Question 7: Ruth did an experiment to see how much of three solids, P, Q and R, will dissolve in water at different temperatures. She plotted her results on graph paper as shown below.

Use the graph to answer the questions below. 1. At 30C how many grams of solid R dissolved in water? 2. At 60C which solid dissolved the most in water? Give the letter. 3. Which two solids were equally soluble at 25C? Give the letters.

Question 8: Tea bags are made in different shapes.

Part one: Some pupils want to find out which shape of tea bag lets tea dissolve most quickly. They make two plans for their investigation as shown below.

1. How is the second plan better than the first plan? 2. Why should they take care when they add hot water at 65C to the tea bags? Part two: Ben and Vicky drew a cross on some paper. They put each beaker, in turn, over the cross. They poured hot water into the beaker, dropped in the tea bag and watched the water change colour.

To see which shape of tea bag let the tea dissolve the quickest, they measured the time until the liquid was too dark for them to see the cross. 1. How did the cross help to make their test more accurate? They recorded their measurements in the table below.

3. Give the three shapes of tea bags in the order in which the tea dissolved. Use the table above to help you Quickest ___________________ ____________________ ____________________ Slowest

Question 9: The drawing below shows the part of a torch

1. Paul closed the switch. Why did this turn on the torch? 2. The following diagram shows symbols for a battery, a bulb and a switch. Connect the symbols to show how these components are put in the torch.

3. The drawings below show two other torches. In both torches, the bulbs will not light even when Paul closes the switches.
