(a)(i) What is a thermometric liquid?

(ii) State the reason for the following design features of a clinical thermometer. I. Narrow bore: II. Thin wall of the bulb 

(b) Distinguish between heat and temperature of an object in terms of the energy of a particle

(c) Explain why evaporation leads to cooling

(d) A kettle rated 2000W, contains water at 20ºC. The kettle is switched on and after two minutes, the water starts boiling. After another six minutes, 45% of the water in the kettle boils away. (i) Determine the specific latent heat of the vaporization of the water (ii) State one assumption made in your calculation 9d(i) above

The volume of a fixed mass of gas at 0º C is 200 m\(^3\). What is its volume at 273º C at constant pressure?

What pressure would a 5000N weight of water exert at the bottom of a reservoir containing it if its length and breadth are 10m and 5m, respectively

Which of the following thermometer types best responds to a change in temperature

A gas is cooled at a constant pressure from 57ºC was observed to shrink one-fifth (1\5) of its original volume of 2.00cm\(^3\). Find its new temperature
