Question 5

Three beakers labelled as A, B and C each containing 25 mL of water were taken. A small amount of $NaOH$ , anhydrous ${CuSO}_{4}$ and $NaCl$ were added to the beakers A, B and C respectively. It was observed that there was an increase in the temperature of the solutions contained in beakers A and B, whereas, in case of beaker C, the temperature of the solution falls. Which one of the following statement(s) is/are correct?
(i) In beakers A and B, an exothermic process has occurred.
(ii) In beakers A and B, an endothermic process has occurred.
(iii) In beaker C exothermic process has occurred.
(iv) In beaker C endothermic process has occurred.

(a) (i) only
(b) (ii) only
(c) (i) and (iv)
(d) (ii) and (iii)

Solution

Option (c) is correct.

As in case of beakers A and B, the increase in temperature indicates that heat is generated, and hence both are exothermic in nature.

While in beaker C, the decrease in temperature indicates that heat is absorbed from water, and hence it is an endothermic process.

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
