Cooking pans are made from metals such as copper, brass, stainless steel, etc. They have low specific heat capacity and hence rapidly attain the temperature of flame used for heating. This in turn can burn the food. To avoid burning of food the base is made heavy and thick, so that the temperature within the pan is less than the flame and hence the food cooks without burning. 4

Why are hot water bottles very efficient for fomentation? Ans.Water has the highest sp. heat capacity of 4.2 Jg 1 C 1. Furthermore, its temperature does not rise beyond 100 C, under normal conditions. Thus, it can store large amount of heat energy at quite a bearable temperature and hence it is ideal for fomentation purposes. 5

17. What are land and sea breezes? Explain how are they caused in the coastal regions. Ans. Local winds which blow from the sea to the land during the day-time and from the land to the sea during night-time are called sea and land breezes. Formation of sea breeze : Specific latent heat capacity of land is about five time less, as compared to water. Thus, when the sun shines equally on the sea, as well as on the land, the land gets comparatively hot as compared to the sea. The air above the land gets hot and hence, rises, thereby causing a drop in pressure. To make up for the drop in pressure, the cold air from the sea, blows towards the land, thereby giving rise to sea breeze. Formation of land breeze : At night the sea water, as well as the land radiate heat energy. However, the land radiates heat energy, at much faster rate as compared to the sea, owing to its five times less specific heat capacity, as compared to the sea water. Thus, on the whole, the sea is comparatively warmer as compared to the land. The air above the sea gets warm and rises up. This causes a fall in pressure. To make up for this fall in pressure, the cold air from the land blows towards the sea, thereby giving rise to land breeze. 6

18. Discuss the role of high specific heat capacity of water, with reference to the climate in coastal regions. Ans. The climate in coastal regions remains moderate due to the blowing in of the cold air from sea during day-time (sea breeze) and blowing out of the cold air from land to sea (land breeze), during night-time. The land and sea breeze are formed as under : Write here formation of land and sea breeze as in Q 17. 19. Why is water used as a coolant in motor-car radiators? Ans. Water has the highest specific heat capacity of 4.2 Jg 1 C 1 and its temperature does not rise beyond 100 C. Thus, it can absorb large amount of heat from a working engine, which is then radiated out through the radiator. Thus, on this low temperature the engine works efficiently. 20. Why is water sprayed on roads in the evening in hot summer? Ans.Water has the highest specific heat capacity of 4.2 Jg 1 C 1. Thus, water absorbs large amount of heat from the roads, but its own temperature does not rise much. Thus, on the whole the roads get cooled. 21. Why the temperature in hot summer falls sharply, after a sharp shower? Ans. Water has the highest specific heat capacity of 4.2 Jg 1 C 1. Thus, when there is a sharp shower, the water evaporates. In doing so, it absorbs large amount of heat from surroundings, hence temperature falls sharply. 7

22. Why do sandy soils get heated up quickly as compared to wet soils? Ans. The specific heat capacity of the sand is about five times less than that of the water. Thus, when sun shines equally on sandy soil and the wet soil, the sandy soil gets heated up rapidly as compared to the wet soil. It is because, water absorbs large amount of heat energy, but its temperature does not rise sufficiently. 23. Why is water considered the best liquid for quenching thirst? Ans. Water has the highest specific heat capacity of 4.2 Jg 1 C 1 and hence it can absorb large amount of heat energy, without rising in temperature sufficiently. Thirst is the natural signal, when body produces more heat energy than required. Thus, water is ideal for quenching thirst, because it can absorb large amount of heat energy. 24. Why is it advisable to pour cold water over burns, caused on the human body, by hot solids? Ans. Water has the highest specific heat capacity of 4.2 Jg 1 C 1. Thus, it can extract large amount of heat energy rapidly from the site of burn and hence gives a lot of relief. 8

25. Why does a wise farmer waters his fields, if the forecast says it is going to be frost? Ans. The frost can seriously damage the leaves and fruits of the plants. When a farmer waters his fields, during night, this water gives large amount of heat energy, because 1 g of water will liberate 4.2 J of energy for every 1 C fall in temperature. Thus, the air around the field is saturated with heat energy and its temperature does not fall below 0 C. Thus, no frost is formed. 26. Why are big tubs of water kept in underground cellars for storing fresh fruit and vegetables in cold countries? Ans. During sub-zero temperatures, the water within the cells of fruits and vegetables freezes and hence damages them. To avoid such a damage the huge water tubs are kept. The water gives off 4200 J of heat energy for every one kg for 1 C fall in temperature. Thus, it does not allow the temperature of cellar to fall below 0 C, and hence, their is no damage to fresh fruits or vegetables. 27. Define the following terms : (i)fusion (ii) Melting point Ans.

29. Bottled drinks are cooled more effectively, when surrounded by lumps of ice than iced water. Or Why do bottled soft drinks get cooled more quickly by ice cubes than by iced water. Ans. Every 1 kg of ice at 0 C absorbs 336,000 J of heat energy to form water at 0 C. As ice can extract 336,000 J of heat energy, more than water at 0 C, therefore, it cools the bottled drinks more effectively. 30. Why does atmospheric temperature fall after a hailstorm? Ans. Ice has the highest sp. latent heat of fusion of 336,000 Jkg 1. Thus, when the hail melts, it absorb large amount of heat energy from the surroundings. Thus, the atmospheric temperature drops. 31. Why does weather become pleasant when it starts freezing in cold countries? Ans. Ice has the highest sp. latent heat of fusion of 336,000 Jkg 1. Thus, every 1 kg of water at 0 C, on freezing releases 336,000 J of heat energy. As enormous amount of heat energy is released in atmosphere, therefore weather becomes pleasant. 32.

Draw a temperature-time graph to represent cooling curve. Ans. 38. Ice-cream appears colder to mouth than water at 0 C. Give a reason. Ans. Ice has the highest sp. latent heat of fusion, i.e., 336 Jg 1. Thus, every one gram of ice on melting in mouth extracts out 336 J of extra heat energy, as compared to water at 0 C. Thus, ice-cream appears colder than water at 0 C. 13
