Akshay’s friend visited his house in Mumbai and he was surprised to see air
conditioners installed in all of his rooms. His friend advised Akshay to use
water-coolers and save electricity. On this Akshay told, him that the water-
cooler is not at all effective in coastal areas.
(a) Why are water-cooler not effective in coastal areas?
(b) What are the other two factors on which evaporation of water depends?
(c) What value of Akshay’s friend is seen in this act?

1 Sita lived in a village and could, not afford refrigerator in her house. She knew 3 An 3
how to keep water cold and preserve all perishable items in her house. She kept /U
wet cloth surrounding the earthen pot to keep water cool, she also kept
vegetables fresh by keeping them in wet gunny bag and timely sprinkled water
over it.
(a) Why did Sita keep wet cloth surrounding the earthen pot?
(b) Suggest one more method of keeping the house cool in summer.
(c) What value of Sita is reflected in the above case?
2 Shreya commutes in a CNG fitted van to school every day along with many 3 Ap 3
other students. She told the van driver to get the CNG connection certified and p/u
timely checked it for any leakage or loose connection of pipes. She told the
driver to be more careful during summers.
(a) What is CNG?
(b) Why should one be more careful with CNG cylinders during summer?
(c) What value of Shreya is seen in the above act?
3 Adil parked his bicycle on a sunny day in a parking stand of his school campus. 3 Ap 3
When the school got over Adil saw his burst cycle type. Thereafter he kept less p
air in his cycle types and did not inflate them fully.
(a) Why did the type burst?
(b) Why is air compressible?
(c) What value of Adil is reflected in the above act?
4 A student spilled a bottle of ammonia in one corner of the laboratory. Soon the 2 Ap 3
whole laboratory was filled with pungent irritating smell. The students p
immediately opened the windows and doors and switched on the exhaust fans.
After sometime, student got relief. Explain what did actually happen?
Section C
Answers:Section A
2. Answer: (a) Water coolers are not effective in coastal areas due to high rate
of humidity.
(b) The other two factors on which evaporation of water depends are
temperature and surface area.
(c) Akshay’s friend showed the value of concerned citizen, morally responsible
and friendly in nature.
3.
Section B
1.Answer: (a) The wet cloth gave the cooling effect to the pot, as the water in the
cloth evaporated and evaporation causes cooling effect.
(b) By sprinkling some water on the lawn/veranda of the house can keep the house
cool.
(c) Sita showed the value of responsible behaviour.
2.Answer: (a) CNG is Compressed Natural Gas used as fuel.
(b) During summers, the CNG connections and cylinder need to be checked because
the gas expands due to heat and if there would be any leakage then it would cause
fire in the vehicle.
(c) Shreya showed the value of concerned citizen and morally responsible
behaviour.
3.Answer: (a) The tyre burst because the air inside the tyre got heated and therefore
exerted pressure on the walls of the tyre.
(b) Air is compressible because it has large intermolecular space.
(c) Adil showed the value of intelligence, awareness and self responsibility.
4. When a student spilled a bottle of ammonia, the gas is diffused to the laboratory.
· The gas particles spread rapidly and have a large space between them.
· As a result, the gas diffuses very fast with other gases.
· Hence, the smell of ammonia spreads to the whole laboratory.
Section C
1. Answer: (i) Any matter i.e., solid, liquid or gas when experiences an increase in
temperature then they change their state.
Take ice cubes in a beaker or heat them slowly, the temperature increases and the
ice melts to form liquid. Heat this liquid further it will become steam.
(ii) On lowering down the temperature of any matter, show change in their state.
Take the steam that is coming out of a boiling water and allow it to cool down, it
condenses to form water and on further cooling of this water we get ice.
(iii) On applying pressure and reducing temperature we can liquefy gases or change
them into solid.
Example: Take carbon-dioxide gas, reduce its temperature and apply lot of pressure
on it so that it changes into solid carbon dioxide, called diy ice, which is used as
refrigerant for cooling.
If the pressure on it is decreased it directly changes into gas.
In LPG cylinders, the petroleum gas is cooled and with lot of pressure changes it
into liquid state.
While using this LPG, we release the pressure exerted on it and hence it comes out
in the form of gas.
2. Answer: The molecules of water present on the surface of the exposed area
which are in very small fraction, gains the energy from the surrounding. With this
higher kinetic energy they are able to break the force of attraction between them and
hence get converted into vapour state.
This phenomenon of change of a liquid into vapours that takes place at any
temperature below its boiling point is called evaporation.
3.On a hot sunny day why do we feel pleasant sitting under a tree?
Answer: Tree has lot of leaves which constantly show transpiration. Transpiration is
loss of water through small tiny pores of leaves called stomata. When this water
comes on the surface of leaf the water evaporates thereby causing cooling effect.
Therefore we feel pleasant sitting under the tree on a hot sunny day.
