so they are called suicide bags of the cell

The change of state from solid to liquid known as –
  • a)
    Melting
  • b)
    Boiling
  • c)
    Sublimation
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Amit Sharma answered
The change of state from solid to liquid is known as Melting. This is a process in which a solid substance changes into a liquid on heating. Heat energy is required to break the bonds between molecules, allowing them to move around freely. This process is also known as fusion, and the amount of energy required is called the latent heat of fusion. In a phase diagram such as Figure 12.4.1, the melting point is the temperature at which a substance can transition from a solid to a liquid.

Under which of the following conditions we can boil water at room temperature?
  • a)
    At low pressure
  • b)
    At moderate pressure      
  • c)
    At very high pressure
  • d)
    At atmospheric pressure 
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Varun Kumar answered
At low pressure

Explanation: Boiling occurs when the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the external pressure. At lower pressures, the boiling point of water decreases. So, if the external pressure is reduced significantly (below atmospheric pressure), water can boil at room temperature. This phenomenon can be observed in a vacuum chamber, where the pressure is significantly reduced, allowing water to boil at room temperature.

    without rainfall
  • c)
    without vegetation
  • d)
    all of the above
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Parth Nambiar answered
Desert

Desert is a geographical region that is characterized by extreme dryness and lack of precipitation. It is a vast expanse of land that receives very little rainfall, and as a result, vegetation is scarce, and sand is abundant.

Endless stretch of sand

Deserts are often associated with endless stretches of sand dunes, but this is not always the case. While sand dunes are a common feature of many deserts, there are also rocky deserts, and deserts that are characterized by vast plains of gravel and dirt.

Without rainfall

Deserts are defined by their lack of rainfall, with many receiving less than 10 inches of rain per year. This lack of rainfall is often due to their location, such as being situated in areas that are far from oceans or other moisture sources.

Without vegetation

The extreme dryness of deserts means that vegetation is scarce, with many deserts being home to only a few types of plants that are adapted to the harsh desert environment. These plants often have specialized adaptations to help them survive in the arid conditions, such as the ability to store water in their leaves or roots.

All of the above

In conclusion, deserts are characterized by their lack of rainfall, scarcity of vegetation, and often vast stretches of sand or rocky terrain. These features make deserts some of the most inhospitable places on Earth, but they are also home to a variety of unique and fascinating plant and animal species that have adapted to the harsh desert environment.

  • c)
    Condensation
  • d)
    Sublimation
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Prachi Rathore answered
A drop of ink spreads in a beaker of water through diffusion. This is because the particles in liquids can move around each other, which means that eventually they are evenly mixed. Diffusion is the process of a substance spreading out to evenly fill its container or environment. In a solution, a concentrated solute diffuses to spread evenly in its solvent. concentration to low concentration.

Ayush hits a cricket ball which than rolls of a level ground after covering a short distance, the ball comes to rest. The ball slows to a stop because
  • a)
    There is a force on the ball opposing the motion
  • b)
    Velocity is proportional to the force exerted on the ball.
  • c)
    There is no unbalanced force on the ball so the ball would want to come to rest.
  • d)
    Ayush did not hit the ball hard enough
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

  • c)
    (b) and (c) are correct
  • d)
    All of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Vishakha das answered
The characteristics of particles of matter are as follows:
1. Particles of matter have space between them
When we dissolve salt in water, it is observed that the particles of salt get evenly distributed in water. Also, it is observed that the presence of salt particles did not change the level of water in the beaker. This could be possible only if the particles of salt were accommodated in between the water particles. Thus, this clearly proves that space exists between water particles.
2. Particles of matter are in continuous motion
We know that there is a lot of space present between the particles of matter. Particles of matter are never at rest and keep moving continuously in these free spaces. The particles of matter move continuously and their speed increases with an increase in temperature.
3. Particles of matter attract each other
The particles of matter attract each other. However, this force of attraction varies from matter to matter.

A substance upon heating directly changes into gaseous state. What is this change called?
  • a)
    Melting
  • b)
    Fusion
  • c)
    Sublimation
  • d)
    Condensation
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Neeti Gupta answered
Sublimation

Sublimation is the process in which a substance directly changes from a solid to a gaseous state without passing through the liquid phase. This change occurs when the substance is heated to a temperature at which its vapor pressure exceeds the atmospheric pressure. Sublimation is an endothermic process, meaning that it requires energy in the form of heat to occur.

Examples of Sublimation:
1. Dry ice - When dry ice, which is solid carbon dioxide, is heated it directly changes into carbon dioxide gas without melting into a liquid.
2. Camphor - When camphor is heated, it directly changes into a gaseous state without melting.
3. Naphthalene balls - Naphthalene balls used for moth control also undergo sublimation on heating.

Uses of Sublimation:
1. Sublimation is used in the purification of substances. For example, when impure solid iodine is heated, it directly changes into iodine vapor, which can be collected and condensed into pure solid iodine.
2. Sublimation is used in the production of certain chemicals, such as in the production of semiconductor materials.
3. Sublimation is also used in the manufacturing of dry ice, which is used in refrigeration and transportation of food and medical products.

Conclusion:
Sublimation is a process in which a substance directly changes from a solid to a gaseous state without passing through the liquid phase. It is an important process with various industrial and scientific applications.
