1. What is meant by scientific method?
Scientific method is a systematic method used by scientists and
researchers when solving problems in science.
2. Why is a scientific method important in chemistry?
State your opinion.
Scientific method helps chemists to solve problems through
systematic scientific steps
21. 3. You are given a bucket of ice cubes, a little sugar, a measuring
cylinder and a stopwatch. Plan an experiment to determine
whether sugar increases the melting rate of the ice.
(Student’s suitable answer)
Hypothesis: The addition of sugar will increase the rate of melting of ice
Manipulated variable: Mass of sugar used
Responding variable: Rate of melting of ice
Fixed variable: Surrounding temperature, type of sugar used, mass of ice
Procedure:
1. Weigh 200 g ice and put in a small pail.
2. Put the small pail in a shaded place for 5 minutes.
3. After 5 minutes, use a measuring cylinder to measure the volume of water formed
in the pail.
4. Record the reading in a table.
5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 by adding 10 g, 30 g and 50 g sugar.

Titration
32. Toxic substances and hea
vy metals should be kept
in special labelled containe
rs and kept in a locked
room which is heat free
Reactive metals such as
lithium, sodium and
potassium are stored
in paraffin oil to prevent
reaction with the moisture
in the air.
Reactive substances
Corrosive chemicals
(pH<5 and pH>9) are
Usually stored in specia
l
storage cabinets that ar
e
kept locked.
Substance with pH <5
and pH > 9
Substances that decompo
se easily in the presence
of light, for example
concentrated nitric acid,
hydrogen peroxide solutio
n,
silver nitrate solution, liqui
d bromine and liquid chlor
ine are stored in dark bottl
es.
Substance that
decompose easily
Heavy metals and toxic
substances
Volatile and inflammabl
e
liquids like hydrocarbon
s
and organic
solvents should be stor
ed in shady areas far fr
om
sunlight and heat sourc
e.
Hydrocarbons and
organic solvents
Storage of Chemicals
33. Most are volatile and
Inflammable
Kept in special
containers made of
glass or plastic
Low conc. – sink
High conc. – dilute with
water and added with
sodium sulphite sink
Hydrogen peroxide
Strong acids and alkalis
– kept in closed labelled
containers
Stored in closed
containers and kept
away from sun and heat
Volatile substances
Disposal of Chemicals
Eg. glass, rubber –
disposed into special
container
Solid wastes
Kept in plastic bags and
left to evaporate in the
fume chamber. Then
the bag is tied and put
into a container. Then it
is discarded according
to standard procedure
Heavy metals and
toxic substances
Organic solvents and
hydrocarbon
Substance with pH <5
and pH > 9

Stop the spill from spreading to other
areas b using sand to border it
36. Steps to be taken the moment mercury
spills occurs
Inform your teacher or the laboratory assistant about the accident
Make the spill site as the prohibited area
Sprinkle sulphur powder to cover up the
spill
Contact the Fire and Rescue Department for further action

ls such as acid, alkali and organic solvent.
40. 3. How would you manage solid wastes such has glass and
rubber in the laboratory?
Solid residue such as glass and rubber must be thrown in special
containers
4. Explain how would you test the presence of oxygen and
hydrogen gases
Oxygen gas – put a glowing wooden splinter into the test tube;
the glowing wooden splinter is rekindled.
Hydrogen gas – put a lighted wooden splinter at the mouth of
the test tube; a ‘pop’ sound is heard.
41. 5. Explain how you can get the most accurate reading in
titration
