Question
How is scrap iron separated from a heap of waste materials in factories?
Solution
Scrap iron is separated from a heap of waste materials in factories by using large electromagnets fitted to a crane. The electromagnet fitted crane is moved up and away from the waste to drop these scrap iron objects at a separate place. Electromagnets are used for this purpose because one can switch on and off the supply of magnetism during the process of lifting and dropping of the iron pieces.

When the solid A is added to water, it dissolves with the evolution of a lot of heat and making little explosions to form two products B and C. The properties of products B and C are entirely different from those of solid A as well as water. Moreover, products B and C cannot be reconverted into solid A and water. When another solid D is added to water, it dissolves with the absorption of a little heat to form a product E which cools down. The product E shows the properties of both, solid D as well as water. Moreover, product E can be converted into solid D and water.
