HOW TO EXCEL IN

There are 3 questions : 1. Q1 : Experiment is given 2. Q2 : Experiment is given 3. Q3 : Plan an experimet

1 a.

Diagram is given Q : State the observations What can you observe from the diagram given? ( using all your 5 senses ) i. The blue spot formed ii. The container becomes hot iii. Hiss sound can be heard

1 b. Q : State the inferences Give reasons for the observations you have stated i. The blue spot is formed because reason .. ii. The container becomes hot because reason .. iii. The hiss sound can be produced because reason ..

1 c Q : State the variables : Manipulated variable (MV): Substances that need to be changed Responding variable (RV) : Effects on the changes to MV Constant variable (CV) : Substances/time/temperature that is constant

1 d Q : State the hypothesis A : When the MV , the RV or vice versa

1 e Q : State the operational definition What to define matter / process of responding variable (RV) A : Responding variable is . Rusting of iron is Presence of blue spot is .

2 a Q : State the reading measurement A :Readings with correct decimal point and unit Burette : 2 d.p ( 0.00 cm3 , 20.56 cm3) Voltmeter : Depends on voltmeter used

1 decimal point

2 decimal point

2 b Q : Construct the table based on the data

Quantity / Unit Quantity / Unit Quantity / Unit Voltmeter reading / V

2 c Q : Calculation i. Neutralisation : Ma Va = a Mb Vb b ii. 3 steps rule : 1. no. of mole 2. ratio from the equation 3. calculate what it asks

2 d Q : Classify the substances A : Based on facts

Monoprotic acid Diprotic acid

3. Q : Situation is given. You have to plan an experiment and only answer what the questions asks

i. Problem statement (3M) A : Does the MV affects/depends on RV?

ii. Hypothesis (3M) A : When MV , RV

or vice versa

iii. Variables (3M) Manipulated variable (MV): Substances that need to be changed Responding variable (RV) : Effects on the changes to MV Constant variable (CV) : Substances/time/temperature that is constant

iv Apparatus (3M) A : Measuring tools with volume i.e 250 cm3 beaker, burette, 250 cm3 conical flask v Materials (3M) A : Chemical solutions / substances with volume and concentration i.e 1.0 mol dm-3 of 25 cm3 Silver nitrate solution

vi Procedure (3M) A : Correct procedure with sequence Active and passive sentences can be accepted vii Tabulation of data (2M)
Quantity / unit Let this empty You just plan the experiment, not running it, so no results included Quantity / unit Let this empty

Form 4 1. Structure of Atom : Exp : Determination of melting and boiling point of naphthalene 2. Chemical Formula and Equation : Exp : Determination of empirical formula of magnesium oxide and lead(II) oxide 3. Periodic Table : Exp : Chemical properties of Group 1, and 17

Electrochemistry : *** Exp : i. Electrochemical cell *** ii. Voltaic cell Acids and Bases : Exp : Neutralisation** Salts : Exp : Preparation of insoluble salt (double decomposition) Manufacture of Substances : Exp : Strength of alloy

Rate of Reaction : Exp : Rate of reaction on concentration***, size of reactants ***, catalyst 2. Carbon compounds : Exp : Vulcanisation of rubber ** 3. Oxidation and Reduction : Exp : i. Rusting of iron** ii. Determination of Carbon in Reactivity series 4. Thermochemistry : Exp : i. Heat of combustion*** ii. Heat of displacement***
