Diagram 9
After three days, the water level in the beaker decreases. Why does this happen? A B C D Water molecules lose heat and turn into solid. Water molecules absorb heat and turn into gas.

Water and solution PMR 2006 1(a) Distilled water (b) Any one answer - Salt solution in beaker Y is less concentrated than in beaker Z. - Salt solution in beaker Y is not saturated but salt solution in beaker Z is saturated. - More salt can dissolve in beaker Y but the salt in beaker Z cannot dissolve completely. (c) 1. Add more solvent / distilled water 2. Heat the solution / increase the temperature (i) Add more salt into beaker X. (ii) Dissolving more salt in beaker X increases the density of the solution. When the density of the salt solution is higher than the density of the egg, the egg will float. (i) Handkerchief R (ii) R has the biggest exposed surface area / R is not folded. The moving air increases the rate of evaporation./ The moving air decreases air humidity. Any one pair of method and explanation Method : Slice open the fish / Spread the fish apart from one another Explanation : Increasing the surface area increases the rate of evaporation. Method Explanation Method Explanation Method Explanation : Place the fish in an open and windy area : Movement of air is faster and the rate of evaporation increases. : Expose to smoke : Increase the air temperature increases the rate of evaporation. : Place the fish in a less humid area : Less water vapour in the air increases the rate of evaporation.
