QUESTION ONE (20 marks)
You are required to use a natural indicator to test whether different solutions are acidic, basic, or neutral. You
are provided with solution X (a natural indicator), and test solutions labeled A, B, C, D, and E. Assume
Solution X is prepared from red cabbage or hibiscus flowers.
Procedure:
1. Obtain approximately 5 cm³ of solution X.
2. Test a known acidic solution (like lemon juice or vinegar) with a few drops of solution X. Observe and
record the colour change of the indicator in the acidic solution.
3. Test a known basic solution (like soap solution or baking soda solution) with a few drops of solution X.
Observe and record the colour change of the indicator in the basic solution.
4. Test clean water with a few drops of solution X. Observe and record the colour change of the indicator
in a neutral solution.
5. Add a few drops of solution X to approximately 5 cm³ of each of the test solutions A to E, one at a time.
Observe and record the colour change in the Table below.
6. Based on the colour changes observed with known acidic, basic, and neutral solutions, draw a
conclusion for each test solution (A to E) in the table.
Record your observations and conclusions in the table below. (10 marks for table)

QUESTION TWO (10 marks)
You are provided with a liquid (e.g., cooking oil) and apparatus to measure its mass and volume. You are
required to determine the density of the liquid.
You are provided with the following:
a) Beaker or small container
b) Measuring cylinder
c) Liquid Y (e.g., cooking oil)
d) Weighing scale or beam balance
Procedure:
1. Measure and record the mass of the empty beaker/container.
2. Using the measuring cylinder, measure approximately 40 cm³ of Liquid Y and pour it into the
beaker/container. Record the exact volume of Liquid Y.
3. Measure and record the mass of the beaker/container with Liquid Y.
4. Calculate the mass of Liquid Y.
5. Calculate the density of Liquid Y using the formula: Density = Mass / Volume.
(a) Record your measurements: (i) Mass of empty beaker/container = ________________________ g (2
marks) (ii) Exact volume of Liquid Y (V) = ________________________ cm³ (2 marks) (iii) Mass of
beaker/container + Liquid Y = ________________________ g (2 marks)
(b) Calculate the mass of Liquid Y (M). Show your working. (2 marks)
