1. Which of these diagrams shows the particles in a gas and a liquid?

  • A. 'X' shows a gas, 'Y' shows a liquid.
  • B. 'Y' shows a gas, 'X' shows a liquid.
  • C. 'Z' shows a gas, 'X' shows a liquid.
  • D. 'X' shows a gas, 'Z' shows a liquid.

2. Which of these diagrams shows the particles in their hottest and coldest state?

Hottest Coldest
A
Y Z
B
X Y
C
Y X
D
X Z

3. In which of these diagrams are the particles held in place, vibrating about a fixed point?

  • A. Y only
  • B. Z only
  • C. X and Y
  • D. Y and Z

The energy needed to heat up a substance is given by the formula shown here:

 

ΔQ = m c ΔT   

change in thermal energy = mass x specific heat capacity x temperature change

4. This formula should be used when a substance is...

  • A. melting
  • B. boiling
  • C. heated but staying in the same state.
  • D. staying at the same temperature.

5. Water has a specific heat capacity (c) of 4200 J / Kg 0C.

The energy needed to heat 2 kg of water by 5 0C is therefore:

glass of water
  • A. 4200 J
  • B. 8400 J
  • C. 42000 J
  • D. 84000 J
 

6. If I supply 210 kJ of heat to the same 2 kg of water, how much would the temperature increase?

  • A. 25 0C
  • B. 50 0C
  • C. 100 0C
  • D. 250 0C

Q 7-9. These questions are about heating different bars of copper.

Copper has a specific heat capacity of 800 J / Kg 0C.

What are the missing values?

copper cylinder
 

Energy Supplied

Mass (kg) Temperature Increase (0C)
7. 20 10
8. 8000 J 20
9. 400 kJ 5
