7G Particle Theory: 3 0 Stage D

The document describes a graph showing the temperature changes in a test tube containing crushed ice as it is left in a warm room. It then asks questions about the behavior of water molecules at different stages of the graph: (1) At stage A, the molecules vibrate around fixed points as the ice melts from a solid to a liquid. (2) The temperature stops rising at stage D, when it reaches room temperature, as the molecules move past each other while remaining close together in the liquid state. (3) If heat were applied at stage D, the temperature would increase further as heat energy is transferred to the water molecules.

.....................................................................................................1 mark

(b) Why does the temperature of the water stop rising at 23°C (stage D)?
They move past each other and are close together.
.....................................................................................................1 mark

They move in straight lines, colliding occasionally.

They all move in the same direction at the same speed.

(i) How do the molecules move at stage A? Write A in the correct box above.
1 mark

(ii) How do the molecules move at stage C? Write C in the correct box above.

1 mark
d) Ice from a freezer is put in a glass of water at room temperature. The ice floats in the
water.

(i) What does this show about the density of the ice compared to that of water?

Tick the correct box.

Ice is more dense than water.

Ice and water have the same density.

Ice is less dense than water.

Ice has a density of zero. 1 mark

e) Describe the graph fully from start to finish, state what is happening at each lettered stage and explain

the behavior of the particles. Be specific, quoting times and temperatures where possible.
