10. Devi heated up some water in a pot as shown below.
mist
water
• electric heater
(a) Explain how the mist was formed above the pot of water. (2)
(b) The mist disappeared after a short time. Explain why. [1]
11. Rahman wanted to find out fi the amount of exposed surface area of a towel
affects the rate of evaporation. Three identical towels, A, B and C, were soaked
ni equal amount of water and then left ni the bedroom ni different ways to dry as
shown below.
-==
towel A towel B towel C
(folded half and held (crumpled and (spread out and held on a
on a rope with pegs) placed on the floor) rope with pegs)
The towels were weighed after two hours. The results are recorded ni the table
below.
Towel Mass of towel at the start (g) | Mass of towel after two hours (g)]
A 90 65
90 80
90 55
(a) State the relationship between the amount of exposed surface area of the
towel and the rate of evaporation. [1]
(b) Rahman was thinking of placing a fan ni front of towel B. Suggest how it
wil affect the time taken for towel B to be completely dry? Explain your
answer. [1]
For questions 21 and 22, refer to the same diagram below.
In the set-up below, blue-coloured water was boiled and gas X travelled up and
passed through the delivery tube and glass tubing.
A cold gel was coated on the glass tubing to keep the tubing cold and water droplets
were collected in the beaker.

21. What was the colour of the water droplets collected ni the beaker?
(1) blue
(2) white
(3) light blue
(4) colourless
22. After 10 minutes, ti was observed that less water was collected ni the beaker.
Which statement best explains this observation?
(1) The cold gel became warmer.
(2) Al the water in the flask evaporated.
(3) The volume of water in the flask decreased.
(4) The water vapour escaped into the surroundings.
23. The table below shows the states of three substances, A, B and C
, at different
temperatures.

Based on the table, which of the following statements si definitely correct?
(1) Substance C has the lowest boiling point.
(2) Substance B has a boiling point of 130 °C.
(3) Substance A has the lowest freezing point.
, Band C are ni a gaseous state at 150 C
(4) Substances A °.
34. (a) State what melting is. [1]
Jen conducted an experiment using two identical blocks of ice. She placed each
block of ice in a beaker and placed them in similar rooms of different
temperatures as shown below.
- beaker
block of ice
Room at 22°C Room at 32°C
Set-up P Set-up Q
She then removed the ice blocks after 10 minutes and measure d the amount of
water collected in each beaker. She recorded her results in the table below.
Set-up Amount of water collected in the beaker (ml)
35
Q 70
(b) Explain why there was more liquid collected in set-up Q than set-up P. [2]
36. Marcus placed a cup of cold water at a room temperature of 35°C.
cold water at 18°C
(a) After 10 minutes, he noticed that the water droplets are formed. Draw on the
above set-up to show where the water droplets would be seen. [1]
(b) Marcus wanted to increase the amount of water droplets formed in the same
given period of time. Suggest one way he could do so. [1]

tipping on its
head

Organism W
Marcus read about an organism W which lives ni the desert. The desert is
very hot ni the day and very cold at night. Organism W relies on water
droplets on its back ot survive. The water droplets wil slide towards its head
for it to drink.
Water droplets only appear on the back of organism Wni the early morning
(c) Explain how these water droplets are formed. (2]
40. Samuel placed his left hand on a board made of material X and his right hand on
a board made of material Y . His left hand felt cooler than his right hand. He then
placed two similar pieces of frozen meat taken from the freezer on the two boards,
as shown ni the diagram. The two boards are of the same size and thickness at
room temperature of 30°C.

(a) A white solid appeared on both pieces of the frozen meat and ti disappeared
after a while. Explain why ti disappeared. [1]
(b) On which board, X or Y, would the white solid disappear faster? Explain your
a n s w e r. (2]
