Section D: Question (65 Marks)
Question 1
(a) (i) Glowing splint. The glowing splint relights in the presence of oxygen. (2M)
(ii) Hydrogencarbonate indicator. Color changes from red to yellow in the presence of
carbon dioxide. // Lime water. Color changes from colourless to milky in the presence
of carbon dioxide. (2M)
(b) (i) Argon is chemically inactive while air is a mixture of chemically active and
inactive gases. Thus, argon will not react with the metal (tungsten) inside the light
bulb. (2M)
(ii) Nitrogen is used to fill in food packaging. // Nitrogen is used to store the living
cells. (1M)

Question 2
(a) Water vapour / Mist / Water droplets (2M)
(b) No. I don’t agree. The colorless liquid is formed by condensation instead of
leakage. (2M)
(c) Using dry cobalt chloride paper. The color change of the paper from blue to pink
in the presence of water vapour. (2M)
(d) (i) Carbon dioxide (2M)
(ii) Hydrogencarbonate indicator. Color changes from red to yellow in the presence of
carbon dioxide. // Lime water. Color changes from colourless to milky in the presence
of carbon dioxide. (2M)
(iii) The density of carbon dioxide gas is lower than that of oxygen. Thus, it displaces
oxygen so that oxygen cannot come in contact with fire. (2M)

Question 3
(a) Put the plant in the dark for 1-2 days. (1M)
(b) Absorb carbon dioxide. (1M)
(c) (i) B, A, D, C (1M)
(ii) A: to kill the chlorophyll in the leaf. B: to destroy the cell membrane of the
leaf. (2M)
(iii) Since alcohol is flammable. Hot water bath instead of direct heating of alcohol
is performed. (2M)
(iv) Color of iodine solution changes from brown to blue-black. (2M)
(v) (I) Positive results of iodine test for the green part of leaf A while negative
result for non-green part of leaf A. It implies that chlorophyll is necessary for
photosynthesis to take place. (2M)
(II) Positive results of iodine test for leaf A while negative result for leaf B. It
 implies that light is necessary for photosynthesis to take place. (2M)
(III) No conclusion can be drawn as there are more than one factors affecting
the result of iodine test. (2M)

Question 4
(a) kJ and kcal (2M)
(b) Food X.
In every 100g of food X, there is
= 1256 kcal x2
= 2512 kcal
>2253kcal, which is the energy content in food Y. (2M)
(c) (i) Refer to Appendix
(ii) Independent variable: food samples (1M)
Controlled variable: type of fire, size of the food (or other reasonable
answers) (1M)
(d) By doing exercises, our energy output will be larger than the energy intake. Thus,
it can keep us from getting overweight. (2M)
(e) Complexity of process // presence of flame // site for the process (1M)

Question 5
(a) The color of the indicator changes from red to yellow as the frog respires and
produces carbon dioxide. (2M)
(b) The amount of carbon dioxide is similar to that in atmospheric air. (0.0038%)
(2M)
(c) Photosynthesis and respiration. (2M)
(d) Refer to Appendix
(e) Tube P is covered by thin paper where a small amount of light can pass through
the paper. Photosynthesis takes place in a slower rate. Hence, there is an intake of
carbon dioxide but in a slower rate. At the same time, since respiration take place
in green plant all the time so there is an uptake of carbon dioxide. Thus, the color
of the hydrogencarbonate indication remains red. (5M)
