1252.

Melting of ice takes place slowly at higher altitudes. Justify this statement by applying the principle of equilibrium.

Answer»

Solution :Melting of ice to water is associated with DECREASE in VOLUME. Since the process is associated with decrease in volume, increase in pressure favours the process. THEREFORE, melting of ice takes place at a faster RATE at higher pressure. But at higher altitudes, the pressure being low, the process takes place slowly since the backward process takes place at a faster rate.

Look at the figure and suggest in which of the vessels A, B,C, or D, the rate of evaporation will be the highest ? Explain.

Answer»

Solution :Vessel B has the smallest SIZE while vessel D is COVERED. Though vessel A and C are of same size, moving fan will accelerate evaporation in vessel C since it is PLACED directly above it. THEREFORE, the RATE of evaporation will be highest in vessel C.

List three characteristics of particles of matter, giving examples.

Answer»

SOLUTION :Characteristics of particles of matter are as follows:
1. Particles of matter have SPACE between them.
Example: When a small amount of salt is added towater, its mixes without theincrease in volume of water.
2. Particles of matter are moving constinuously.
Example: When a crystal of potassium permanganate is added to water, purple COLOUR of potassium permanganate diffuses throughout the water.
3. particles of mater each other.
Example: Put a finger across the running water from a TAP.It breaks the flow. Now remove your fingers. The stream of water from the tap regains.
1285.

List three characteristics of particles of matter. Describe one example for example for each characteristic to illustrate it. Name the characteristics which are responsible for (a) spreading of smell of scent in a room and (b) water taking the shape of the vessel in which it is poured.

Answer»

SOLUTION :For the three characteristics of matter and their examples, consult SECTION 1.2.
(a) Spreading of smell of scent in a room is because of diffusion of the gases. Scent consists of a number of sweet SMELLING gases or VAPOURS.
(B) Water is a liquid and liquids take up the shape of any container in which these are kept.

List three characteristics of particles of matter. Describe one example for each characteristic to illustrate it. Name the characteristics which are responsible for a. Spreading of smell of scent in a room and b. water taking shape of the vessel in which poured.

Answer»

Solution :Characteristics of matter are as FOLLOWS:
1. The particles of matter have space between them. This is known as intermolecular space.
Example: When SMALL amount of sugar is added to water, it gets evenly distributed in water. The particls of one type of matter get into the spaces between particles of the other.
2. THe particles of matter are continuouslay moving.
Example: When a crystal of copper sulphate (or potassium permanganat) is dropped in water,the blue colour of copper sulphate (or the purple colour of potassium permanganate) diffuses throughout the volume of water.
3. The particles of matter attract each other.
Example: If you keep your finger across theruinning water from a tap it BREAKS. When you remove the finger, the stream of water remains together.
The characteristics responsible for:
a. diffusion and B. liquid is non RIGID.

List the factors on which evaporation depends?

Answer»

Solution :1. Surface area exposed to atmosphere. Since evaporation is a surface phenomenon, therefore it increaseswith an INCREASEIN surface area.
2. HUMIDITY :- The air around us cannot hold more than definite amountof water vapour at a giventemperature. If the amount of water in air already high, the rate of evaporation DECREASES. So, evaporation decreases with INCREASE in humidity.
3. Wind Speed : With the increasein wind speed, the particlesof water vapour move away with the wind, decreasing the amount of water vapour in the surrounding. This results in a factor rate of evaporation, So, evaporation with the increase in wind speed.
4. An increase, more number of particles get enough kinetic energyto go into the vapour state.

1297.

Liquids generally lower density as compared to solids. But you must have observed that ice floates on water. Find out why.

Answer»

Solution :Generally the DENSITY of solid is higher than that of liquid. The STRUCTURE of ice is crystalline with VACANT spaces. DUE to this the denisty of ice is less than that of water. HENCE, ice floats on water.

Liquids cannot be compressed and they have fixed volume.

Answer»


ANSWER :1
1299.

Liquids generally have lower density as compared to solids but you must have observed that ice floatis on water. Find out/why.

Answer»

Solution :Ice is formed by the freezing of water. When water FREEZES to form ice, then a number of empty spaces are CREATED in solid ice (which were not present in liquid water) GIVING it a cage-like structure. Due to the presence of some empty spaces, the volume of ice becomes more than an equal mass of water. Because of its greater volume, the DENSITY (mass per unit volume) of ice decreases. And due to its lower density than water, ice floats on water (EVEN though it is a solid).
1300.

Liquids generally have lower density as comparedto solids but you must have observed that ice floats on water find out. Why ?

Answer»

Solution :ICE which is SOLID has vacant SPACES between WATER MOLECULES thus making ice lighter than water. Thus ice floats on water.
