vapourization.
(b) Conversion of solid into vapours without passing through the liquid state is called
sublimation.
(c) Conversion of vapours into solid without passing through the liquid state is called freezing.
(d) Conversion of solid into liquid is called sublimation.
5. Which of the following conditions will increase the rate of evaporation?
(a) Increase in temperature of water. (b) Decrease in wind speed.
(c) Decrease in surface area of water. (d) Adding sugar to water.
6. Latent heat of fusion is amount of

(b) heat energy required to convert 1 kg solid into liquid at room temperature.
(c) heat energy required to change 1 g of solid into liquid completely.
(d) heat energy required to change 1 kg of solid into liquid at any temperature.
7. The temperature at which vapour pressure of liquid becomes equal to atmospheric pressure
is
called
(a) melting point. (b) boiling point. (c) ignition temperature. (d) sublimation
8. Which of the following is not correct about evaporation?
(a) It is surface phenomenon.
(b) It takes place at all temperatures.
(c) It causes cooling as it takes heat from surroundings.
(d) Its rate decreases with decrease in humidity.
In the following questions 9 and 10, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of
Reason (R). Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.
(a) Both the Assertion and the Reason are correct and the Reason is the correct explanation of
the Assertion.
(b) The Assertion and the Reason are correct but the Reason is not the correct explanation of
the Assertion.
(c) Assertion is true but the Reason is false.
(d) Assertion is false but the Reason is true.
9. Assertion: In pressure cooker temperature of water becomes more than 100°C.
Reason: Boiling point is directly proportional to pressure acting on liquid
10. Assertion: We feel more cold after taking bath with hot water.
Reason: Evaporation of hot water takes place faster which causes cooling.

11. Give reasons for the following:
(i) A liquid generally flows easily.
(ii) Ice at 0°C appears colder to the mouth than water at 0°C. Why?
(iii) Doctors advise to put strips of wet cloth on the forehead of a person having high
temperature.
[Link] is matter? Write two properties of solids and two properties of liquids.
13. “Evaporation causes cooling”. Explain the reason for this effect.
14. (a) Why does the water kept in an earthen pot become cool in summer?

15. (a) CO2 is a gas. Write its two gaseous properties to justify it.
(b) How can we liquefy a gas?
SECTION – C
Questions 15 to 17 carry 3 marks each.
16. Give reasons for the following:
(a) Camphor disappears if kept in open air for a few days.
(b) Wet clothes do not dry easily on a rainy days.
(c) We sweat more on humid days.
17. Give reasons for the following:
(a) Why does Ice float on water?
(b) Why does a gas fill completely the vessel in which it is kept?
(c) Latent heat of evaporation of two liquids A and B is 100 J/kg and 150 J/kg respectively.
Which one can produce more cooling effect and why?
SECTION – D
18. Explain the different processes involved in the flowchart given below.
19. Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow based on the passage and
related studied concepts.
Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass. Matter is classified into solid, liquid and
gas. In solid state particles are closely packed and have very strong force of attraction, particles
can only vibrate and rotate around fixed positions. In liquid state, particles are less closely
packed and have strong force of attraction but less than solids, particles can move throughout
the
liquid. In Gaseous state, particles are far apart with weak force of attraction and are in state
of constant random motion. Gases can be easily compressed where as solids and liquids
are incompressible.
(a) An inflated balloon with He gas goes to upper atmosphere, what will happen?
(b) When solid changes into vapours directly predict the strength of forces?
(c) Why do we feel more cold after taking bath with hot water?
OR
(c) Why does sea water boils above 100°C?
