CHEMISTRY (Intermediate Grade).

Monday, June 17th, 1912. - Afternoon, 2.30 to 4.30.

Sections A and B are alternative, and no Candidate may attempt questions in more than one Section.

SECTION A (ON SYLLABUS A).

A 1. Describe an experiment which has for its object the measurement of the volume of a gas evolved from a solid under known conditions. Make a sketch of the apparatus employed.

(30) A 2. How would you prepare from concentrated nitric acid samples of nitrous oxide, nitric oxide, and oxygen respectively? State briefly how you would distinguish between these gases. (40) A 3. Make lists of gases which are heavier and lighter than air respectively, and describe one method of determining the density of a gas relatively to air. (30) A 4. From what sources can carbon be obtained, and how? Name as many varieties of carbon as possible, and give some idea of the degree of purity of each.

(30) A 5. What are the general laws governing the solubility in water of gases, liquids, and solids respectively? Give examples illustrating these laws. (30) A 6. For what practical purposes is oil of vitriol used, and what part does the acid play in each case? (40)

SECTION B (ON SYLLABUS B).

B1. What experiments would you make to find out if muddy water contains dissolved matter? (15) B 2. Explain in detail how you would proceed to make a solution of oil of vitriol with its own weight of water, and the observations you would make during the process. (15) B 3. Certain substances when ignited in the air increase in weight, while others similarly heated lose weight. Give examples of each kind, and state in all cases to what the increase or loss in weight is due.
