Section B: Short Answer Questions [10 marks]
1, A student has to construct a thermostat for a refrigerator as shown in fig BI for his science
project. He was asked to choose from five different metals A, B, C, D and E to form the
bimetallic strip. The rate of expansion of the five metals are shown in table B2 with 4 being
the metal that expands the most and 1 being the metal that expands the least.

(2) @) State whether the refrigerator in fig B1 is at a ‘warm state’ or ‘cold state’. [1]
52Gi) Deseribe what happens to the bimetallic strip as the refrigerator warms up. [2]
(b) Suggest two metals from table B1.2 that the student can use as metal X and metal Y to
make the thermostat most responsive. Explain your answer. [2]
Metal X: Metal Y:
Explanation:
Fig B2.1 below shows the cross-section of the Magic pot, sold by household products
company, which is claimed that it will continuously slow cook your food from the residual
heat for the next four to six hours after removing the heat source.

53Different parts of the Magic pot are made up of different materials that affect heat transfer
through conduction, convection and radiation.
The inner pot cover is made up of tempered glass,
(a) How does tempered glass prevent heat loss? [1]
The inner pot is made up of aluminium and stainless ste
(b) State why metals like aluminium and stainless steel causes the inner pot to gain heat
quickly. Explain your answer. [2]
(©) State how the shiny surfaces of aluminium and stainless steel causes the inner pot to
gain heat quickly. Explain your answer. [2]
54Section C: Free Response Questions [10 marks]
1. (a) Ali wants to investigate heat transfer in the laboratory. He filled an electric kettle with
‘water as shown in figure C1
heating
element
Fig C1
(i) Explain why the heating element is positioned near the bottom. [2]
(ii) Figure C2 shows a temperature-time graph of water being heated in the kettle
when the heating element is positioned at the bottom as shown in figure C2.
(On figure C2, draw another graph showing the change of temperature with time
when the heating element is positioned at the top of the water. [1]

55(b) The hot water is then transferred to two metal cans as shown below after one period.
Both cans are placed the same distance from an electric heater. The initial temperature
of the water in each can is the same.

(i) Name the main process by which energy from the electric heater reaches the
cans. [1]
(ii) The temperature of the water in both cans rises. In which can, X or Y, will the
temperature rise more quickly? Explain your answer. [2]
(iii) Ifthe lids are not placed on the cans, the mass of water in each can decreases
even before the water reaches the boiling point,
Explain what happens to the water to cause this decrease in mass. [1]
56(©) Ali then decided to use a vacuum flask, as shown in Fig C4 for his grandma’s daily use
as it is capable of keeping hot water for a long time without continuous heating.

(i) Explain how the silvered wall help to keep the hot water hot for a long time. [1]
(ii) Explain how the vacuum between glass walls help to keep the hot water for a
Jong time, [2]
