Diagram 9 shows a beaker of water left on a table in a laboratory for three days.
Diagram 9
After three days, the water level in the beaker decreases. Why does this happen? A B C D Water molecules lose heat and turn into solid. Water molecules absorb heat and turn into gas. Water molecules lose energy and turn into gas. Water molecules vibrate in a fixed position and turn into gas. PMR 2007 5 Diagram 3 shows a piece of towel hanging on a rail.

Explanation
PMR 2007 3(a) 28.50C (b) (c) (i) Time (ii) Temperature of distilled water (iii) Volume of water / Type of water / Rate of heating The longer the time taken to heat the distilled water, the higher the temperature.
(d)
(e)
(i) 1000C (ii) As time increases, temperature increases. After 8 minutes, the temperature becomes constant.
(f)
(i) The boiling point of salt solution is higher than the boiling point of distilled water. (ii) Impure water has a boiling point higher than 100oC./ Impure water is water that contains dissolved substances.
