Section B
You are provided with specimen Y. Perform the following: (i) Cut into pieces and grind with sand. (ii) Divide into two portions: test tube 1 and test tube 2. (iii) Add H2O2 to both tubes. (iv) Boil the second before adding H2O2. (v) Observe reaction and test for gas with a glowing splint. Questions: (a) What was the aim of this experiment? (b) Why was sand used when grinding? (c) What were the observations in each test tube? (d) Identify the active component in specimen Y responsible for the reaction. (e) Write the chemical equation of the reaction. (f) Name the gas evolved and give a reason. (g) What conclusion can you draw from this investigation?
