HSP YEAR 5 3. When 50 ml of water and 50 ml of alcohol are mixed together, the total volume of the mixture is less than 100 ml. This is because A B C D the mixture of water and alcohol forms a smaller compound. the water molecules are larger than alcohol molecules. there are space between water molecules and alcohol molecules. The water reacts with alcohol.

4. Traditional houses in villages are often built with many windows and opening. Why? A B C D To provide fresh supply of air To provide a good view of the village To allow heat to flow efficiently To promote good neighbourhood relations

SECTION B 1. Diagram below shows a chicken egg that sinks in tap water but floats in concentrated common salt solution.

State two reasons for the above observations. (i) chicken egg is denser than tap water (ii) chicken egg is less dense than the concentrated common salt solution [ 2 marks ]

2. Give one reason for each of the following. (i) Teapots are usually coated with a shiny silver layer. To retain heat so that the tea will keep warm longer [ 1 mark ] (ii) Car radiators are painted black. To radiate heat faster so that the engine will not get overheated [ 1 mark ]

3. Ten marbles of the same size and shape are put into a measuring cylinder, as shown in the diagram below. Calculate the volume of each marble.

(a) Number of marbles

10 [ 1 mark ] 30 cm3 [ 1 mark ] 45 cm3 [ 1 mark ] 15 cm3 [ 1 mark ] 15 cm3 10 1.5 cm3 [ 2 marks ]

(b) Early reading of volume =

(c) Final reading of volume

(d) Total volume of marbles =

(e) Volume of 1 marble

4. Diagram below shows activities, which have been carried out by a student to determine the volume of marbles.

(i) Write the initial reading and the final reading shown above. Initial reading : Final reading : 37 cm3 27 cm3 [ 2 marks ] (ii) What are the volumes of 20 marbles? 37 cm3 - 27 cm3 = 10 cm3

[ 2 marks ] (iii) From the result in 4 (ii), calculate the volume of one marble. = 10 cm3 20 = 0.5 cm3
