A.

the molecules of a gas are constantly in a state of motion and the number of collision remains constant

B.

the number of molecule of gas increases with increasing pressure

C.

as the temperature increases, the number of collision made by the gas molecule remains constant

more molecules return to the liquid than the amount that left it

A 500W heater is used to heat 0.6kg of water from 25oC to 100oC in t2 seconds. If another 1000W heater is used to heat 0.2kg of water from 10oC to 100oC in t, seconds, find \(\frac {t_1}{t_2}\)

A.

50

B.

5

C.

5/4

D.

1/5

Correct answer is B

Heat energy = Electrical energy

mc\(\theta\) = power x time

0.6 x c x (100 - 25) = 500 x t1

and, 0.2 x c x (100 - 10)= 100 x t2
\(\frac {t_1}{t_2}\) = 5

A gas has a volume of 100cm3 at 27oC. If it is heated to temperature T until a final volume of 120cm3 is attained, calculate T

A.

33oC

B.

60oC

C.

87oC

D.

114oC

Correct answer is C

\(\frac {V_1}{T_1}\) = \(\frac {V_2}{T_2}\)

\(\frac {100}{27 + 273}\) = \(\frac {120}{T + 273}\)

T = 87oC
