• 5.    Two identical tubes A and B held horizontally contain air and water respectively .A small quantity of coloured gas is introduced at one end of A while a small quantity of coloured water is introduced at one end of B.State with reason the tube in which the colour will reach the other end faster.

• 6.    Distinguish between solid and liquid states of matter in terms of intermolecular forces.
  2m 23s

• 7.    Brownian motion of smoke particles can be studied by using the apparatus shown in figure 9.To observe the motion, some smoke is enclosed in the smoke cell and then observe through the microscope. a).Explain the role of the smoke particles, lens and microscope in the experiment. b).State and explain the nature of the motion of the smoke particles. c).State what will be observed about the motion o

• 8.    Explain the difference between a liquid and a gas in terms of intermolecular distances and forces.

• 9.    Two identical beakers A and B containing equal volumes of water are placed on a bench. The water in A is cold while in B it is warm. Identical pieces of potassium permanganate are placed gently at the bottom of each beaker inside the water .It is observed that the spread of color in B is faster than in A. Explain this observation.

• 10.    State the reason why it is easier to separate water into drops than to separate a solid into smaller pieces.

• 11.    A bottle containing a smelling gas is opened at the front bench of a classroom. State reason why the gas is detected throughout the room.
