Freezing point is the temperature at which a substance undergoes a phase transition from liquid to solid state. Water converts from liquid state to solid ice at a temperature of
.
Mass is the amount of matter contained in a substance. The SI unit of mass is kilogram. 1 kilogram is equal to 1000 g. One kilogram is defined as the mass of one cubic decimeter of water at the freezing point of water.
Answer:
Option (2)
Explanation:
Cohesion is usually defined as the contrasting property by which the water molecules are attached to one another, and adhesion is the property by which the molecular substances are linked to the molecules of other substances.
Since, the water molecules are able to form inter-molecular hydrogen bonding, so they are comprised of strong cohesive force.
And, as the water molecules are able to stick to the walls of the container, so they tend to show more of the properties for adhesion.
Thus, according to the given condition, water molecules are sticking to other substances and this is the property of adhesion.
Hence, the correct answer is option (2).
Answer: The vapor pressure of water at 10°C will be less as compared with its vapor pressure at 50°C.
Explanation:
Vapor pressure of a liquid is defined as the pressure exerted by the vapors in equilibrium with the liquid/solution at a particular temperature.
As Kinetic energy is dependent on the absolute temperature of the gas.

where R = gas constant
T = temperature
On increase in temperature, the kinetic energy of the molecules increase and thus more liquid molecules can escape to form vapours and thus will exert more vapor pressure.
Thus the vapor pressure of water at 10°C will be less as compared with its vapor pressure at 50°C.
Answer:
a) quadruple covalent bond
Explanation:
Quadruple covalent bonds are the strongest covalent bonds. The more the number of bonding pairs, the stronger the bond becomes.
- A covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons between two species.
- They are usually between compound with similar electronegativities.
- The number of bonds between the atom determines the bond strength.
Single < double < triple < quadruple covalent bonds.
