Answer

Question 39

Question

Two beakers contain the same amount of water at the same temperature. An antacid tablet is CRUSHED and dropped into beaker P. The time taken for it to dissolve is recorded. Next, an identical antacid tablet is taken, dropped into beaker Q and the time taken for it to dissolve is also recorded. Which of them will dissolve faster and why?

Image:

Antacid (binary/octet-stream)

Answer

The powder in beaker P because the increase in surface area increases the rate at which it dissolves.
The tablet in beaker Q because the area is less and hence it will increase the rate at which it dissolves.
Both will take the same time because both the powder and the tablet are made of the same material.
It depends on the atmospheric temperature.

only 1, 3 and 4
all - 1, 2, 3 and 4

Question 42

Question

Sliced apples, when kept in water, take longer to turn brown than those kept outside. This is because of the enzymes, the proteins which speed up the biochemical reactions, present in an apple. Which of the following could be the reason for this?

Answer

The enzymes react with water and produce a white coating.
The enzymes do not have access to oxygen.
The enzymes cannot work at such low temperatures.
The enzymes die in the presence of water.

Question 43

Question

Shown below is a diagram of a weightless piston, which can slide in and out of a cylinder. (Assume that the arrangement is air tight) The gas inside the cylinder is heated (The dots inside the cylinder represent individual gas molecules). Which of the following will happen after a few minutes?

Question 44

Question

Figure P below shows a beaker of water being heated directly. However, some liquids like alcohol are heated using a water bath (figure Q). Which of these is NOT likely to be a reason for water baths to be used?

Image:

Beaker (binary/octet-stream)

Answer

It is safer to use them with inflammable liquids.
It allows more uniform heating of the liquid.
It is a faster way of heating a liquid.
It is convenient for liquids with low boiling points.

Question 45

Question

Beakers P and Q both contain the same amount of water, but at 30oC and 70oC respectively. If we could see the molecules of water in P and Q we would find that:

Image:

B Eaker+1 (binary/octet-stream)

Answer

There is no difference in the nature of the molecules or the speed at which they are moving in the two beakers.
There is no difference in the nature of the molecules but the molecules in Q are moving faster than those in P.
Molecules in Q are moving faster than in P; and some of them have split into Hydrogen and Oxygen atoms.
The speeds of molecules in P and Q are similar, but some in Q have split into Hydrogen and Oxygen atoms.
