Topic: Electrical Circuit

Q1. Gabriella connects an electrical circuit.

There are two lamps and four ammeters in the circuit. The lamps are identical. The reading on A1 is 0.8A. What
are the readings on the other ammeters?

Q2. A resistor is a component that is used in an electric circuit.

Describe how a student would use the circuit to take the readings necessary to determine the resistance of
resistor R.

Ans= switch on, read both ammeter and voltmeter, R = V / I

2b. In an experiment using this circuit, an ammeter reading was 0.75 A. The calculated value of the resistance of
resistor R was 16 Ω. What is the voltmeter reading?

Ans= 12 (V) (0.75 × 16 gains 1 mark)

Q3. A student wants to investigate how the current through a filament lamp affects its resistance.
Q4(a). Electrical circuits often contain resistors. (Ans= 25(Ω))

Ans= 2(V) (correct method, ie 6 / 3)

Q5. (b) Figure 1 shows three circuits. The resistors in the circuits are identical. Each of the cells has a potential
difference of 1.5 volts.

(b) In an investigation, identical plants are placed in three different gases.

 Each plant is given constant light.

 The plants are kept in the same conditions for one week.

The diagram shows the results of this investigation.

Describe the results of this investigation.

Q1. Carlos investigates the reaction of zinc with dilute sulfuric acid. He puts zinc into a conical flask and then
adds 25 cm3 of cold dilute sulfuric acid. The diagram shows his apparatus.

Carlos then records the volume of gas in the syringe each minute. The diagrams below show some of his results.
 (a) Write down the volume of gas collected after 6 minutes. __________________________cm3

b) Carlos repeats the investigation using 25 cm3 of warm dilute sulfuric acid.

Predict the volume of gas collected after 2 minutes. ________________________cm3

Q2. Youssef and Blessy investigate the reaction of metals with dilute hydrochloric acid. They put 10 cm 3 of
hydrochloric acid into four test-tubes. They then add 0.1g of a different metal to each test-tube. Youssef and
Blessy measure the time it takes for the metal to react
completely. This is the reaction time. The table shows their
results.

(a) Put the metals in the table in order of reactivity.

(b) Write the word equation for the reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid.

Q3. When lithium is added to water it forms lithium hydroxide and a gas.

(a) Complete the word equation for the reaction between lithium and water.
(b)The chemical symbol for lithium is Li. The formula for water is H2O. The formula for lithium hydroxide is LiOH.
Which of these substances is an element?

Choose from lithium, water or lithium hydroxide _________________________

(c) Lithium is in Group 1 of the Periodic Table. The diagram shows some of the elements in Group 1 of the
Periodic Table.

Describe how the reactivity of the Group 1 metals changes as you go down the
group.

Q4. Safia and Carlos do some displacement reactions.

Use the information in the table to put the metals into the order of reactivity.
 (d) Complete the word equation for the reaction between zinc and lead nitrate.

Q5. Angelique and Pierre investigate the rate of reaction between hydrochloric acid and calcium carbonate. The
diagram shows the apparatus they use.

 They add 1 g of calcium carbonate to 25 cm3 of hydrochloric acid.

 They measure the volume of gas collected in 2 minutes.

 They then repeat the method using different concentrations of acid.

The table shows their results.

(a) As the concentration of the acid increases the rate of reaction increases.

(i) Explain how the results show this?

(ii) Explain why the rate of reaction increases as the concentration of acid increases. Use ideas about particles
and collisions in your answer.

(b) Angelique tells Pierre that the results are not reliable. How could they make the results more reliable?
