b Density = Mass/Volume = 60/0.024 = 2500kg/m3.

ii Density of gold = 0.76/0.0004 = 1900kg/m3.
b ii Density = Mass/Volume
1900 = 0.0015/0.15*0.12*thickness
So the thickness of the sheet = 0.0015/0.15*0.12*1900 = 4.4*10-5m.
4 measure the mass of the object, use an electronic balance. Make sure
the balance reads zero before you place the object on it. So in this way we measure the mass of the metal bolt.
To find the volume of a regular solid, such as a cube or a cuboid, measure
its dimensions using a millimetre ruler, vernier callipers, or a micrometer whichever is the most appropriate.
We know that density = Mass/Volume
Here volume is given which is 100cm3.
1 a i Liquid into gas.
ii Liquid into solid.
iii Solid into liquid.
b We know that density = Mass/Volume. If the volume decreases then density increases, So the density of water just after the ice has melted increases. So the density of water is greater than ice.
2 a Condensation.
b Vaporisation.
c Melting.
d Solidifying or freezing.
3 a when ice cubes melts solid changes into liquid.
b When water vapor condense on a cold surface then gas changes into liquid form.
4 Using the kinetic theory of matter, liquids and solids are much denser than gases the particles of a substance in its solid state are held next to each other in fixed positions. They vibrate about their fixed positions, so the solid keeps its own shape. The particles of a substance in its liquid state are in contact with each other. They move about at random. So a liquid doesn’t have its own shape, and it can flow.
The particles of a substance in its gas state move about at random much faster than they do in a liquid and solid. They are, on average, much further apart from each other than the particles of a liquid and solid. So the density of a gas is much less than that of a solid or a liquid.
1 evaporation is a phase transition from the liquid phase to vapor (a state of substance below critical temperature and critical pressure) that occurs at temperatures below the boiling temperature at a given pressure.
Evaporation usually occurs on the surface. Evaporation may occur when the partial pressure of vapor of a substance is less than the equilibrium vapor pressure.
Boiling is a phase transition from the liquid phase to gas phase that occurs at or above the boiling temperature.
Boiling, as opposed to evaporation, occurs below the surface.
Boiling occurs when the equilibrium vapour pressure of the substance is greater than or equal to the environmental pressure.

Melting point of X is 790C.
b remain solid until it reached its melting point which is 790C and after it substance remain constant at this temperature until all solid changes into liquid and after this liquid start boiling above that temperature.
3 the melting point of water is lowered if you add salt to the water. This is why salt is added to the grit that’s used for gritting roads in freezing weather – it means roads don’t get icy until they are colder.
4; the particles of a substance in its liquid state are in contact with each other. They move about at random. So a liquid doesn’t have its own shape, and it can flow.At 750C liquid start to freeze and changes into solid so the particles of a substance in its solid state are held next to each other in fixed positions. They vibrate about their fixed positions, so the solid keeps its own shape.
1 A The pressure of a gas on a surface is caused by the particles of the gas repeatedly hitting the surface. When a gas is heated, its particles gain kinetic energy and on average move faster. This causes the pressure of the gas to increase because the particles collide with the container surface more often and with more force.
B When a solid is heated, the particles energy stores increase and they vibrate more. If the solid is heated up enough, the solid melts(or sublimates) because its particles have gained enough energy to break away from the structure.
3 heating a substance changes the internal energy of the substance by increasing the energy of its particles. Because of this, the temperature of the substance increases or its physical state changes (i.e. it melts or boils). When the temperature of a substance increases (or decreases), the total kinetic energy of its particles increases (or decreases). For a given mass of a substance of specific heat capacity c, the energy E needed to change its temperature by ∆Ө without a change of state is given by the specific heat equation ∆E= mc∆Ө.
4 When you put the ice cube in the water, it has a lower temperature and therefore less heat (transfer of “movement”) per gram than liquid water (so ice is like the “slow ball.”) The liquid water molecules, which are moving faster and have higher kinetic energy, give the molecules in the ice some of their kinetic energy when they collide. Remember that solid water is a crystal, and its molecules don’t really move. The transfer of kinetic energy causes molecules to start moving, which disrupts the crystal and turns it into liquid water. So the transfer of heat occurs “during” the phase change. The water becomes cold since it loses (overall) kinetic energy to the ice, the same way the fast-moving ball loses momentum to the slower one.

