Question
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.
- Name the substances (i) X (ii) Y and (iii) Z.
- What is the process of conversion of X into Y known as ?
- At which temperature X gets converted into Y ?
- What is the process of conversion of X into Z known as ?
- At which temperature X gets converted into Z ?

Solution
- the substances X, Y and Z are water, ice and steam, respectively.
- The process of conversion of X into Y is known as freezing
- At 0°C X is converted to Y.
- Boiling or vaporisation is the name of the process of conversion of X to Z.
- At 100°C X gets converted to Z.

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.
