  4. $2.25\times 10^{-6} J/kg$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The heat of fusion for water at 0 °C is approximately 334 joules (79.7 calories) per gram, and the heat of vaporization at 100 °C is about 2,250 joules (533 calories) per gram or $2.25 *10^6$ J/kg.

The boiling point of a liquid with the increase of pressure,  ______________.

  1. decreases

  2. increases

  3. remains constant

  4. changes according to the weather


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Since a liquid vaporises when molecules moves faster and farther apart but while increasing pressure, we apply an external force to hold molecules closer to each other. Hence, molecules will require more energy to overcome this resistance thus this increases boiling point of liquid. Hence, the boiling point of a liquid with the increase of pressure, increases.

With increase in temperature, viscosity and surface tension of a liquid respectively:

  1. Decrease, decrease

  2. Increase, increase

  3. Increase, decrease

  4. Decrease, increase


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Temperature is increased.
1) As the temperature of a liquid increases,the movement of its molecule increases,which disturbs the imbalanced forces on the surface of liquid.thus the barrier of tightly bound molecules weakens thereby,Surface tension decreases.
2) As the temperature of a liquid increases,the energy of its molecules increases which increases the movement of molecules.so the liquid becomes more fluid.thus viscosity of liquid decreases.

Which of the following increases with the increase in temperature in case of liquid?

  1. Surface tension

  2. Vapour pressure

  3. Viscosity

  4. Boiling point


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Vapour pressure increases with increase in temperature. Because, in a closed container solution contains, higher the temperature high will be the evaporation then the pressure created due to vapor i.e vapor pressure increases.
Ans :- Option B.

Which is a more volatile liquid?

  1. $C _{2}H _{5}OH$

  2. $CH _{3}COOH$

  3. $C _{2}H _{5}OC _{2}H _{5}$

  4. $C _{6}H _{6}$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Presence of hydrogen bonding in a liquid decreases its volatile nature. This is because due to hydrogen bonding, there is more association between the molecules and the tendency to go into gaseous phase decreases. Hence, $C _6H _6$ will be more volatile liquid since it has no hydrogen bonding.

$510 mg$ of a liquid on vaporization in victor Mayer's apparatus displaces $67.2 ml$ of dry air (at NTP). The molecular weight of liquid is:

Latent heat is the energy released or absorbed by a body during a constant temperature process. An example is a phase transition such as ice melting or water boiling. Heat absorbed during melting is called latent heat fusion.

Can water be made to boil in a paper cup without the paper being burnt. This is because ___________.

  1. temperature of water does not change during boiling.

  2. ignition temperature of paper is higher than the boiling point of water

  3. high latent heat of vaporization of water

  4. All the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The paper cup in which water is placed is having ignition temperature higher than the  boiling point of water, and water have high latent heat of vaporization. This is also possible that temperature provided to water does not exceed its boiling point. Hence, water can boil in paper cup without burning the cup.

Why does temperature remain constant as a liquid is heated and gets converted to its gaseous state at its boiling point? 

  1. Due to increase in potential energy

  2. Due to increase in kinetic energy 

  3. Due to decrease in potential energy

  4. Due to decrease in kinetic energy


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

As a liquid is heated at constant pressure, its temperature increases. This trend continues until the boiling point of the liquid is reached. No further rise in temperature of the liquid can be induced by heating due to increase in kinetic energy.

Which one of the following is a correct statement?
1. Ice provides more cooling effect than water at $273\ K$.
2. Evaporation of a liquid causes cooling.
3. Increase of pressure lowers the separation between the particles of matter.

  1. $1$ and $2$

  2. $1$ and $3$

  3. $2$ and $3$

  4. $1, 2$ and $3$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Ice provides more cooling effect than water at 273 K because of latent heat of fusion. Evaporation of a liquid causes cooling as the surface molecules take away heat to escape out. Increase of pressure lowers the separation between the particles of matter and brings them closer leading to change of state from gas to liquid and to solid.
