A. Specific heat depends on three factors 1. The change in temperature 2. The mass of
the system 3. The substance and phase of the substance.
2. Write two methods to avoid corrosion?
A. Painting, plating are the two methods to avoid corrosion.
3. Give important uses of washing soda and baking soda?
A. Two important uses of washing soda
(i) It is used in the manufacture of soap and glass.
(ii) It is used to remove the permanent hardness of water.
Two important uses of baking soda
(i) It is used for making baking powder.
(ii) It is used in soda- fire extinguishers.
4. How much energy is transferred when1g of boiling water at 1000C condenses to
water 1000C?
A. We know that latent heat of vaporization of water (L) = 540 cal/g
Hence the heat energy transferred when 1g of boiling water at 1000C condenses to
water 1000C is 540cal.
5. Balance the equations
1. Pb(NO3)2 → PbO + NO2 + O2
2. CO2 + H2O → C6H12O6 + O2
2A)The specific heat capacity of a substance is the amount of heat required to raise
one gram of the substance by one degree Celsius. Water, for example, has a specific
heat capacity of 4.18 . This means to heat one gram of water by one degree
Celsius, it would require 4.18 joules of energy.
The water of crystallisation gives the crystals of the salts their shape and colour.
When hydrated salts are heated strongly, they lose their water of crystallisation. By losing
water of crystallisation, the hydrated salts lose their regular shape and colour, and become
colourless powdery substances,
The salts which have lost their water of crystallisation are called anhydrous salts.
For Ex: Copper sulphate crystals are blue in colour. When copper sulphate crystals are heated
strongly, they lose water of crystallisation and form anhydrous copper sulphate which is
white in colour.
