@Heat is another form of:
Energy
Work
Power
@A liquid is heated until its molecules move very much faster, and the distance between them becomes very large. This process could describe:
Boiling
Melting
Condensation
@Which of the following has the highest temperature?
Filament of a light bulb
A swimming pool full of warm water
The water in a boiling kettle
@The heat needed to change a solid to a liquid is called:
Latent heat
Energy
Fusion
@A burn from steam is worse than a burn from boiling water because:
The temperature of steam can be more than 100°C
Steam is a gas
Steam molecules move more slowly
@When a puddle of water slowly disappears over a period of time is called:
Evaporation
Sublimation
Diffusion
@A container has a liquid in it. Which one of the following will NOT speed up evaporation?
Having more liquid in the container
Heating the liquid
Blowing across the liquid
@When a liquid evaporates, what other effect might you notice?
The liquid left behind is cooler
The liquid left behind expands
The liquid left behind is not changed in any way
@Liquids cool after evaporation because:
only slower moelcules with less energy are left behind
all the molecules left behind speed up
the molecules left behind get smaller
@An electric motor wastes 20% of the energy supplied by producing heat. How efficient is the motor?
80%
120%
20%
@Adding salt to boiling water does what to its boiling point?
Raises it
Lowers it a little
Lowers it a lot
@On a high mountain water boils at a temperature:
below 100°C
above 100°C
at 212°C
@In winter, water pipes sometimes burst because:
Ice expands when it forms
Ice is cold
The substance the pipes are made of shrinks and cracks
@Ice is taken from a fridge and heated. Its temperature is constantly checked. What do the readings show?
The temperature remains around 0°C until all the ice is melted, and then rises
The temperature immediately, and steadily, rises
The temperature quickly rises to 4°C and then remains constant until all the ice has melted
@A fridge works on the principle of:
Evaporation
Convection
Sublimation
@What effect does pressure have on the boiling point of a liquid?
Increasing pressure causes it to rise
None at all
Lowering the pressure raises the boiling point
