Question
Describe simple experiments to prove that liquids have a definite volume
Advertisements
Solution
have a definite volume
Experiment: A liquid in a measuring cylinder can be poured into any container. The volume of liquid in the container is the same as that in the measuring cylinder.
Observation: The volume of liquid in the container, is the same as that in the measuring cylinder. Hence, all liquids have a definite volume.

A strong current of trivalent gaseous boron passed through a silicon crystal decreases the density of the crystal due to part replacement of silicon by boron and due to interstitial vacancies created by missing Si atoms. In one such experiment, one gram of silicon is taken and the boron atoms are found to be 1000 ppm by weight, when the density of the Si crystal decreases by 12%. The percentage of missing vacancies due to silicon, which are filled up by boron atoms will be ____ g. [Given · Atomic wt. Si= 30, B = 11]
