Topic 2 Kinetic Particle Theory Answers

The document provides information about the kinetic particle theory as it relates to solids, liquids, and gases. It discusses how the physical state, volume, shape, compressibility, and motion of particles differ between solids, liquids, and gases. Specifically, it notes that solids have a definite volume and shape, liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container, and gases have an indefinite volume and shape. It also describes the processes of melting, boiling, sublimation, and freezing as changes between different physical states.

Paper 1: MCQ

1. B (Solidify = focus on melting point ; only Rubidium and Caesium have melting point
below 50)
2. A (Melting point is below -125 and boiling point is below -54 but above -125)
3. B (Melting point is between 20 to 110; Boiling point is between 110 to 200)
4. D (Both are incompressible, Solids and liquids have fixed volume; and solids have fixed
shape)
5. D (particles vibrate more and move further apart)
6. D (Heat = gain energy = move more and further)
7. C (solid à liquid à gas all requires energy ; gas à liquid à solid all lose energy to
surroundings)
8. C (Below -39 = freeze; below 357 = condense)
9. C (Liquid and solid state is melting point)

Paper 2: Structure Questions

1. Answer:
(a) C and D
(b) Condensation and Freezing (must be match the process above)

(c)
(d) Liquids take the shape of the container, it has a fixed volume.
2. Answer

(c) As a liquid, more X can be stored in a given space than as a gas
3. Answer
(a) (i) liquid
(ii) gas
(iii) Solid
(b) (i) Ethanol has a higher boiling point than carbon dioxide.
(ii) Gold is a solid but ethanol is a gas at 100 degrees Celsius.
(c) At the freezing point, the temperature does not change as the energy lost to the
surroundings is equal to the energy formed from forming the attractive force between
particles. The particles loses kinetic energy and moves closer to one another.

The Kinetic Particle Theory – Worksheet 2 Answer
MCQ

1. B (Both have fixed volumes)


2. B (Closer = more collision)
3. C (Lose energy to surroundings)
4. D (Liquids cannot be compressed easily)
5. B (Paper = solid ; (1) has mass and occupies space ; (2) Low compressibility (3) Definite
volume)
6. A (Particles in solids have lower energy)
7. D (Water = liquid = close together; Dilute sugar = sugar particles are wide apart)
8. B (Melting point or boiling point must fall within the range of 0 to 27)

Paper 2
1. Answer
(a) Answer

(b) The particles will move from sliding one over one another to move in all directions
randomly. The distance between particles will also increase.
2. Answer
When water is placed in the freezer, the particles will start to lose heat and kinetic energy
and starts to move slower. At the freezing point, the temperature does not change as the
energy lost to the surroundings is equal to the heat formed from formation of attractive
force between particles. The particles becomes more orderly arranged and closer together.
Eventually, the water becomes solid state when all particles have lost their energy. The
particles can only vibrate in its fixed position.
3. Answer
(a) Answer

www.ApexEducators.com 4
(b) The particles will move at high speeds in all directions. They will also be far apart
from one another.

4. Answer
(a) Particles are closely arranged to each other, so there are minimal spaces between the
particles for the particles to compress and occupy.
(b) The particles in both substances can vibrate about its fixed position.

The Kinetic Particle Theory – Test Answer
Paper 1
1. D (Lowest density = Gaseous state ; passed boiling point of 410)
2. B (Boiling point is very near 27)
3. D (Solid = vibrate about fixed position)
4. B (Close and disorderly)
5. C (Weak forces of attraction and move in all directions)
6. C (Ice à water = melt (Process 1) ; Water à steam = Boil/Evaporate (Process 2); Steam
à water = condense (Process 3) ; Water à Ice = freeze (Process 4))
7. D (Shape = not fixed ; Volume = fixed)
8. B (After melting = liquid)
9. A (Temperature cooler = Particles closer = Volume decrease = Density increase)
10. A (Liquid vs gas = look at boiling point)

Paper 2
1. Answer:
(a) As the water is heated, the water particles gain kinetic energy. This allows them to
move faster and further apart. As the water temperature reaches 100 degrees, the
particles gain enough energy to break free from one another and can now move in
random, rapid motion.
(b) At 80 At 105

(c) It changes from solid to gas state.
