KSEEB 9th Science Solutions Question 7.
Give reasons:
(a) A gas fills completely the vessel in which it is kept.
(b) A gas exerts pressure on the walls of the container.
(c) A wooden table should be called a solid.
(d) We can easily move our hand in air but to do the same through a solid block of wood we need a karate expert.
Answers:
(a) Because gas occupies space.
(b) Because in the gaseous state, the particles move about randomly at high speed. Due to this random movement, the particles hit each other and also the walls of the container. The pressure exerted by the gas is because of this force exerted by gas particles per unit area on the walls of the container.
(c) Because in the wooden table particles are closely packed and have less space in between particles.
(d) Air is a gas, it has more space in between particles. But solid block of wood is rigid, hence it is difficult to move our hands through it.

(b) Water changes to water vapour at 100°C.

KSEEB Solutions Science Class 9 Question 11.
For any substance, why does the temperature remain constant during the change of state?
Answer:
Because with the increase of temperature, more number of particles get enough kinetic energy to go into the vapour state. Hence temperature remains constant during the change of state.

Suggest a method to liquefy atmospheric gases.
Answer:
L.P.G. which is used for cooking. In the cylinder petrol is in liquid form. When it is lighted it becomes gas.

KSEEB Solutions For 9th Science Question 13.
Why does a desert cooler cool better on a hot dry day?
Answer:
The particles of liquid in desert cooler absorb energy from the surrounding to regain the energy lost during evaporation. In summer this is fast. Hence desert cooler cool better in a hot dry day.

9th Standard Kannada Medium Science Guide Question 14.
How does the water kept in an earthen pot (matka) become cool during summer?
Answer:
Water looses its temperature through small pores present in the pot. Hence in an earthen pot (matka) become cool during summer.

KSEEB Solutions 9th Science Question 15.
Why does our palm feel cold when we put some acetone or petrol or perfume on it?
Answer:
Because acetone or petrol or perfume looses their temperature and gain energy by using from surrounding air.
