  • You are NOT allowed to start working with the apparatus for the first 15minutes of the 2¼ hours allowed for this paper. This time is to enable you read the question-paper and make sure you have ALL the chemicals and apparatus that you may need.
  • Mathematical tables and silent electronic calculator may be used.
  • ALL working MUST be clearly shown where necessary.

 

QUESTION 1.
You are provided with:
