1. J. 02 (2f)

In liquid / particles slide over each other then get heat

energy changed into gas
In gas / particles move freely randomly in all directions

In liquid / particles have very small spaces between each

other then get heat energy changed into gas
In gas / distance between particles are big

In liquid / particles are randomly distributed, touched then

get heat energy changed into gas
In gas / particles are randomly distributed and very far
apart

(e) A student set up the apparatus shown in the diagram below.

The white solid is formed because the molecules of hydrogen chloride gas and
ammonia gas move at random throughout the tube and eventually react with each other.

(i) State the name given to this random movement of molecules.

……........................................Diffusion...........................................................

(ii) State the name of the white solid formed at X.

……................... Ammonium Chloride..................................................................

(iii) Suggest why the white solid is formed towards one end of the tube and not in the
middle.

Ammonia particles have lower relative molecular mass than hydrogen
