1 A cup contains hot liquid. Some of the liquid evaporates. What happens to the mass and what happens to the weight of the liquid in the cup?
A
B
C
D
Which statement about evaporation is correct?
Evaporation causes the temperature of the remaining liquid to decrease.
Evaporation does not occur from a cold liquid near its freezing point.
Evaporation does not occur from a dense liquid, such as mercury.
Evaporation occurs from all parts of a liquid.
A gas is stored in a sealed container of constant volume. The temperature of the gas increases. This causes the pressure of the gas to increase.
What happens to the gas molecules during this pressure increase?
The average kinetic energy of the molecules increases.
The average separation of the molecules decreases.
The average separation of the molecules increases.
The volume of each molecule increases.
A
B
C
D
What causes the random, zig-zag movement (Brownian motion) of smoke particles suspended in air?
air molecules colliding with smoke particles
convection currents as the hot smoke rises
smoke particles colliding with each other
smoke particles reacting with oxygen molecules in the air

The diagram shows a vacuum flask used to keep liquid hot.
How does thermal energy pass through the vacuum?
conduction only
convection only
radiation
conduction and convection
substance loses thermal energy (heat) to the surroundings at a steady rate. The graph shows how the temperature of the substance changes with time.
What could the portion PQ of the graph represent?
A gas condensing
gas cooling
liquid cooling
liquid solidifying
The pressure of a fixed mass of gas in a cylinder is measured. The temperature of the gas in the cylinder is then slowly increased. The volume of the cylinder does not change. Which graph shows the pressure of the gas during this process?
