Q1 a. i. Explain the following terms

α. Suspension: This is a mixture of finely divided solid and a liquid in which the solid will not
dissolve completely.

β. Colloid: This is a type of suspension where the suspended particles are very small but bigger
than molecules of the solvent and a permanently suspended in the liquid

¥. Saturated solution: it is a solution that cannot dissolve any more of the solute at a particular
temperature.

Õ. Unsaturated solution : it is a solution that can dissolve more solute at a particular

temperature (2 marks)

ii.

Colloid Suspension Solution

smoke Powdered chalk in water Sugar in water
fog

( 2 marks)

iii. Solids are difficult to compress because they are closely packed together in their lattice state.

b. i. A scalar quantity is a quantity with only magnitude but a vector quantity has both magnitude and
direction (1 mark)

ii.

scalar vector
mass force
temperature momentum
( 2marks)

iii.

Initial level of water, V1 = 40cm3

Final level of water V2 = 65cm3

Volume of metal = V2 – V1 = 65cm3 – 40cm3 = 25cm3

Mass of metal M = 0g

Density = mass = M = 50 = 2g/cm3

Volume V2 – V1 25

Q2 a i.

Differences

boiling evaporation
1. It occurs throughout the liquid It occurs only at the surface of the liquid
2. It occurs at definite temperature It occurs at any temperature
3. It does not result in cooling It result in cooling

(3marks)

ii. Factors affecting evaporation

1. Temperature

2. Nature of liquid

3. Surface area of the liquid

4. Wind

5. Pressure

6. Relative humidity (1mark)

iii. two substances that sublimes

 ammonium chloride crystals,

 solid carbon (IV) oxide,
 iodine crystal,
 dry ice

(1mark)

b i

α. Hydrometer: It is used to measure the density of liquids

β. Hygrometer: It is used to measure amount of humidity

¥. Micrometer screw gauge: It is used to measure extremely short distances

Õ. Vernier calipers : It is used to measure short distances

(2marks)

ii

Density of air = 1.26kg/m3

Volume of iron = L x b x h = 5 x 12 x 6 = 360m3

Mass of air = density x volume = 1.26 x 360 = 453.6kg

(2marks)

Q3. a

α. element : is the simplest form of matter that can exist at normal conditions and cannot be separated
into simpler form by chemical means

β. Ion: An ion is a negatively or positively charged particle

¥. Compound: A molecule is defined as an independent structural unit of matter made up of two or
more atoms chemically joined together in a fixed ratio

Õ. Atom It is defined as the smallest particle of an element that can exist and retain the chemical
properties of that element and take part in chemical reactions
(2marks)

ii.

ions atoms molecules

Cl- Na CO2
Al3+ Ar H2O

bi

α. kink/constriction : It allows reading to be taken at a convenient time

β bulb : it stores the thermometric substance

¥ Mercury : it serves as the thermometric substances

( 11/2 marks)

ii. Water is not used to sterilize clinical thermometer to prevent the glass of thermometer from
breaking (2marks)

iii.

Density of gold = 12.6/cm3

Volume of gold = 35cm3

Density = mass mass = Density x volume

Volume
Mass = Density x volume = 12.6x 35 = 441g

Q4 a. i State the method that is best for separating the following mixtures

α Salt from salt solution : Evaporation

β. Colour of dye: Chromatography

¥ Oil mixed with water: Using separating funnel

Õ Fraction of crude oil: Fractional distillation

ii.

First add water to the mixture and the filter it to separate the sand from the salt solution, after that put
the salt solution on fire to evaporate the water leaving the salt crystals in the container.

iii. . Differences

Ice Water
1. It is the solid form of a compound H2O It is the liquid form of the compound H2O
2. It cannot flow or pour It can flow and pour
3. The particles are closely packed The particles are loosely packed
4. It has a definite shape It has no shape

b. i. It is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of water.

ii.

DIFFERENCES

DENSITY RELATIVE DENSITY

It is a measured quantity It is a comparison between two measured
quantities
It has units It has no units
It has degree of accuracy It has a high degree of accuracy
It involves only one substance It involves two substance

iii.

Relative density = density of substance

density of water

Density of substance = Relative density x density of water

Density of substance = 8.8 ×1.0×103 kg/m3

= 8800kg/m3

Q5.a. i.

Proton

Electron

Neutron

ii.

α. Proton and neutron

β. neutron

¥. electron

Õ. Proton and neutron

b.

Mass of iron = 100g volume of iron = 15cm3

Density of iron in g/cm3 = mass = 27g = 1.8g/cm3

volume 15cm3

(b) 1g/cm3 = 1000kg/cm3

= 1.8g/cm3 = 1800kg/m3

Hence the density of iron in kg/m3 = 1800kg/m3

iii.

DIFFERENCES

MASS WEIGHT
It is a scalar quantity It is a vector quality
It is the quantity of matter in a body It is a force of gravity on a body
It is constant everywhere It is varies from place to place
The S.I unit is kilogram The S.I unit is newton (N)
Q6. a. i.

Isotopes are defined as atoms of the same element with the same atomic number having the same
number of protons but different mass number and numbers of neutrons.

ii.

`α. mass number = A+Z = 17 +20 = 37

β. Number of electrons = 17

b.

Relative density of methylated spirit

= mass of methylated spirit = 60 – 30 = 30 =

mass of liquid volume of water 100 – 30 70 = 0.4

but relative density = Density of substance

Density of water

0.4 = Density of methylated spirit

1000kg/m3

Hence Density of methylated spirit = 0.4 x 1000kg/m3

= 400kg/m3
