17.

Read The Following Sentences Carefully, And Choose The Correct One:

a)

The spreading of purple colour of potassium permanganate into water, on its own, is due to the diffusion of potassium permanganate particles into water.

b)

The spreading of ink in water, on its own, is due to the diffusion of ink particle into water.

c)

The diffusion of a solid substance into another solid substance is so slow that many people think that diffusion does not take place in solids.

d)

All the above.

18.

Consider The Following Statements And Choose The Correct One(S):

The temperature at which a solid substance melts and changes into a liquid at atmospheric pressure is called melting point of the substance.

b)

When a solid is heated sufficiently it changes its physical state and becomes a liquid.

All the above.

19.

Assertion: We are able to sip hot tea or milk faster from a saucer rather than a cup.


Reason: The larger is the surface area more is, the more evaporation. Thus, evaporation is faster in a saucer causing more cooling than in a cup. For this reason, we can sip hot tea or milk faster from a saucer than a cup.

a)

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

b)

Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A

c)

A is true but R is false

d)

A is false but R is true

20.

Assertion: The rate of diffusion of liquids is lesser than that of solids.


Reason: This is due to the fact that in the liquid state, particles move freely and have a greater space between each other as compared to particles in the solid state.

a)

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

b)

Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A

c)

A is true but R is false

d)

A is false but R is true
