6. Amit saw two solid cubes in his father's room. He took these cubes to his father to ask about them. His father
told his that one was Quartz and other was Quartz glass. He now gave him the task to identify which one was
Quartz and which was Quartz glass. To find this out he carried an experiment. He took these solids and named
them A and B. He now measured a few physical properties like refractive index, electrical resistance ect. in
different direction. He observed that in solid B, the values of these properties were different along different
directions unlike in A where it was constant in all directions. Based on his observations now he wrote the
following conclusions:
(i) Solid A was Quartz Glass

8. A chemistry teacher once asked a question to all his students a question - " Dear students, hope you've
understand the topic well now it's a time for question. An air bubble deep inside a sea came near the surface of
the sea. What change can be observed in that bubble? "
Four of his students replied to his question.
STUDENT A - There will be a change in the volume. The bubble will expand. This can be explained on the
basis of Boyle's law as according to it volume varies inversely with pressure.

STUDENT B- Yes, I agree with student A but there will also be an increase in the temperature of air inside
bubble because according to Charle's law the volume varies directly with temperature.

STUDENT C - I don't agree to any of them. A contraction will be seen as there will be a decrease in
temperature due to decrease in pressure because according to Gay Lussac's law pressure directly varied with
temperature. Since temperature is decreased a contraction in volume will be observed as according to Charle's
law the volume varies directly with temperature.

STUDENT D - Sorry but you all are incorrect. No change will be observed as the mass of air inside bubble
remains constant and according to Avogadro's law volume varies directly with moles of gas.

Which of the following student(s) was/were correct -

(a) Both A and B (b) C only (c) A only (d) D only
