Downloaded from hlayiso.com PHYSICAL SCIENCES GRADE 10 7 (Paper 2) QUESTION 3 One night an explosion in a learner’s house awakened the family. To his mother’s surprise, the cause of the explosion was inside the freezer. When they opened it, it was full of broken glass and chunks of ice. The learner admitted that he had wanted to do his own little science experiment to see if water can really turn into ice, but he had used his mother’s jam bottles that are made of glass to freeze the water. To separate the glass from the ice chunks, the learner’s mother threw all the pieces into a pot and put it on the stove. The learner thought this would be the perfect opportunity to see how long the ice would take to melt. Look at the following graph and answer the questions that follow. 3.1 Write down the aim of the experiment that the learner conducted with his mother. (2) 3.2 Match the following phases/processes with the stages indicated on the above graph. AB BC CD DE EF 3.2.1 evaporation 3.2.2 melting 3.2.3 solid (3) 3.3 Referring to the increase in temperature, intermolecular forces and average kinetic energy between molecules, explain what is happening between parts: 3.3.1 A and B (3) 3.3.2 E and F (3) 3.4 Give THREE characteristics of any ONE of the phases (gas, liquid, solid).
