You provided with specimen Q and required them to carry out procedures (a) to (i) and then answer the questions follow: (a) Cut specimen Q into small pieces using scapel. (b) Place the pieces into mortar and mix it with one spatula full of sand (c) Grind the mixture using pestle to make a paste. (d) Label 2 test tubes as test tube B and C. (e) Place a small portion of the paste into each test tube (f) Add 2 ml of 2% H O solution into the test tue B and note the change. (g) Test the nature of the gas evolved from the test tube using a wooden splint. Record your observation. (h) Add 2 cm 3 of distilled water to the contents of test tube C then boil for 3 minutes. (i) Repeat the same procedure in stage (f) and (g) for test tube C then record your observation. Questions (a) (i) What was the aim of this experiment (ii) Which test tube was used as a control experiment? (b) Give a reason for doing each of the following: (i) Mixing specimen Q with sand. (ii) Grinding the specimen Q. (c) (i) What did you observe after adding 2% hydrogen peroxide solution into each of the test tubes B and C? Give reason for each observation (ii) Suggest the name of the substance contained in the specimen Q which was responsible for the changes noted in (f). (iii) Write a chemical equation for the reaction which occurred after adding 2% hydrogen peroxide solution to the test tube B. (d) Name the gas evolved in this experiment. Give reason for your answer. (e) What can you deduce from this experiment?
