Ans:- The rate of diffusion of smell from hot food is faster than that of cold food as the rate of
diffusion increases with increase in temperature.
3. A diver is able to cut through water in a swimming pool. Which property of matter does this
observation show?
Ans:- Solids can displace liquids as there is less intermolecular force of attraction between the
molecules of liquid than solid.Hence a diver is able to cut through the water in a swimming pool.
7. Give reasons:-
(a) A gas fills completely the vessel in which it is kept.
A gas has weak intermolecular forces attraction and also the particles of gases have high Kinetic
energy.As a result they occupy the space available in the container.
(d) We can easily move our hand in air but to do the same through a solid block of wood we need
a karate expert.
Ans:- (d) We can easily move our hand in air but to do the same through a solid block of wood we
need a karate expert. It is because the molecules of air has less force of attraction between them
and a very small external force can separate them and pass through it. But in case of solids, the
molecules have maximum force of attraction, the particles are tightly bound due to this force.
Hence large amount of external force is required to pass through solid.
8. Liquids generally have lower density as compared to solids. But you must have observed that
ice floats on water. Find out why.
Ans:- Ice is a solid but its density is lower than water due to its structure. The molecules in ice
make a cage like structure with lot of vacant spaces as compared to the spaces present between
the particles of water.Thus the volume of ice is less than water this makes ice float on water.
9. Convert the following temperature to Celsius scale:
(a) 300 K
°C=K-273
= 300 – 273
= 27°C
(b) 573 K
°C=K-273
573 – 273 = 300°C
(b) 100°C
100°C liquid as well as gas
11. For any substance, why does the temperature remain constant during the change of state?
Ans:- During the change of state of any matter heat is supplied to the substance. The molecules of
this matter use heat to overcome the force of attraction between the particles, at this period of
time, temperature remains constant. This extra heat is acquired by the molecules in the form of
hidden heat called latent heat to change from one state of matter to the other state.
13. Why does a desert cooler cool better on a hot dry day?
Ans:- The outer walls of the cooler get sprinkled by water constantly. This water evaporates due to
hot dry weather. Evaporation causes cooling of inside air of cooler. This cool air is sent in the room
by the fan.
14. How does the water kept in an earthen pot (matka) become cool during summer?
Ans:- The earthen pot is porous with lot of pores on it, the water oozes out through these pores
and the water gets evaporated at the surface of the pot thereby causing cooling effect. This makes
the pot cold and the water inside the pot cools by this process.
15. Why does our palm feel cold when we put some acetone or petrol or perfume on it?
Ans:- Acetone, petrol or perfume evaporate when they come into contact with air. The
evaporation causes cooling sensation in our hands.
16. Why are we able to sip hot tea or milk faster from a saucer rather than a cup?
Ans:- Tea in a saucer has larger surface area than in a cup. The rate of evaporation is faster with
increased surface area. The cooling of tea in saucer takes place sooner than in a cup. Hence we are
able to sip hot tea or milk faster from a saucer rather than a cup.
17. What type of clothes should we wear in summer?
We should wear light coloured cotton clothes in summer. Light colour because it reflects heat.
Cotton clothes because it has pores in it, which absorbs sweat and allows the sweat to evaporate
faster thereby giving cooling effect.
TEXTUAL QUESTIONS:-
(b) We can get the smell of perfume sitting several metres away.
Ans: 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.
4. Arrange the following substances in increasing order of forces of attraction between the
particles—water, sugar, oxygen.
(c) (c) 100°C is liquid and gas (Equilibrium between liquid and gas)
ii) Intermolecular spaces and kinetic energy among the water molecules are more.
ii) As per the properties of a solid, it has a definite shape and volume at room
temperature
7. Why is ice at 273 K more effective in cooling than water at the same temperature?
Ans: 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.
