- June 2024, Paper 1, Q14 (1 mark): A textbook gives the description of a thermal process as ‘more-energetic molecules escape from the surface of a liquid which causes the liquid to cool’. Which p
- June 2024, Paper 2, Q12 (1 mark): During evaporation of a liquid, the most energetic particles escape. The temperature of the remaining liquid changes. Which row identifies where these particles
- June 2024, Paper 2, Q13 (1 mark): Wet clothes are put out on a line to allow the water in the clothes to evaporate. Which type of weather would cause the water to evaporate most quickly? A a col
- June 2024, Paper 4, Q3(b)(ii) (2 marks): Initially, there is 0.34 kg of water in the beaker. The specific heat capacity of water is 4200 J / (kg °C). Calculate the energy transferred from this water as
- June 2024, Paper 4, Q3(b)(iv) (2 marks): State what happens to the internal energy of the water as the temperature of the water decreases. Describe the change in terms of the energy of the particles. [
- Specimen, Paper 1, Q15 (1 mark): A glass bottle has a metal cap. The cap fits very tightly and is difficult to remove. The cap and the neck of the bottle are lowered into a bowl of hot water. T
