Practical Question Instruction: Answer all the question given. 1. A student makes a hypothesis that all salts will dissolve in water. The students then dissolved some samples of salt in watre. Table 1 shows the results obtained by the student. Salt Observation Sodium chloride The salt dissolved producing a clear colourless solution Calcium sulphate A little of the salt dissolved producing a clear colourless solution Copper (II) sulphate The salt dissolved producing a clear blue solution Zinc carbonate The salt was insoluble in water (a) State the apparatus and the material used in the experiment. Apparatus: measuring cylinder, glass rod, beaker, weighing balance Materials: all types of salt above, water (b) State all the variables involved. Fixed: volume and the temperature of water, mass of salt Manipulated: type of salt Responding: solubility of the salt dissolve in water (c) Suggest one method you can be sure that a salt is not soluble in water. The salt is added into water and stirred throughly them filter and dry on a filter paper. If the mass of the salt does not change, it shows none of the salt had dissolve in water (3 marks) (d) What is the conclusion that can be made from the experiment? Not all the salt dissolve in water (e) Can the hypothesis of the student be accepted or rejected? Rejected (1 mark) (1 mark) (1 mark) (1 mark) (1 mark) (2 marks) (2 marks)

2. Figure 1 (a) shows the st-up of apparatus to determine the freezing point of ethanamide (acetamide). In this experiment, liquid ethamide is cooled from a temperature of 96 C in a conical flask. The temperature of liquid ethanamide is recorded at fixed intervals of time. Figure 1 (b) shows the graph of temperature against time during the cooling of ethanamide.

Based on the information, answer the following questions. (a) Why is the cooling of ethanamide dine in a conical flask? To enable constant cooling at a slow rate for ethamide (b) Based on the graph, what is the freezing point of ethanamide? 81oC (1 mark) (1 mark)

(c) Why does the temperature at B-C on the graph remain constant even though cooling continues? Freezing occur during freezing bonds are formed and energy is released (d) In what state of matter, does etanamide exists after 5 minutes of cooling? Solid (1 mark) (1 mark)

(e) On order to determine the melting point of ethanamide, solid ethanamide is heated in a water bath. In this experiment, the solid ethanamide is also recorded at regular intervals of time until all solid ethanamide melted. a. Why is a water bath suitable to use for heating the solid ethanamide? Give two reasons. -to provide constant heat / to avoid supercooling - ethamide is flammable. Direct heating will cause ethamide to burn (2 mark)

b. Why is stirring of solid ethanamide required throughout the whole experiment? So that heat is spread evenly through ethamide (1 mark) c. Sketch the graph of temperature against time for the heating of solid etanamide. Mark the melting point of ethanamide on the graph.

(3 marks) d. Name another substance, whose melting point can be determined using the same method. Napthlene (1 mark)

e. Subtances Y has a melting point of 115 C. Is water bath suitable for the heating of Y to determine its melting point? Explain. No, the melting point of y (115oC) is higher than the boiling point of water 100oC. So that water bath cannot be used (2 mark)
