Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This is the correct answer.

Which of the following statements is/are correct?

a. Gases cannot be compressed. b. The melting and boiling points of solids are above room temperature. c. A liquid has an indefinite volume and shape.

  1. a only

  2. b only

  3. c only

  4. a and b

  5. a, b and c


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The melting and boiling points of solids are above room temperature. This is the correct answer as this statement is correct.

Which of the following pairs will not exhibit diffusion?

  1. high density gases

  2. high voltage elctricity

  3. high temperatures

  4. charged particles

  5. diffusion of gases with electric current


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

This is the correct answer. 

Which of the following statements is/are correct?

a. A solid that is formed directly from a gas is called a sublimate. b. The phenomenon by which wax melts in the hot sun is called sublimation. c. Boiling point of a substance is the temperature where the liquid and vapour states can exist together.

  1. a only

  2. b only

  3. c only

  4. a and b

  5. a and c


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This is the correct answer as this statement is correct. 

Which of the following will be the effect of decrease of pressure on solid carbon dioxide?

  1. It will freeze.

  2. It will turn gaseous.

  3. It will liquify.

  4. Its particles will get charged.

  5. Its density will increase.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

As the pressure decreases the soild carbon dioxide is converted into gaseouse form.

Which of the following is the SI unit of temperature?

  1. Pascal

  2. Kelvin

  3. Centigrade

  4. Candela

  5. Ampere


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Kelvin is the SI unit of temperature.

Evaporation of a material takes place when it is

  1. below its melting point

  2. above its melting point

  3. at its boiling point

  4. above its boiling point

  5. below its boiling point


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

This is the correct answer. 

Which of the following has the highest density?

  1. Alcohol

  2. Water

  3. Petroleum

  4. Glycerine

  5. Ice


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

This is the correct answer. Glyerine has highest density among given options.

Which of the following statements is/are incorrect?

a. Particles of matter are always in a state of motion. b. Melting point of ice is 0oC. c. Light can be considered as matter.

  1. a only

  2. b only

  3. c only

  4. a and b

  5. a and c


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

No, as light and sound are not considered as matter.

Which of the following solids show the process of sublimation?

a. Iodine b. Camphor c. Wax

  1. a, b and c

  2. a and b

  3. a and c

  4. b and c

  5. only c


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

This is the correct answer. Sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from solid to gas phase without passing through the intermediate liquid phase. Both iodine and camphor show sublimation.

Which of the following statements is/are correct?

a. Ghee has a higher melting point than mustard oil. b. Melting point of a liquid increases with pressure. c. Higher the inetrmolecular forces, higher the melting point.

  1. a only

  2. b only

  3. c only

  4. a and b

  5. a and c


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

This is the correct answer as both statements are correct.

Which of the following statements is/are correct?

a. Latent heat of vapourisation is the heat energy required to change 1 kg of a liquid to gas at atmospheric pressure at its boiling point. b. Latent heat of vapourisation causes cooling. c. Evaporation is a bulk phenomenon that afects the latent heat of vapourisation.

  1. a only

  2. b only

  3. c only

  4. a and b

  5. a and c


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is the correct answer as this statement is correct. Latent heat of vapourisation is the heat energy required to change 1 kg of a liquid to gas at atmospheric pressure at its boiling point.
