Answer
Distinction between Liquid and Vapour on the basis of:
4. What is evaporation ? Explain it on the basis of molecular motion.
Answer
Evaporation: The change of liquid into its vapours at all temperature from its surface is called evaporation.
Explanation of Evaporation on the bases of molecular motion:
Molecules of liquid have more spaces, less molecular force of attraction and more K.E. than molecules of solids and can move through out the liquid.
While moving they can not escape the surface as they are being pulled inside by other molecules as there are no molecules above the surface. But when some molecules acquire sufficient K.E. (Threshold velocity), they over come the attractive forces of other molecules and escape into the open space above the liquid. These escaping molecules form the vapour of the liquid and the process called Evaporation continues till all the liquid evaporates.
5. Do all the molecules of a liquid take part in evaporation ? If not, explain your answer.
Answer
No, all the molecules of the liquid do not take part in evaporation only those molecules near the surface of liquid which acquire sufficient Kinetic energy (Threshold velocity) escape as they over come attractive forces of other molecules. Then other molecules come to the surface of the liquid and acquire more K.E. and escape the surface. This continues till all the liquid evaporates.
6. No heat is supplied to a liquid during evaporation. How does then the liquid change into its vapours ?
Answer
Though no heat is supplied to the liquid but molecules near the surface of the liquid acquire sufficient kinetic energy by collisions with other liquid molecules and with this K.E. they over come the attractive forces of other molecules and change into vapours.
7. Comment on the statement ‘evaporation is a surface phenomenon’.
Answer
Change of liquid into vapours at all temperatures from the surface is called evaporation. Evaporation takes place at surface in those molecules which are at surface and have sufficient K.E. to over come attractive force due to inner surrounding molecules.
8. Why is cooling produced when a liquid evaporates ?
Answer
For changing liquid into vapours heat is needed this heat is taken from the container or surroundings and temperature of container or body itself fall and cooling is produced.
9. Give reason for the increase in rate of evaporation of a liquid when
(a) air is blown above the liquid
(b) surface area of liquid is increased
(c) temperature of liquid is increased.
Answer
(a) Blowing Air on Liquid surface increase rate of evaporation: Blowing air takes away with it the molecules of liquid escaping out of the surface. To take their place, other molecules escape out from the surface of liquid.
(b) Surface area increases the rate of evaporation: On increasing the area of the surface, number of molecules escaping out from the surface increases.
(c) Increase in temperature increases the rate of evaporation: Increase in temperature increases K.E.
(K.E = 1/2 Mv2). More and more molecules come to the surface of liquid hence the rate of evaporation will increase with increase in temperature.
10. What is boiling ? Explain it on the basis of molecular motion?
Answer
Boiling: The change of liquid to vapours on heating at a constant temperature is called BOILING”
K.E = Mv2: more the speed of molecules more is the kinetic energy.
Heating of the liquid increases the average K.E. of liquid molecules and molecules acquire sufficient
K.E. needed to overcome the force of attraction of other molecules. These molecules start leaving the liquid not only at the surface but also near the walls of the containing vessel and bubbles are seen on the walls of vessel. This causes the agitation in the whole of the liquid and this is called boiling.
11. Why does bubbles appear when a liquid is heated ?
Answer
When liquid is heated formation of vapours takes place which appear in the form of bubbles.
12. What is the change in average kinetic energy of molecules of a liquid during boiling at its boiling point ?
Answer
Average Kinetic Energy is the measure of temperature of body. When temperature of body increases the average kinetic energy increases and when Average Kinetic energy decreases there is decrease of body temperature and hence at boiling point average Kinetic energy increases.
13. How is the heat energy supplied to a liquid used during boiling at a fixed temperature ?
Answer
When heat is supplied, temperature of liquid rises continuously till the water starts boiling at 100°C. Once the water starts boiling, its temperature does not rise further, although heat is still being supplied. This heat is being used to change each and every water molecule into vapour.
14. Name two ways of change of liquid state to the vapour state and distinguish them.
Answer
Two ways of change of liquid state to vapour state are:
(i) Evaporation
(ii) Boiling.
