Class 11th| Chemistry Viva-Voce Questions Answers.
Q1. Define boiling point of a liquid ?
Ans. The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapour pressure is equal to the atmospheric pressure and the liquid starts boiling.
Q2. What is the importance of boiling point?
Ans. Every pure liquid has a fixed boiling point . Impurities raise the boiling point of a liquid. Therefore from boiling point determination one can find out whether a substance is pure or not.
Q3. Why should the open-end of the capillary be kept above the liquid level?
Ans. Otherwise liquid will enter into the capillary tube and the substances will dissolve.
Q4. Can the same organic liquid boil at different temperatures?
Ans. Yes, because the boiling point of liquid varies with the external pressure.
Q5.If a small amount of non-volatile is added to a pure liquid ,would it boil as its boiling point?
Ans.No, the boiling point will be slightly higher.
Q6. What is the effect of pressure on boiling point?
Ans. The boiling point decreases with decrease in pressure.
Q7. What is the approximate temperature at which the water boils in a pressure cooker?
Ans. The water boils at about 120°to 125° in a pressure cooker.
Q8. Why is pumice stone added in the liquid while determining its boiling point?
Ans. Pumice stone is used to avoid bumping .
Q9. Can HCL or HNO³ be used of H²SO⁴?
Ans. No, HCL and HNO³ have low boiling points. Moreover, HNO³ gives brown fumes when heated.
Q10.Why does a liquid boil?
Ans. When we heat a liquid, the kinetic energy of molecules increases and its vapour pressure increases. When the vapour pressure of liquid becomes equal to the atmosphere pressure , becomes liquid starts boiling.
