THEORY
1ai)
an acid base indicator is a weak acid or weak base that exhibits a colour change as the concentration of hydrogen (H^+) or hydroxide (H^-) ions changes in an aqueous solution
1aii)
methyl-orange
1b)
i)oxidizing agent
ii)mixed anhydride
1c)
enthalpy of combustion is the heat evolved when one mole of a substance is completely burns in oxygen gas under standard conditions
1cii)
enthapy of combustion is always negetive since it involvs a rise in temperature and heat of reactants is greater than the heat of products
1d)
primary cell is a cell that cannot be re charged while secondary cell is a cell that can be recharged
1dii)
primary cell -- daniell cell
secondary cell -- lead accumulator
1e)
mole is the unit of measurement in the International System of Units (SI) for amount of substance. The unit is defined as the amount of a chemical substance which contains as many representative particles, e.g., atoms, molecules, ions, electrons, or photons, as there are atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12 (12C), the isotope of carbon with relative atomic mass
1f)
n= V=40cm^3
c= 0.40moldm^3
n=cv/1000
0.40*40/1000 = 0.016mol
1g)
i) Platinum
ii) Carbon
1h)
i) Hydrogen bonds
ii) Vander waals forces
1i) Water(H2O) and Carbonmonoxide (Co)

method
- rub the fat on a blank white paper
- pour Sudan (III) dye over the paper
-wash the paper under tap
Observation
- rubbing the fat on the paper produces a translucent color
-pouring sudan (III) will stain the blot red
Conclusion
- fat is present because sudan (III) can stain fat red
5bi)
C(s) + O2(g) =====> Co2(g)
Co2(g) + C(s) =====> 2Co(g)
Fe2O3(s) + 3Co(g) =====> 2Fe(l) + 3Co2(g)
The limestone present decomposes as follows:
CaCo3(s) =====> CaO(s) + Co2(g)
Which is available to remove silicon(iv) oxide impurity
SiO2(s) + CaO(s) =====> CaSiO3(s)
5bii)
Faraday’s first law of electrolysis states that, the mass (m) of an element discharged during an electrolysis is directly proportional to the quantity of electricity (Q) passing through it.
