Question

Give reason;

The smell of hot sizzling food reaches to us several metres away.

Answer 1

Hey!!!!


The smell of hot sizzling food reaches us several metres away. This is because the smell of food diffuses in air and hot gases diffuses faster than cold gases .The particles of smell having high kinetic energy vibrates faster and reaches to us . And thus, we can smell the food from several metres away.

Answer 2

When molecules of some volatile substances from hot sizzling food diffuse into air and reach the odur sensitive part of our nose we have the perception of smell.

At higher temperature of molecules diffuse into air at a faster rate and therefore travel long distances.

Hence the smell of hot sizzling food reaches as quickly even when we are several metres away.

While on the contrary , when the food is called the vapour diffuse is at a slower rate and therefore does not travel longer distances.

So, one has to come closer to have the perception of smell.
