Q.1) How do you distinguish between temperature and heat? Give examples.
Answer:
Temperature is a quantitative property possessed by a material. It helps us to recognize which body is hot and which one is hotter or colder. For example, the body which has a low temperature when it is placed in contact with some heat source will have a rise in temperature with the passage of time. This can be felt by touching it.
Heat on the other hand is the amount of energy that is transferred from one body to another because of differences in their temperatures. For example, when we place a hotter and colder body in contact with each other then after some time the temperature of both bodies will be the same. This is due to temperature transfer. The temperature will transfer from a hotter body to a colder body until both bodies will be in thermal equilibrium.
Hence we can say that temperature is the characteristic of a body while heat is a property dependent on temperature.
Q.2) Why is the earth not In thermal equilibrium with the sun?
Answer:
Thermal equilibrium is a state obtained by placing two bodies in contact with each other.
As in the case of the sun and earth, the earth is not directly in contact with the sun, therefore, the temperature of the earth is not the same as that of the sun.
Earth is in contact with the surrounding environment and hence the temperature of the earth is in thermal equilibrium with the environment. Sun comprises a very small portion of the environment, therefore it does not have a thermal equilibrium with the earth.
If the sun comprises that maximum part of the surrounding earth, then the earth will be in thermal equilibrium with the sun.
Q.3) Is temperature a microscopic or macroscopic conÂcept?
Answer:
Temperature is a macroscopic property as it is a measurement of heat.
It is the emission of all radiation from a body.
Q.4) It is observed that when a mercury In a glass thermometer is put In a flame, the column of mercury first descends and then rises. Explain?
Answer:
When we put a mercury thermometer in flame then the column of mercury first descends and then rises. This is because at first, the capillary tube containing mercury got in contact with heat. Due to this heat, the capillary tube expands which results in a drop of mercury level in the thermometer.
When the capillary tube reaches its maximum expansion then the heat will transfer to the mercury inside it. Then due to heat absorption, the mercury will expand and there will be a rise in the level of mercury in the thermometer.
Q.5) Is it correct that unit for specific heat capacity Is m2 S -2 (Co ) -1
Answer:
SI unit of specific heat capacity is joule per kilogram per kelvin. We know that,
J Kg-1 K-1 = (Kgm2s-2) (Kg-1) (K-1)
=m2s-2K-1 = m2s-2 (Co + 273.1)-1
Therefore we can say that a unit of specific heat capacity can be joule per kilogram per kelvin.
Q.6) What is the standard temperature?
Answer:
Standard temperature is defined as zero degrees Celsius, which translates to 32 degrees Fahrenheit and 273.15 degrees kelvin. This temperature is necessary for freezing water in the air at standard pressure.
Q.7) When a block with a hole in It Is heated, why does not the material around the hole expand into the hole and make it small?
Answer:
When we heat the box with a hole in it then the whole does not get smaller due to the expansion of the box but it gets wider.
When we heat the block then all of its dimensions will expand linearly including the dimensions of the hole. It can be visualized as when the material of the box expands then its molecular bonds are lengthened.
Consider two identical boxes without any holes. Now cut a hole in one of the boxes and then heat up both the boxes. Both of the blocks will expand and so will the hole. That is the reason that the hole will also expand when the box expands.
Q.8) A thermometer is placed in direct sunlight. Will it read the temperature of the air, or of the sun. or of something else.
Answer:
When we place a thermometer in sunlight then it will read the temperature of the surrounding air. As the thermometer reads the temperature of the material with which it is connected directly.
Therefore we can say that the thermometer will read the temperature of the air surrounding the thermometer. If the thermometer was in direct contact with the sun then it would read the temperature of the sun itself.
Q.9) Will kilograms of hydrogen contain more atoms than kilograms of lead? Explain.
Answer:
Yes, one kilogram of hydrogen contains more atoms than one kilogram of lead.
As hydrogen atoms are much lighter as compared to lead atoms, therefore we contain more hydrogen atoms in a given mass than any other material.
Q.10) The pressure in a gas cylinder containing hydroÂgen will leak more quickly than if it is containing oxygen. Why?
Answer:
If we had two gas cylinders, one containing oxygen in it and the other containing hydrogen. Then the pressure in a gas cylinder containing hydrogen will leak more quickly than the cylinder containing oxygen.
This is due to the fact that hydrogen is a lighter gas or liquid s compared to oxygen and lighter liquids flow more quickly as compared to heavier.
This can be understood by the example of two containers containing water and honey. When there is a leak point in both of the cylinders then the pressure of the cylinder containing water will release more quickly as compared to the cylinder containing honey.
Q.11) What are some factors that affect the efficiency of automobile engines?
Answer:
The efficiency of an automobile engine depends on,
- Temperature of hot reservoir
- Temperature of cold reservoir
- Heat changes
Therefore, these will be the factors which can affect the efficiency of an automobile engine.
Q.12) What happens to the temperature of a room in which an air conditioner is left running on a taÂble in the middle of the room.
Answer:
The operating function of an air condition works in a way that it extracts heat from one side and releases it to the other side. If we have an air conditioner in the middle of the room on a table then it will extract heat from its front side and will release it to the opposite side. Therefore, there will be no overall change in the temperature of the room as heat extracted and released is in the same room.
That is the reason that we fix our air conditioners on a wall such that it can release the heat outside the room. In that way we can have our room cold.
Q.13) When a sealed thermos bottle full of hot coffee is shaken, what are the changes, if any in
a) the temperature of the coffee and
b) The Internal energy of the coffee.
Answer:
When we shake the bottle then the collision of the molecules of coffee will increase and as a result of that increase in collision,
- Temperature of coffee will increase and
- Internal energy of coffee will also increase

Q.1) i. The normal body temperature Is 98.4° F . What is this temperature on Celsius scale ?
ii. At what temperature do the Fahrenheit and Celsius
Answer:
i)
Given Data:
Temperature of normal body = TF = 98.4oF
To Find:
Temperature in Celsius = TC = ?
Solution:
We know that
ToC = (5/9) (ToF – 32)
Putting values, we get
TC = (0.56) (98.4 – 32) = 36.88oC
Tc=36.88oC………………………………..Answer
ii)
We know that
ToC = (5/9) (ToF – 32)
Consider,
TC = TF = X
Then putting this, we get
X = (5/9) (X – 32) = (5/9)X – 17.78
Or,
X – (5/9)X = 17.78
X ( 1-5/9) = 17.78
X (0.444) = 17.78
Therefore,
x=40o………………………………………….Answer
Q.2) A steel rod has a length of exactly 0.2 cm at 30°C. What will be its length at 60°C
Answer:
Given Data:
Length of steel rod = L1 = 0.2 cm

Temperature = T2 = 60oC = 333o K
Temperature co efficient = α = 11 × 10-6K-1
To Find:
Length at 60oC = L2 = ?
Solution:
We know that,
L2 = L1 (1 + α ΔT) = L1 [1 + α (T2 – T1)]
Putting values, we get
L2 = (0.2cm) [1 + 11 × 10-6K-1 (333oK – 303oK)] = (0.2cm) [1 + 11 × 10-6K-1 (30oK)]
