Mark the correct statement(s) of the following.
1. | In the case of liquids, the boiling point increases with pressure for all liquids. |
2. | In the case of solids, the melting point decreases with pressure for all solids. |
3. | In the case of ice, the melting point decreases with pressure. |
4. | In the case of ice, the melting point increases with the pressure. |
A piece of hot copper at \(100~^\circ \text{C}\) is plunged into a pond at \(30~^\circ \text{C}\). The copper cools down to \(30~^\circ \text{C}\) while the pond being huge stays at its initial temperature. Then:
1. | the copper loses some entropy and the pond stays at the same entropy. |
2. | the copper loses some entropy and the pond gains exactly the same amount of entropy. |
3. | the copper loses entropy and the pond gains more than this amount of entropy. |
4. | both copper and the pond gain in entropy. |
1. | \(C_{L_1}>C_{L_2}~\text{and }U_1<U_2\) |
2. | \(C_{L_2}>C_{L_1}~\text{and }U_1<U_2\) |
3. | \(C_{L_1}<C_{L_2}~\text{and }U_1>U_2\) |
4. | \(C_{L_1}<C_{L_2}~\text{and }U_1<U_2\) |
A thin paper cup filled with water does not catch fire when placed over a flame. This is because:
1. | the water cuts off the oxygen supply to the paper cup |
2. | water is an excellent conductor of heat |
3. | the paper cup does not become appreciably hotter than the water it contains |
4. | the paper is a poor conductor of heat |
