A typical practical paper contains 2-3 experiments (e.g. titration + QA; speed of reaction + QA) and 1 planning question.
| Qualitative Analysis | Chemical Calculations |
| Acids & Bases | Salt Preparation |
| Redox | Metals |
| Speed of Reaction | Energy Changes |
| Methods of Purification |
Types of Experiments
- Titration (Acid-base/ Redox/ Iodometric)
- Calorimetry (Thermometric Titration)
- Qualitative analysis
- Speed of reaction (Clock/ Volume of Gas)
Planning Question
- Planning question requires students to describe an experimental procedure to achieve the objective(s) set.
- In the procedure, the apparatus for each measurement must be clearly stated. A diagram (labelled) may be drawn to illustrate the experimental setup.
- For most questions, the data to be collected must be shown, followed by a discussion of how the data can be processed to achieve the objective(s).
- For questions where a conclusion is needed, the conclusion must directly address the objective set.
