Concepts Understanding Questions (10 marks)

For each of the following statements, point out ( ) whether the description in brackets is correct or not. If the description is CORRECT, write TRUE. If the description is WRONG, write down the CORRECT DESCRIPTION. Example: We need oxygen tokeep us alive. True Oxygen is a colourless and odourlesssolid. . (gas) Carbon dioxide turns red hydrogencarbonate indicator yellow The site for exchange of gases in human body is in thecells. Soda lime is a chemical used to absorbnitrogen. Green plant only carry out respirationat night only. We can use alcoholto test for starch solution. Food contains chemical energy . When food is burnt, energy is released to support our daily activities. 7. 8. 9. Oxygen passes through the air sac to the blood of the capillaries byrespiration. There is a small number of electrons in a good conductor that allows the flow of electric current The number of free atoms inside the copper wire are larger, so its conductivity is higher. 10. All matter is made up of atoms. Each atom should have a centre calledparticle. Section D 1. Structural Questions (50 marks)

Read the following article and answer the following questions. A chemical leakage accident happened in Kwun Tong yesterday morning. As there were fumes coming out from the chemical wastes in a rubbish truck suddenly, the driver of the truck tried to splash water to the wastes. The chemicals reacted with the water and caught a fire, producing much more fumes. Firemen used dry sand to absorb the water and examined the chemicals on arrival. No one was hurt in the accident. (a) List the THREE necessary conditions for burning. (3 marks)

(b) Write down TWO tools for putting out fire ( ) mentioned in the article. Explain each of their principles() behind. (4 marks) (c) State another TWO types of tools for putting out fire. (2 marks)

In an experimental lesson, John received three test tubes which are filled up with different types of gas. The three gases are all found in air and he carried out three test to identify each of the gases. The results are shown below. Test tubes Testing chemical/method Put the glowing Add a few drops splint into the Add a few drops of test tube of lime water hydrogencarbon ate indicator 1 2 3 Relights Goes out Goes out No change No change No change Turns yellow No change

What do you think is the cause of serious air pollution in that area. (2 marks) (c) If API is over 100, which TWO kinds of patients affect the most? (2 marks) (d) Some people claims that even if there is no air pollution, oxygen on earth will be used up one day by respiration. Do you agree? Explain. (3 marks) [Total :12 marks] 5. (a) Read the following article and answer the following questions. Electricity is a basic part of nature and it is one of our most widely used forms of energy. We usually get electricity from the conversion of other sources of energy, like coal, natural gas, oil, nuclear fuels and other natural resources. Before electricity generation began over 100 years ago, houses were lit with oil lamps, food was cooled in iceboxes, and rooms were warmed by wood-burning or coal-burning stoves. In the mid 1800s, Thomas Edison changed everyone's life he invented the electric light bulb. Edison's invention brings indoor lighting to our homes by using electricity.

(i) Give one example to support the saying that Electricity is a basic part of nature. (2 marks) (ii) The article says We usually get electricity from the conversion of other sources of energy, like coal, natural gas, oil, nuclear fuels and other natural resources. List TWO examples of Other natural resources of that can be used to generate electricity. (4 marks)
