Question 12 Marks
Explain, why are the exposed water pipes lagged with straw during severe winter?
Answer
Water freezes at sub-zero temperature and in doing so expands (anomalous behaviour of water). So exposed water pipes during severe winter are lagged with straw so as to provide sufficient space for expansion of freezing water.

Question 22 Marks
Explain, why are the taps left dripping in sub-zero temperature during winter?
Answer
Water freezes at sub-zero temperature and in doing so expands (anomalous behaviour of water).
So taps are left dripping in sub-zero temperature during winter so as to provide sufficient space for expansion of freezing water.

Question 32 Marks
Explain, why does a glass bottle completely filled with water and tightly capped burst when placed in a freezer?
Answer
A glass bottle completely filled with water and closed tightly is likely to burst in the freezer of refrigerator because water changes into ice and its volume increases. Since water when cooled from $4^{\circ} C$ to $0^{\circ} C$ expands. Thus, exerts large pressure and glass bottle bursts.

Question 42 Marks
Explain, why do water pipes burst during severe winter?
Answer
In severe winter, water pipe lines often burst because water freeze at sub-zero temperature and in doing so expands. Since there is no space within the pipes for expanding ice, it exerts very large pressure and bursts open the steel pipes.

Question 52 Marks
Explain, why are soft drink bottles not completely filled?
Answer
On lowering the temperature below $4^{\circ} C$, water expands due to its anomalous behaviour. So, if soft drink bottles are completely filled, then they may burst and cause accident. As a result, soft drink bottles are not completely filled.

Question 62 Marks
How do fishes survive in frozen lakes?
Answer
Fishes survive in pond even when the atmospheric temperature is below $0^{\circ} C$. It is because of anomalous expansion of water. When the temperature falls below $0^{\circ} C$ water changes into ice and rises to the top and ice being poor conductor of heat helps to keep water below it at $4^{\circ} C$ and fish can live in pond water.

Question 82 Marks
What do you understand by the anomalous expansion of water?
Answer
Anomalous expansion: A liquid which does not behave like a normal liquid on heating or cooling is said to have anomalous expansion. On heating or cooling, water does not behave like a normal liquid. Volume of water increases if we heat or cool it, provided initially the water is at $4^{\circ} C$.

Question 92 Marks
A body absorbs 1680 J of heat energy. How many calories of heat is absorbed by the body?
Answer
Heat energy absorbed by body $= Q =1680 J$
We know $1 cal =4.2 J$
$
\begin{array}{l}
\rightarrow Q =1680 J=1680 / 4.2 Cal \\
Q=400 Cal
\end{array}

Question 102 Marks
Define calorie. How many joules make one calorie?
Answer
One Calorie : One calorie is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water through $1^{\circ} C$.
There are 4.2 J in one calorie
$
1 Cal=4.2 J

Question 112 Marks
State three differences between heat and temperature.
Answer
Heat :
1. Heat is a form of energy which flows.
2 Its S.I. unit is joule or J.
3. It flows from hot body to cold body.
Temperature:
1. Temperature is a quantity which tells the thermal atate of body.
2 Ita S.I. unit is Kelvin or K.
3. It determines the direction of flow of heat when two bodies at different temp, are placed in contact.

Question 122 Marks
Define temperature (a) on conventional basis (b) on the basis of kinetic theory of matter.
Answer
(a) Temperature: The degree of hotness coldness of a body is called temperature. OR Temperature is the effect of heat energy which determines the thermal atate of a body.
(b) Temperature: On the basis of kinetic theory of matter, temperature is the average kinetic energy of all the molecules of a substance.

Question 132 Marks
Define heat energy (a) on conventional basis (b) on the basis of kinetic theory of matter.
Answer
(a) Heat energy: It is a form of energy which causes in us the sensation of hotnesa or coldness.
(b) Heat energy: On the basis of kinetic theory of matter, heat energy is defined as the aum total of kinetic and potential energiea of all the molecules of a given substance.
