Class 7 Science Chapter 3 MCQ

The temperature 37 degree Celsius is described in Celsius scale while the temperature 98.6 degree Fahrenheit is described in Fahrenheit scale but they are actually equal. Both these values represent the normal average temperature of a human body.

There are many circumstances where clinical thermometer can break. Here, all the options are correct. Your answer will be option [D].

We know that metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. Generally, in cooking utensils are made of metals because they are good conductors of heat. Here, option [C] is best suitable for this question.

Wood, plastic are the non-conductor of heat and electricity. When wooden spoon is used to prepare vegetables, its other end does not become hot.

The air trapped between the layers of newspaper does not allow heat to pass through so it helps the beggar to keep himself warm.

Thermo flask is a special kind of flask for keeping liquids. It prevents loss or gain of heat by any of the three methods. It keeps liquid warm or cold for a long time. It was invented by Sir James Dewar in 1893. He was a Scottish chemist and physicist.

Convection occurs when particles with a lot of heat energy in a liquid or gas move and take the place of particles with less heat energy. Heat energy is transferred from hot places to cooler places by convection. Heat energy is transferred from hot places to cooler places by convection. Hence, your answer will be option [B].

Mercury is the only metal which is found in liquid state at room temperature. Rest all are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

A clinical thermometer consists a uniform glass tube. Rest all the options are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [A].

Thermo flask is a special kind of class for keeping liquids. It consists of a double walled glass cylinder. A vacuum is created in the space between the two walls. Hence, radiation is actually minimized. Hence, your answer will be option [C].

Most of us use the word ‘heat’ to mean something that feels warm, but science defines heat as the flow of energy from a warm object to a cooler object. Heat spontaneously passes to its surroundings with medium or without any medium. Heat energy is the result of the movement of tiny particles called atoms, molecules or ions in solids, liquids and gases.

There is a lot of concern over the use of mercury in thermometers. Mercury is a toxic substance and is very difficult to dispose of if a thermometer break. These days, digital thermometers are available which do not use mercury. Hence, your answer will be option [C].

The temperature 37 degree Celsius is described in Celsius scale while the temperature 98.6 degree Fahrenheit is described in Fahrenheit scale but they are actually equal. Both these values represent the normal average temperature of a human body.

Clinical thermometers or doctor’s thermometer is a device which measures our body temperature. Rest all are incorrect. Hence, your answer will be option [A].

This can be done by constructing outer walls by special bricks. So, that they have trapped layers of air. The way of doing this is to use hollow bricks, which are available these days. Hence, your answer will be option [C].

We know that wood is non-conductor of heat or cold. It acts as an insulator. So, when wooden spoon is dipped in a cup of ice cream its other end does not become cold. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

There are many conditions to break clinical thermometer as when kept in Sun, when hits by hard objects and when dipped in hot tea. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

(36.4 + 37.4 + 36.6) degree Celsius = 110.4 For getting average body tem we should divide: “Total temperature” by “Number of times” Therefore, 110.4/3 = 36.8 degree Celsius

Heat is a form of energy whereas temperature is a thermal condition of body. Heat is a total amount of internal energy of a body while temperature is proportional to average kinetic energy of a molecules of a body. Rest all the options are correct except option [A].

After gold and silver, copper is a better conductor of heat than the stainless steel. And tungsten is worst conductor of heat which is used in electric bulb filament for its property of resistance. Hence, your answer will be option [C].

We know that Mercury is liquid at room temperature and expand with heat. Expansion may apply pressure to break it.

Clothes of white colour reflects more heat than blue colours. Iron is the poor conductor of heat than aluminium. Our body is a good conductor of electricity. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

We are advised not to hold the thermometer bulb while reading it, as the level of mercury increases from the actual reading due to our body temperature. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

We will prefer white fabric tent in case of summer because it reflects all the radiations from the sun and keeps us cool inside the tent.

The mixture will have temperature in between 30 degree Celsius and 50 degree Celsius. They want to come on the same temperature. As one is released his temperature and other one is absorbed the temperature which is released. Therefore, we can say heat absorbed is equal to heat released. As heat is never been destroyed. Since, the hot water (at 50 degree Celsius) will try to lose its heat to the cold water (at 30 degree Celsius).
