Class 9 Science Chapter 1 MCQ

During melting, temperature of the ice does not change at all because the heat is used in overcoming the particle-particle attraction forces, which in turn keeps the temperature constant.

Increase in temperature of water will increase the evaporation of water. It is because, on increasing the temperature, kinetic energy of water molecules increases and more particles get enough kinetic energy to go into the vapour state. This increases the rate of evaporation. Evaporation is the surface phenomenon so it depends upon the exposed surface area. Higher the exposed surface area of water, higher will be the evaporation. When common salt is added to water then surface is occupied by the solvent as well as non-volatile solute particles. So, the escaping tendency of solvent particles decreases and thus the evaporation of water decreases. Therefore, other options [B], [C] and [D] will be decrease the evaporation of water.

The rates of evaporation, diffusion and expansion of gases increases due to increase in temperature because when temperature increases the kinetic energy of molecules increases, which breaks or weakens the interaction between the atoms and sets the molecules free.

The correct order of boiling points of diethyl ether, acetone and n-butyl alcohol in kelvin scale is 308 K, 329 K and 391 K, which can be explained as: Boiling point of diethyl ether = 35 degree Celsius + 273 = 308 K Boiling point of acetone = 56 degree Celsius + 273 = 329 K Boiling point of n-butyl alcohol = 118 degree Celsius + 273 = 391 K

When a few crystals of copper sulphate are placed at the bottom of a beaker containing water, then water in the whole beaker turns blue slowly.

At 0°C, water releases some heat to lower the speed of molecules, and when it is cool enough the molecules of water are fixed at one position and they start vibrating. Ultimately, the water molecules convert into ice (solid).

Here, all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

Temperature of the water during vaporisation does not change at all because the heat is used in overcoming particle-particle attraction forces, which in turn keeps the temperature constant.

Therefore, the correct sequence of temperature will be 298 K, 311 K, and 339 K. On converting 25 degree Celsius, 38 degree Celsius, and 66 degree Celsius, to Kelvin scale, we get the following temperatures: 25 + 273 = 298 K, 38 + 273 = 311 K, 66+ 273 = 339 K. Therefore, the correct sequence of temperature will be 298 K, 311 K and 339 K.

Here, all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

Plasma is a fourth state of matter and plasma is a mixture of free electrons and ions. Plasma occurs naturally in the stars including the sun.

During summer, water kept in an earthen pot becomes cool because of the phenomenon of evaporation. Earthen pot has a large number of tiny pores in its walls and some of the water molecules continuously keep seeping through these pores to outside the pot. This water evaporates continuously and take the latent heat required for vaporization from the remaining water. In this way, the remaining water loses heat and gets cooled. Note: i) Diffusion is the net spreading out movement of a substance from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration and mixing of a substance with another substance due to motion of its particles. ii) Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts such as leaves. iii) Osmosis is the process in which solvent molecules move from their higher concentration to their lower concentration through semi permeable membrane. iv) Evaporation is the process in which a liquid changes into vapour or gas even below its boiling point.

Here, all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

Ammonia gas can be liquefied by applying high pressure and lowering the temperature. In option [B]: Solid carbon dioxide is stored under high pressure. In option [C]: The conversion of solid carbon dioxide into carbon dioxide gas is a change of state which is caused by the decrease in pressure and increase atmospheric temperature. In option [D]: Whatever be the temperature at which evaporation take place, the latent heat of vaporization must be supplied whenever a liquid change into vapour or gas.

The statement that the particles of bromine are moving but those of air are not moving is incorrect because the particles of matter are constantly in motion. It appears as if the air molecules are not moving because air is colourless.

Gases and liquids behave like fluids. Both gases and liquids tend to flow due to less force of attraction between their particle. Also, they required vessel to keep them. Solids do not flow. Note: Fluid means a material which can flow easily and requires a vessel to keep it.

With the help of experiments it can be shown that at low temperature and high pressures, gases will liquefy. Because these factors affect the interaction force of molecules i.e. the molecules are able to establish a force of attraction between them on lowering the temperature and increasing pressure.

Here, all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

Low temperature and high pressure required to liquefy gases to liquids. There is a lot of space between the particles of a gas. On applying high pressure, the particles of gas move get so close that they start attracting each other sufficiently forming a liquid. When gas is compressed too much, heat is produced, so it is necessary to cool it. Cooling lowers the temperature of compressed gas and helps in liquifying it. Hence, a gas can be liquefied by applying high pressure and lowering the temperature (cooling).

The rate of evaporation increases on increasing the surface area of the liquid.

Here, all these statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

Here, all these statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

The smell of perfume spreads due to the diffusion of perfume into air.

Here, all these statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

It has been found that the burns caused by stems are much more severe than those caused by boiling water though both of them at the same temperature of 100 degree Celsius. This is due to the fact that steam contains more heat, in the form of latent heat, than boiling water. So, when stem falls on our skin and condensed to produce water it gives out 22.5 x 10 to the power 5 J/kg more heat than boiling water, at the same temperature. Since, steam gives out more heat than boiling water it causes more severe burns.
