Assertion–Reason Questions (Mark the correct option)
A. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
B. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C. Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
D. Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.
Q1 A: Gases can be compressed easily.
R: Gases have large intermolecular spaces.
Q.2 A: We feel cool when water evaporates from our skin.
R: Evaporation causes absorption of heat from surroundings.
Q.3 A: At 0°C, ice and water can exist together.
R: 0°C is the melting point of ice as well as freezing point of water.
Q.4 A: Latent heat is the heat absorbed or released without a change in temperature.
R: This energy is used to change the state of matter.
Q.5 A: Rate of evaporation decreases with increase in surface area.
R: More surface area allows more molecules to escape easily.
Q.6 A: Air is a homogeneous mixture.
R: Its components cannot be separated by physical methods.
Q.7 A: Milk is a colloid.
R: It shows Tyndall effect.
Q.8 A: Filtration can be used to separate sugar from sugar solution.
R: Filtration separates soluble substances from a solvent.
Q.9 A: A saturated solution contains the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved
at a given temperature.
R: Solubility of solids in liquids increases with rise in temperature.
Q.10 A: True solutions do not scatter light.
R: The particle size in a true solution is smaller than 1 nm.
Answer these questions:
1. Why do we feel cool after sweating?