Difference between evaporation and boiling:
15. What do you understand by thermal expansion of a substance ?
Answer
The expansion of a substance on heating is called the thermal expansion of the substance.
16. Give two examples of the substances which expand on heating.
Answer
Iron, water expand on heating.
17. Describe an experiment to demonstrate the thermal expansion in solids.
Answer
Experiment: [Gravesand’s ball and ring experiment]
Take metallic ball and ring so that ball can pass through ring easily. Now heat the ball.
We see that heated ball cannot pass through the same ring. This is because on heating
the ball increases in size. Now on cooling the ball again it can pass through the ring.
This experiment shows that solids expand on heating and contract on cooling.
18. State three factors on which depend the linear expansion of a metal rod on heating.
Answer
Factors on which increase in length of a rod depend when heated are:
- Length of rod L. Increase in length is directly proportional to original length.
- Temperature of rod. It is directly proportional to increase in temperature.
- Nature of material of rod.
∴ Increase in length of rod = (L2 – L1)
and increase in temperature (t2 – t1)
∴ [L2 – L1] ∝ L1 (t2 – t1)
But the increase in length of rod does not depend on whether the rod is solid or hollow.
19. Two iron rods – one 10 m long and the other 5 m long, are heated to the same rise in temperature. Which will expand more ?
Answer
Lt – L0 ∝ L0
∴ The rod having greater length will expand more when rods are heated to the same
temperature.
∴ Rod with 10 m length will expand more.
20. Two identical rods of copper are heated to different temperatures one by 5°C and the other by 10°C. Which rod will expand more ?
Answer
Two rods with same length and material are heated to different temperature.
Lt-L0 ∝ t
∴ Rod with higher temperature i. e. at 10°C will expand more.
21. One rod of copper and another identical rod of iron are heated to the same rise in temperature. Which rod will expand more? Give reason.
Answer
When two identical rods (same length) are of different material and heated to same rise in temperature, the copper rod will expand more than iron, since expansion depends on nature of material.
(Coefficient of linear expansion of copper 17 ×10-6 per °C > iron 13 ×10-6 per °C)
22. Two identical rods- one hollow and the other solid, are heated to the same rise in temperature. Which will expand more ?
Answer
When two identical rods are heated to the same range of temperature, solid rod will expand more.
More heat is present in solid rod.
23. In the ball and ring experiment, if the ball after heating is left to cool on the ring for some time, the ball again passes through the ring. Explain the reason.
Answer
On heating the ball expands and increases in size and cannot pass the ring when left on it. As the ball cools, it contracts, size becomes less than ring and passes the ring.
24. Explain the following:
(a) The telephone wires break in winter.
(b) Iron rims are heated before they are fixed on the wooden wheels.
(c) The gaps are left between the successive rails on a railway track.
(d) A glass stopper stuck in the neck of a bottle can be removed by pouring hot water on the neck of the bottle.
(e) A cement floor is laid in small pieces with gaps in between.
Answer
(a) Metals expand on heating (in summer) and contract on cooling (in winter). Therefore while putting up the wires between two poles, care is taken that they are kept tight while laying them in winter as they sag in summer due to expansion.
(b) Iron rims are made slightly smaller in diameter than the wooden wheel and on heating wheel expands and can easily slip over the wooden wheel and on cooling the rim contracts and makes a tight fit over the wooden wheel.
(c) In summer due to considerable rise in temperature, the gaps allow for the expansion of rails, otherwise the rail will bend side ways.
(d) By pouring hot water on the neck of the bottle, the neck expands and stuck glass stopper can easily be removed.
(e) In summer when temperature rises small pieces of cement expand and to allow expansion gaps are left between small pieces.
25. Why is one end of a steel girder in a bridge kept on rollers instead of fixing it in pillar ?
Answer
In summer when temperature increases considerably the bridge made of metal expands
and rollers slide to allow for expansion otherwise the bridge may break the pillar.
26. A metal plate is heated. State three factors on which the increase in its area will depend.
Answer
Three factors are:
- Original area of plate A0.
