10.0 GLOSSARY/APPENDICES

10.1 GLOSSARY OF TERMS USED IN SYLLABUS/SCIENCE PAPERS

It is hoped that the glossary (which is relevant only to science subjects) will prove helpful to candidates as a guide, i.e.itisneitherexhaustivenordefinitive.Theglossaryhasbeendeliberatelykeptbriefnotonlywithrespecttothenumber of terms included but also to the descriptions of their meanings. Candidates should appreciate that the meaning of a term must depend in part on its context.

3 State implies a concise answer, with little or no supporting argument, e.g. a numerical answer that can be obtained‘byinspection’.

4 Listrequiresanumberofpoints,generallyeachofoneword,withnoelaboration.Whereagivennumberofpointsisspecified,thisshouldnotbeexceeded.

Chemistry Syllabus Forms 5 - 6

5 Explain may imply reasoning or some reference to theory, depending on the context.

6 Describerequirescandidatestostateinwords(usingdiagramswhereappropriate)themainpointsofthetopics. It is often used with reference either to particular phenomena or to a particular experiment. In the former instance the term usually implies that the answer should include reference to (visual) observations associated with the phenomena.

In other contexts, describe and give an account of should be interpreted more generally, i.e. the candidate has greater discretion about the nature and the organisation of the material to be included in the answer. Describe and explain may be coupled in a similar way to state and explain.

7 Discussrequirescandidatestogiveacriticalaccountofthepointsinvolvedinthetopic.

8 Outlineimpliesbrevity,i.e.restrictingtheanswertogivingessentials.

9 Predictordeduceimpliesthatthecandidateisnotexpectedtoproducetherequiredanswerbyrecallbutby making a logical connection between other pieces of information. Such information may be wholly given in the questionormaydependonanswersextractedinanearlierpartofthequestion.

PRACTICAL GUIDELINES (PAPER 4)

The practical paper may include the following:

(i) A volumetric analysis problem, based on one set of titrations;

A knowledge of the following volumetric determination will be assumed: acids and alkalis using suitable indicators; iron (II),ethanedioicacid(anditssalts),bypotassiummanganate(VII);iodineandsodiumthiosulphate.Simpletitrationsinvolvingotherreagentsmayalsobesetbut,whereappropriate,sufficientworkingdetailswillbegiven.

(ii) Candidatesmayberequiredtocarryoutanexperimentthatinvolvesthedeterminationofsomequantity,e.g.the enthalpy change of a reaction or, the rate of a reaction. Such experiments will depend on the simple manipulation of usual laboratory apparatus.

(iii) Anobservationalprobleminwhichthecandidatewillbeaskedtoinvestigate,byspecifiedexperiments,anunknown substance. The substance may be an element, a compound or a mixture.

It will be assumed that candidates will be familiar with(i) the reactions of the following cations: NH4+; Mg2+; Al3+; Ca2+; Cr3+; Mn2+; Fe2+; Fe3+; Cu2+; Zn2+; Ba2+; Pb2+; (ii) thereactionsofthefollowinganions:CO32-;NO3-;NO2-;SO42-;SO32-;Cl-;Br-;I-;CrO42-;(iii) testsforthefollowinggases:NH3;CO2;Cl2;H2;O2;SO2,asdetailedinthequalitativeanalysisnoteswhichwillbeincludedinthequestionpaper.

The substances to be investigated may contain ions not included in the above list: in such cases, candidates will not be expected to identify the ions but only to draw conclusions of a general nature.

Candidatesshouldnotattempttests,otherthanthosespecified,onsubstances,exceptwhenitisappropriatetotestfor a gas. Exercisesrequiringaknowledgeofsimpleorganicreactions,e.g.test-tubereactionsindicatingthepresenceofunsaturated hydrocarbons, alcoholic, phenolic and carboxylic groups, may also be set, but this would be for the testing of observation skills and drawing general conclusions only.

CandidatesareNOTallowedtorefertonotebooks,textbooksoranyotherinformationinthePracticalexamination.

PracticalTechniques

The following notes are intended to give schools and candidates an indication of the accuracy that is expected in quantitativeexercisesandgeneralinstructionsforqualitativeexercises.

(a) Candidates should normally record burette readings to the nearest 0.05cm3 and they should ensure that they havecarriedoutasufficientnumberoftitrations,e.g.inanexperimentwithagoodend-point,atleasttwotitreswithin0.10cm3.

(b) Candidates should normally record: weighings to the nearest 0.01g, temperature readings to the nearest 0.1oC when using a thermometer with a precision of 0.2oC.

Chemistry Syllabus Forms 5 - 6

45

(c)Inqualitativeanalysisexercises,candidatesshoulduseapproximately1cmdepthofasolution(1-2cm3)foreachtest and add reagents gradually, ensuring good mixing, until no further change is seen. Candidates should indicate at what stage a change occurs, writing any deductions alongside the observation on which they are based. Answers should include details of colour changes, precipitates formed, the names and chemical tests for any gases evolved (equationsarenotrequired).

Marks for deductions or conclusions can only be gained if the appropriate observations are recorded. 10.2APPARATUSFORFORM5-6SCIENCEKIT

This list given below has been drawn up in order to give guidance to schools concerning the apparatus that are expected to be generally available for examination purposes. The list is not intended to be exhaustive: in particular, items(suchasBunsenburners,tripodsandglass-tubing)thatarecommonlyregardedasstandardequipmentinachemical laboratory are not included.
