1. Give reasons for the following observation:
The smell of hot sizzling food reaches you several meters way, but to get the smell from
cold food you have to go close.
2. The mass per unit volume of substance is called density.
(density = mass/volume).
Arrange the following in order of increasing density – air, exhaust from chimneys,
honey, water, chalk, cotton and iron.
.3. Liquids generally have lower density as compared to solids. But you must have
observed that ice floats on water. Find out why.
