Washed

Setting bath of dil.
Sulphuric Acid

Spinneret

Dried on roller

Wound on
bobbin
Answer
The given flow chart describes the
process of making rayon from
cellulose. First, cellulose is extracted
from shredded wood pulp. Then, the
cellulose is dissolved in a solution of
Sodium hydroxide. Then, the mixture
is immersed in a bath of dilute
sulphuric acidd.
After this, the
mixture is passed into the spinneret
where threads are drawn. This thread

Study the flow chart which
describes the process of making
rice husk cement and write a
paragraph describing the process
Equal weights
Rice husk

Lime sludge

Waste lime in
sugar and other
industries

Mixed thoroughly

Cakes prepared

Rice husk cement

Dried in sunlight

Ground to fine
powder

Burnt in the open

Ash collected
Answer
Rice husk and lime sludge are mixed
together in equal quantity. The mixing
is done so thoroughly that the
ingredients cannot be easily separated.
Secondly, the mixed substance is
made into cakes and dried sufficiently
in sunlight. Next, it is burnt in the
open in a furnace and as a result,
reactive ash is formed which can be
ground to powder.
The powder is
Example 3
Describe the process of
purification of water in a
paragraph
Answer
The purification of water is basically a twostep process. As the first step, water is
allowed to stand in large reservoirs where
most of the mud, clay and silt settle; this is
called sedimentation. Often, in water with
high mud content, lime and aluminium
sulphates are added to water in the setting
reservoirs. These chemicals react in water
to form aluminium hydroxide, which settles
slowly and carries much of the impurities to
the bottom of the reservoirs. As the second
step, water is filtered through beds of sand

Example 6
Describe the process of
classification of Education in a
paragraph.
Answer
Education is broadly classified into three
categories.
They are school education,
collegiate education and higher education.
This division is based on the level of
education.
Next, school education is
divided
into
two
branches
namely
elementary education and secondary and
higher secondary education. On its part,
collegiate education is branched into three
parts. They are:Arts and Science education,
professional education and education given
by polytechnics and special institutions.
