उत्तर
The aroma of hot, sizzling food reaches us very easily even when we are far away from it, but the aroma of cold food reaches us only when we are near it because the rate of diffusion of a hot gas is faster than cold gas. When the gas is hot, the particles have greater kinetic energy and they move faster; therefore, they have a higher rate of diffusion.

State two characteristic properties of a gas.
A student placed a gas jar containing air in the upside down position over a gas jar full of red-brown bromine vapours. He observed that the red-brown colour spread upwards into the jar containing air. Based on this observation, the student concluded that it is only the bromine vapour which moves up and diffuses into air in the upper jar, the air from the upper jar does not move down by diffusion into the lower jar containing bromine vapours. Do you agree with this conclusion of the student? Give reason for your answer.
The substance X normally exists in a physical state which can flow easily but does not fill its vessel completely. It also turns anhydrous copper sulphate blue. When substance X is cooled excessively, it changes into a substance Y which has a fixed shape as well as a fixed volume. If, however, the substance X is heated strongly, it changes into a substance Z which has neither a fixed shape nor a fixed volume.
