Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs)

Q1: What is the process of water turning into vapor called?
(a) Condensation
(b) Evaporation
(c) Freezing
(d) Melting
Ans: (b) Evaporation

Evaporation is the process where liquid water changes into water vapor due to heat energy. This occurs when molecules in the liquid gain enough energy to escape into the air as gas.

Q2: Which state of water does not have a fixed shape?
(a) Ice
(b) Water
(c) Water vapor
(d) Both b and c
Ans: (d) Both b and c

Both liquid water (b) and water vapor (c) do not have a fixed shape. Water takes the shape of its container in liquid form, and water vapor is in the gaseous form, which also adapts to the shape of its container.

Q3: What happens to water vapor when it cools down?
(a) It disappears
(b) It condenses into liquid
(c) It becomes ice
(d) It evaporates
Ans: (b) It condenses into liquid

When water vapor cools down, it loses energy and condenses back into liquid form, typically observed as droplets on surfaces like windows or fog.

Q4: Which of the following factors does NOT affect the rate of evaporation?
(a) Temperature
(b) Humidity
(c) Altitude
(d) Surface area
Ans: (c) Altitude

Temperature, humidity, and surface area all influence the rate of evaporation. However, altitude mainly affects air pressure, which has a smaller impact on evaporation compared to the other factors.

Q5: What device collects moisture from humid air to produce drinkable water?
(a) Dehumidifier
(b) Atmospheric Water Generator
(c) Air conditioner
(d) Evaporator
Ans: (b) Atmospheric Water Generator

An Atmospheric Water Generator (AWG) collects moisture from the air and condenses it to produce purified, drinkable water.
