    Study Notes

    Scientific Principles Mock 2 - Study Notes

    • Question 1: Water freezes at 0°C.

    • Question 2: Water reaches its maximum density at 4°C.

    • Question 3: The approximate pressure at a tap 3.0 metres above the water source is 0.3 Bar.

    • Question 4: Water pressure is greatest at hole A in Figure 1.

    • Question 5: Galvanised LCS pipe material offers the greatest resistance to water flow.

    • Question 6: Siphonage utilises atmospheric pressure.

    • Question 7: A bimetallic strip should be used to measure the temperature of flow and return pipework in a heating system.

    • Question 8: 0.77 kJ of heat energy is needed to heat 1 kg of copper by 2°C. (Specific heat capacity of copper is 0.385 kJ/kg °C).

    • Question 9: Heat is transferred by radiation in straight lines.

    • Question 10: Permanent hardness in water is caused by the solvent ability of water to dissolve calcium sulphate.

    • Question 11: The direct result of hard water in domestic properties is reduced system efficiency.

    • Question 12: The effect of electrolytic action on a metal depends on its position in the electromotive series.

    • Question 13: Capillary attraction is greatest in tube A in Figure 2.

    • Question 14: Relative density is the density of a substance in comparison to the density of water.

    • Question 15: Copper has the highest rate of heat conductivity.

    • Question 16: Iron needs treatment if exposed to atmospheric corrosion.

    • Question 17: During electrolytic action the cathode is gradually destroyed.

    • Question 18: The fuse rating for a 600-watt appliance on a 220-volt supply is approximately 2.73 amps (calculated: 600W / 220V = 2.73A).

    • Question 19: Socket outlets in a domestic property usually have a maximum amp rating of 13 amps.

    • Question 20: Temporary earth continuity bonds would be most appropriate for a plumber during tasks like flushing a domestic hot water system, or working on a central heating control panel, or changing a cold water tap washer, or removing a section of system pipework.
