What produces more severe burns
[question] Question. What produces more severe burns, boiling water or steam? [/question] [solution] Solution: Steam will produce more severe burns than boiling water. It is because, 1 g of steam at 373 K (100°C) contains 2260 J of heat energy more in the form of latent heat of vaporization as compared to water at 373 K (100°C ). Thus steam produces more severe burns. [/solution]...

Ice at 273 K is more effective in cooling,
[question] Question. Ice at 273 K is more effective in cooling, than water at the same temperature, why? [/question] [solution] Solution: At 0° both ice and water exist together. But the particle in water at 0°C have more energy as compared to particle in ice at the same temperature since during the change of state from ice to water, heat energy equal to latent heat of fusion has been absorbed. In the other words, ice, at 0°C is more effective in cooling a substance than water at 0°C. [/solution...

(a) Naphthalene balls disappear with time
[question] Question. (a) Naphthalene balls disappear with time without leaving any solid why? (b) We can get the smell of perfume sitting several meters away. [/question] [solution] Solution: (a) Naphthalene is volatile solid and has a tendency to sublime, therefore, it changes into vapours completely which disappear into the air and no solid is left. (b) This is because perfumes contain volatile solvent which carries pleasant smelling vapours. They diffuse quite fast and can reach to people sit...

What type of clothes should
[question] Question. What type of clothes should we wear in summer? [/question] [solution] Solution: We should wear light coloured cotton clothes in summer. Light colour because it reflects heat. Cotton clothes because it has pores in it, which absortbs sweat and allows the sweat to evaporate faster thereby giving cooling effect. [/solution]...
Why are we able to sip hot tea or milk
[question] Question. Why are we able to sip hot tea or milk faster from a saucer rather than a cup? [/question] [solution] Solution: Tea in a saucer has larger surface area than in a cup. The rate of evaporation is faster with increased surface area. The cooling of tea in saucer takes place sooner than in a cup. Hence we are able to sip hot tea or milk faster from a saucer rather than a cup. [/solution]...

How does the water kept in an earthen pot
[question] Question. How does the water kept in an earthen pot (matka) become cool during summer? [/question] [solution] Solution: The earthen pot is porous with lot of pores on it, the water oozes out through these pores and the water gets evaporated at the surface of the pot thereby causing cooling effect. This makes the pot cold and the water inside the pot cools by this process. [/solution]...
Why does a desert cooler cool better on a hot dry day?
[question] Question. Why does a desert cooler cool better on a hot dry day? [/question] [solution] Solution: The outer walls of the cooler get sprinkled by water constantly.

For any substance,
[question] Question. For any substance, why does the temperature remain constant during the change of state? [/question] [solution] Solution: During the change of state of any matter heat is supplied to the substance. The molecules of this matter use heat to overcome the force of attraction between the particles, at this period of time, temperature remains constant. This extra heat is acquired by the molecules in the form of hidden heat called latent heat to change from one state of matter to th...
