer- (a) Saucepan handles: Saucepan handles are made from the thermosetting plastics because these are bad conductors of heat and electricity. They do not bend or deform on heating.

(b) Electric plug/ switches /plug boards : Thermosetting plastics such as bakelite are poor conductors of heat and electricity. Therefore, they are used for making electric plugs, switches, plug boards, etc.
 
Question 8. Categorise the materials of the following products into ‘can be recycled’ and ‘cannot be recycled’.
telephone instruments, plastic toys, cooker handles, carry bags, ball point pens, plastic bowls, plastic covering on electrical wires, plastic chairs, electrical switches.
 
Answer-
Can be Recycled            Cannot be Recycled
Plastic toys                        Telephone instruments
Carry bags                        Cooker handles
Ball point pens                   Electrical switches
Plastic bowls
Plastic covering on electrical wires
Plastic chairs
 
Question 9. Rana wants to buy shirts for summer. Should he buy cotton shirts or shirts made from synthetic material? Advise Rana, giving your reason.
Answer- Rana should buy shirts made from cotton. This is because cotton is a good absorber of water. It absorbs the sweat coming out of our body and exposes it to the environment thereby cooling our body.
 
Question 10- Give examples to show that plastics are noncorrosive in nature.
Answer- 1. Plastics don't react with acids or bases which are kept in them. The cleansing chemicals that we use at home are stored in plastic bottles, instead of metal containers.
 
2. Plastics don't react with air and water. For example: chairs, buckets all are made from plastics.
 
Question 11: Should the handle and bristles of a tooth brush be made of the same material? Explain your answer.
Answer- No, the handle and bristles of a toothbrush cannot be made of the same material. This is because the handle has to be hard and strong while bristles have to be soft and flexible.
 
Question 12. ‘Avoid plastics as far as possible’. Comment on this advice.
Answer- This is because plastics are non-biodegradable. The waste created by plastics is not environmentfriendly, which on burning release poisonous gases. Plastics may take years to degrade and keep on piling up and hence are an environmental hazard for the living community.
 
Question 13. Match the terms of column A correctly with the phrases given in column B.
8th.sci.eng.july.Aug 1
 
Question 14. ‘Manufacturing synthetic fibres is actually helping conservation of forests’. Comment.
Answer- Raw materials for natural fibres are mainly derived from plants and this means cutting a lot of trees. This leads to deforestation. But raw materials of synthetic materials are mainly petrochemicals. Hence, manufacturing synthetic fibres helps in the conservation of forests.
 
Question 15. Describe an activity to show that thermoplastic is a poor conductor of electricity.
Answer- Make an electric circuit as given in figure. First, we connect the two ends of the copper wires with the metal rod. Next, we replace it with the PVC rod. The LED bulb glows when the metal rod is connected but does not glow when the PVC rod is connected. Hence we can say that thermoplastic is a poor conductor of electricity.
