120s - Q11
When heat is supplied to a body,
the body undergoes a change of state.
the particles in the body move or vibrate faster.
there is an increase in the internal energy of the body.
there is always an increase in the temperature of the body.
120s - Q12
The increase in temperature when heat is supplied to a body can be explained by
a decrease in the average speeds of the particles in the body.
an increase in the average spacing of the particles in the body.
an increase in the average kinetic energy of the particles in the body.
a decrease in the internal energy of the particles in the body
120s - Q13
A large piece of pure ice at 0°C is left under the hot Sun. After a while, some of the ice melts away. What is the likely temperature of the remaining ice?
Slightly less than 0°C
0°C
Slightly greater than 0°C
Approximately room temperature
120s - Q14
Some alcohol and water were spilled on a table and a short while later, the alcohol ‘disappeared’ from the table, but not the water. Why is this so?
Alcohol molecules move faster than water molecules at the same temperature.
Additional energy is required to push back the air molecules in the atmosphere when water changes into vapour, but this is not the case for alcohol.
The amount of energy needed to break the bonds between the particles is smaller for water than for alcohol.
Water has a higher boiling point than alcohol, and therefore more heat is needed for water to evaporate.
120s - Q15
The rate of evaporation is affected by several factors. Which statement describes one of the factors correctly?
Lower atmospheric pressure increases the rate of evaporation.
Higher humidity increases the rate of evaporation.
A smaller exposed surface area increases the rate of evaporation.
A lower surrounding temperature increases the rate of evaporation.
