Question 41 Mark
Write the full form of BEC.
Answer
Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC): A state of matter in which separate atoms or subatomic particles, cooled to near absolute zero (0K, - 273.15°C, or - 459.67°F; K = kelvin), coalesce into a single quantum mechanical entity-that is, one that can be described by a wave function-on a near-macroscopic scale.

Question 51 Mark
Why solid ice floats on water?
Answer
It’s because the water which is in solid form have lighter density when compared to liquid form.

Question 61 Mark
Why particles start vibrating in solids?
Answer
Because the molecules or particle in the solids are compactly packed due to which they can't move here and there so instead of this they vibrate.

Question 71 Mark
Why is solid carbon dioxide known as dry ice?
Answer
Since solid carbon dioxide directly changes into carbon dioxide gas (or sublimes), and does not melt to produce a liquid (like ordinary ice), it is called dry ice.

Question 81 Mark
Why do liquids flow?
Answer
Liquids flow because of the following factors:
Since molecules are not densely packed in liquid state, they can freely move.
Forces of attraction between the molecules are weak, therefore they can move in random directions.
Therefore, liquid flow and can take the shape of the vessels in which they are kept.

Question 91 Mark
Why do gases diffuse very fast?
Answer
Gases diffuse very fast because the particles in gases move very quickly in all directions.

Question 101 Mark
Why does the level of water not change when salt is dissolved in water?
Answer
The level of the water doesn't change because we know that the particles of the liquid is not closely packed their is a small gapes between the particle so the salt particles come in between that gapes that's why the level doesn't raise.

Question 131 Mark
Which property of gases helps us in detecting the leakage of LPG gas?
Answer
The property of gases help us in detecting the leakage of LPG gas is diffusion, since when LPG diffuses with air, it spreads in surrounding and reaches our nose, so we come to know that the gas is leaked.

Question 161 Mark
When sugar is dissolved in water, there is no increase in the volume. Which characteristic of matter is illustrated by this observation?
Answer
The characteristic of matter illustrated by this observation is that the particles of matter have spaces between them.

Question 191 Mark
When a drop of blue ink is put in water, the blue colour spreads and the whole solution becomes blue. Name the phenomenon due to which this happens.
Answer
Diffusion is the process through which the ink is dissolved into the water.
It plays an important role in transferring of the solution from area of low concentration to the higher concentration.
In other words, the solvent with higher solute percentage attracts the solution that is lower in terms of the concentration of the solvent.

Question 201 Mark
When a crystal of potassium permanganate is placed in a beaker, its purple colour spreads throughout the water. What does this observation tell us about the nature of potassium permanganate and water?
Answer
It shows that each potassium permanganate crystal is made up of millions of small particles and particles of water have spaces between them.

Question 211 Mark
When a crystal of copper sulphate is placed at the bottom of a beaker containing water, the water slowly turns blue. Why?
Answer
The spreading of blue colour of copper sulphate into water, on its own, is due to the diffusion of copper sulphate particles into water.

Question 261 Mark
What is the physical state of water:
at 100°C?
Answer
Either a liquid or a gas (steam) as 100°C is the boiling point of water as well as the condensation temperature of steam.

Question 271 Mark
What is the physical state of water at:
  1. 250ºC
  2. 100ºC
Answer
  1. Gaseous State (As Boiling temperature of the water is 100°C).
  2. Since water boils at this temperature thus it can exist in both liquid and gaseous form. At this temperature, after getting the heat equal to the latent heat of vaporisation, water starts changing from liquid state to gaseous state.

Question 371 Mark
What is meant by saying that the latent heat of vaporization of water is 22.5 × 105J/ kg?
Answer
It means that 22.5 × 105J of heat is required to change 1Kg of water (at its boiling point, 100C) into steam at the same temperature of 100°C.

Question 381 Mark
What is meant by saying that the latent heat of fusion of ice is 3.34 × 105J/ kg?
Answer
It means that 3.34 × 105J of heat has to be supplied to change 1Kg of ice (at its melting point, 0°C) into water at the same temperature of 0°C.

Question 391 Mark
What is meant by density?
Answer
The density, or more precisely, the volumetric mass density, of a substance is its mass per unit volume. The symbol most often used for density is $\rho$ (The lower case Greek letter rho), although the Latin letter D can also be used. Mathematically, density is defined as mass divided by volume:
$\rho=\frac{\text{m}}{\text{V}}$
