QUESTION 3:
80
In an experiment to investigate
Temperature (0C)
the cooling curve of a type of
70
acid, data was collected and
plotted on the graph shown.
60
3.1 Identify each of the
50
following:
3.1.1 Independent variable? (1)
40
3.1.2 Dependent variable? (1) 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
3.1.3 Control variable? (1) Time (minutes)
3.2 What is the melting point of this acid? (1)
3.3 How long from the time of the start of the measurement did it take for all the
(1)
liquid to solidify?
[5]
QUESTION 4:
Given the diagram of small particles with the KEY alongside of what they represent
4.1 Does the diagram represent a pure substance or a mixture? (1)
4.2 Is this a homogenous or heterogeneous mixture?
(1)
[2]

QUESTION 5:
Downloaded from hlayiso.com
Consider a substance like carbon dioxide that can exist in only solid and gas phases.
5.1 Solid CO2 is called dry ice. Why does the mobile ice-cream vendor use dry
ice and not ordinary ice to keep his ice-creams cold? (2)
5.2 What is the name given to the phase change from solid to gas? (1)
5.3 The heating curve of carbon dioxide is given below.
Give the phase of the carbon dioxide at QR AND ST respectively. (2)
[5]
QUESTION 6:
In the laboratory, water can be made to boil at less than 100°C (e.g. at 60°C).
6.1 Define the term boiling point.
(2)
6.2 What is the cause of the water boiling at less than 100°C in the laboratory?
(1)
6.3 At which of the following places will the boiling point be lowest: Port
Elizabeth, Johannesburg, Table Mountain, Mt Everest? (1)
[4]
QUESTION 7:
7.1 Define the term temperature.
(2)
7.2 Explain, in terms of the particle model of matter, why evaporation causes
cooling. (3)

1.1 D✓✓
1.2 C✓✓
1.3 C ✓✓
2. A Muddy water – heterogenous mixture✓
B Air – Homogenous mixture✓
C Distilled water – pure ✓ substance (compound)
3.1.1 Time ✓
3.1.2 Temperature ✓
3.1.3 Amount/mass of substance ✓
3.2 MP = 700C ✓
3.3 10 minutes ✓
4.1 Mixture ✓
4.2 Homogenous ✓ – they’re in the gas phase.
5.1 Dry ice sublimes so no liquid ✓ slopping round.
Water would make the ice-cream soggy ✓.
5.2 Sublimation ✓
5.3 QR – Solid ✓
ST – Gas ✓
6.1 BP is the temperature✓ at which the vapour pressure of a liquid equals the
atmospheric pressure ✓.
6.2 Atmospheric pressure is decreased ✓ thus it boils at a lower temp. i.o.w. the vapour
pressure reaches the same as the atmospheric pressure at a lower temp.
6.3 At high altitude. Mt Everest ✓
7.1 Temperature of a substance is a measure✓ of the average kinetic energy✓ of the
particles making up the substance.
7.2 It takes energy ✓ to evaporate. This energy comes from the liquid particles ✓
remaining behind which are therefore cooler ✓
OR
The fastest✓ moving particles at the surface bump out of the surface (evaporate)✓
and hence the slower moving particles remain behind✓. Since they are slower, they
have less kinetic energy & the liquid is cooler.
