Motion of molecule in a substance is concluded by

  1. Using microscopes

  2. Mathematical postulates

  3. Using assumptions

  4. Observations from experiments


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Molecules are too small to be seen by microscope. Motion of molecules can be concluded by observations seen in experiment,such as diffusion of ink particles in water,light scattering experiments etc.

Gas at a pressure ${P} _{0}$ is contained in a vessel. If the masses of all the molecules are halved and their speeds are doubled, the resulting pressure $P$ will be equal to

  1. $4{P} _{0}$

  2. $2{P} _{0}$

  3. ${P} _{0}$

  4. $\cfrac{{P} _{0}}{2}$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$\begin{array}{l} P=\dfrac { 1 }{ 3 } \dfrac { { mN } }{ V } v _{ rms }^{ 2 } \ \therefore p\propto mv _{ rms }^{ 2 } \ so\, \dfrac { { { P _{ 2 } } } }{ { { P _{ 1 } } } } =\dfrac { { { m _{ 2 } } } }{ { { m _{ 2 } } } } \times { \left( { \dfrac { { { v _{ 2 } } } }{ { { v _{ 1 } } } }  } \right) ^{ 2 } } \ =\dfrac { { { m _{ 1 } }/2 } }{ { { m _{ 1 } } } } { \left( { \dfrac { { 2{ v _{ 1 } } } }{ { { v _{ 1 } } } }  } \right) ^{ 2 } } \ =2 \ { P _{ 2 } }=2{ P _{ 1 } } \ =2{ P _{ 0 } } \end{array}$

Hence,
option B is correct answer.

With increase in temperature, the density of a substance in general :

  1. increases

  2. decreases

  3. first increases then decreases

  4. first decreases then increases


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$Answer:-$ B

In general desity decreases with increase in temperature since $density=\dfrac{mass}{volume}$ 
Volume increases in general with increase in temperature and it is inversely proportional to density hence density decreases.
But for the case of water(when heated) it is different heating, its density first decreases and then increases.

When a drop of ink is put in a beaker of water

  1. Ink particle gradually move into the entire quantity of water and then get mixed the water

  2. Ink particles immediately mixes with water

  3. Ink particle moves as a lump cooling water in the process, and then mixes with the water

  4. Water mixes into ink particle and makes it colourless


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Due to motion of molecules of ink in water, it moves around the water and slowly mixes with water.Overall a diffusion process takes place between the particles of ink and particles of water.

Cooking gas containers are kept in a lorry moving with uniform speed. The temperature of the gas molecules inside will :

  1. increase

  2. decrease

  3. remain same

  4. decrease for some, while increase for others


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Since the pressure and volume of gas remains same , therefore , there will not be any change in the temperature of the gas molecules.

The phenomenon of browninan movement may be taken as an evidence of :

  1. kinetic theory of matter

  2. electromagnetic theory of radiation

  3. corpuscular theory of light

  4. photoelectric phenomenon


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Since brownian motion explains the collision between particles and their scattering, it is an evidence in support of kinetic theory of gases which is based on movement of particles in force fields of other particles and collision and scattering with them.

A hydrogen gas sample is contained in a cubical vessel of side $2 m$. A molecule of gas strike the wall of vessel at rate of $1000$ collisions/second. Sample contains $0.2 gm$ of Hydrogen. Number of molecules striking a wall per second is

  1. $5\times10^24$

  2. $2\times10^25$

  3. $2\times10^26$

  4. $5\times10^26$


Correct Option: A

A drop of ink put in water illustrates

  1. Heating of molecules in a substance

  2. Stationary nature of molecules in a substane

  3. Motion of molecules in a substance

  4. Motion of substance in a molecule


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A drop of ink when poured in water gradually moves in the entire quantity of water and mixes to make the colour blueish.This is due to the diffusion of ink particles into the water particles.

Arrange in increasing order of greatest degree of freedom of motion:

  1. gas<solid

  2. Liquid< solid < gas

  3. Solid < liquid < gas

  4. Gas < liquid < solid


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Solids have least degree of freedom. Liquids have more degree of freedom and gases have least degree of freedom.Degree of motion is proportional to the extent upto which a molecule can move freely.

Why does glass break on sudden heating?

  1. All parts of glass expand equally

  2. All parts of glass don't expand equally

  3. High temperature makes a substance unstable

  4. Glasses are easy to break


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Pouring boiling water into a glass is highly likely to shatter it because the hot water contacts only a few part of the glass first whereas the other parts of the glass (such as the outside of the cup) remain cooler. The glass thus does not expand as a whole, but is pulled in different directions as part of it expands and part does not. This difference produces the shattering.

Hot water is poured on top of cold water. Gradually mixture attains same temperature. This happens because of 

  1. Instability

  2. Electrostatic attraction

  3. Gravitational force

  4. Motion of molecules in water


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Hot water mixes with cold water due to motion of water molecules and total volume attains same temperature.Overall a diffusion of particles take place between hot and cold water.

Sugar particles slowly dissolve in water. This shows

  1. Refractive properties of water

  2. Motion of molecules in a substance

  3. Motion of substance

  4. Magic


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Sugar mixes in water because of motion of sugar molecules around water molecules.Overall a diffusion process is seen in it as sugar particles diffuse into water particles.

Speed of molecules is _______ in hot water than in cold water

  1. more

  2. less

  3. equal

  4. less than or equal to


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

As molecules are heated, they gain kinetic energy and hence speed.We already know that kinetic energy is proportional to temperature of random moving particles.

Smoke rising from chimneys is example of

  1. Thermionic radiation

  2. Heating of molecules in a substance

  3. Motion of molecules in a substance

  4. Heat radiation


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Due to diffusion, smoke molecules leave the chimney and spreads in the atmosphere.Overall a diffusion process is seen in it as smoke particles diffuse into air particles.

Heating a liquid expands it because

  1. Molecules gain potential energy and due to it, motion of molecules is increased

  2. Molecules gain kinetic energy and due to it, motion of molecules is increased

  3. Molecules gain kinetic energy and due to it, motion of molecules is reduced

  4. Molecules gain potential energy and due to it, motion of molecules is reduced


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

As a liquid is heated, its molecules gain kinetic energy, motion of molecules is increased and the liquid expands.Overall interparticle distance increases.

In convection,

  1. Heat transfers by radiation of infrared waves

  2. Heat transfers by motion of molecules in a substance

  3. Heat transfers by collision of molecules

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In convection, heat transfer occurs because of motion of molecules of substance in upward direction.Convection, occurs due to temperature differences which affect the density, and thus relative buoyancy, of the fluid. Heavier (more dense) components will fall, while lighter (less dense) components rise, leading to bulk fluid movement.

Water is a universal solvent. During mixing,

  1. Molecules of the water are distributed uniformly across the solute.

  2. Molecules of the solute are distributed uniformly across the volume of water.

  3. Molecules of the solute and molecules of water both move very fast to make the solution.

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

As a solute is added to the water and mixed, its molecules are spread across the volume of water and solute is then dissolved in water.

Due to motion of molecules in a substance

  1. Smell of perfume spreads around the room

  2. Perfume bottle spreads around the room

  3. Perfume cools the room

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

When perfume is sprayed in corner of a room, its molecules moves around the room due to diffusion spreading the fragrance. Overall a diffusion process is seen in it as perfume particles diffuse into air particles.
