4. Diagram
4.1 shows three sets of apparatus P, Q and R used in an
experiments to study the movement of particles in a solid, liquid and gas.
Table 4.1 shows the results of the experiments.

Experiment Observations Time taken

P The whole gel turns 2 days
purple in colour.
Q The water turns purple 2 hours
in colour.
R Both gas jars are filled 5 minutes
with smoke.
