define evaporation. Explain what are the affecting factors of evaporation and how they effect on the rate of evaporation? |
|
Answer» The PHENOMENON of change of liquid into VAPOURS at any temperature below the boiling point of liquid is called evaporation. evaporation is also called as endothermic process. Factors affecting the rate of evaporation are: i) surface area - evaporation bein a surface area phenomenon, the rate of evaporation increases with increase in surface area. ii) temperature - the rate of evaporation increases with increase in temperature. iii) humidity - humidity is DEFINED as the amount of water vapour present in the air. the rate of evaporation decreases. iv) wind speed - the rate of evaporation increases with increase in wind soeed. and increase in speed if wind causes water vapours particle to move AWAY with the eind and this decreases the amount of water vapours in the surroundings. hope it helped you!!! |

Why do we get dew on the surface of a cold soft drink bottle kept in open air? |
|
Answer» we get dew on the SURFACE of a cold soft drink bottle KEPT in air because when that the temperature of surrounding air is higher than the temperature of the cold soft drink. Air contains water in the FORM of vapour. When the molecules of water in air, during their motion, strike the surface of the bottle which is cool. They lose their kinectic energy which LOWERS their temperature and they get converted into DROPLETS. |

Suppose we have one moving electron ,approaching towards a fixed electron. If they 1mm apart when the moving electron has the velocity of 1000cm/s. How far will be the moving electron from the fixed electron when it comes to the rest.mass of electron=9.1E-31 Kg charge of electron =1.6E-19 C |
|
Answer» INITIAL velocity (u)= 1000 cm/s = 10 m/s final velocity(v) = 0 initial distance ( final distance = mass of each electron (m) = 9.1E-31 Kg charge (Q) on each electron = -1.6E-19 C According to conservation of energy, the CHANGE in KE of the moving electron is equal to the increase in PE of the system. So |

How do you appreciate the role of higher specific heat of water in stabilizing atmospheric temperature during winter and summer seasons? |
|
Answer» Water has higher specific heat. And for that reason, it can act as effective heat bank for our atmosphere. A small change in the temperature of water is accompanied with RELEASE or absorption of high amount of energy. When the surrounding air HOT(in summer), water can absorb heat from atmosphere and either become vapour or just store it by increasing its temperature and as a result, cools the surrounding. When the surrounding air is COOLER(in WINTER). water can release the STORED energy as heat and raise the surrounding atmospheric temperature. So water helps in maintaining a balanced temperature of the atmosphere and it can do so due to its high specific heat energy. |

role of higher specific heat of water stabilising atmospheric temperature during winter and summer seasons |
| Answer» WATER has higher specific heat. A slight change in the temperature of water can release or ABSORB high amount of energy. When the surrounding air HOT which is the CASE in summer, water can absorb heat from atmosphere and store it as internal energy by increasing its temperature and as a result, decreases the temperature of the surrounding. When the surrounding air is cooler as the case in winter, water can release the STORED energy as heat and raise the surrounding atmospheric temperature. So due to its high specific heat energy, water can stabilize the atmospheric temperature. | |
