Class 9 Science Chapter 1 MCQ

During melting, temperature of the ice does not change at all because the heat is used in overcoming the particle-particle attraction forces, which in turn keeps the temperature constant.

Increase in temperature of water will increase the evaporation of water. It is because, on increasing the temperature, kinetic energy of water molecules increases and more particles get enough kinetic energy to go into the vapour state. This increases the rate of evaporation. Evaporation is the surface phenomenon so it depends upon the exposed surface area. Higher the exposed surface area of water, higher will be the evaporation. When common salt is added to water then surface is occupied by the solvent as well as non-volatile solute particles. So, the escaping tendency of solvent particles decreases and thus the evaporation of water decreases. Therefore, other options [B], [C] and [D] will be decrease the evaporation of water.

Explanation: The particles of matter attract each other. There are the characteristics of particles of matter.

The rates of evaporation, diffusion and expansion of gases increases due to increase in temperature because when temperature increases the kinetic energy of molecules increases, which breaks or weakens the interaction between the atoms and sets the molecules free.

The correct order of boiling points of diethyl ether, acetone and n-butyl alcohol in kelvin scale is 308 K, 329 K and 391 K, which can be explained as: Boiling point of diethyl ether = 35 degree Celsius + 273 = 308 K Boiling point of acetone = 56 degree Celsius + 273 = 329 K Boiling point of n-butyl alcohol = 118 degree Celsius + 273 = 391 K

At 0°C, water releases some heat to lower the speed of molecules, and when it is cool enough the molecules of water are fixed at one position and they start vibrating. Ultimately, the water molecules convert into ice (solid).

Conversion of solid into vapours on heating or vapours into solid on cooling without undergoing in liquid state is called sublimation. The conversion of liquid into gas or vapour is called vaporization. The conversion of liquid into solid is called freezing. The conversion of solid into liquid is called melting.

Here, all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

Here, all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

The correct order of increasing “force of attraction” between their particles is : Oxygen < Water < Sugar It is because the force of attraction increases in the order i.e. Gas < Liquid < Solid.

Plasma is a fourth state of matter and plasma is a mixture of free electrons and ions. Plasma occurs naturally in the stars including the sun.

When surface area increases and temperature rises, evaporation of water increases because the area which is exposed to the outer atmosphere is more and increasing the temperature leads to increase in the kinetic energy, due to which rate of evaporation increases.

Ammonia gas can be liquefied by applying high pressure and lowering the temperature. In option [B]: Solid carbon dioxide is stored under high pressure. In option [C]: The conversion of solid carbon dioxide into carbon dioxide gas is a change of state which is caused by the decrease in pressure and increase atmospheric temperature. In option [D]: Whatever be the temperature at which evaporation take place, the latent heat of vaporization must be supplied whenever a liquid change into vapour or gas.

The statement that the particles of some forms of matter move constantly is incorrect because the particles of matter of all three states– solid, liquid and gas –are moving constantly. Although the particles of solids are fixed at their positions, they vibrate constantly.

The statement that the particles of bromine are moving but those of air are not moving is incorrect because the particles of matter are constantly in motion. It appears as if the air molecules are not moving because air is colourless.

Gases and liquids behave like fluids. Both gases and liquids tend to flow due to less force of attraction between their particle. Also, they required vessel to keep them. Solids do not flow. Note: Fluid means a material which can flow easily and requires a vessel to keep it.

With the help of experiments it can be shown that at low temperature and high pressures, gases will liquefy. Because these factors affect the interaction force of molecules i.e. the molecules are able to establish a force of attraction between them on lowering the temperature and increasing pressure.

The process of changing a gas or vapour to a liquid by cooling is called condensation.

The process occurring here is diffusion and it is unaffected by the mass. Therefore, bromine being heavier, mixes with the colorless air.

The rate of evaporation increases on increasing the surface area of the liquid.

The above answer is not true because in liquids the molecules are not arranged in regular pattern. In liquids the molecules are loosely arranged.

Here, all these statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

Here, all these statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

Once the water has begun to boil, the temperature remains constant at hundred degree Celsius until all the water has changed into steam.

It has been found that the burns caused by stems are much more severe than those caused by boiling water though both of them at the same temperature of 100 degree Celsius. This is due to the fact that steam contains more heat, in the form of latent heat, than boiling water. So, when stem falls on our skin and condensed to produce water it gives out 22.5 x 10 to the power 5 J/kg more heat than boiling water, at the same temperature. Since, steam gives out more heat than boiling water it causes more severe burns.
