There will be water droplets on the out surface of the bottle. Water vapour from the surrounding air comes into contact with the cold surface of the bottle and condenses, forming water droplets on the outer surface of the bottle.

@atutor: Thanks a lot

This is the type of the question (not covered in syllabus) where the hint for the answer is given in the question. The key words are \"iron interact with oxygen\" which means iron will combine with oxygen. Therefore, the oxygen inside the tube will be used up and the volume of air inside will decrease. Hence, water will rise to take up the space previously occupied by oxygen.

About 1/5 of air is oxygen. Notice that the air above the water level is nicely divided into 5 equal parts and so answer is (3)

By selecting T,V & X, it shows that Henry is trying to find out the effect of temperature of water on the rate of evaporation. So just specify the other factors that will affect evaporation and keep them the same :

Humidity of the surrounding air must be the same (put at same location)
Wind condition must be the same (put at same location)
Temperature of surround air must be the same (put at same location)

P5G:

Hi Auntie atutor,

I put \"The thorax did not change.\"

Is it acceptable?

TIA.

I think cannot because as the caterpillar the thorax is made up of 3 segments but the thorax of adult butterfly is a single part.

Evaporation can occur at all temperature (even at 0 degree C - ice water) so water in all set up can evaporate.

The distance between the top of the magnet in the glass beaker and the bottom of the paper cup is 48 cm. Therefore, the maximum distance that the paper cup can move downwards is 48 cm and it will be resting on top of the top of the magnet in the glass beaker. In other words, when the mass of the rivets is 40g, the paper cup is already resting on top of magnet and it cannot move even when additional rivets are added.

This is a tricky question. When 40 ml of water has been poured into the container, the water in the container will cover the bottom end of the air tube. Air can no longer escape and is trapped in the container. So the answer is 40 ml
