Sunny and Bunny are neighbours staying in the same apartment. In summer vacation, one day they wanted to prepare some snaks for eating. During that process, the food material fell on the floorand the beautiful marble flooring became dirty. Sunny was afraid that his mother would scold him and in aa hurry, brought some acid to clean the floor. But, Bunny stopped him and said that it will spoil the flooring permanently. Why did Bunny say so? Give reason. |
| Answer» Solution :The major component of marble is `CaCO_(3)`. It being BASIC in NATURE, REACTS with an acid to FORM salt and water (neutralisation REACTION). Hence acids being reactive with marble, they cannot be used for cleaning marble flooring. | |

State and explain the anomalous expansion of water. |
| Answer» Solution :In GENERAL, solids posses greater densities than liquids. Therefore, for such liquids, the density DECREASES with an increase in temperature as the liquids expand on heating. However, in the case of water, it is different. Ice has lower density than water at the same temperature. As ice gets converted to water from `0^(@)C` its density increases and this trend continues upto `4^(@)C` temperature. Beyond `4^(@)C`, water shows NORMAL trend of decreases in density with increase in temperature. Therefore, density of water is maximum at `4^(@)C` (1g/cc). From `4^(@)C` to `0^(@)C`, water undergoes expansion while all other liquids undergo CONTRACTION. Since this trend is opposite to the normal trend, this is called anomalous expansion of water. | |