- Rise in temperature t.
- Nature of material of plate.
27. A cubical metal solid block is heated. How will its volume change ?
Answer
When a solid is heated, it expands in all directions. The volume of a cube also increases.
Let V0 be the volume of cube of side L0 at 0°C. i.e. V0 = L30 – V
When temperature increases to t°C each side increases to Vt
∴ Vt = Lt3
Increase in volume = (Vt — V0) [Lt3 - L30]
Increase in temperature = (t - 0)°C = t°C
28. Describe an experiment to show that liquids expand on heating.
Answer
Experiment:
- Take round bottomed flask filled with water.
- Close its mouth with air-tight cork having delivery tube through it.
- Mark the level of water. Let it be at A.
- Now heat the flask. As water gets heated in flask, the level of water in the tube rises from A to B.
- This proves that liquids expand on heating.
- Take a laboratory Celsius thermometer Suspend it with the help of a stand.
- Note the level of mercury thread in it. Let it be at A.
- Now take hot water in a beaker and as shown, set up the arrangement.
- The mercury thread rises to B by gaining temperature.
- This shows that liquids expand on heating.
29. State one application of thermal expansion of liquids.
Answer
Application of Thermal Expansion of Liquids:
- An important application is mercury thermometer or alcohol thermometer.
- When the bulb of the thermometer is kept in contact with a hot body the mercury expand and the level of mercury rises in the capillary tube.
30. Describe an experiment to show that air expands on heating.
Answer
- Take a glass flat bottomed flask.
- Close its mouth with a cork having capillary tube containing indicator visible in the tube as shown.
- Make it air tight. Place the flask in hot water.
- After few minutes, we see the indicator moving up.
- This happens because air inside the flask expands with rise in temperature.
- This proves that gases expand on heating.
31. An empty glass bottle is fitted with a narrow tube at its mouth. The open end of the tube is kept in a beaker containing water. When the bottle is heated, bubbles of air are seen escaping into water. Explain the reason.
Answer
When the bottle is heated, air in it expands and escapes the water in the form of bubbles.
32.Which of the following will expand more, when heated to the same temperature : (a) solid (b) liquid and (c) gas?
Answer
(c) Gas will expand more as the inter-molecular force of attraction in gas molecules is least and K.E. is maximum.
33. Describe an experiment to show that same volume of different liquids heated to same rise in temperature expand by different amounts.
Answer
Cubical Expansion of different Liquids is different:
Experiment: Take four identical glass flasks each fitted with a narrow glass tube through a cork at its mouth. Fill flask A with water, B with kerosene, C with alcohol and D with Benzene. So that volume of each is same i.e. to the same level and their levels are visible above hot water bath. Put enough hot water in hot-water-bath. So that each flask is in the hot water. After some time we will see that different liquids rise to different levels. Water expands the least and benzene the most. This shows that different liquids of same volume expand by different amount.
34. 100 ml of each of the following liquid is heated from 10°C to 50°C. Which will expand more : (a) water (b) benzene (c) alcohol ?
Answer
100 ml. of each means same volume of each liquid heated 10°C to 50°C means same rise in temperature. Hence, Benzene will expand more Water will expand least.
35. Water is heated from 0°C to 4°C. Will it expand ?
Answer
Substances expand on heating.
But water contracts with heated from 0°C to 4°C. After that i.e. above 4°C water starts expanding.
36. What do you mean by anomalous behaviour of water ?
Answer
Substances when heated expand. Their density [m/v] decrease. But in case of water:
When water is heated from 0°C to 4°C it contract and density increases, heating water above 4°C starts expanding and density of water decrease. This means water has maximum density at 4°C. This is called anomalous behaviour of water.
37. How does the density of a substance (solid, liquid and gas) change on heating ?
Answer
Density = Mass/Volume
In case of solids, when temperature is increased, increase in volume is very small and decrease in density is not appreciable. In case of liquids and gases, as the temperature increases, volume increases by an appreciable amount and therefore decrease in their density is quite considerable.
