Question 51.


Identify the substance that is more effective in cooling.


  1.     Water at 80C
  2.     Water at 100C
  3.     Ice at 0C
  4.     Steam at 100C
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Ice at 0C
:
C

Ice at 0C can be more effective in cooling because of the phenomenon called latent heat of fusion. Latent heat of fusion of ice is the heat absorbed by ice to change its state to water at 0C . So, ice at 0C  can extract more heat from another substance and give better cooling.


Question 52.


Identify the factors that affect the process of evaporation.


  1.     Temperature
  2.     Surface area
  3.     Humidity
  4.     Density
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Humidity
:
A, B, and C
Evaporation is a process where liquid converts to gases. It is a surface phenomenon.
The factors affecting evaporation are:
Surface area - The increase in surface area increases the rate of evapoartion as it is a surface phenomena.
Temperature - The movement of the particles increases which helps them to escape from the surface easier and faster.
Humidity - If the humidity (water vapour) in the air is more, it is difficult for the other water particles from any surface to enter into the atmosphere. Thus, it decreases the rate of evaporation.
The density of the substance has no role in the process of evaporation.
Question 53.


A fragrance that is sprayed at one end of the room can spread throughout the room by the process of _______.


  1.     diffusion 
  2.     dissolution
  3.     vapourisation
  4.     condensation
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> diffusion 
:
A
Diffusion is a process by which particles of matter intermix with each other, spontaneously. The fragrance from one corner of the room spreads throughout the room as the particles constituting the fragrance intermixes with the particles of air in the room.
Question 54.


Choose the correct statement regarding the conversion of ice into water.


  1.     Ice converts into water by releasing heat.
  2.     Ice converts into water by absorbing heat.
  3.     Ice neither absorbs nor releases heat while converting into water.
  4.     It is not possible to convert ice into water.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Ice converts into water by absorbing heat.
:
B

Ice, being a solid, comprises of very closely packed molecules which possess less kinetic energy. To convert it into the liquid state, heat energy has to be supplied to overcome the forces of attraction between the particles. These particles absorb the heat energy, break the force of attraction and turn into liquid state.
