Answer all the questions in the spaces provided.
1. You are provided with a piece of specimen N and the following reagents:
– Dilute hydrochloric acid
– Dilute sodium hydroxide
– Dilute hydrogen peroxide
– Water
You have also been provided with the following apparatus:
– Three test tubes
– 10ml measuring cylinder
– Scalpel
Procedure
(i) Label the test tubes 1, 2 and 3.
(ii) Macerate (chop into tiny pieces) half of specimen N.
(iii) Place equal amounts of the macerated specimen into test tubes 1 and 2.
(iv) Cut the remaining half of the specimen into two equal pieces.
(v) Place one piece into test tube 3 and reserve the remaining piece.
(vi) Add about 2cm3 of dilute hydrochloric acid into test tube 1, add about 2 cm3 ofsodium hydroxide into each of test tubes 2 and 3.(vii) Add about 5 cm3 of hydrogen peroxide into each of the three test tubes, 1, 2 and 3.
(a) Observe the amount of effervescence in each test tube and complete the table below.
| Test tube | Contents | Amount of effervese nce observed | Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | |||
| 2 | |||
| 3 |
