Grade 11 Science Worksheet

Circle the best answer, or write your answer on the line.
A gas is warmed from 27 °C to 327 °C. To the nearest hundredth, how many times larger is its particles' average kinetic energy, Ari?
A gas is warmed from 10 °C to 50 °C. To the nearest hundredth, how many times larger is its particles' average kinetic energy, Esme?
In the energy bar chart, which store does the energy go into as the ice melts, Jun?
- Particle potential energy
- Particle kinetic energy, so the ice warms
- Neither, since melting needs no energy
In the energy bar chart, why does the temperature stay at 0 °C while the ice melts, Kira?
Use the picture in question 3.
- The particles speed up, but the thermometer can't tell
- The particles' average motion energy doesn't change
- No energy goes in
In the energy bar chart, how much does the particle potential energy grow, Luz?
Use the picture in question 3.
- 434 J
- 0 J
- 334 J
Heating curve for 1 g of ice (example data): energy added (J) across, 0 to 1200, a mark every 200 J; temperature (°C) up, −20 to 120, a mark every 20 °C. The line joins (0 J, −20 °C), (42 J, 0 °C), (376 J, 0 °C), (794 J, 100 °C), (1200 J, 100 °C) with straight pieces. The first flat part is melting at 0 °C; the second is boiling at 100 °C.

- The ice is melting
- The water is boiling
- The ice is warming up
In the heating-curve graph, which particle store grows along the flat parts, Noah?
Use the picture in question 6.
- Particle kinetic energy
- Neither, since the temperature is flat
- Particle potential energy
In the heating-curve graph, how much energy does the melting take, Pia?
Use the picture in question 6.
- 42 J
- 334 J
- 376 J
A rubber band is stretched. At the particle scale, why does it store energy, Ren?
- It gains particles
- Its particles are pulled from their usual positions
- Its particles move faster
Water evaporates from a warm dish. Why does the water left behind cool, Zee?
- The particles left behind grow bigger
- The fastest particles leave, lowering the average
- Evaporation adds energy to the water
