Question 14

(a) Define boiling point of a liquid.

(b) Describe how water in a round bottom flask could be made to boil without heating it. [diagram not necessary]

(c) State three applications of expansion of metals.

(d) A room with floor measurements 7m x 10 m contains air of mass 250 kg at a temperature of 34°C. The air is cooled until the temperature falls to 24°C. Calculate the: (i) height of the room;

(ii) quantity of energy extracted to cool the room;

(iii) which is higher: the calculated value or the actual energy needed to cool the room? Give a reason for your answer. [ Specific heat capacity of air = 1010 Jkg\(^{-1}\)K\(^{-1}\); density of air = 1.25 kg m\(^{-3}]
