If one litre of water at $\displaystyle { 25 }^{ \circ  }C$ is mixed with one litre of water at $\displaystyle { 45 }^{ \circ  }C$ the temperature of the water will be

  1. $\displaystyle { 70 }^{ \circ }C$
  2. $\displaystyle { 20 }^{ \circ }C$
  3. $\displaystyle { <25 }^{ \circ }C$
  4. $\displaystyle >{ 25 }^{ \circ }C\& <{ 45 }^{ \circ }C$

D Correct answer
Explanation

The temperature of the mixture would be $\displaystyle >{ 25 }^{ \circ  }C&amp; <{ 45 }^{ \circ  }C$, as there would be transfer of heat in between  water molecules from higher temperature to lower temperature.

The unit of humidity is 

  1. Degree celsius

  2. Percentage

  3. Kelvin

  4. Percent per litre
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The unit of relative humidity is the percentage. It is the ratio of the current absolute humidity to the maximum humidity for that temperature. A hygrometer is a device which is used measure relative humidity. When the air is fully saturated with water vapor and cannot hold any more water vapor, the relative humidity is 100%. 

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
