The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for an instrument that demonstrates the pull due to the vaporization of water in plants. This phenomenon is related to transpiration, where water vapor is lost from the plant, creating a negative pressure that pulls more water upward from the roots. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The options provided are: - Potometer - Ethmometer - Oxanometer - Anemometer 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Potometer**: This instrument measures the rate of water uptake by a plant but does not specifically demonstrate the pull due to vaporization. - **Ethmometer (or Evaporimeter)**: This device measures the rate of evaporation of water from a wet surface to the atmosphere. It is directly related to the concept of vaporization and the resulting pull in plants. - **Oxanometer**: This instrument measures the growth rate of plants, which is not directly related to vaporization. - **Anemometer**: This device measures wind speed and is not related to water vaporization in plants. 4. **Conclusion**: Among the options, the **Ethmometer** is the correct instrument that can demonstrate the pull due to the vaporization of water. ### Final Answer: The instrument that can be used to demonstrate the pull due to vaporization of water is the **Ethmometer**. ---

Which experiment is generally used to demonstrate the anomalous expansion of water.

1 mole of H_(2)O is vaporised at 100^(@)C and 1 atm pressure. If the latent heat of vaporisation of water is x J/g, then Delta S in terms of J/mole K is given by

The spouting can is something used to demonstrate the variation fo pressure with depth. When the corks are removed from the tubes in the side of the can, water flows out with a speed that depends on the depth. In a certain can, three tubes T_(1),T_(2) and T_(3) are set at equal distance 'a' above the base of the can. When water contained in this can is allowed to came out of hte tubes, the distance on the horizontal surface are measured as (x_1),(x_2) and (x_3) . 1. speed of efflux is
