A liquid-in-glass thermometer consists

of a bulb containing a liquid. The liquid
can expand into a very thin capillary
tube.

The liquid in the thermometer is replaced

by another liquid that expands more for
the same temperature rise.
The new thermometer will have
A greater sensitivity and greater range.
B greater sensitivity but less range.
C the same sensitivity and the same
range.
D the same sensitivity but greater range.
3. A liquid is heated. Which statement is
incorrect?
A The molecules expand.
B The molecules gain energy.
C The molecules move further apart.
D The molecules move faster.

5. The diagram shows a liquid-in-glass

thermometer.

2. A person cannot unscrew the lid

of a pot of jam. He finds that the
lid can be unscrewed after it has
been held under hot, running
water for a few seconds.
Why is this?

A The air pressure in the jar falls.

B The glass expands.
C The jam melts.
D The lid expands.
4. Which of the following correctly
compares the forces between the
molecules in steam, water and
ice?
weakest forces
------------------ strongest
forces
A
ice
steam
water
B
ice
water

6. A bimetallic strip made from
brass and iron is used as a
thermostat.

At 0 C, the length of the liquid column is

2.0 cm. At 100 C, the length of the liquid
column is 22.0cm. What is the length of
the liquid column at 40C?
A 6.0cm B 8.0cm C 8.8cm D 10.0cm

When the strip is heated, the brass

expands more than the iron. Which
shape will the strip become?

7. The diagram shows how the atoms in a

substance rearrange themselves during
a change of state. Which change of
state is shown?

8. Very small pollen grains are

suspended in a beaker of water.
A bright light shines from the
side. Small, bright dots of light
are seen through a microscope.
The dots move in rapidly
changing, random directions.
A pollen grains being hit by other
pollen grains
B pollen grains being hit by water
molecules

A gas to liquid
B liquid to gas
C liquid to solid

D solid to liquid

C water molecules being hit by

other water molecules
D water molecules being hit by
pollen grains
