  1. When 1 litre of water is cooled from 4°C to 0°C, its volume _.?
    (a) First decreases and then increases
    (b) Remains the same
    (c) Increases
    (d) Decreases
    Answer: (c)
    Explanation
    When 1 litre of water is cooled from 4°C to 0°C volume of water will start increasing this due to water’s unique property known as ‘Anomalous Expansion of Water’. Anomalous Expansion of Water occurs between 4°C to 0°C. The density of water is a maximum at 4 °C.
    The anomalous expansion of water is an abnormal property of water whereby it expands instead of contracting when the temperature goes from 4o C to 0o C, and it becomes less dense. The density is maximum at 4 degree centigrade and decreases below that temperature as shown in graph.

  2. Which one of the following gases produces a red light when electricity flows through it??
    (a) Helium
    (b) Argon
    (c) Nitrogen
    (d) Neon
    Answer: (d)
    Explanation
    A discharge of energetic electrons through the gas causes collisions of electrons with the gas atoms, resulting in electrons in the gas atoms being excited to higher energy states. The electrons then return to their normal (ground state) energies by emitting electromagnetic radiation. That is why you see colors

  3. Which of the following metals does not form amalgams??
    (a) Zinc
    (b) Copper
    (c) Iron
    (d) Magnesium
    Answer: (c)
    Explanation
    A mixture or an alloy of mercury with a number of metals such as sodium, zinc, gold and silver as well as with some non-metals is known as amalgam. Dental amalgam is mixture of mercury and silver tin alloy.
    So the Mercury needs to solvate iron atoms by incorporating the iron lattice which is extremely difficult to occur because the iron is extremely stable. This stability of the iron is because of its electronic configuration which doesn’t afford the transition metal Hg to make amalgam with iron.

    Answer: (a)
    Video Explanation

9.A radioactive rare gas is?
(a) Helium
(b) Krypton
(c) Radon
(d) None of these
Answer: (c)
Explanation
The known isotopes of helium contain from one to six neutrons, so their mass numbers range from three to eight. Of these six isotopes, only those with mass numbers of three (helium-3, or 3He) and four (helium-4, or 4He) are stable; all the others are radioactive, decaying very rapidly into other substances.

  1. _ is the change from the solid state into the gaseous state.?
    (a) Fusion
    (b) Condensation
    (c) Sublimation
    (d) Vaporization
    Answer: (c)
    Explanation
    Solids can be heated to the point where the molecules holding their bonds together break apart and form a liquid. The most common example is solid ice turning into liquid water. This process is better known as melting, or heat of fusion, and results in the molecules within the substance becoming less organized.
    CONDENSATION is the process where water vapor becomes liquid. It is the reverse of evaporation, where liquid water becomes a vapor.
    SUBLIMATION, in physics, conversion of a substance from the solid to the gaseous state without its becoming liquid. An example is the vaporization of frozen carbon dioxide (dry ice) at ordinary atmospheric pressure and temperature.
    VAPORIZATION, conversion of a substance from the liquid or solid phase into the gaseous (vapour) phase. If conditions allow the formation of vapour bubbles within a liquid, the vaporization process is called boiling

  1. Helium gas is used in gas balloons instead of hydrogen gas because it is?
    (a) Lighter than hydrogen
    (b) More abundant than hydrogen

13.The best conductor of heat among liquids is??
(a) Alcohol
(b) Murcury
(c) Water
(d) Ether
Answer: (b)
Explanation
We know that most metals are good conductors of heat as solid at room temperature. But mercury is the only good conductor of heat in a liquid state due to its high coefficient of expansion. One more property of mercury that is its high boiling point makes it suitable for measuring high temperatures.
