Which of the following cannot change, in a physical change?

  1. Volume

  2. Pressure

  3. Chemical composition

  4. Temperature
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

In a physical change the chemical composition of a substance does not change. 


For example conversion of water into steam where composition remain same i.e. $H _2O$.

Volume, pressure and temperature are the physical properties.

The state in which molecular attractions are very strong is:

  1. solid

  2. liquid

  3. gas

  4. none of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Solids are densely packed due to its  high intermolecular attractions so they are highly incompressible but liquid has less intermolecular attractions compared to solid.But gases have very less intermolecular attractions.So they are loosely packed.

Gases do not have a definite shape because:

  1. molecules exert no force of attraction or repulsion upon one another

  2. molecules exert force of attraction

  3. molecules exert force repulsion upon one another

  4. both b and c
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The molecules exert no force of attraction or repulsion upon one another. I.e., the molecules are independent of each other. This is the reason gases do not have a definite shape.

A solid cube of iron whose edge is 4 inches weighs 20.8 lbs. Determine the specific gravity of this sample of iron, if water weighs 62.4 pounds per cubic foot?
  1. $4.5$
  2. $5.2$
  3. $9.0$
  4. $27$
  5. $324$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

$4$ inches $=$ $0.333$ foot


Since it is a solid cube, its volume is given by the formula $(side)^3$, that is, here its volume is $(0.333)^3$, that is $0.0369$ cubic foot.


Mass of the solid cube is $20.8$ pounds

Density $=$$\dfrac{Mass}{Volume}$

Thus, the density of the solid cube is $\dfrac{20.8}{0.0369}$, that is $563.68$ pounds per cubic foot.

Mass of water is $62.4$ pounds per cubic foot.

Thus, density of water is $\dfrac{Mass}{Volume}$, that is $\dfrac{62.4}{1}$, that is $62.4$ pounds per cubic foot.

Specific gravity of the solid iron  $= \dfrac {Density\ of\ solid\ iron} {Density\ of\ water}$

Thus, specific gravity of the iron is $=$ $\dfrac{563.68}{62.4}$, that is $9.033 \approx\ 9$

Hence, the correct option is C.

 Mass per unit volume can be defined as:

  1. volume

  2. weight

  3. density

  4. matter

  5. none of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Mass per unit volume can be defined as density. For example : when 1 g of water has volume of 1 mL, the density of water will be 1 g/mL.
Density $\displaystyle = \dfrac {\text {mass}}{\text {volume}}$

Which of the following is the most precise for measuring the volume of a liquid?

  1. Test tube

  2. Graduated cylinder

  3. Burette

  4. Volumetric flask

  5. Beaker
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Volumetric flask is the most precise for measuring the volume of a liquid.


When the values of different measurements are close to each other as well as to average value, such measurements are called precise.

Hence the correct option is D.

The property of compressibility is :

  1. maximum in solids

  2. least in solids

  3. maximum in liquids

  4. least in gases
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Solids are held in fixed positions, they can only vibrate. Because the particles can not move, solids have a definite shape and volume, and can't flow. Because the particles are already packed closely together, solids can't easily be compressed.
