Vaishnavi Iyer - Roll No.15

Chapter -1: MATTER  IN OUR SURROUNDING

Question: Why do we observe that the level of water does not change even after dissolving salt in it?

Answer: The whole universe is surrounded  by material known as "matter", which is made up of small particles. When the salt are dissolved in water, the particles of salt spread throughout the space in between the water particles. Hence the level of water does not change even after dissolving the salt in it.

1) What is latent heat of fusion
      The amount of heat energy that is required to change 1kg of solid into liquid  at atmosphereic pressure at its melting point is known as the latent heat of fusion.

2)  What is latent heat of vaporisation
      Particles in the stream, have 373K(100°C) have more energy than water at same temperature. This is because particles in stream have absorbed extra  energy  in the form of latent heat of vaporisation.
