Fiona was tasked by her teacher to carry out an experiment. ln the experiment,
she
placed a cup full of water and an identical cup full of alcohol near a window.
A few hours
later, Fiona observed that both cups had lesser volume of liquid lhan before and that
the volume of alcohol remaining was much less than that of water.

What was the main aim of the experiment?

A to investigate the amount of evaporation of the two liquids

B to investigate the factors involved in evaporation
c to investigate whether all liquids would evaporate
D to investigate which of the two liquids would evaporate faster

21 20 cm3 of liquid A is poured into 30 cm3 of liquid B. lf there is no loss of either liquid,
why is the total volume less than 50 cm3?

A The liquid particles attract each other and reduces the volume.
B The particles in the liquid move slower and arrange themselves in flxed
positions, reducing the volume.
c The total mass of the mixture increases which compresses the liquids into a
smaller volume.
D There are spaces between the particles. Hence, the smaller particles of one
liquid fill the spaces between the larger particles of the other liquid.
