Homework 3: Specific Heat Capacity Calculations Calculating specific heat capacity Here is the equation relating energy to specific heat capacity: E = m c θ E is the energy transferred in joules, J m is the mass of the substances in kg m c is the specific heat capacity in J / kg C θ ( theta ) is the temperature change in degrees Celsius, C EASY: For this section, just use the formula as it is above. Compound A is an imaginary solid. It has a Specific Heat Capacity of 1000 J / kg C a A 1 kg block of Compound A is heated, increasing its temperature by 1 C. How much energy has been added to the block? E m c θ Independent Learning: To extend your revision for Physics you should complete a past paper. b A 1 kg block of Compound A is heated, increasing its temperature by 10 C. How much energy has been added to the block? c A 1 kg block of Compound A is heated, increasing its energy by 1000 Joules. How much warmer does it get? d A 1 kg block of Compound A is heated, increasing its energy by 3000 Joules. How much warmer does it get? MEDIUM: Analyse some data to help you with the question. Specific Heat Capacity values Water 4,180 J / kg C Copper 390 J / kg C Glass 840 J / kg C a b c Which substance requires the least amount of energy to raise its temperature? How much energy is needed to increase the temperature of 1kg of water by 10 C? How much energy is needed to increase the temperature of 1kg of copper by 10 C? d A 1 kg block of copper is put in 2 kg of water. How much energy is needed to increase the temperature by 10 C? HARD: Here you need to rearrange the equation using the formula triangle. a b c d 10,000 J is added to 1kg of water. How much does the water temperature increase by? 10,000 J is added to 1kg of copper. How much does the water temperature increase by? 10,000 J is added to 1kg of glass. How much does the water temperature increase by? 20,000 J is added to 4kg of copper. How much does the water temperature increase by?
Summer Exam Revision Help To revise for your summer exam, you should use your revision guide, your past homework booklets and your exercise book. You should use the checklist earlier in this booklet to make sure you revise everything. Completing practice exam papers will help too. How to revise for Science: Step 1 Read a topic in the revision guide (e.g. about 3 or 4 pages from the CGP revision guide). Step 2 Make your own notes on this topic (mind maps/ posters/spider diagrams/revision cards). Step 3 Check your exercise book to see what you did on that topic and add to your notes. Step 4 Cover up your notes and write out from memory. Repeat until you know it all! Step 5 Complete practice exam questions on that topic from past papers or worksheets in your book. Step 6 Tick off that topic on your checklist and move onto the next topic!
Homework 4: Temperature and Rates of Reactions Use the boxes below to make a story about a particle in a chemical reaction. You can make cartoon drawings, use rhymes or simply write a story. The first five boxes are to explain the particle (named whatever you like!) reacting at a low temperature. Then explain how this reaction changes as the temperature is increased. Success Criteria Grade D: Written or drawn how the particles move at low and high temperatures. Grade C: Described what happens to the rate of reaction when temperature is increased. Grade B: Explained what happens to the rate of reaction when temperature is increased. Grade A: Used the words kinetic energy and activation energy in your text. The Story of Temperature and Rate of Reaction In the beginning, there was just some particles... when suddenly the temperature began to increase! Independent Learning: Extend your learning looking at rates of reactions simulations and models. Check out https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/reactions-and-rates
Homework 5: Forces and Momentum This lesson you completed an experiment about forces and momentum. Write up your experiment using these subheadings. Hypothesis Say what you wanted to find out. Variables Say your independent, dependent and control variables. Conclusion Explain what you found out. Evaluation Explain if your test was fair, repeatable and reproducible. HANDY HELP: SENTENCE STARTERS In our experiment we wanted to find out if... We changed..., we measured...... and we kept... and... the same. In conclusion, we found out that... I think my test was/wasn t fair because... My experiment was/wasn t reproducible because... Independent Learning: Extend your learning by finding out more about momentum and how to calculate it. Search online or look in a Science text book.
