 Section C

10 (a) Hypothesis
Magnesium powder is the most reactive with dilute acid
(b) -Aim
To study if different type of metals shows different reactivity with dilute acid
-Variable
Kept constant : volume of dilute acid
Manipulated : type of metal
Responding : different reactivity with dilute acid
-Materials/Apparatus
Magnesium powder, zinc powder , copper powder,,dilute hydrochloric acid and
test tube
-Procedure
1.Approximately 5cm3 of dilute hydrochloric acid is poured into a test tube.
2.A magnesium tape measuring approximately 5cm is added to the dilute acid
3.The experiment is repeated using different type of metals
4.Observation on different reactivity of metals with dilute acid is recorded.

-Data

Type of metal Different reactivity

with dilute acid
Magnesium powder
Zinc powder
Copper powder

11 (a)
Type of drug Effect
Depressants Slow down response to stimulus
Stimulants Increase metabolic rate
Opiates Relieve the sensation of pain and anxiety
Hallucinogens Cause hallucination

(b) -Two characteristics

1. Can change the function of the body
2. Are used to treat patients in medicine
-Initial concept
A chemical substance that can change the function of the body and
are used to treat patients in medicine is a drug
-Example
Heroin
-No Example
Sugar
-Actual concept
A drug is a chemical substance that can change the function of the
body and are used to treat patients in medicine

 12 (a)

Four stroke petrol engine Differences Four stroke diesel engine

Petrol Type of fuel Diesel
Sparks fro spark plug How to light up fuel Heat from hot air
compression
Less Efficiency More
Smaller Engine size Bigger

(b) -Identifying the problem

Cars are lack of safety measures
-Clarification of the problem
Cars are dangerous to drive
-Solving method
To add air bag
To add more crumple zone
To add side safety bar
-Best method and explanation
To add air bags because most injuries come from the front. This will
prevent from worse injuries to happen.
