C) Answer the following questions.
What is the speed of the water particles compared with?
Solution
The speed of the water particles is compared with the height of a group of adult humans where there is an average height but everyone is not the same.
How are bubbles formed in the boiling water?
Solution
Bubbles are formed in the boiling water when water molecules have enough energy to push back other water molecules in the liquid phase at some point when the temperature of the water is increasing.
Mention two things on which external pressure depends.
Solution
The two things on which external pressure depends are as follows:
i.) Depth and density of the water
ii.) The gravitational field.
How is the atmosphere related to the pressure of water?
Solution
The atmosphere is related to the pressure of water as it pushes down on the surface of the liquid to increase the pressure in the liquid.
What would happen if the atmospheric pressure on the liquid water was decreased?
Solution
If the atmospheric pressure on the liquid water was decreased, it would also reduce the pressure in the liquid, and the water particles would have enough energy to form their tiny little boiling bubbles without the need to increase the temperature.
What would the experimenter gain if s/he pulled the plunger out?
Solution
The experimenter would gain boiling as the pressure in the liquid would be decreased if s/he pulled the plunger out.
