Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide. It changes directly from solid to gas without becoming liquid. Hence, dry ice is solid CO₂.

Pure water is
  • a)
    acidic
  • b)
    basic
  • c)
    neutral
  • d)
    All of these
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Heavy water is used to produce deuterium. It is also used as a tracer to study chemical and biochemical reactions. Additionally, it acts as a moderator in nuclear reactors, so all are correct.

After addition of salt in the water
  • a)
    boiling point increases
  • b)
    boiling point decreases
  • c)
    no effect on boiling point
  • d)
    freezing point increases
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Salt raises the boiling point of water by increasing its boiling temperature. This happens because dissolved salt makes it harder for water molecules to escape as vapour. Therefore, boiling point increases.

What we can do to make water potable?
  • a)
    boiling
  • b)
    add potassium permanganate
  • c)
    addition of bleaching powder
  • d)
    All of the above

  • a)
    below 4°C
  • b)
    at 4°C
  • c)
    above 4°C
  • d)
    at 0°C
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Focus Academy answered
Water has a special property of maximum density at 4°C. At this temperature, water occupies least volume and becomes heaviest. This helps aquatic life survive in cold regions.

Fishes are able to live even if lake’s upper layer becomes ice
  • a)
    density of water is less
  • b)
    density of ice is more
  • c)
    density of water of lake is more
  • d)
    All of the above
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Focus Academy answered
Water is densest at 4°C and stays at the bottom of lakes. Ice floats on the top layer and forms an insulating cover. This allows aquatic life to survive in the lower liquid water.

Characteristic of pure water is
  • a)
    presence of harmful microorganisms
  • b)
    impure and odorous water
  • c)
    presence of chemicals
  • d)
    presence of oxygen in adequate amount
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Pure water is clean, colourless and free from harmful impurities. It should contain adequate dissolved oxygen for supporting aquatic life. Hence, presence of oxygen in adequate amount is correct.

Drinkable water on Earth is
  • a)
    97.2%
  • b)
    2.15%
  • c)
    0.65%
  • d)
    0.0%
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Most of the Earth’s water is salty and not drinkable. Only a very small part of fresh water is available for human use. Hence, drinkable water is nearly 0.0% when compared to total water.

In summers, wet clothes dry very fastly due to
  • a)
    condensation
  • b)
    evaporation
  • c)
    Neither (A) nor (B)
  • d)
    Both (A) and (B)
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Heat in summer increases the rate of evaporation. Water from wet clothes turns into vapour quickly and escapes into air. Therefore, clothes dry fast due to evaporation.

Which one is correct?
  • a)
    Evaporation → Condensation → Cloud → Rain
  • b)
    Cloud → Condensation → Evaporation → Rain
  • c)
    Evaporation → Rain → Condensation → Cloud
  • d)
    Cloud → Rain → Evaporation → Condensation
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Water evaporates due to heat and changes into water vapour. Vapour cools and condenses to form clouds and later falls as rain. Thus, the correct sequence is evaporation, condensation, cloud formation and rain.

    water expands after freezing
  • b)
    water squeezes after freezing
  • c)
    pipelines squeeze at freezing
  • d)
    None of the above
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

When water freezes, it expands in volume. This expansion puts pressure on pipelines and may cause them to burst. Hence, the reason is expansion of water after freezing.

Water in earthen pot remains cool due to
  • a)
    condensation
  • b)
    evaporation
  • c)
    sedimentation
  • d)
    sublimation
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?
