Section C Structured Questions
1. The following set-up can be used to obtain pure water from sea water.

thermometer
test tube A

delivery tube

sea water test tube B

heat
end of delivery tube
cold water

Pure water collected

(a) When sea water is heated by a Bunsen burner, water will be changed to steam, what
is the name of this process? (1 mark)

(b) When the steam produced is passed through the delivery tube, it is cooled by the
beaker of cold water and changed to liquid in test tube B, what is the name of this
process? (1 mark)

(c) From the thermometer reading, how would you know water collected in test tube B
is pure? (1 mark)

(d) A test can be carried out to show the presence of water. State the test and the
expected result. (2 marks)
(e) After some time, when sea water in test tube A is heated to dryness, pure water
collected in test tube B rises above the end of delivery tube. A student then turns
off the Bunsen burner. It is found that pure water in test tube B is sucked back to
test tube A. The following is the explanation for this event.

The hot air in test tube A cools down when burner is turned off. Air particles
move (faster/slower). Air particles hit the wall of test tube
A _____ (more / less) frequently. The gas pressure in test tube A
(increases / decreases) so that it is (higher / lower)
than the atmospheric pressure. Pure water in test tube B is sucked back to test
tube A.
(4 marks)

2. The figure shows a bimetallic strip.

A
B

(a) The above bimetallic strip is connected to the circuit of an oven to act as a
thermostat. Explain the working principle. (3 marks)

When the oven is turned on, the circuit is (complete/broken) and


electric current passes through it so the bimetallic strip will be
(heated up/cooled down) and (expand/contract). Finally, the
bimetallic strip bends downwards.

(b) ‘A bimetallic strip works by the different bending directions of the two kinds of
metals attached together.’ Do you agree? Explain briefly.
(2 marks)
(c) The table below shows the increase in length of three metals upon heating.
Metal Increase in length/ mm/1000C
0.599
Aluminium

0.229
Platinum

0.585
Tin

Choose the best combination of two metals from the above table for metal A and
metal B used in the bimetallic strip. Explain briefly. (3 marks)

Metal A: Metal B:
