(d) 105
2. A change in temperature of 20 Co is equivalent to a change in
temperature on the Fahrenheit scale of approximately:
(a) 0.9
(b) 20K (c) 6.7 (d) 36
3. If T = 20C, then in Kelvin scale T =
(a) 0K (b) 20K (c) 293K (d) 200K

temperature, its pressure is:
(a) reduced to of original value
(b) reduced to of original value
(c) not changed
(d) double
5. The volume of a given mass of a gas will be doubled at
atmospheric pressure, if its temperature is changed from
250C to:
(a) 300C (b) 423C (c) 573C (d) 600C
6. All of the following express approximately the same pressure
except:
(a) 1 atm (b) 15 lb/in2
(c) 15lb/ft2
(d) 30 in Hg
7. The changed of state from solid to liquid is called:
(a) vaporization (b) fusion (c) diffusion
(d) none of these
8. The heat supplied or removed which causes a change of state
without a changed in temperature is called:
(a) latent heat
(b) latent heat of vaporization
(c) specific latent heat(d) none of these
9. At the melting point any further supplied heat energy is used
to overcome the attractive forces that hold the molecules in
fixed positions in a solid. That is why:
(a) kinetic energy of molecules does not increase
(b) the molecules acquired more potential energy and are able to slide
