(e) Pyrex glass (iii) cooking utensils
Question 4
Select the correct alternative
(a) In evaporation
1. all molecules of liquid begin to escape out
2. only the molecules at the surface escape out
3. the temperature of the liquid rises by absorbing heat from the surroundings.
4. the molecules get attracted within the liquid.
Answer: The correct answer is 2. only the molecules at the surface escape out
(b) The rate of evaporation of a liquid increases when:
1. temperature of liquid falls
2. liquid is poured in a vessel of less surface area
3. air is blown above the surface of liquid
4. humidity increases.
Answer: The correct answer is 3. air is blown above the surface of liquid
(c) During boiling or vaporization
1. all molecules take part
2. temperature rises
3. no heat is absorbed
4. the average kinetic energy of molecules increases.
Answer: The correct answer is 1. all molecules take part
(d) The boiling point of a liquid is increased by
1. increasing the volume of liquid
2. increasing the pressure on the liquid
3. adding ice to the liquid
4. decreasing pressure on liquid.
Answer: The correct answer is 2. increasing the pressure on the liquid
(e) Two rods A and Bof the same metal, but of length 1 m and 2 m respectively, are heated from 0 to 100. Then
1. both the rods A and B elongate the same
2. the rod A elongates more than the rod B
3. the rod B elongates more than the rod A
4. the rod A elongates, but the rod B contracts.
Answer: The correct answer is 3. the rod B elongates more than the rod A
(f) Two rods A and B of the same metal, same length, but one solid and the other hollow, are heated to the same rise in temperature. Then
1. the solid rod A expands more than the hollow rod B
2. the hollow rod B expands more than the solid rod A
3. the hollow rod B contracts, but the solid rod A expands
4. both the rods A and B expand the same.
Answer: The correct answer is 4. both the rods A and B expand the same.
(g) A given volume of alcohol and the same volume of water is heated from the room temperature to the same temperature then.
1. alcohol contracts, but water expands
2. water contracts, but alcohol expands
3. water expands more than alcohol
4. alcohol expands more than water.
Answer: The correct answer is 4. alcohol expands more than water.
(h) The increase in length of a metal rod depends on
1. the initial length of the rod only
2. the rise in temperature only
3. the material of rod only
4. all the above three factors.
Answer: The correct answer is 4. all the above three factors.
(i) The correct statement is
1. Iron rims are cooled before they are placed on the cartwheels.
2. A glass stopper gets tighten on warming the neck of the bottle.
