Discussion
The volume of 0.5 mol dm-3 potassium chromate (VI), solution required to exactly react with 5.00 cm3 of 0.5
mol dm-3 lead (II) nitrate solution is 5.00 cm3.
Calculation:
Number of moles lead (II) ions = MV
= 0.5 x 5.00/1000 = 0.0025 mol.
Number of moles chromate (VI) ions = MV
= 0.5 x 5.00/1000 = 0.0025 mol.

1 : 1
12
Discussions:
1. A yellow precipitate of lead (II) chromate (VI) is formed in each of the seven test tubes.
2. The height of the precipitate increases gradually from test tubes 1 to 5 because more and more lead (II)
chromate (VI) is formed due to the increasing amount of potassium chromate (VI) added to the test tubes.
3. The colour of solution above the precipitate in test tubes 1 to 4 are colourless due to the excess lead (II)
nitrate.
4. The colour of solution above the precipitate in test tubes 6 to 7 is yellow due to the excess potassium
chromate (VI).
5. Ionic equation: Pb2+ + Cr2O72- PbCr2O7
Conclusion:
As / when the volume of potassium chromate (VI) solution used increases, the height of the precipitate
increases until it achieves a maximum height.

3. High percentage of nitrogen is a good fertilser for plants. How to calculate %N in fertiliser?
urea CO(NH2)2 and ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3), which one is a better fertiliser?
[ RAM : N,14; C,12 ;O,16; H,1]
Sample answer:
% N in Urea = mass of nitrogen / RMM urea x 100
= 2x14 / 60 x 100 = 46.67%
% N in NH4NO3 = 2x14 / 80 x 100 = 35.00 %
Urea is a good fertilizer than ammonium nitrate, because the percentage of nitrogen in urea higher than
ammonium nitrate.

Conclusion:
1. Vulcanised rubber is more elastic than unvulcanised rubber due to the presence of cross-linkage of
sulfur atoms between the rubber molecules. Vulcanised rubber could return to its original length after
removal of the weight.
To prepare vulcanised rubber
Rubber can be vulcanized by dipping natural rubber sheets into disulphur dichloride solution
in methylbenzene or heated with sulphur.
Note:
Vulcanised rubber is more heat resistance due to the presence of cross-linkage of sulfur atoms
increases the size of rubber molecules. Force of attraction between molecules will increase.

Discussion
1. Based on the observations magnesium and zinc metals inhibit rusting of iron, while copper and tin
metals speed up rusting of iron.
2. This is because magnesium and zinc are more electropositive than iron. Magnesium atom or zinc
atom releases its electron more easily than iron.
Mg Mg2+ + 2e
O2 + 2H2O + 4e 4OH3. Copper and tin are less electropositive than iron. Iron atom releases its electrons more easily than
copper atom or tin atom.
4. Fe Fe2+ + 2e
5. The less electropositive metals that in contact with iron, the faster the rusting of iron occurs.
6. The more electropositive metals that in contact with iron prevent iron from rusting.
Conclusion:
Rusting can be prevented when iron is in contact with a more electropositive metal. Rusting occurs faster
when iron is in contact with a less electropositive metal.

CHAPTER 13: THERMOCHEMISTRY

1. Exothermic
A chemical reaction that gives out heat to the surroundings
- The reactants lose heat energy to form the products
- The energy content of reactants is higher than products
- H negative
2. Energy level diagram (label energy, reactants and product with correct chemical / ionic formula, heat of
reaction with unit.
3. Heat of reaction heat change/releases when 1 mole of product formed. [ kJmol- ]
= mC / mole
Heat of neutralization heat releases when 1 mole of H+ combines with 1 mol of OH- to form
1 mole of water.
H+ + OH- H2O
4. Heat of combustion heat releases when 1 mole of alcohol burnt completely in excess oxygen.
C2H5OH + 3O2 2CO2 + 3H2O
5. As the number of carbon atom per molecule increases, the heat of combustion increases, due to more
products formed (CO2 & H2O) . Therefore more heat released when more bonds are formed.

CHAPTER 14: CHEMICALS FOR CONSUMERS

Example:
1. (a) A student washed his socks which had oily stains. Explain the cleansing action of soap on the oily
stains.
In water soap ionizes to form ions/anion CH3(CH2)x COO- and cation, sodium ions, Na+
The anions consists of hydrophilic part ( -COO -) and hydrophobic part (hydrocarbon)
Hydrophilic part dissolve in water only but hydrophobic part dissolve in grease only.
The anions reduce surface tension of water, causing wetting of greasy surface.
During washing and scrubbing, the anions pull the grease and lifted it off the surface and break it into
a small droplets (Emulsifying agent)
Rinsing away the dirty water removes the grease (the dirt) and excess soap and the surface is clean.
(b) Another
out four

of soap and
oily stains in
hard water
student carried
experiments to
cleansing effect
detergent on
soft water and
respectively.
40
Compare the cleansing effect between

(i) Experiments I and II
(ii) Experiment II and IV
Explain the differences in the observation
Exp. I and II
The oily stain disappears in Experiment I but remains oily in Experiment II.
Hard water contains Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions which reacts with soap ions to form
scum (insoluble salt)
The formation of scum makes anions less efficient for cleaning the oily stain on the sock
In soft water, all anions are used to clean the oily stain
Thus, soap is only effective as a cleansing agent in soft water and ineffective in hard water.
Exp. II and IV
The sock in Experiment II remains oily but is clean in experiment IV.
The soap anions form scum when reacts with Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions in hard water.
The formation of scum makes anions less efficient for cleaning
The detergent anions CH3(CH2)x OSO3- / CH3(CH2)x
SO3- do not form a precipitate with Ca2+
O
and Mg2+ in hard water.
Hence, detergent cleans effectively in hard water but soap does not clean effectively in hard water.
2. Preparation of soap
Procedure
1. pour 10 cm3 palm oil ( vegetable oil ) into a beaker
2. add 50 cm3 of 5.0 mol dm-3 NaOH / KOH solution
3. heat the mixture for (10 minutes)
4. stir
5. stop heating, add 50 cm3 distilled water and solid NaCl
6. boil the mixture for 5 minutes
7. cool
8. filter, wash / rinse
9. dry ( press the residue between filter papers
41
Test

[10 marks]
Sample answer:
1. hard water : sea water
2. soft water : distilled water
Materials: liquid soap, sea water, distilled water, pieces of cloth with oil stain.
Apparatus: beaker (suitable container), glass rod, measuring cylinder
Procedure:
1. pour (100 200) cm3 sea water into a beaker/ suitable container
2. Add (10 20 ) cm3 liquid soap into the beaker.
3. stir the mixture
4. Place a piece of cloth with oil stain into the beaker.
5. Record the observation.
6. Repeat step 1 4 using distilled water.
Observation:
1. The oil stain in hard water remained but removed in soft water.
42
Conclusion:
1. Hard water contains Mg2+ or Ca2+. Soap anion formed scum (insoluble salt) when react with Mg2+ or Ca2+.
2. Soap is not an effective cleansing agent in hard water but only effective in soft water.
