Solution

The correct option is C Water in beaker B is hotter than that in A.
Since the balloon in container B is inflated, we can say that the gas in container B occupies more volume than the gas in container A.
We know that gases expand on heating. This means that at higher temperature, gases occupy more volume.
Hence, we can conclude that the temperature of gas in container B is greater than that of gas in container A.
The temperature of gases in containers is directly dependent on the temperature of water in the beakers. Hence, water in beaker B is hotter than water in beaker A.

Q. A student soaked 5 g of raisins in beaker (A) containing 25 mL of ice-chilled water and another 5 g of raisins in beaker (B) containing 25 mL of tap water at room temperature. After one hour the student observed that:
(1) water absorbed by raisins in beaker (A) was more than that absorbed by raisins of beaker (B).
(2) water absorbed by raisins in beaker (B) was more than that absorbed by raisins of beaker (A).
(3) the amount of water absorbed by the raisins of both beakers (A) and (B) was equal.
(4) no water was absorbed by raisins in either of the beakers (A) and (B).

Q. Each of the three beakers A, B and C contained 50 mL of distilled water. A student placed five raisins in each beaker. The raisins for each beaker weighed the same. The beakers were kept at room temperature. The raisins were removed from beaker A after 10 minutes, from beaker B after 20 minutes and from beaker C after one hour. On calculating the percentage of water absorbed by the raisins, it was found that:
(1) maximum absorption of water by raisins was in beaker C
(2) maximum absorption of water by raisins was in beaker B
(3) minimum absorption of water by raisins was in beaker C
(4) absorption of water was equal in raisins of all the three beakers
