Question 19
In the heat conduction experiment, ice wrapped in wire gauze doesn't melt while water at the top boils. This shows heat doesn't conduct well through ice, so ice is a poor conductor. Option B is wrong (water can conduct, and the experiment doesn't show that). Option C is wrong (water boils at 100°C at standard pressure). Option D is wrong (ice is less dense than water).
The three methods of heat transfer are conduction, convection, and radiation. "Convention" is a misspelling (should be convection, but the option has "convention" which is not a heat transfer method).
Step1: Recall Gay - Lussac's Law (constant volume, \( \frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2} \), \( T \) in Kelvin)
First, convert temperatures to Kelvin. \( T_1 = 30 + 273 = 303\space K \), \( T_2 = 40+ 273 = 313\space K \), \( P_1 = 400\space Pa \)
Step2: Solve for \( P_2 \)
From \( \frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2} \), we get \( P_2=\frac{P_1T_2}{T_1} \)
Substitute values: \( P_2=\frac{400\times313}{303}\approx\frac{125200}{303}\approx413.2\space Pa \)
