Question 2.
Have you observed a balloon seller fill a large number of balloons from a single cylinder ? How is it possible ?
Answer:

  1. A large amount of gas is compressed and filled in a single cylinder.
  2. So, it is sufficient to fill a large number of balloons.
  3. From this we can conclude that gas has no fixed volume.

  1. Situation B can possible to do.
  2. Gas can compress and fill in container.
  3. But liquid cannot be compressed and its volume is fixed.

Question 4.
In which state kinetic energy of particles is more ? Why ?
Answer:

  1. In the gaseous state K.E is more.
  2. In the gaseous state, the particles move randomly at high speed because they contain more space to move.

Question 5.
How do you say particles of matter have space between them ?
Answer:
When we make tea, coffee or lemonade (nimbu paani), particles of one type of matter get into the spaces between particles of the other. This shows that there is enough space between particles of matter.

Question 6.
Describe the arrangement of particles in solids, liquids and gases.
Answer:

  1. The arrangement of particles is most ordered in the case of solids.
  2. In the case of liquids layers of particles can slip and slide over each other.
  3. But in the gases, there is no order, particles just move about randomly.

Question 7.
Vani noticed that the water particles were faster while boiling the water. What is the reason ?
Answer:

  1. When water molecules absorb heat energy, the kinetic energy of water molecules increases.
  2. This increase in K.E. causes the rapid velocity of water particles.

Question 8.
When a solid (ice) melts, its temperature remains the same, so where does the heat energy go ? Explain.
Answer:

  1. This heat gets used up in changing the state by overcoming the forces of attraction between the particles.
  2. As this heat energy is absorbed by ice without showing any rise in temperature, it is considered that it gets hidden into the contents of the beaker and is known as the latent heat.

Question 9.
What happens when we supply heat energy to the water continuously ?
Answer:

  1. When we supply heat energy to water, particles start moving even faster.
  2. At a certain temperature, a point is reached when the particles have enough energy to break free from the forces of attraction of each other.
  3. At this temperature the liquid starts changing into gas.

Question 13.
Siddhu observed that clothes dry faster on a windy day. Write the reason.
Answer:

  1. It is a common observation that clothes dry faster on a windy day.
  2. With the increase in wind speed, the particles of water vapour move away with the wind, decreasing the amount of water vapour in the surrounding.

Question 14.
What is humidity ? How does it affect evaporation ?
Answer:

  1. Humidity is the amount of water vapour present in air.
  2. The air around us cannot hold more than a definite amount of water vapour at a given temperature. If the amount of water in air is already high, the rate of evaporation decreases.

Question 15.
Petrol is leaked from a tanker. You are away from the tanker, but you can recognize the smell of the petrol. How is it possible ?
Answer:

  1. The evaporated petrol particles move through the air and reaches us.
  2. It is called a process of diffusion.
  3. So, we can recognise the smell of the petrol eventhough we are away frorm the leaked tanker.

Question 16.
Take a vessel with water or any liquid. Keeps on evaporating it. Then what happens to the surroundings ? Do they get cool down or heat up ? Why ?
Answer:

  1. When the liquid keeps on evaporating the surroundings cool down.
  2. The particles of liquid absorb energy from the surroundings to regain the energy lost during evaporation.
  3. This absorption of energy from the surroundings makes the surroundings cold.

Question 18.
Why do we see water droplets on the outer surface of a glass containing ice-cold water? (OR)
Take some ice-cold water in a tumbler. Soon we will see water droplets on the outer surface of the tumbler. Why ?
Answer:

  1. The water vapour present in air, on coming in contact with the cold glass of water, loses energy and gets converted to liquid state, which we see as water droplets.
  2. It is called condensation.

Question 19.
Define melting and boiling point.
Answer:
The temperature at which solid changes to liquid state is known as melting point.
The temperature at which a liquid change to gaseous (Vapour state) is known as boiling point.

Question 20.
Define latent heat of fusion.
Answer:
The amount of heat energy absorbed when a substance changes from solid to liquid at its melting point is called the latent heat of fusion of the solid.

Question 21.
Define latent heat of vaporisation.
Answer:
The amount of heat energy absorbed when a substance changes from liquid to vapour at its boiling point is called the latent heat of vaporisation of the liquid.

Question 22.
Why is the rate of diffusion in gases high ?
Answer:
The rate of diffusion in gases is very high, because

  1. the attraction forces between particles are less,
  2. the distance between particles is maximum.
    So, particles can move fastly.

Question 26.
Gases are more compressible. Write two reasons for this.
Answer:
Gases are more compressible due to weak forces of attraction between molecules of gases and more intermolecular spaces.

Question 27.
Rate of diffusion is faster in gases. Why ?
Answer:

  1. In case of gaseous state, due to negligible force of attraction they can move freely.
  2. That is why rate of diffusion is faster in gases.

Question 28.

Question 36.
Explain the inter conversion of three states of matter in terms of force of attraction and kinetic energy of the molecules.
Answer:
During the inter conversion of a solid into a liquid and liquid into gas, on increasing the temperature the kinetic energy of the molecules increases and force of attraction among molecules decreases and vice-versa.

Important Questions on Matter in Our Surroundings Class 9 – 5 Marks

Question 1.
What are the factors that affect evaporation ? Explain.
Answer:
1) An increase of surface area : We know that evaporation is a surface phenomenon. If the surface area is increased, the rate of evaporation increases. For example, while putting clothes for drying up we spread them out.

2) An increase of temperature : With the increase of temperature, a greater number of particles get enough kinetic energy to go into the vapour state.

3) A decrease in humidity : Humidity is the amount of water vapour present in air. The air around us cannot hold more than a definite amount of water vapour at a given temperature. If the amount of water in air is already high, the rate of evaporation decreases.

4. An increase in wind speed : It is a common observation that clothes dry faster on a windy day. With the increase in wind speed, the particles of water vapour move away with the wind, decreasing the amount of water vapour in the surrounding.

Question 2.
Define Evaporation. On what factors does the evaporation depends on ?
Answer:
The conversion of a liquid into it’s vapour state is known as evaporation.

Factors effecting Evaporation:
1) Nature of the liquid :
• Lower the B.P. of a liquid higher the rate of evaporation.
2) Temperature of the Liquid :
• Higher the temperature of a liquid quicker the rate of evaporation.
3) Surface Area :

• Higher the wind velocity quicker the rate of evaporation.

Question 3.
How is melting takes place ?
(OR)
What happens inside the matter during this change of state from solid to liquid ?
Answer:

  3. The energy supplied by heat overcomes the forces of attraction between the particles.
  4. The particles leave their fixed positions and start moving more freely.
  5. A stage is reached when the solid melts and is converted to a liquid.
  6. the minimum temperature at which a solid melt to become a liquid at the atmospheric pressure is called its melting point.

Question 4.

b) Differences between condensation and evaporation :

Condensation Evaporation
In condensation gas changes into liquid. In evaporation liquid changes into gas.
It occurs at specific temperature. It occurs at any temperature.
It is a warming process. It is a cooling process.
