Answer : If the surface area is increased, the rate of evaporation increases.

Question A karate expert can easily move his hand through a solid block of wood but we cannot. Why?
Answer : In a solid block of wood, the inter-particle forces are very strong and hence, it is not easy to separate the particles. Therefore, it is not easy to move our hand through a solid block of wood, only a karate expert can do it as he has expertise in this.

Question What is latent heat of fusion?
Answer : The heat required to change 1 kg of a solid substance into liquid state at the melting point of the substance.
For example : Amount of heat required to melt ice at 0°C into water, at 0°C will be known as the latent heat of fusion of ice.

Question. Why is ice at 273 K more effective in cooling than water at the same temperature?
Answer : Ice at 273 K will absorb heat energy or latent heat from the medium to overcome the fusion to become water. Hence the cooling effect of ice is more than the water at same temperature because water does not absorb this extra heat from the medium.

Question. Explaln why solids have fixed shape but liquids and gases do not have fixed shape
Answer : solids have fixed shape but liquids and gases do not have fixed shape because the intermolecular space between the atoms of solid matter is very less, the particles just so vibratory and rotatory motion where is an liquid and gases particles or atoms or molecules present In the matter are not so tightly packed In fact they are loosely packed. This change in space between the particles makes them fixed and unfixed In shape.

Question. Pressure and temperature determine the state of a substance. Explain.
Answer : When a solid is heated then there is Increase in temperature which causes breakage In between strong Intermolecular bonds of the atoms. As a result. the atoms move at a distance and start to collide. Thus, there will be increase in the kinetic energy and there will be change In the state of matter. For example, when ice is kept at room temperature then it starts to melt because of the surrounding heat. As a result, it changes into water. on further increasing the temperature, the liquid state will convert into gaseous state. Similarly, when we Increase pressure on a liquid substance or matter then the molecules start to come closer to each other. As a result. the liquid state will change Into solid. Also, when pressure Is Increased on a gas It will start to conve·rt into liquid state.

Question. How can matter change Its state?
Answer : Matter changes state when energy is added or taken away. Most matter changes because of heat energy. When matter is heated enough, the molecules move faster and with greater energy. If enough heat
is added, a solid can become liquid and a liquid can become gas. 

Question. With the help of an example, explain how diffusion of gases in water is essential?
Answer : The gases from the atmosphere diffuse and dissolve in water. Gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse in water, are essential for the survival of aquatic animals and plants. Animals breathe in this oxygen dissolved in water for their survival and plants can use carbon dioxide dissolved in water for photosynthesis.

Question. Give reason for the following observations.
(a) Naphthalene balls disappear with time without leaving any solid.
(b) We can get the smell of perfume sitting several metres away.
Answer : (a) Naphthalene balls disappear with time without leaving any solid, because naphthalene balls sublime and directly changes into vapour state without leaving any solid.
(c) We can get the smell of perfume sitting several metres away because perfume contain volatile solvent and diffuse faster and can reach people sitting several metres away.

Question. What produces more severe burns, boiling water or steam?
Answer : Steam at 1 00 ·c will produce more severe burns as extra heat is hidden in it called latent heat whereas the boiling water does not have this hidden heat.

Question. Express the boiling point of water in Celsius as well as Kelvin scale.
Ans : 100°C and 373 K.

Question. What do you mean by latent heat of vaporization?
Ans : The latent heat of vaporization of a liquid is the quantity of heat in joules required to convert 1 kilogram of the liquid to vapour or gas at its boiling point, without any change in temperature.

Question. What property of gas is used when natural gas is supplied for vehicles?
Ans : A gas is highly compressible and a large quantity of it can be compressed to a small, manageable volume. Thus, natural gas is compressed and is supplied for use by vehicles in the name of CNG (compressed natural gas).

Question. How is pressure developed in a container full of a gas?
Ans : The gaseous particles are free to move in the container. These move at high speed and collide with other particles of the container. The bombardment of the particles on the walls of the container produces a steady force that depends on the temperature. This force per unit area is called as pressure of the gas.

