(ii) Makes the thermometer sensitive. √ (1mark)
(c) -Expand regularly.√ (1mark) -Have wider temperature range.√ (1mark
(e) Ice-berg have density close√ to that of water hence it is partially submerged√ and cannot be seen.

(a) Is the heat used to change liquid to gaseous state without change in temperature
(c) (i) Boiling temperature rises.√(1mark)
(ii) Clipping the rubber tube makes steam to accumulate increasing pressure inside the flask.√ (1mark)
Increased pressure makes it difficult for the water molecule to escape into vapour, hence more energy is require.√ (1mark)
