Chapter#8.
Temperature :
The larger is temperature of liquids, the faster is evaporation. In summer, wet clothes dry up move quickly than
in winter.
Surface Area :
The larger area of surface of liquid, the greater is change for the fast moving molecules to escape. So,
evaporation becomes rapid.
Wind :
The Wind blowing over the surface of liquid sweeps out of the vapours. This increases the chance for other
molecules of liquid to escape. Hence, evaporation increases.
Nature of Liquid :
It is experimentally confirmed that rate of evaporation is faster in case of spirit as compared with water. So,
evaporation depends on nature of liquid.
∆L ∝ L∘
∆L∝ ∆T

So, ∆L ∝ L∘∆T
∆L = α L∘∆T where, ∆L =L - L∘
L - L∘ = α L∘∆T
L = α L∘∆T + L∘
L = L∘ ( α ∆T + 1 )
Or. α = L - L∘
L∘∆T
V∘ = changed volume
V - V∘ = ∆V = change in volume
T = changed temperature
T∘ = original temperature
∆T = change in temperature
It is experimentally observed that change in volume is directly proportional to original volume and change in
temperature.
∆V ∝ V∘
∆V ∝ ∆T
∆V ∝ V∘ ∆T
So, ∆V = V∘ β ∆T
Where, β is called coefficient of volume thermal expansion.
β= ∆V
V∘ ∆T
It is defined as : “ Fractional change in volume per kelvin change of temperature is called coefficient of
volume expansion.”

GIVE SHORT ANSWERS OF THE FOLLOWING :
Q1. Differentiate between heat and temperature.
Temperature : It is the degree of hotness or coldness of a body.
Heat : It is the form of energy that is transferred from one body to another body in the thermal
contact with each other.
4. What is thermometer?
Answer : A device that is used to measure the temperature of a body is called thermometer.
5. Write down properties which thermometric liquid should have.
Answer :
It should be visible.
It should have uniform thermal expansion.
It should have low freezing point.
It should have high boiling point.
It should not wet glass.
It should be a good conductor of heat.
It should have small specific heat capacity.
