Q. Consider the following statements:
1.Water microdroplets can carry electric charges.
2.Water microdroplets are capable of engaging in chemical reactions.
3.Water microdroplets can break down crystals like silica and alumina into nanoparticles.
Which of the statements given above are correct?
Answer: D
Notes:
Explanation –
Statements 1, 2 and 3 are correct. Water microdroplets can carry electric charges, which can influence their chemical reactivity and other properties. Water microdroplets can engage in chemical reactions, often at accelerated rates compared to bulk water. This is due to factors such as high electric fields and increased surface area. Recent research has shown that has shown that water microdroplets can break down crystals like silica (SiO2) and alumina (Al2O3) into nanoparticles.
