You are provided with specimen D, carry out an experiment using the following procedures: Procedures a) Cut the specimen D into two halves. b) Place one half into a mortar and grind using pestle to make a paste c) Place the paste into the test tube and label it as test tube X. d) Place the other half into another test tube and label it as test tube Y e) Add 2mls of 2% H₂O₂ solution into each of the test tube X and Y and note the changes. f) Take a wooden splint and test the evolution of gas in each of the test tubes. Record your observation. Questions a) (i) What was the aim of this experiment? (ii) Which test tube acted as a control experiment? b) Why was specimen D grounded? c) (i) What did you observe after adding 2% hydrogen peroxide solution into each of the test tube X and Y? Give reason for each observation. (ii) Suggest the name of the substance contained in specimen D which was responsible for the changes noted in one of the test tubes in procedure (e). (iii) Write the chemical equation for the reaction which occurred after adding 2 % of hydrogen peroxide solution which caused the observed changes in one of the test tube in procedure (e). d) Name the gas evolved in this experiment. Give reasons for your answer. e) What deductions can be made in this experiment? Give two points.
