44 Sieb grows pepper plants.

peppers

Sieb wants his plants to produce more peppers. He decides to add different fertilisers
to the soil.
The fertilisers that he uses contain nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in different
proportions.
His friend says that to get more peppers, Sieb should use a fertiliser lower in nitrogen,
and higher in both phosphorus and potassium.
These are the five fertilisers (A to E) that Sieb uses.

Proportions in each fertiliser

Fertiliser
Nitrogen Phosphorus Potassium
A 1 1 1
B 1 2 2
C 2 1 1
D 2 1 2
E 2 2 1

Sieb fills thirty plant pots with soil. In each tray of six pots he uses one of the fertilisers
and puts in a pepper plant.
Below is an example of one of the trays.

44 Rakesh investigates the loss of thermal energy from a cup using the equipment
below. He fills the cup with hot water and records the temperature at the start and
then every five minutes.

He wants to find out whether cotton wool or aluminium foil are good insulating materials.
Rakesh repeats the test with a cup wrapped in cotton wool and then with a cup
wrapped in aluminium foil.
His results are shown in the table.

42 Caitlin knows that when a metal reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid there is an
increase in temperature.

DO NOT WRITE IN THIS AREA

Caitlin is provided with samples of four metals, W, X, Y and Z. She investigates their
reactivity by measuring the rise in temperature when each of the metals reacts with
dilute hydrochloric acid.
She makes a prediction about the link between the reactivity of the metal and the
rise in temperature and then plans her investigation.
The diagram shows the apparatus Caitlin used.

dilute hydrochloric acid

She uses this method for each of the four metals:

• pour 20 cm3 of dilute hydrochloric acid into the beaker

• record the starting temperature of the acid
• add the metal to the acid

38 The word equation for the reaction taking place during photosynthesis in plants is

carbon dioxide + water → glucose + oxygen
Emily decides to investigate if there is any relationship between temperature and the
rate of photosynthesis.
Emily uses a plant called Elodea that grows in ponds.
The diagram shows the apparatus she uses.

39 A solution of copper sulfate can be made by reacting solid copper carbonate with
dilute sulfuric acid.

DO NOT WRITE IN THIS AREA

During the reaction bubbles of carbon dioxide gas are produced.
Eight students plan to investigate the reaction between copper carbonate and dilute
sulfuric acid.
They are provided with

total mass of plastic container and

copper carbonate = 10.0 g dilute sulfuric acid

DO NOT WRITE IN THIS AREA

DO NOT WRITE IN THIS AREA
This is their method:
• place a known volume of dilute sulfuric acid in a beaker
• add a spatula of copper carbonate to the acid
• add further small amounts of copper carbonate until the reaction ends and
excess copper carbonate is seen in the beaker
• weigh the plastic container and remaining copper carbonate.
