VIII. Give reasons for the following. 1. On supplying the same amount of heat to equal quantities of water and milk, their temperature rises by different amounts. Class-VIII Physics 7

8 Ans. On supplying the same amount of heat to equal quantities of water and milk, their temperature rises by different amounts. It is because the quantity of heat absorbed depends upon the nature of material. 2. Water cannot be used as a thermometric liquid. Ans. Water has the highest specific heat and a small amount of heat cannot raise the temperature of water. So water cannot be used as thermometric liquid 3. During summer, people use earthern pots to get cool water. Ans. When water comes out of the tiny pores of the earthern pots, it gets evaporated. It requires a lot of heat to change from liquid to vapour state. This heat is drawn from the surroundings and from the water itself. Thus water gets cooled. So people use earthern pots to get cool water during summer. 4. Kolkata has an equitable climate. Ans. Kolkata has an equitable climate because it is situated near sea and is affected by land and sea breezes which are due to high specific heat capacity of water. 5. We feel refreshed under a fan after perspiring. Ans. We feel refreshed under a fan after perspiring because when the sweat evaporates, it takes the heat required for evaporation from the body, thereby cooling it and maintaining the temperature of the body. 6. Water from lakes, rivers, etc. does not vaporise rapidly. Ans. Water from lakes, rivers, etc. does not vaporise rapidly because water has very high specific heat so a large amount of heat energy is required for evaporation of water. 7.

9 9. It takes much lesser time to heat 10 g of mercury to 50 C than to heat 10 g of water to the same temperature. Ans. It takes much lesser time to heat 10 g of mercury to 50 C than to heat 10 g of water to the same temperature because the quantity of heat absorbed depends upon the chemical composition or nature of the substances i.e., specific heat of the substance. Specific heat of mercury is 136 J/kg C whereas the specific heat of mercury is 4200 J/kg C. 10. Steam causes more severe burns than boiling water. Ans. Steam causes more severe burns than boiling water because steam at 100 C releases additional heat which is equal to latent heat, which makes it to cause more severe burns. 11. A hot water bottle is a more effective warming device than a block of wood having the same mass and at the same temperature. Ans. A hot water bottle is a more effective warming device than a block of wood having the same mass and at the same temperature because water in hot water bottles has very high specific heat capacity and can store a large amount of heat energy at comparatively low temperature as compared to a block of wood. 12. We generally feel cold after bath. Ans. We generally feel cold after bath because when water evaporates, it takes the heat required for evaporation from the body which makes the body feel cold. 13. It is generally colder after a hail storm than during and before the hailstorm. Ans. It is generally cold after a hailstorm than during and before the hail storm because water has high specific heat capacity and the hail requires a lot of heat to convert into liquid state which it takes from the surroundings and makes the environment cool. 14. In summer after a rainfall, the heat is generally very oppressive. Ans. In summer after a rainfall, the heat is generally very oppressive because, the air is almost saturated with water vapour. Thus, the evaporation of sweat from our body drops suddenly and hence the Class-VIII Physics 9

10 body stops losing heat. This in turn gives a very oppressive sensation. 15. In summer, dogs hang out their tongues. Ans. During summer, saliva of dog s tongue get evaporated by taking heat from dog s body so, they hang out their tongues. 16. Tea gets cooled when sugar is added to it. Ans. Tea gets cooled when sugar is added to it because sugar particles take some heat from tea to get dissolve and make the tea cool. 17. Ice-cream appears colder to the mouth as compared to water at 0 C. Ans. Ice-cream appears colder to the mouth than water at 0 C due to its high latent heat of fusion. Every gram of ice-cream absorbs 336 joules of heat energy more than water at 0 C from the mouth. 18. Damp khus-khus screens are used to cool air in the room in summers. Ans. Damp khus-khus screens are used to cool air in the room in summers. The reason is that when water evaporates from the khus-khus, latent heat of vapourization is taken from the air entering the room, as a result the air of the room gets cool. 19. A person with high fever is often advised to put a wet cloth on his/ her forehead. Ans. A person with high fever is often advised to put a wet cloth on his/ her forehead, the reason is that when water from wet cloth put on patients forehead evaporates, it takes away the necessary heat from the body of the patient and thus lowers the temperature of his/her body. IX. Answer the following questions. 1. (a) Define heat energy. (b) How does heat energy flow from one body to another body? Ans.

What do you understand by the statement that specific heat capacity of copper is 400 J kg 1 C 1? Ans. The statement specific heat capacity of copper is 400 J kg 1 C 1 means that 400 Joules of heat energy is required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of copper through 1 C. 6. What do you understand by the term thermal capacity? State its units? Ans. The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a given mass of substance through 1 C is called its heat capacity or thermal capacity. Its unit is J/ C in S.I. system. 7. Why do we prefer warm water in hot water bottles for fomentation? Class-VIII Physics 11

12 Ans. Owing to its high specific heat capacity of 4.2 J/ C, water can store large amount of heat energy at comparatively low temperature as compared to other substances so, it is used in hot water bottles for fomentation purposes. 8. Explain the formation of land and sea breezes. Ans. Sea Breeze: During day time, the temperature of the land rises more rapidly as compared to the sea. It is because the specific heat of land is less than the sea water. The air above the land gets heated, and rises up. It results in the fall of pressure on the land. To make up for this fall in pressure, the cold air from the sea starts blowing towards the land. It gives rise to sea breeze. Land Breeze: During night, the land loses its heat more rapidly as compared to sea on account of its low specific heat capacity. So warm air above the sea expands and rises up. Thus, the air pressure falls over the sea. To make up for this fall in pressure, the cold air from the land starts blowing towards the sea giving rise to land breeze. 9. Why is water used as a coolant in the radiators of motor car engines? Ans. Water is used as a coolant in the radiators of motor car engines as it has the highest specific heat capacity of 4.2 J/g C. Thus it can absorb a large amount of excess heat energy produced by the automobile engines, but itself does not rise to a very high temperature. 10.

What do you understand by the term latent heat of vaporisation? Support your answer with an example. Ans. Latent heat of vaporization of a substance is the quantity of heat required to convert unit mass of a substance from liquid to vapour state at its boiling point without any change of temperature. For example, 1 g of water at 100 C requires 2260 J of energy to change into vapour at the same temperature. 12. Under similar conditions, which will cool faster 1 kg of aluminium at 400 C and 1 kg of lead at the same temperature? Ans. Specific heat of aluminium (900 J/kg C) is more than that of lead (130 J/kg C). Hence lead will cool faster. 13. State three factors on which the evaporation of a liquid depends? Ans. Evaporation of a liquid depends upon the following three factors. (a) The nature of the liquid (b) Area of exposed surface (c) The temperature of the liquid (d) Humidity or the amount of water vapour present in air 14. What is evaporation? Ans.
