Answer 1

When a bottle of perfume is open in a room we can smell it even from a condition table distance because particles of perfume vaporises in air due to latent heat of vaporization.

Answer 2

ANSWER:

》This phenomenon can be explained on the basis of Kinetic Theory of Gas (KTG).

》According to this theory, gases moves continuously in random motion.

》When a bottle of perfume is open in a room we can smell it even from a condition table distance due to diffusion.

》Diffusion occur from high concentration to low concentration.

》The bottle has high concentration of the perfume particles but the surrounding air lacks it.

》So due to diffusion the perfume particles starts moving from the perfume bottle to the suurounding air along the concentratio.

》In the surrounding air, the gas molecules of the perfume collides and gets distributed throughout the air.
