Firstly, the chemical equation between the calcium metal and water will be:  

Ca(s) + 2 H₂O(l) → Ca(OH)₂(aq) + H₂(g)  

We can see from the equation the bubbles of hydrogen gas which are formed during the reaction stick to the surface of the metal and hence calcium floats on water.  

The other metal that will float on the water during the reaction is magnesium which have the same chemical behavior like calcium, we can illustrate that by the chemical equation:

Mg(s) + 2 H₂O(l) → Mg(OH)₂(aq) + H₂(g)

Why is the energy supplied by the cooker greater than that calculated ?
TEA [102]

Answer:

Explanation:

Q1.

(a) 46 200

accept 46 000

allow 1 mark for correct substitution

ie 0.5 × 4200 × 22 provided no subsequent step

2

(b) Energy is used to heat the kettle.

[3]

Q2.

(a) (approximate same size particles as each other and as liquid and gas) touching

do not accept particles that overlap

regular arrangement (filling the square)

(b) condensing

(c) solid

(d) physical

(e) particles have more kinetic energy

particles move faster

(f) mass of the liquid

specific latent heat of evaporation

(g) 2 × 4 200 × 801

672 000 (J)

an answer of 672 000 (J) scores 2 marks

[11]

Q3.

(a) x-axis labelled and suitable scale

Page 12 of 13

points plotted correctly

allow 5 correctly plotted for 2 marks, 3−4

correctly plotted for 1 mark

allow ± ½ square

2

line of best fit

(b)

allow ecf from line of best fit in part (a)

0.075 (°C/s)

an answer of 0.075 (°C/s) scores 2 marks

(c) Δθ = 11.5 (°C)

a calculation using an incorrect temperature

scores max 3 marks

ΔE = 1.50 × 900 × 11.5

ΔE = 15 525 (J)

ΔE = 15.525 (kJ)

an answer of 15.525 (kJ) or 15.53 (kJ) or 15.5

(kJ) scores 4 marks

an answer of 15 525 (kJ) scores 3 marks

[10]

Q4.

(a) 80 °C

ΔE = 0.5 × 3400 × 80

ΔE = 136 000 (J)

an answer of 136 000 (J) scores 3 marks

(b) energy is dissipated into the surroundings

allow any correct description of wasted energy

(c) put a lid on the pan

allow any sensible practical suggestion

eg add salt to the water

Page 13 of 13

(d) efficiency = 300/500

efficiency = 0.6

an answer of 0.6 or 60% scores 2 marks

allow efficiency = 60%

an answer of 0.6 with a unit scores 1 mark

an answer of 60 without a unit scores 1 mark

Write a chemical equation of Dr. Jeff’s demonstration using a battery to light steel wool on fire. The battery is used to allow
Elis [28]

Answer:

2Fe(s) + 3O2(g) --------> 2FeO3(s)

Explanation:

According to the question, a  battery was used  to light the steel wool by bringing the terminals very close together. When  the battery came into contact with the steel wool, current was sent out through the thin wire.  This caused the iron to heat up quite well.

Iron reacts with oxygen under these conditions as follows;

2Fe(s) + 3O2(g) --------> 2FeO3(s)

This is the chemical reaction that occurs when the steel wool is set on fire.

The Gateway Arch in St. Louis, MO is approximately 630 ft tall. How many U.S. dimes would be in a stack of the same
miskamm [114]

Answer:

142240

Explanation:

We are told in the question:

Height of Gateway Arch in St. Louis, MO = 630ft

We are asked, how many U.S. dimes would be in a stack of the same

height when 1 dime is 1.35 mm thick.

Step 1

Convert height in ft to mm

1 ft = 304.8 mm

630ft =

Cross Multiply

630ft × 304.8mm/1ft

= 192024 mm.

Step 2

To find how many US dimes would be in a stack of the same height

= Total thickness/ Thickness of 1 US dime

= 192024 mm/1.35mm

= 142240

Therefore, the number of dimes that would be in a stack of the same

height is 142240
