Q

To melt a solid, we supply thermal energy as heat. How does this melt the solid? (talk about energy in particles)

A

Thermal energy is supplied to a solid, increasing the kinetic energy in the particles. This means that particles gain enough kinetic energy to stop vibrating around a fixed point, and instead become free to move.

How do you measure an irregular object’s volume?

A

You can displace water

35
Q

There are two names for this0

What unique piece of apparatus is used to perform a displacement of water experiment?

A

Eureka beaker/displacement can

36
Q

Describe the methods you should use to measure the densities of 2 objects - a metal cube and a statue of a dog.

A
  1. Place the metal cube on a balance to record its mass in grams
  2. Repeat for the statue
  3. Measure the 3 side lengths of the cube in centimetres with a ruler, and times the values together to obtain the volume of the cube
  4. The statue is an irregular object, so you must use a displacement can to measure its volume. Fill the displacement can up with water up to the level of the spout. It should be just starting to drip from the spout. Wait until it stops dripping.
  5. Hold a beaker under the spout to collect any water, and place the statue in the water.
  6. Wait until the spout stops dripping, and measure the volume of water that is in the beaker in cm³. The volume of the water is equal to the volume of the statue.
  7. Now you have the volume and mass of the statue and metal cube. Use the equation density = mass/volume to calculate the density of both objects.
