Question

1. The mass per unit volume
substance is called density.
(density mass/volume).
Arrange the following in order of
increasing density - air, exhaust
from chimneys, honey, water,
chalk, cotton and iron.
2. (a) Tabulate the differences in
the characterisitcs of states
of matter.
(b) Comment upon the following:
rigidity, compressibility,
fluidity, filling a gas
container, shape, kinetic
energy and density.
3. Give reasons
(a) A gas fills completely the
vessel in which it is kept.
(b) A gas exerts pressure on the
walls of the container.
(c) A wooden table should be
called a solid.
(d) We can easily move our hand
in air but to do the same
through a solid block of wood
we need a karate expert.
4. Liquids generally have lower
density as compared to solids.
But you must have observed that
ice floats on water. Find out why.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The mass per unit volume of a substance is called density. (Density = mass/volume) Arrange the following in order of increasing density - air, exhaust from chimneys, honey, water, chalk, cotton and iron. Answer: The increasing order of density is air < exhaust from chimney < cotton < water < honey < chalk < iron.
