MATTER AROUND US (NOTES)

GIVE REASON:

1. Naphthalene balls disappear with time without leaving any solid.

Naphthalene balls under goes sublimation process by absorbing heat
energy from the surroundings. That is why they disappear without leaving any
solid. (The conversion of solid to gas and vice-versa is called sublimation.)
2. We can get the smell of perfume sitting several metres away.
The molecules of perfume diffuses in all directions in between the air
molecules as perfume is a volatile liquid therefore we can get the smell of
perfume sitting several metres away.
3. Ice at 273K is more effective in cooling than water at same temperature.
It is because, ice at 273K will take heat energy to convert itself into water.
(latent heat of fusion). Therefore, water has more heat energy than ice. Thus,
ice is more effective in cooling than water.
4. Steam produces severe burns.
It is because steam at 100 oC contains more heat energy than boiling water at
the same temperature (latent heat of vaporization). It is this extra heat energy
in steam which causes severe burns.
5. Water kept in an earthern pot (matka) becomes cool during summer?
Molecules of water escape through the pores of the earthernpot and come
out. These water molecules absorb heat from the pot and from the water
molecules present inside the pot and
evaporates. Evaporation causes
lowering of temperature and more cooling of water.
6. Our palm feel cold when we put some acetone or petrol or perfume on it.
Acetone, petrol and perfume are all volatile liquids. These liquids evaporate
quickly at room temperature by absorbing heat energy from our palm.
Thus the temperature of our palm falls and gives us a cool feeling.

7. We are able to sip hot tea or milk faster from a saucer rather than a cup?
Because of the longer and wider surface area of the saucer the hot tea
evaporates faster. This causes decrease in temperature and cooling of the tea.
Therefore we are able to sip hot tea or milk faster from a saucer rather than a
cup.
8. A desert cooler cool better on a hot dry day than on a humid day.
On a hot dry day, the humidity in the atmosphere is very low. As a result
the water in the desert cooler evaporates faster taking the heat from the room.
This causes decrease in temperature and we feel cool.
On a humid day, the atmosphere is full of moisture. Therefore it is
unable to take in any more water vapour, so water does not vaporize easily
and cooling does not happen.
9. Wearing cotton clothes is more comfortable in summer?
Cotton clothes have a large number of small pores and it is a good
absorber of sweat. So it exposes the sweat to the atmosphere for easy
evaporation. During evaporation water particles take heat energy from our
body thus lowering the temperature and causes cooling. Therefore wearing
cotton clothes is more comfortable in summer.
III Define the following:
1. Latent heat of vaporization:
Amount of heat energy required to change 1kg of liquid to gas at normal
atmospheric pressure at its boiling point.
2. Latent heat of fusion:
Amount of heat energy required to change 1kg of solid to liquid at normal
atmosphere pressure at its melting point.

IV Differences between Evaporation and Boiling:

Evaporation

Boiling

It is a surface phenomenon.

It is a bulk phenomenon.

It can take place at any

temperature below the boiling
point of the liquid.

It takes place at the boiling point

of the liquid.

II ANSWER THE FOLLOWING

1) What do you mean by diffusion?
Ans. The intermixing of particles of two substances on their own is called is
called diffusion.
2) What property of gas is utilized when natural gas is supplied for
vehicles?
Ans. A gas is highly compressible and a large quantity of it can be compressed
to a small manageable volume. Therefore, natural gas is compressed and is
supplied for use by vehicles in the name of CNG (Compressed Natural Gas)
3) Liquids generally have lower density as compared to solids. But you
must have observed that ice floats on water? Find out why?
Ans. Yes, generally liquids have lower density than solids. But in case of ice
which is solid, the structure of ice is such that there are vacant spaces between
molecules thus making ice lighter than water. Hence, ice floats on water.
4) In the experiment to determine the melting point of ice, why does the
temperature not rise till all the ice melts even though heat is
continuously supplied? What is the heat energy called?
Ans. Ice melts at 273K. At 273K heat given to ice disappears as latent heat of
fusion and therefore temperature does not rise till all ice is melted.

5) What is the relation between boiling point of a liquid and the

intermolecular forces of attraction between the particles of a liquid?
Ans. Stronger the intermolecular forces of attraction, higher would be the
boiling point.
6) Latent heat of evaporation of two liquids A and B is 100 J/kg and 150

J/kg respectively.
(a) Give reason.
(b) Which can produce more cooling effect and why?
Ans.
(a) Latent heat of evaporation depends on the nature of the liquid.
Intermolecular forces of attraction between the molecules of B must be
higher than those of A.
(b) Liquid B will produce more cooling effect because it will absorb more
energy from the surroundings for evaporation and thus give better cooling
effect.
7) State one difference between a gas and a vapour.

Ans. The word vapour is used to describe those gases that usually exist as
liquid at room temperature. For example, water particles in gaseous state are
called vapours. Oxygen at room temperature exists as gas particles.
8) Give reason why solid Carbon dioxide (Dry ice) is stored under high
pressure.
Ans. This is because solid carbon dioxide on decreasing pressure gets
converted into gaseous carbon dioxide.
