Answer : There is no kink in laboratory thermometer. Therefore the temperature will fall as
soon as we remove the thermometer from the mouth & we will not be able to measure the
correct temperature of the body.

Answer : Mercury is used in thermometer because of following reasons:
i) It does not stick to the walls of capillary tube.
ii) Its silvery shine helps us to see temperature accurately.
iii) Its expansion is uniform.
iv) It does not vaporize easily.

Answer: We prefer two thin blankets joined together because the air trapped
between two blankets acts as an insulator and does not allow the body heat to
escape.

Answer : The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius. At this temperature the
water will begin to change from the liquid state to the gas state. In order for this
change to take place, additional energy is required. In fact, every kg of liquid water
requires 2.26x106 Joules of heat energy just to convert it to steam. This is called the
Lantent Heat of Vaporization. During the conversion process, temperature does not
increase. It is, therefore, possible to have both liquid water and steam that exist at
100 degrees Celsius. While they both would exist at the same temperature, the
steam would have a lot more heat energy due to the additional 2.26x10 6 Joules per
kilogram of heat energy that has been absorbed.

(b) (i) The initial pressure in a car tyre is 200 kPa and the temperature of the air in the tyre is 27
C. After a long journey, the temperature of the air in the tyre increases to 85 C. Calculate
the air pressure in tyre after the journey.

Answer :
a) The air molecules are still in motion // still collide with each other // still collide with
the wall
b) (i) T1 = 27 + 273 = 300 K // T2 = 85 + 273 = 358 K
200 P2
300 358
P2 = 238.67 kPa
(ii)Less than 240 kPa
According to Pressure law, Pressure increases when temperature increases // Pressure
is directly proportional to absolute temperature. Therefore, as the car moving,
temperature inside the tyre will increase, thus the pressure of the tyre will increase.
