Unit 5 (Revision)

(1) State the properties of solids, liquids and gases.

Ans-solid- have a definite shape and volume
-liquid- Liquids take the shape of their container while maintaining a
definite volume
- gases - fill the entire container, having neither a fixed shape nor volume.
(2) Describe the arrangement and behaviour of gases and liquids.
Ans- Gas particles are spaced far apart, exhibiting free and rapid movement.
Liquid particles are closely packed, enabling them to move past each other,
resulting in flow and the ability to take the shape of the container
(3) Describe how the behaviour of the particles changes when a substance changes from
liquid state to gas state.
Ans-The particles don’t touch each other and move in all directions.The distances
between the particles become more longer.
(4) List three factors that affect the speed of diffusion.
Ans-temperature
-size and mass of the temperature
-the states of the substances that are diffusing
(5) Explain why diffusion happens more quickly at higher temperature.
Ans-The warmer particles have more energy , so they move faster.
(6) Why diffusion happens more slowly in liquids than in gases?
Ans-This is because particles are closer in liquid ,and there are strong forces between
them.
(7) Explain why diffusion happen quickly in a gas.
Ans-This is because a particle can travel a long distance before it hits another.
(8) Diffusion happens very slowly in solids. Explain why.
Ans-This is because very strong forces hold the particles in position.However,solid
diffusion can happen enough to be useful.
(9) What is meant by the term "density"? Describe the factors that depends on density.
Ans-Density is the mass of a substance in a certain value.The factors depend on
density are the mass of its particles and how closely packed are they
(10) Explain why the solid density is greater than the liquid density.
Ans-This is because the solid particles are packed more closely.
(11) Why the liquid has a greater density than the gas? Explain.
Ans-The particles of a substance in the liquid state are more closely packed than the
particles in the gas state.The liquid has a greater density than the gas.
(12) Explain why ice floats on water.
Ans-Ice has a lower density than liquid water.This explain why ice floats on water.
(13) How does the volume of any shape of sample measure? Explain.
Ans- The volume of any shape is measured by assessing the space it occupies.
(14) When the balloon leaves in a warm room, the balloon gets bigger. Explain why.
Ans-They particles hit each other and the slides of the container more often.
(15) When the balloon leaves in a warm room, the pressure of the balloon increased.
Explain why.
Ans- The faster moving particles are further apart.
(16) When the plastic bottle puts in a freezer, the pressure inside the bottle has decreased.
Why?
Ans-The air in the balloon cools down and particles move more slowly.
(17) When the plastic bottle puts in a freezer, the bottle collapsed. Why?
Ans- The particles hit each other and the inside of the bottle less often.
(18) When a plastic bottle of air puts in hot water, the pressure inside the bottle has
increased.
Why?
Ans-The air particle further apart so the pressure inside the bottle has increased.
(19) Explain why boiling point changes with altitude.
Ans-The higher the altitude,the lower the air pressure.The lower the air pressure, the
lower the altidute.
(20) Scientists collect evidence and make observations to help answer a scientific question.
What else do they do?
Ans-Think creatively to suggest an explanation and check the evidence.
