    4. A black mas is formed, concentrated H2SO4 is a dehydrating agent. It removes elements of water (hydrogen and oxygen) leaving behind carbon (1 mk)
  3.  
    1. Type of flame produced by the fuel
      Amount of heat produced during combustion

        =-1246472.392 J/mole (1/2 mark)
        NB:- penalize ½ mk for wrong units
        Penalize ½ mk for missing or wrong sign

          Q:    Q(s) → Q2+ (aq) + 2e-
        3. It completes the circuit (1 mk)
          It ensures electrical neutrality and balance of ions between the two cells (1 mk)
      3. The salt in the bridge should not react with ions in the solution
        1. Eθ cell = Eθ reduction + Eθ oxidation
          +1.71 = Z – – 079
