1. A student investigates the relationship between the volume and temperature of a fixed mass
of gas at a constant pressure of 1 atmosphere. The results she obtained are shown in the
table below.
Temperature/0C 20 50 100 150 200 250
3
Volume/cm 49.1 54.0 61.3 70.5 78.9 87.0
a. With the aid of a diagram describe a method that the student could use to obtain her
results. (6)

b. Plot a graph of volume V vs Temperature (T). The scale for the x axis should include the
range -3000C to 3000C, with 500C per division. Label the graph line line 1.(9)
c. From the graph, determine V1, the volume of the gas at -1200C. (2)

d. At what temperature is the volume 2V1? (2)

e. Determine the slope S of the graphs. Include its units. (4)

f. From your graph read off the temperature T0 at which the volume would be zero. Explain
the significance T0. (3)
 g. The equation of how the graph line is V= mT + C. Write down the values of m and C.(2)

h. The pressure on the gas is doubled and the experiment repeated. Draw on the same set of
axes, the line that would be obtained if the experiment is repeated at this higher pressure.
Label this line Line 2. (2)

#3. A. Figure 2 below shows a shiny kettle which is placed on a gas stove to heat the water inside it.

i.By what process is heat transferred to the water through the kettle? (1)

ii. Explain why kettles are usually shiny on the outside. (1)

iii.How does the cover prevent heat losses? (2)

June 2007 Paper 3 #3

a. Answer the following questions using the kinetic theory of matter.

i. Explain why thermal energy has to be supplied to a liquid at its boiling point to be changed
into gas, without any change in temperature and why the volume of the gas produced is
much greater than the original volume of the liquid. State the energy change that occurs
during the phase change from liquid to gas.

ii. A gas exerts a pressure on the walls its container. What causes this pressure? If the temperature
of a gas in a container is reduced, the pressure in the container falls. Why does this occur? (8)
b.At standard temperature and pressure that is 0 0C and 1.01 x 105 Pa pressure, the density of
oxygen is 1.43 kg/m3, at a pressure of 2.02 x 105 Pa and a temp of 250C.

i. What volume would the same mass of oxygen occupy at standard temp and pressure. Calculate
the mass of oxygen in the container.

ii. The container is now heated to 450C. What will be the new pressure? Assume the container
does not expand.

ii. Sketch a graph of pressure against KELVIN temp for the gas. Indicate the original pressure
and temperature. (12)

June 1998 Paper 2 #1

The apparatus shown below may be used to investigate how the volume of a fixed mass of gas at a
constant temperature varies when the pressure is changed. Air is trapped in a uniform glass tube
which has a scale behind it calibrated in cm3. As the pressure in the oil chamber is increased using
the pumps, oil is forced into the glass tube, decreasing the volume of air. The pressure in kPa, is
indicated by a gauge fitted to the oil chamber.
a. How would you make sure that the temp of the gas was constant during the experiment. (1)

b. It is suggested that if the temperature is constant the pressure P of a fixed mass of gas is
inversely proportional to the volume V that is 1/V= k x P where k is a constant. To test
whether the relationship supplies in this case, read off values of V from the graph to
complete the table below. Tabulate the corresponding values of 1/V.
 c. Plot a graph of 1/V against P. (8)
d. What conclusion can you draw from the graph you have plotted? (2) Give a reason for
your answer.

e. The gradient of the graph is equal to the value of k. Find k. (5)

f. i. What would be the volume of the air in the tube if the pressure could be increased to
550 kPa? Assume the equation above applies.

ii. The maximum volume of the air in the tube is 65cm3. Calculate the pressure of the air for this
volume. (2)

June 1996 Paper 3 #1

This question is about some of the physical principles involved in scuba diving. Scuba divers
breathe air from steel tanks carried on their backs. The tanks contain air at a pressure of 2 x 10 7
Pa. At atmospheric pressure, this air would occupy a volume of 2.5 m 3.

a. Explain in terms of the kinetic theory of gases:

i.How the air exerts a pressure inside of the steel tank
 ii.Why the pressure in the tank increase when the tank is left out in the sun.

c. Why the pressure inside the tank decreases as the air is released. (8)

b. Determine the volume of the air when inside the tank at a pressure of 2 x 10 7 Pa.

c. When the tank is in the sun, the temperature of the air inside reaches 40 0C and its pressure
is 2.1 x 107 Pa. Under the water, the temperature of this air goes down to 10 0C.
i.Assuming that the volume of the tank does not change when it is underwater determine
the pressure of the air in the tank when it is underwater. (4)

ii.Express the change in air pressure when the tank is underwater as a percentage of the air
pressure when the tank is in the sun. (1)

d. Because of the increasing pressure with depth underwater, there is a limit to the depth to
which a scuba diver can safely go. Calculate the total pressure exerted on a diver who is
24m under the surface. (4)

Density of water- 1000 kg/m3, atm pressure- 100,000 Pa, g= 10 N/kg, 00C= 273K.