B The average separation of molecules increases as a gas is heated in a sealed container.
c,the molecules on average hit the container surfaces with more force and more often.
2 if the temperature of the air is increased the smoke particles move about haphazardly and follow unpredictable paths.
Figure
4 shows how the random motion of smoke particles in air happens. Air molecules repeatedly collide at random with each smoke particle. The air molecules must be moving very fast to make this happen, because they are much too small to see, and the smoke particles are much, much bigger than the air molecules. What you see is the random motion of the smoke particles caused by the random impacts that the gas (air) molecules make on each smoke particle.
3 when the gas become too hot its molecules moves faster and colloids with the surface of cylinder because the pressure is too high as we open valve flow of gas from cylinder to outside takes place and then pressure inside the cylinder decreases slowly.
4 a temperature increases slightly because stirring adds energy.
1 the volume of the gas increases and its pressure decreases.

P1V1 = P2V2
20*100 = 100*P2
P2 = 20kPa.
4 If the piston is used to compress the air suddenly in a cylinder the molecules of the gas moves faster and colloid more repeatedly with the walls of the cylinder because pressure increases due to compression and it increases the kinetic energy of the molecules so the temperature of the air in the cylinder increases.

Particle Matter of Matter
When the particle is cooled, it looses
energy and the particles move closer.
Melting Point
It is the temperature at which the ice
melts from solid to liquid without the change
in temperature. For water it is 0 degrees.
Boiling Point
It is the temperature at which the water
boils from liquid to gas without the change
in the temperature. It is 100 degrees for
water.
Freezing Point
It is the temperature at which the water
freeze from liquid to solid to form ice without
the change in temperature.For water it is 0 degrees.
When we heat the ice :-
a) The ice is heated. The temperature increases
to zero degrees. At zero degrees, the melting
point is reached.
b) At the melting point, the ice melts to form water.
At this stage there is no change in the temperature
and if we plot the graph then it will be the flat
section of the graph.
c) After the ice is melted and forms liquid, the liquid
is heated again until it reaches its boiling
point at 100 degrees.
d) At the boiling point, the water boils to form the gas or
water vapor without any change in temperature.
Energy stored by the particle of a substance
KINETIC ENERGY
It is the energy due to the particle’s
individual motion relative to each other.
POTENTIAL ENERGY
It is the energy due to the particle’s
individual position relative to ach other.
Heating or cooling a particle changes its internal energy and
changes the state of the particle.
It is the energy transferred when the substance changes its state without
the change in temperature.
Plot the graph of temperature changes with time
for a given mass of ice let’s say 100 g of ice with
the power supply of 50 W. Note the time
for which the temperature did not change but change
of state take place.
LATENT HEAT OF FUSION
Power= 50 W
Time= 60 minutes= 3600 seconds
E= Power X time
= 3600 X50
LATENT HEAT OF VAPORIZATION
It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature
of 1 Kg of a substance by 1 degrees celcius.
Calculate the total energy required to convert to 750 g of water
at 50 degrees to 120 degrees. Specific Heat capacity
of water = 4200 J/Kg/C and latent heat of vaporization 2,260 KJ/Kg ?
Increasing the temperature
increases the kinetic energy of the molecules
So, the particles collide more and increases
the pressure.
For a fixed amount of gas at a given temperature,
the product of Pressure and Volume is constant.
volume of 20 m3, then how much
volume it will occupies if it is compressred
to 10 KPa.
Make sure you have watched the above videos and are familiar with the key definations before trying these questions. It is also good to time yourself while doing these questions so that you can work on the speed as well.
