Question 14

Gain/loss in heat

Answer 14

Ke: during heating/cooling, energy transferred to/out of substances -> particles move faster/slower -> ^ in ke/ decrease in ke

Tempt ^/decreases with ^/decrease in average k.e.

PE: potential energy of particles ^/decreases with average separation of particles

Question 15

Change in state

Answer 15

During melting & boiling/ condensation & solidification, energy transferred to/out of substances -> work done against attractive intermolecular forces of attraction betw particles to break intermolecular bonds of molecules -> ave. Separation of particles ^/decreases -> potential energy of particles ^/decreases. However, ave. Ke & tempt remains constant.

Question 16

Capacity of body depends on

Answer 16

1. no. Of particles -> ^, ^ energy can store
2. Strength of intermolecular forces -> ^ strength, ^ energy can store (solids & liquids > gas)(non-metals >metals)

Question 17

Evaporation

Answer 17

1. Evaporation of water from x occurs.
2. Faster particles at surface hv enuf energy to break away from the other liquid particles to escape into air.
3. Particles left behind hv lower spd and ave k.e. Thus tempt decreases
4. Since tempt decreases w lower ave. K.e., tempt difference leads to transfer of energy from surroundings to the liquid

Question 18

Factors that affect evaporation

Answer 18

1. Pressure
2. Humidity
3. Boiling point of liquid
   (^, rate of e decreases)
4. Exposed surface area of liquid
5. Temperature
6. Wind spd
   (^, rate of e increases)

Question 19

Difference betw boiling and evaporation

Answer 19

B needs heat source,E X heat source

B: vaporisation occurs throughout,
E: only @ surface

B: rate of vaporisation faster, E: slower

B: happens only at boiling point, E: below bp above mp

B: liquid tempt constant, E: decreases

B: bubbles formed, E: no bubbles formed

Question 20

Why is water often used as the circulating liquid in central heating systems ^ cooling liquid in car engines?

Answer 20

Water has a v high specific heat capacity -> needs a lot of energy to warm it up. Once warmed, it can store the energy & establish an efficient cooling/heating system

Question 21

Which object has a higher heat capacity? Explain. (answ formula)

Answer 21

Heat capacity of A = but heat capacity of B =. B has a higher heat capacity because it requires a larger amt of thermal energy to raise its tempt by 1K.

Question 22

Explain when specific heat capacity of water is 4.2kJ/kg K

Answer 22

4.2 kJ of thermal energy is required to change 1kg of water by 1K.

Question 23

Explain when specific latent heat of fusion of ice is 334kJ/kg

Answer 23

334kJ of energy is needed to change 1kg of the substance betw the solid and liquid state without a change in tempt

Question 24

Tempt drop for hotter obj = tempt rise for colder obj. Explain your views.

Answer 24

No. Final tempt will be the same but not their change in tempt, heat released by hotter obj will be absorbed by colder obj but change in tempt will be diff if they hv diff heat capacity.

Question 25

Explain why a jet of steam is more dangerous than same mass of boiling water

Answer 25

Water has a higher specific latent heat of vaporisation compared to its specific heat capacity. Huge amt of latent heat of vaporisation is released when steam condenses, can cause harm.

Question 26

Comparison of specific heat capacity of substance

Answer 26

Substance A in _state has a higher specific heat capacity than B OR in _ state of A.
1. For same amount of heating time, rise in tempt is smaller.
OR
2. Gradient of tempt time graph is less steep -> more energy needed to increase 1 tempt per unit time.

Question 27

Heat capacity affecting conductivity of heat of obj

Answer 27

Since heat capacity of _ is smaller, smaller amt of energy has to be removed from _ than _ to cool the drinks to the same tempt, _is preferred.

Question 28

What is the purpose of the control apparatus in a joulemeter melting ice experiment.

Answer 28

To determine the actual mass of water melted by heater alone by finding out difference in mass of water collected in 2 beakers.

Calculated value of specific latent heat of fusion lf will be smaller or greater without control experiment, as mass of melted water is taken to be higher value or smaller value/ some heat energy needed to increase tempt of ice to melting point/lost to surroundings, hence calculated lf will be lower or greater.

Question 29

Explain why the ice used in experiment should be crushed and melting.

Answer 29

Crushed ice increase exposed surface area, ensuring good contact between crushed ice and heater.
Melting ice confirms the temperature of ice to be at 0d.c.

Question 30

Liquid -> solid: bonds r formed betw molecules -> energy released to surroundings -> tempt decreases

Question 32

Explain how condensation of steam causes internal energy of _ to rise and state effect on molecules of _

Answer 32

Steam condenses -> some of energy in internal store transferred to _ by conduction -> _ gains energy in internal store -> molecules move faster n more frequent
