Chemistry Question on Liquid state
The property utilized in the manufacture of lead shots is
A
specific weight of liquid lead
B
compressibility of liquid lead
C
specific gravity of liquid lead
D
surface tension of liquid lead
Answer
surface tension of liquid lead
Explanation
Solution
The property utilized in the manufacture of lead shots is surface tension of liquid lead. In this process, molten lead is made to pass through a sieve from a high tower and allowed to fall in water. The molten lead particles, while descending, assume a spherical shape and solidify in this form, before falling into water.
