Question 11 Mark
Describe comparison of densities in the three states of matter.
Answer
The same number of particles in a gas spread further apart than in the liquid or solid states, thus the density is higher in case of solid than that of in the liquid and the least is in the gas. Increasing order of density of three states of matters is as follows: Gas < Liquid < Solid.

Question 21 Mark
Why an iron needle sinks in water but the iron ship floats in water ?
Answer
The weight of the water displaced by the ship is equal to its weight, so it floats. Whereas the weight of the water displaced by the iron nail is less than its weight so the iron nail sinks.

Question 31 Mark
Why do objects made of wood or plastic float in water ?
Answer
If an object is more dense than water it will sink when placed in water, and if it is less dense than water it will float. Therefore wood and plastic floats on water as they have very es density.

Question 41 Mark
Why do objects like metals or stones sink in water ?
Answer
Objects like metals or stones sink in water due to the fact that the density of metal or stone is more than the density of water, and hence it sinks.

Question 51 Mark
Two solids A and B of density $2.5 gm ^{-3}$ and $0.80 gm ^{-3}$ are placed in a liquid L of density $1.2 gm ^{-3}$. Which solid is likely to float and why?
Answer
Solid B will float because its density is lower than the density of the liquid L.

Question 61 Mark
How is sea breeze formed ? Explain.
Answer
The warm air expands due to lesser density, decreasing the pressure over the land near the coast. In comparison to the air above the land, the air above the sea has a relatively higher pressure, causing air to flow from the high pressure towards the lower pressure resulting in a sea breeze.

Question 71 Mark
How is land breeze formed ? Explain.
Answer
During night, the land gets cooled down quicker as compared to the sea. The air above the sea is thus hotter than the air above the land. This air rises up and is replaced from the relatively cooler air from the land in the form of Land breeze.

Question 81 Mark
What is the importance of above phenomenon in the formation of weather?
Answer
Due to the above phenomenon, the wind speed increases and low-pressure & high-pressure are created. This leads to change in weather

Question 91 Mark
How does the density of gases change with the rise in temperature ?
Answer
There is a decrease in density of a gas when increase in the temperature because the intermolecular space between the gas molecules is increased as a result volume increases and density decreases.

Question 101 Mark
How does the density of a liquid change with the rise in temperature ?
Answer
On cooling a substance like liquid causes molecules to slow down and get slightly closer together, occupying a smaller volume that results in an increase in density. Therefore, with rise in temperature, the density decreases.

Question 111 Mark
Briefly describe how will you find experimentally, density of kerosene oil with a density bottle.
Answer
You have to find the mass of an empty density bottle. After that, fill the bottle with water and weigh the bottle once again. Now repeat the same with kerosene. Now, divide the mass of the kerosene by mass of the water and you will get the density of kerosene.

Question 121 Mark
You are provided with a glass stopper and a measuring cylinder. How will you proceed to find the density of stopper ? Diagrams not required.
Answer
You have to insert the glass stopper in the measuring cylinder then mark and record. Then subtract the initial volume of water from that of the water and the glass stopper to get the volume of the stopper