Question. Why evaporation is called surface phenomenon?
Ans : Evaporation is called surface phenomenon as evaporation occur on the surface of liquid.

Question Name two processes from which it may be concluded that the particles of a gas move continuously.
Ans : Compressibility and Brownian movement.

Question Is it not proper to regard the gaseous state of ammonia as vapours? Explain.
Ans :The gaseous state of a substance can be regarded as vapours only in case it is a liquid at room temperature.
Since ammonia is a gas at room temperature, its gaseous state cannot be regarded as vapours. Naphthalene is volatile solid and has a tendency to sublime. So, it changes into vapours completely, thus disappear into the air and no solid is left.

Question. State characteristics of matter demonstrated by :
(i) Diffusion.
(ii) Brownian motion.
Ans : (i) Diffusion involves movement of different particles so that they become intermixed uniformly.
(ii) Brownian motion : It is the zig-zag movement of the small particles suspended in a liquid or a gas.

Question Write the SI unit of temperature?
Ans : Kelvin.

Question. Why is Kelvin scale of temperature regarded as better scale than Celsius?
Ans : As it has wide range of measurement and Kelvin scale of temperature has always positive sign, hence regarded as better scale than Celsius. Kelvin is an absolute thermodynamics scale, which uses its null point as the temperature at which all thermal motion ceases to exist.

Question. What is compressibility? How it is negligible in solids?
Ans : Compressibility is the ability of a substance to be reduced to its volume under pressure. Solids are incompressible as their particles are held together. So, we can tell that compressibility is negligible in solids.

Question. Two cubes of ice are pressed hard between two palms and after releasing the pressure, the cubes join  together. Why?
Ans : Pressure is directly proportional to temperature when we apply pressure, temperature increases then the ice in contact melts and it turns into water. When pressure is removed, the temperature decreases again and melted ice again freezes. Hence, cubes join together.

Question Convert 10°C into Kelvin scale.
Ans : 273 + 10 = 283 K

Question. Does solid ice and liquid water co-exist together? If yes, then at what temperature?
Ans : At 0°C, the three phases of water co-exist called triple point.

Question What is the reason that “Ice has lower density than water”?
Ans : The mass per unit volume of a substance is called density (density = mass/volume). The density of substance decreases as the volume of a substance increases. Space between particles increases when water changes into ice. These spaces are larger as compared to the spaces present between the particles of water. Thus, the volume of ice become greater
as compared to the water. Hence, the density of ice ecome lower than that of water. And, a substance with lower density than water can float on water. Thus, ice floats on water.

Question. Why does the temperature remain constant during the change of state, for any substance?
Ans : On increasing the temperature of solids, the kinetic energy of the particles increases which is used up in changing the state as it overcome the forces of attraction between the particles, therefore, the temperature remains constant during the change of state.

Question What is common among the three states of matter?
Ans : They all contain molecules.

Question. Which property of gas is used in supplying oxygen cylinders to hospitals?
Ans : Compressibility.

Question. Both the process of evaporation and boiling involves he change of state from liquid to gas but still they are different from each other. Justify.

Question. Give state of a matter if this substance has neither a fixed shape nor a fixed volume.
Answer : Gas.

Question. Why cannot you smell its perfume at a short distance when incense stick is not lighted?
Answer : The particles of the perfume (matter) do not have sufficient energy to drift through the air. Thus, we cannot smell it at a few steps away from incense stick.

Question. Why a rubber band is considered as a solid?

Question. Predict the physical state of melting point of a substance is below the room temperature.
Answer : Ice.

Question. What do you mean by vapour?
Answer : A substance that is found in gaseous state only at room temperature is called vapour.

Question. Why is the smell of the perfume of incense stick filled the whole room in few minutes, when lighted?
Answer : When the incense stick is lighted, the heat energy makes the particles of the perfume to move rapidly.
Thus, they easily drift through the air in the room and hence, we can smell it anywhere in the room.

