Multiple choice: On the line provided, write the letter that corresponds to the correct answer. Each item is
worth 1 mark. (10 marks)

______ A differentially permeable membrane could be defined as:

A thin layer (or sheet) that selectively discriminates particles passing through.
A thin layer (or sheet) that filters only water
A thin layer (or sheet) that does not allow air to go in
A thin layer (or sheet) that allows only big particles to move between solutions

______ Particles in a gas:

Are packed closely together

Have large spaces between them
Have strong attraction between particles
Are not capable of movement

______ If a grain of potassium permanganate is dropped into a beaker with water

It will react violently with water

The color of the water will remain clear
It would sink to the bottom without causing any change
It will begin to spread and all the water will look pink

______ Scientists find the particulate theory of matter very useful in all of the scenarios, EXCEPT:

Explain how we are able to smell food

Explain why certain vegetables become crisper when soaked in water
Explain nuclear reactions
Explain the difference in density between solids, liquids and gases

______ Using the level of energy of the particles, from lowest to highest, the states of matter are:

Plasma, Liquid, solid and gas, and Bose-Einstein condensate

Plasma, solid, liquid, Bose-Einstein condensate and gas
Bose-Einstein condensate, solid, liquid, gas and plasma
Bose-Einstein condensate, gas, liquid, solid, plasma

______ When one sweats, our bodies feel cooler because:

The water molecules that evaporates absorb the heat from our bodies and gain energy to fly off
Water is refreshing at all times
Because our sweat glands release sweat
The water molecules that evaporate are cooler

______ A common practical use of osmosis is:

Getting rid of ticks

Preserving fruits and vegetables
Making potatoes bigger
Compress air in air tanks

______ An average sized SCUBA diving tank holds about 2250 litres of compressed air. This shows that
gases are:

Have large amount of energy that can be placed inside a tank

Gas particles are super small
Can be readily compacted
Gases have a high density

______ Using one of the components of the particulate theory of matter, in solids the forces of attraction
(between particles) could be said to be:

Relatively weak compared to liquids

Relatively weak compared to gases
Relatively strong compared to liquids
Relatively similar compared to liquids and gases

______ A physical change is:

A change where the substance changes state but the composition remains the same
A change where the substance changes composition but the state remains the same
A change where the substance changes state and the composition
A change synonymous to chemical change

True and False: Write true if the statement is true or false if the statement is false. Each item on this section is
worth 1 mark. (5 marks)

1.) ____________ If a balloon is placed in a freezer, the balloon will become smaller because the temperature is
lowered, thus the kinetic energy is reduced.

2.) ____________ When water is boiled, water molecules start moving very slow, thus they condense into water
vapor.

3.) ____________ If salt is added to a slug, the slug dehydrates because the water moves from within to the
outside because of the process of osmosis.

4.) ____________ Brownian motion is a piece of evidence that showed that particles moved in constant random
motion.

5.) ____________ Diffusion has been observed to be extremely important because it allows material to be
transported from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration.

Structured questions: Answer the following questions to the best of your abilities.

In order to investigate the particulate nature of matter, Mr. Kelvin set up the apparatus shown in Figure 1
below and left it for 1 hour.

According to Mr. Kelvin, the water

in the beaker is 100% pure, hence
the word distilled water.

On the other hand, the sucrose

solution within the visking tube
contains 12% sucrose.

To clarify, the visking tube is a type

of material that looks like a
“shilling-ideal” bag but the
difference is that it contains
microscopic holes (pores).

In your professional opinion, describe what you would expect to have happened to the level of the sucrose
solution in the capillary tube after 1 hour. (2 marks)
