General Instructions :
1. The Marking Scheme provides general guidelines to reduce subjectivity and maintain
uniformity. The answers given in the marking scheme are the best suggested answers.
2. Marking be done as per the instructions provided in the marking scheme. (It should
not be done according to ones own interpretation or any other consideration).
3. Alternative methods be accepted. Proportional marks be awarded.
4. If a question is attempted twice and the candidate has not crossed any answer, only
first attempt be evaluated and EXTRA written with second attempt.
5. In case where no answers are given or answers are found wrong in this Marking
Scheme, correct answers may be found and used for valuation purpose.

- / SECTION-A

1 Alloys generally have much higher (almost) (100 1000 times more) resistivity than that of the 1
pure metals used to from them.

2 Change in the amount of water in cells 1

3 The oxides of carbon, nitrogen and sulphur 1

released on burning fossil fuels are acidic oxides which when washed down with rain water
cause acid rain.

Hike is supply voltage/ connecting too many appliances to a single socket/ fault in
appliance/ damaged in insulation ( any two)
Prevented by the use of a fuse/ MCB

14 Electrical appliance fan, washing machine, mixer (Any two) 3

Flemings left Hand Rule It states that Stretch the forefinger, the central finger and the
thumb of your left hand mutually perpendicular to each other. If the forefinger shows the
direction of the magnetic field and the central finger that of the current then the thumb will
point towards the direction of motion of the conductor.

15 Villi 3
Villi are richly supplied with blood vessels which take the absorbed food to each and every
cell of the body. It also absorbs water.

16 (a) To withstand high pressure of the blood (emerging from the heart) 3
(b) Because they do not maintain their own body temperature, therefore they do not
require separation of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood (which allows efficient
supply of oxygen)/they have low energy needs.
(c) Because plant bodies have a large proportion of dead cells (in many tissues)

17 Auxin diffuses away from the support, this side grows faster, causes the tendril to bend 3
around the support.

18 (i) It would do large amount of work per unit volume or mass 3

(ii) Easy to store and transport
(iii) Should be economical/Non pollutant

 19 (a) Aditya, awareness about energy conservation 3
(b) (i) Solar water heater runs an renewable source of energy.
(ii) Saves electrical energy produced by burning fossil fuels thus it helps in
reducing global warming.
(any two points 1 mark each)

20 (a) Na, Ca, and Mg are highly reactive 5

(b) Due to its low melting point
(c) Silver ornaments gradually turn blackish due to the formation of thin layer of silver
sulphide on these surface by the action of hydrogen sulphide gas present in air.
(d) Gold is highly ductile. Even 1g of gold can be drawn into long thin wires low melting
point.

21 (i) Dil, HCl cannot be kept since Al reacts with acid to evolve H2 gas. 5

2Al(s)16HCl(aq) 2AlCl3(aq) 3H2(g)

(ii) Dil HNO3 can be kept as initially al oxidised by acid to form Al2O3 and gets deposited
on the surface of the metal.

(iii) ZnCl2 cannot be kept since chemical reaction will takes place.

2Al(s)3ZnCl2(aq) 2 AlCl3 (aq) 3Zu(s)

(iv) Water can be kept but we cannot keep steam since chemical reaction takes place.

2Al(s) 3H2O(g) Al2O3(s)3H2(g)

Steam

(v) displacement reaction in (i) and (iii)

Combination reaction in (ii) and (iv)

 22 (a) When brought closer magnetic c field lines through it increase so induced current is 5
produced. When kept at rest in front of magnet no change in field lines takes place so
induced current is zero so no deflection . when taken away , field lines decrease the
current induced in opposite direction
(b) earth wire is a wire connected to a metal plate deep in the earth near a house used
for safely purpose so that in case of any leakage of current, it passes on the earth.
