The melting point of mercury is:

  1. $38.8\ ^\circ C$

  2. $-38.8\ ^\circ C$

  3. $4250\ ^\circ C$

  4. $452\ ^\circ C$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Melting point of mercury is $-38.83^oC$

Water at normal atmospheric pressure boils at :

  1. $0^{\circ}C$

  2. $100^{\circ}C$

  3. $250\ K$

  4. $50^{\circ}C$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Boiling occurs when the vapor pressure exceeds the surrounding pressure from the atmosphere. At standard atmospheric pressure, water boils at approximately $100^0 C$.

Boiling point of water at normal atmospheric pressure is ____________

  1. ${0}^{o}C$

  2. ${100}^{o}C$

  3. ${110}^{o}C$

  4. ${-5}^{o}C$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Boiling point of water at normal atmospheric pressure is $100^oC$

The temperature of boiling water in the Kelvin scale of temperature is:

  1. $100$ K

  2. $373.15$ K

  3. $212$ K

  4. $273.15$ K


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The relation between Celsius and Kelvin is given by, $K = C + 273.15$

So, temperature of boiling water $=100^oC=100+273.15K=373.15K$

Cooking takes longest time

  1. At the sealevel

  2. At Simla

  3. At Mount Everest

  4. In a submarine 100 m below the surface of water


Correct Option: C

Normallly the body temperature of healthy person is ______ Degree celcius?

  1. 25

  2. 37

  3. 30

  4. 32


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Normally the body temperature of healthy person is $37^oC$ or ($98.6^oF$)
It is scientific fact that normal body temperature of a healthy body is $37^oC$. Apparently it is the perfect balance as it's warm enough to prevent fungal infection but not so hot that we need to eat non-stop to maintain out metabolism.

Water in a lake is changing into ice at $0^{o}C$. When the atmospheric temperature is $10^{o}C$. If the time taken for $1\ cm$ thick ice layer to be formed is $7$ hour, the time required for the thickness of ice to increase from $1\ cm $ to $2\ cm$ is

  1. $7\ hour$

  2. $14\ hour$

  3. $<7\ hour$

  4. $>14\ hour$


Correct Option: B

25 degree celcius is equal to ?

  1. 77 Fahrenheit

  2. 85 Fahrenheit

  3. 100 Fahrenheit

  4. 120 Fahrenheit


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
For converting $^oC$ in $^oF$, we know by formula:
$F=\cfrac{9}{5}C+32$
For $25^oC$,
$F=\cfrac { 9 }{ 5 } \times 25+32=45+32=77℉\\ 25℃=77℉$

How much heat energy is gained when 5 kg of water at  $20 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { C }$ is brought to its boiling point?

  1. 1680 KJ

  2. 1700 KJ

  3. 1720 KJ

  4. 1740 KJ


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

$Q = mc\Delta \theta $

$ = 5 \times \left( {1000 \times 4.2} \right) \times \left( {100 - 20} \right)$
$ = 1680 \times {10^3}J$
$ = 1680\,KJ$
Hence,
option $(A)$ is correct answer.

The melting point and the boiling point of oxygen is:

  1. negative

  2. positive

  3. zero

  4. none of these


Correct Option: A
