You tie the piece of cloth to the mouth of the beaker, securing it with the threads. Measure the temperature at regular intervals. Then, take another such cloth and dampen it using water from the tap. At the same intervals as in the previous experiment, take the thermometer reading. Compare the two experiments and rate of heat loss. The beaker with the damp cloth will have a faster heat loss, as the moisture in it absorbs heat from the water and loses it to the surrounding as latent heat of evaporation, same as sweating does

Thankyou and can u also explain me the topic surface area to volume ratio pleasee

Surface area increases when volume decreases. See, if you have one big potato and want to colour it by placing it in solution of dye, it will take alot of time for the potato to completely soak the dye, and probably, it'll still be uncoloured from the centre. But if you cut the same potato into small pieces, the time for the absorption of the dye decreases. This phenomena applies in the root hair cells, and villi in the intestine, where the finger like extensions increase surface area to volume ratio so that absorption of substances is maximised.

any body tell me when exosmosis occurs in plant..???
When water leaves out of a plant cell, it is called exosmosis (tip to remember:exit from ex) when the plant cells are kept in a region of low water potential the water in them leaves by osmosis called exosmosis. The cell becomes flaccid. We say that it has plasmolysed.

There is question in 5070/41/ON12, Q9 The student titrates R, an aqueous solution containing 7g/dm3 of organic acid with S an aqueous solution containing 0.100mol/dm3 of NaOH. Part E says calculate number of moles of acid in 1.00 dm3 of R. Plz tell me how to solve it. Its urgent plz

1 dm3 contain 7g of organic acid. If u know this then you will simpy calculate by the Mole formulae.
