6 Diagrams R, S and T represent the three states of matter.
Which change occurs during freezing?
7 Small crystals of purple KMnO4 (Mr = 158) and orange K2Cr2O7 (Mr = 294) were
placed at the centres of separate petri dishes filled with agar jelly. They were left to
stand under the same physical conditions.
After some time, the colour of each substance had spread out as shown.
The lengths of the arrows indicate the relative distances travelled by particles of each
substance.
Which statement is correct?
A Diffusion is faster in dish 1 because the mass of the particles is greater.
B Diffusion is faster in dish 2 because the mass of the particles is greater.
C Diffusion is slower in dish 1 because the mass of the particles is smaller.
D Diffusion is slower in dish 2 because the mass of the particles is greater.

8 Pure water has a boiling point of 100 °C and a freezing point of 0 °C.
What is the boiling point and freezing point of a sample of aqueous sodium chloride?
9 Impurities change the melting and boiling points of substances.
Sodium chloride is added to a sample of pure water.
How does the addition of sodium chloride affect the melting point and boiling point of the
water?
10 A compound, X, has a melting point of 71 °C and a boiling point of 375 °C.
Which statement about X is correct?
A It is a liquid at 52 °C and a gas at 175 °C.
B It is a liquid at 69 °C and a gas at 380 °C.

2 A sealed container contains nitrogen gas. The pressure of the gas is due to the
molecules of the gas hitting the walls of the container.
Use the kinetic theory to explain why the pressure inside the container increases when
the temperature is increased.
