Multiple choice physics the kinetic model of matter force and kinetic theory change of states phase change

The saturated vapour pressure of water at $100^\circ C$ is

  1. 750 mm of Hg

  2. 760 mm of Hg

  3. 76 mm of Hg

  4. 7.6 cm of Hg

B Correct answer
Explanation

Vapour pressure or equilibrium vapour pressure or saturated vapour pressure is defined as the pressure exerted by a vapour in thermodynamic equilibrium with condensed phase at given temperature. At $100^oC$, the vapour pressure is $1atm$; i.e. 760mm of Hg i.e. 76cm of Hg as $1mm=10^{-1}cm$.

The water can be made to boil even at $0$ if the pressure of surrounding is:

  1. 56 cm of Hg

  2. 5 cm of Hg

  3. 0.1 cm of Hg

  4. 4.6 mm of Hg

A Correct answer
Explanation
The water can be made to boil even at $0^\circ C$. 
As we know, the ideal equation for gases is $pV=nRT$. Now, if $V$ and $n$ are taken constants, $p=cT$, where $c$ is a constant.
So pressure is directly proportional to the temperature.
Water boils at $100^\circ C$ or $373K$ at $1atm$ pressure. So, to obtain boiling at $0^\circ C$ or $273K$, you need to reduce the pressure to $\dfrac {273\times 1}{373} atm = 0.732 atm=56\text{cm of Hg}$(approx).

When 1 g of water at $100^\circ C$ gets converted into steam at the same temperature, the change in volume is approximately

  1. 1 cc

  2. 1000 cc

  3. 1500 cc

  4. 1670 cc
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

During change of state mass does not change.

Mass of water = 1gm
So mass of steam is also= 1gm
Density of steam =$0.0006gm/cm^3$
Initail volume of water =1$cm^3$(Density =$1gm/cm^3$) ($1=\dfrac { 1 }{ V } $) $,v=1cm^3$
Later volume of water converted to steam =$\dfrac { mass\quad of\quad steam }{ Density\quad of\quad steam } $
$=\dfrac { 1 }{ 0.0006 } $
$=\dfrac { 10000 }{ 6 } { cm }^{ 3 }$
$= 1670cm^3$
Change of volume = $1670cm^3$

On increasing the external pressure , the boiling point of liquid 

  1. is raised

  2. is lowered

  3. remain unaffected

  4. uncertain
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
On increasing the external pressure, the boiling point of liquid is increased.
Boiling point is the temperature at which vapor pressure of the liquid equals to the external pressure.
V.P, of liquid is a function of temperature.
Now, if we increase the external pressure, a higher temperature would be required so that V.P. equals to external pressure.

Rice takes longest time to cook

  1. at sea level

  2. at shimla

  3. at Mount Everest

  4. in a submarine 100 m below the surface of sea
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

At higher altitude, water starts boiling at lower temperature and heat required for cooking food is not available, because heat escapes in form of water vapour. So, rice takes longer time to cook at Mount Everest
