HINT1
In case of ice the water molecules have low energy while in the case of steam the water molecules have high energy. The high energy of water molecules in steam is transformed as heat and may cause burns. On the other hand, in case of ice, the water molecules take energy from the body and thus give a cooling effect.
. The temperature of both boiling water and steam is 100°C, but steam has more energy because of latent heat of vapourisation.(a) The water will cool initially till it reaches 0°C, the freezing point. At this stage the temperature will remain constant till all the water will freeze. After this temperature would fall again.
4 The rate of evaporation increases with an increase of surface area because evaporation is a surface phenomenon. Also, with the increase in air speed, the particles of water vapour will move away with the air, which will increase the rate of evaporation.Conditions that can increase the rate of evaporation of water are (a) an increase of surface area by spreading the shirt (b) an increase in temperature by putting the shirt under the sun (c) increase the wind speed by spreading it under the fan.
.6 (a) Evaporation produces cooling as the particles at the surface of the liquid gain energy from the surroundings and change into vapour thereby producing a cooling effect.
 (b) Air around us cannot hold more than a definite amount of water vapour at a given temperature which is known as humidity. So, if the air is already rich in water vapour, it will not take up more water therefore, rate of evaporation of water will decrease.

1 In case of ice the water molecules have low energy while in the case of steam the water molecules have high energy. The high energy of water molecules in steam is transformed as heat and may cause burns. On the other hand, in case of ice, the water molecules take energy from the body and thus give a cooling effect.
The temperature of both boiling water and steam is 100°C, but steam has more energy because of latent heat of vapourisation

class 9 chemistry revision
MATTER IN OUR SURROUNDINGS
List two processes from which it may be concluded that the particles of a gas move continuously.

Ans: Compressibility and Brownian movement

Q. At what temperature does solid ice and liquid water co-exist together?  

Ans: At 00C, the  phases of water co exist called triple point.

Q. What is common among the three states of matter?

Ans: They all contain molecules.

Q. . Which property of gas is used in supplying oxygen cylinders to hospitals? 

Ans: Compressibility

Q. a substance x was highly compressible and could easily be liquefied. it could also take the shape of the container. Predict  the nature of the substance

Ans: 

Q. can a liquid turn into vapor without heating?

Ans: yes, By the process of evaporation as vaporization of water occur  below the boiling point under atmospheric pressure.

Q. What do you mean by Latent heat of Fusion?

Ans:  the heat required to change 1 kg of a solid substance into liquid state at the melting point of the substance. For example, amount of heat required to melt ice at 0 ° C into water, at 0 ° C will be known as the Latent Heat of Fusion of ice.

Q. What is compressibility? How it is negligible in solids?

Ans: Compressibility is the ability of a substance  to be reduced to its  volume under pressure. Solids are incompressible as their particles are held together. So, we can tell that compressibility is negligible in solids. 

Q. Two cubes of ice are pressed hard between two palms. After releasing the pressure, the cubes join together. Why?

Ans: Pressure is directly proportional to temperature  when we apply pressure, temp. Increases then the ice in contact melts and  it turns into water.  when pressure is removed, the temperature decreases again and  melted ice again freezes .Hence cubes join together.

Q. Explain why ice has lower density than water?

Ans: The mass per unit volume of a substance is called density (density = mass/volume). As the volume of a substance increases, its density decreases.

When water changes into ice, space between particles increases. These spaces are larger as compared to the spaces present between the particles of water. Thus, the volume of ice is become greater than that of water. Hence, the density of ice became lower than that of water. As, a substance with lower density than water can float on water. Therefore, icefloats on water

Food Components
Column II
Product(s) of digestion
CarbohydratesFatty Acids and Glycerol
ProteinsSugar
FatsAmino acids
7. Name the type of carbohydrate that can be digested by ruminants but not by humans. Give the reason also.

Answer

Cellulose is a type of carbohydrate that can be digested by ruminants and not by humans. 
Ruminants have a large sac-like structure called rumen between the oesophagus and the small intestine. The cellulose of the food is digested here by the action of certain bacteria which are not present in humans.

8. Why do we get instant energy from glucose?

Answer

Glucose is simple sugar which is formed when carbohydrate get broken. Also, the carbohydrate get digested into glucose. Since, glucose does not have to be digested and thus acts as an instant source of energy.
