Q2.

Any two of:

· Space between particles

· Gas particles are spread out

· Space for particles to move into if compressed

· Particles same size as one given

· Particles touching

· Particles non-uniformly arranged

(2 marks)

(2 marks)

Q3.

Any two of:

· Mirror is now a similar temperature to the steam (gas)

· Therefore particles near mirror do not cool down

· Condensation does not occur so mirror no longer misty

Any three of:

· Shower produces hot air/steam (from hot water)

· Steam (gas) expands to fill the room

· Mirror is a much lower temperature than the steam (gas)

· As particles cool down next to the mirror they lose (kinetic) energy

· Steam (gas) particles become water (liquid) condensation

· This water (steam) caused the mirror to appear misty

Q6.

Any six of the points below. (Maximum 3 per method):

Metal Cube:

· Measure the sides of the cube (using a rule)

· Multiply sides of cube to find the volume (l x w x h or l3)

· Find the mass of the cube using a balance/scales

· Calculate the density but dividing mass by the volume ( – only counts once!

Small Statue:

· Put water into a large measuring cylinder and record the volume

· Submerge the statue and record the volume difference or water displacement

· Find the mass of the statue using a balance/scales

· Calculate the density but dividing mass by the volume (

(6 marks)

Q7* (GCSE Level Problem – to separate the A and A* students, mark this firmly.)

Do not accept equation with a ‘D’ for density
