Transpiration is the process by which moisture is carried through plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves, where it changes to vapor and is released to the atmosphere. Transpiration is essentially evaporation of water from plant leaves.

The formation of water from oxygen and hydrogen is a _______ .
  • a)
    Physical change
  • b)
    Chemical change
  • c)
    Reversible change
  • d)
    Both Physical and Reversible change
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Jaideep Sharma answered
Chemical Change:

When hydrogen and oxygen combine to form water, a new substance with different properties is formed. This is a chemical change.

Explanation:

Chemical change is a process in which one or more substances are changed into new substances with different physical and chemical properties. In the formation of water from hydrogen and oxygen, the hydrogen and oxygen molecules bond together to form a new molecule of water. This reaction is accompanied by the release of energy in the form of heat and light.

The chemical equation for the reaction is:

2H2 + O2 → 2H2O

Here, two molecules of hydrogen (H2) and one molecule of oxygen (O2) combine to form two molecules of water (H2O).

Reversible Change:

The formation of water from hydrogen and oxygen is not a reversible change. Once the reaction takes place, it is not possible to separate the water molecules back into hydrogen and oxygen.

Conclusion:

Hence, the correct option is B. Chemical change.

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.

Examples which can prove that evaporation can occur at any temperature: 
1. Evaporation of water from water bodies.
2. Evaporation of water from wet clothes.
3. Evaporation of acetone when exposed to open air.

Temperature is one of the factor which effects the rate of EVAPORATION. 
If temperature is more rate of EVAPORATION will be more.

Can you explain the answer of this question below:

Evaporation causes heating

  • A:

    True

  • B:

    False

The answer is B.

Arjun Sharma answered
When evaporation occurs then than the liquid (mostly water) absorbs all the heat from the surroundings and take it with it and we feel cool. evaporation causes cooling effect because the heat energy is abosorbed by surrounding particles.

Can you explain the answer of this question below:

Pressure on the surface of a gas is increased. What will happen to the inter-particle forces?

  • A:

    They will remain constant

  • B:

    They will increase

  • C:

    They will decreases

  • D:

    None of these

The answer is b.

Anita Menon answered
Increase in the pressure on the surface of a gas decreases the volume of the gas with increasing its density. The particles start moving in straight lines and also collide with the wall of the container and this collision enhances the inter particle forces and increases the fluidization behaviour.

A desert is ...................
  • a)
    an endless stretch of sand
  • b)
    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.

Separation by a separating funnel : 
A mixture of two immiscible liquids can be separated by using a separating funnel. A separating funnel is a special type of funnel which has a stop-cock in its stem to allow the flow of a liquid from it, or to stop the flow of liquid from it. The separation of two immiscible liquids by a separating funnel depends on the difference in their densities.

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.