Question. What do you observe when force is applied and then removed on the plunger of the syringe containing air? Give a reason for your answer.
Answer : The plunger moves downward on the application of force to a considerable length. The plunger move backward and takes its original position when the force is removed.
The gases have large intermolecular spaces. So, they easily get compressed on the application of force.
The compressed gases are under high pressure. When the force is removed, this high pressure forces the plunger back to its original position.

Question The Kelvin scale temperature is 0 K. What is the corresponding Celsius scale temperature?
Ans : –273°C

Question. How is the high compressibility property of gas useful to us?
Ans : The gases have high compressibility. This property is used in the following situation :
(i) LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) is a fuel which is made up of petroleum gas. On compressing this petroleum gas it forms liquid.
(ii) Oxygen cylinders in the hospitals have compressed gas filled in it.
(iii) CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) is a natural gas i.e. methane, which is compressed and used as a fuel in vehicles and at home.

Question With the help of an example, explain how diffusion of gases in water is essential?
Ans : The gases from the atmosphere diffuse and dissolve in water. Diffused gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide in water are essential for the survival of aquatic
animals and plants. Animals breathe in this oxygen dissolved in water for their survival and plants can use carbon dioxide dissolved in water for photosynthesis.

Question Is it true to say that fluorescent tube contains plasma? Explain
Ans : It is right to say that fluorescent tube contains plasma. As fluorescent tube has helium or some other rare gas. The particles of the gas get ionized in the presence of high voltage applied. These charged particles are called plasma which glows.

Question A rubber band is a solid, but it can change its shape. Why?
Ans : A rubber band changes shape under force and regains the shape when the force is removed, this is due to less intermolecular force of attraction between the particles.

Question. We can get the smell of perfume sitting several metres away, why?
Ans :
 This is because perfumes diffuse very fast and can reach to people sitting several metres away.

Question When salt or sugar is poured into different kinds of vessels, why do they take the shape of vessel as they are solid?
Ans : Salt or sugar takes the shape of containing vessel, but does not change its individual shape. For example : Sugar crystal is cubical and they remain cubical in any vessel.

Question. What is dry ice?
Ans : Solid carbon dioxide obtained by cooling and applying pressure on carbon dioxide gas. It does not melt so it is called dry ice.

Question What happens to the rate of diffusion if the temperature is increased?
Ans : With increased temperature, the rate of diffusion also increases as the particles gain energy and vibrate more.

Question Liquids and gases can be compressed but it is difficult  to compress solids. Why?
Ans : Liquids and gases have intermolecular space; on applying pressure externally on them the molecules can come closer thereby minimizing the space between them. But in case of solids, there is no intermolecular space to do so.

Question A balloon when kept in Sun, bursts after some time. Why?
Ans : The balloon has air filled in it. The balloon when kept in Sun gets heated and the air inside it also gets heated. The molecules of air get energy, and vibrate faster thereby exerting large force on the walls of the balloon. Due to this expansion of gases the balloon bursts.

Question Define melting point.
Ans : The temperature at which a solid melts to become liquid at the atmospheric pressure is called its melting point.

Question. Define matter.
Ans : Anything that occupies space and has mass and is felt by senses is called matter.

Question Why do people perspire a lot on a hot humid day?
Ans : On a hot humid day, due to the heat our body starts sweating and gives cooling effect by evaporation. But the air cannot hold any more water on a humid day and therefore, the sweat or perspiration is seen.

Question Why is it advisable to use pressure cooker at higher altitudes?
Ans : At higher altitudes, the atmosphere pressure is low and the water boils very fast and evaporates at faster rate, therefore, the pressure is required to increase the cooking process and this is done by using pressure cooker which increases the pressure inside the container and cooks food faster.

Question What happens if you put copper sulphate crystals in water?
Ans : Copper sulphate crystals mixed between the spaces of molecules of water and disappear.
