Temperature Conversion and States of Matter

The document provides temperature conversion methods between Celsius and Kelvin, explains phenomena like sublimation and diffusion, and discusses the physical states of water at various temperatures. It also compares the cooling effectiveness of ice versus water and the burn severity of steam versus boiling water. Additionally, it identifies different phase changes in a diagram.

1.

Convert the following temperatures to the Celsius scale:

(a) 293 K = 293 - 273 = 20°C

(b) 470 K = 470 - 273 = 197°C

2. Convert the following temperatures to the Kelvin scale:

(a) 25°C = 25 + 273 = 298 K

(b) 373°C = 373 + 273 = 646 K

3. Give reason for the following observations:

(a) Naphthalene balls disappear with time without leaving any solid because they undergo

sublimation.

(b) We can get the smell of perfume sitting several metres away due to diffusion of perfume

particles through air.

4. Arrange the following substances in increasing order of forces of attraction between the particles:

Oxygen < Water < Sugar

5. What is the physical state of water at:

(a) 25°C - Liquid

(b) 0°C - Solid and liquid (at melting point)

(c) 100°C - Liquid and gas (at boiling point)

6. Give two reasons to justify:

(a) Water at room temperature is a liquid because it has no fixed shape but has a fixed volume.

(b) An iron almirah is a solid at room temperature because it has a definite shape and volume.

7. Ice at 273 K is more effective in cooling than water at the same temperature because ice absorbs

more latent heat during melting.

8. Steam produces more severe burns than boiling water because steam has more heat energy due

to latent heat of vaporization.

9. Name A, B, C, D, E and F in the following diagram:

A - Melting
B - Condensation

C - Deposition

D - Freezing

E - Vaporization

F - Sublimation
