Multiple choice physics the kinetic model of matter evaporation heat, internal energy and work phase change

Evaporation is the process of changing liquid into vapour below its boiling point. State whether true or false.

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
Evaporation is the process of changing liquid into vapour below B.P. (boiling point)
It is the type of vaporisation that occurs on the surface of liquid due to increase in temperature or pressure it changes liquid into gaseous phase before reaching to B.P. The surrounding gas must not be saturated by evaporating substance.

A dog pants with its tongue sticking out on a hot day. Which of the following is the correct reason?

  1. It is its habit

  2. Producing more saliva cools down the body temperature.

  3. Saliva vapourises, cooling the tongue

  4. It is a genetic disease found in few animals like dogs.

C Correct answer
Explanation

Evaporation causes cooling.
A dog pants with its tongue sticking out on a hot day because its saliva vapourises, cooling the tongue.

Relative humidity is the percentage of the

  1. absolute humidity value to the amount of humidity actually present

  2. increase of humidity/absolute humidity

  3. amount of humidity actually present to the absolute humidity

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

The ratio of actual amount of water vapour present in volume of air at a given temperature to maximum amount that air could hold at that temperature, expressed as percentage is relative humidity.

The molecules of liquid change into vapour when the pressure of molecules of liquid

  1. exceeds the atmospheric pressure

  2. becomes less than the atmospheric pressure

  3. becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure

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

When the pressure of molecules of liquid become equal to the atmospheric pressure, the molecules of liquid change into vapours.

Water in an earthen pitcher gets cooled due to

  1. slower rate of evaporation

  2. faster rate of evaporation

  3. no evaporation at all

  4. some unknown reason
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Earthen pots are used in summer. The pot has several pores through which water rinses out to the outer surface of the earthen pot and evaporates. In this process it takes away heat from the water inside the pitcher. As a result, the water inside gets cooled.

Salt is extracted from sea-water by

  1. Treating with chemicals depositing salt at the bottom

  2. Filtering the water by nets blocking the salt.

  3. Boiling the water by coil leaving behind the salt.

  4. Evaporating the water by sun leaving behind the salt.

D Correct answer
Explanation

Salt is produced by direct evaporation of sea-water in sun. This process is cheapest and most efficient.

From below what are used to prevent pesticides, fertilizers and salt from agricultural wastewater from contaminating the water bodies they flow into?

  1. Evaporation ponds

  2. Vaporising ponds

  3. Fermented ponds

  4. Wet ponds
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Evaporation ponds are used. Evaporation ponds are artificial ponds with very large surface area that are designed to efficiently evaporate water by sunlight and exposure to the ambient temperature.
