2(a)Laboratory equipment we use are called apparatus. There are several pieces
of apparatus used for different purposes.
Search for the following apparatus in from the word search puzzle and circle
each apparatus. The name of the apparatus may be found written horizontally,
vertically moving downwards or vertically moving upwards; and can also be
found written diagonally upwards or downwards. (09 marks)

Beaker Test tube Pipette

Funnel Dropper Bunsen burner
Spatula Test tube rack Retort

4
(a)State the use of,
(i). Test tube. ( 01
mark) Holding regents during chemical reaction
Used for heating small volumes of substances.
(ii). Pipette. (01
mark) measuring fixed volumes of substances
(b)Match the following. On the left hand side are pieces of apparatus and on the
left hand side are the names of the apparatus provided. (08 marks)

3.Matter is any thing that occupies space and has weight. Matter exists in
different physical states. A physical state of matter is a distinct form in which
exits. Below are diagrams illustrating the different states of matter.

6
 State S State L State G
(a)Name state of matter,
S-SOLID
L- LIQUID
G-GASEOUS ( 03 marks)
(b) State the differences in properties between,
(i)State of matter S and G. (Use a table)
S G
Particles closely Particles far apart
parked together
Particles are in fixed Particles are free to
positions move
Higher density Lower density
Higher intermolecular Negligible
forces of attraction intermolecular forces
of attraction
Definite shape and Lack definite shape
size and size
( 03 marks)
(ii)state of matter L and G. ( use a table) (02 marks)

L G
Molecules not very far Molecules very far apart
apart

7
Take up shape of the Lack definite shape
container
incompressible compressible
More intermolecular Negligible
force of attraction intermolecular forces of
attraction
Higher density Lower density

(c)Briefly state how,

(i)States of matter S and L are similar. (01 marks)
Higher intermolecular forces of attraction
(ii)States of matter L and G are similar. (01 mark)
Molecules not closely packed; Molecules are free to move
Both lack a definite shape.

8
(d)Name the process of state of matter as given in the table below and state
whether the change heat energy is released or heat energy is absorbed for
each of state name. (06 marks)
Name of Process of State whether heat
Change of state change energy is released or
heat energy is absorbed
Evaporation Heat absorbed
L to G

sublimation Heat released

G to S
Melting Heat absorbed
S to L

4.A group of S.1 students heated a pure sample of substance Q and the
temperature changes recorded at regular time intervals. They plotted the graph
as below.

(a)State what the temperatures on the graph shows. (02 marks)

(i) 15 oC
Melting point
(ii) 110 oC.
Boiling point
(b)Explain

9
(i) what happens during heating of substance Q until 15 oC is reached.
(2½
marks) solid gains heat; ,molecules gain more kinetic energy; intermolecular
forces of attraction weakened; turns into liquid state/and then melts.

(ii) why the temperature remains constant along A1 and B1.

Most of the energy is used during bond breaking (weakening of
intermolecular forces); since of the solid has not converted fully into liquid
state. (1 ½
marks
(c)Name the state of substance Q at point; (03 marks)
(i) A.
Solid-liquid
(ii) C
Liquid-gas
(iii) D.
Gaseous state

5.Use kinetic theory of matter of matter to explain the following observations

10
 For part (a). Increasing of air pressure in tubes of car tyres

For part (b), putting a drop of spirit on skin

(a)The air pressure in the tubes within car tyres increases after a very long
journey drive on a hotter day. (03
marks)
high temperature increases the kinetic energy of colliding molecules; increases
the frequency of collision; pressure inside the tube increases, the tube expands.
(b)When a drop of spirit is put on your skin of the hand, you feel cold as the
drops evaporates. (02
marks) spirit molecules are more volatile, evaporate carrying away heat of
vaporisation; leaves behind molecules of lower kinetic energy; which causes
cooling.
(6)In an experiment to investigate the existence of particles of matter, two S.1
students ,Bestway and Tonny carried out the experiment below, they poured
powdered pollen grain particles on to water in a glass beaker and then passed a

11
beam of light into the beaker. When each one of the students observed through
the microscope; they saw pollen grain particles moving in a zig gag pattern.

(a)State why the pollen grain particles were seen moving in zig zag pattern?
(
01 mark)
Due to collision with invisible water molecules; ever moving in constant
random direction.
(b)Give a reason for your answer in (a). (01
mark)
Water consists of invisible molecules ever moving in constant random direction.
(c)State what the experiment indicated? (01 mark)
Brownian motion.
(c)Supposing Bestway and Tony increased the temperature of water State
what they observed? (01
mar)
poionllen grains moved faster in ziz zag direct
(d)Give a reason for your answer in (c). (01
mark)
12
Increased frequency of collision with invisible water molecules;

Success!
