chemistry materials liquid crystals liquid state the liquid state

  1. Concave and convex

  2. Convex and concave

  3. Both concave

  4. Both conves

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The shape of the meniscus observed when water and mercury are taken in two different capillary tubes is concave and convex respectively.

The amount of energy required to change $1\ kg$ of a solid into liquid at atmospheric pressure at its melting point is known as _______________.

chemistry materials liquid crystals liquid state the liquid state

  1. latent heat of fusion

  2. latent heat of boiling

  3. latent heat of freezing

  4. melting energy

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
The amount of energy required to change $1\ kg$ of a solid into liquid at atmospheric pressure at its melting point is known as latent heat of fusion.

Hence option A is correct.

These two compounds are in the liquid phase at $293\ K$ :

chemistry materials liquid crystals liquid state the liquid state

  1. $Br _{2}$ and $Hg$

  2. $Cl _{2}$ and $F _{2}$

  3. $NH _{4}^{+}$ and $H _{3}O^{+}$

  4. $Fe$ and $Co$

  5. Diamond and graphite

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$Br _2$ and $Hg$ are in the liquid phase at $293 :K$.
$Cl _2$ and $F _2$ are gases.
$NH _4^+$ and $H _3O^+$ exist in aqueous solution.
$Fe$ and $Co$ are solids
Diamond and graphite are also solids.

An experiment is conducted where droplets of liquid are placed on the surface of a penny. Which of the following substances would you expect to the able to place the maximum number of drops of on the surface of the penny?

chemistry materials liquid crystals liquid state the liquid state

  1. $HF$

  2. $H _{2}O$

  3. $CH _{3}CH _{2}CHO$

  4. $CCl _{4}$

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Fluorine is most electronegative element so it forms stronger hydrogen bond which is the reason of stronger surface tension.So HF drops place maximum on the penny.

What happens to the rate of evaporation of water, if the atmospheric pressure is decreased during the extraction of colored components?

chemistry materials liquid crystals liquid state the liquid state

  1. Increases

  2. Decreases

  3. Do not change

  4. None

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The rate of evaporation of water increases, if the atmospheric pressure is decreased during the extraction of colored components because atmospheric pressure is inversely proportional to evaporation. 

What happens to the rate of evaporation of water, if the atmospheric pressure is increased during the extraction of the colored component from liquid? 

chemistry materials liquid crystals liquid state the liquid state

  1. Increases

  2. Decreases

  3. Do not change

  4. None

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Evaporation is a surface phenomenon in which surface molecules of solution moves to the atmosphere.If atmospheric pressure is increased then due to external pressure molecules on the surface will not move to the atmosphere so if atmospheric pressure increases, a rate of evaporation decreases.

The volume of gas is reduced to half from its original volume. The specific heat will be :

chemistry materials liquid crystals liquid state the liquid state

  1. reduce to half

  2. be doubled

  3. remain constant

  4. increase four times

Show answer
Correct Option: C

4n + 1 series is known by which name ?

chemistry materials liquid crystals liquid state the liquid state

  1. Actinium

  2. Neprunium

  3. Thorium

  4. Uranium

Show answer
Correct Option: B

At high altitudes, water boils at a lower temperature because

chemistry materials liquid crystals liquid state the liquid state

  1. the atmospheric pressure is high at high altitudes

  2. the viscosity of water is reduced at high altitudes

  3. the atmospheric pressure is low at high altitudes

  4. the surface tension of water is reduced at high altitudes

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The boiling of water depends on the atmospheric pressure at that altitude. At high altitudes, the pressure is lower, so water can not boil at $100°$. As the altitude increases, the boiling point of water reduces.

Liquids are similar to gases because:

chemistry materials liquid crystals liquid state the liquid state

  1. both possess the property of flowing and take the volume of the containers

  2. both diffuse and take the shape of the containers

  3. both are readily compressible and diffuse

  4. both are capable of infinite expansion

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Liquids and gases are similar in both shape and volume because they both have its' shape determined by its' surroundings. 

$\Longrightarrow $ Both diffuses and take the shape of containers.
