Boiling point High So that liquid slow to heat
Specific heat capacity High So that it can’t be easily hot
Density Average High density, liquid more heavy
Rate of vaporation Low Liquid volume will be decrease faster if rate

of vaporation high
Liquid B is chosen Reasons: Boiling point high, specific heat capacity average, rate of
vaporation low
8.
Size and height Stem thin and long To increase accuracy

hydrometer stem
Bulb diameter Big Bouyant force high// Displace more liquid
Bulb A Bulb contains lead Hydrometer upright/ lowing gravity centre/

shot more stable
Hydrometer wall Glass wall No erode by acid
Hydrometer K is chosen Reasons: stem thin and long, diameter air bulb big, bulb contained
lead shot and stem glass walled
9.
Characteristic Suitable property Reason
Diameter small High frequency hence high pitch
Tension high High frequency hence high pitch
Strength high Does not break easily
String material Steel Lasting and does not break easily
Q is chosen Reason: Small diameter, high tension, high strength and its made of
steel.
10.
13
Density Low So that the loop will be light
Freezing point High So that it can’t easily freeze
Resitivity Low So that the current high// high heat energy

produced
Rate of corrosion Low Can’t easily rust
Substance R is chosen Reason: Low density, Freezing point average, resistivity low and
rate of corrosion low
