The atmospheric pressure at sea level is:

  1. 1 atm

  2. 10 atm

  3. 100 atm

  4. 1 pascal


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The atmospheric pressure at sea level is 1 atm.

Convert $100^oC$ to kelvin :

  1. $273$

  2. $373$

  3. $473$

  4. $573$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The formula for conversion of centigrade unit to kelvin is :


$T(K)= T(^oC) + 273$


 $T(K)=100+273$

$=373K$

Option (B) is correct.

What is the physical state of water at $125^{\circ} C$?

  1. Solid

  2. Liquid

  3. Gas

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Water boils at $100^{\circ}C$ and it converts into vapour above this temperature.

To convert Kelvin scale to Celsius scale:

  1. add $273$ to Kelvin scale

  2. subtract $273$ from Kelvin scale

  3. multiply $273$ with Kelvin scale

  4. divide $273$ by Kelvin scale


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
$^0C=K-273$
To convert Kelvin to Celsius, subtract $273$ from kelvin scale.

Hence, option $B$ is the answer.

The S.I. unit of weight is:

  1. kilogram

  2. gram

  3. newton

  4. milligram


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The S.I. unit of weight is newton since weight is the reaction force of an object due to gravity. 

To convert Celsius scale to Kelvin scale:

  1. add $273$ to Celsius scale

  2. subtract $273$ from Celsius scale

  3. multiply $273$ with Celsius scale

  4. divide $273$ by Celsius scale


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

To convert from Celsius scale to Kelvin scale, add 273 to Celsius scale.

What is the density of a metal which has a mass of $15g$ and a volume of $2mL$?

  1. $7.5$

  2. $17$

  3. $0.15$

  4. $13$

  5. $30$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$Density= \cfrac {mass}{volume}= \cfrac {15g}{2ml}= 7.5\quad g/ml$

Which temperature is hottest?

  1. $17^oC$

  2. $58^o F$

  3. $290 K$

  4. $16^o C$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Relation between celsius kelvin and fahrenheit scale.
${ T } _{ C }=\frac { 5 }{ 9 } ({ T } _{ F }-32){ =T } _{ K }-273.15$

$17^0C=17^0C$
$58^0F=\frac {58-32} {1.8}=14.44^0C$
$290K={290-273.15}^0C=16.85^0C$

$16^0C=16^0C$

$17^0C$ is hotter.
Option A is correct.
