2.
A rubber planter wanted to sell his latex and rubber.
He mixes the latex with an alkali (ammonia) to maintain its liquid form.
To produce rubber he mixes the latex with acid (ethanoic acid).

(a) Based on the above statement, write one suitable hypothesis.

(b) Describe an experiment that you can carry out in a laboratory to prove this hypothesis. Your
description should include the following;
(i) aim of experiment
(ii) identification of variables
(iii) list of apparatus and materials
(iv) method
(v) tabulation of data
(vi) conclusion
