2 0653/52/M/J/16 © UCLES 2016 1 You are going to investigate the food content of peas and sweetcorn. (a) (i) Complete the second row in Table 1.1 to show the food group that can be identified by each of the tests. [2] (ii) Procedure • Label three test-tubes A, B and C. • Remove the outer skin (testa) from each of the 15 peas provided. • Gently crush five peas in a beaker using the glass stirring rod and transfer to one of the test-tubes. • Repeat this two more times so that each test-tube contains five crushed peas. • Add Benedict’s solution to a depth of approximately 2 cm to test-tube A. Using a clean stirring rod, mix well. • Place in a hot water-bath for a few minutes. Continue with the rest of part (a) while you are waiting. • Add biuret solution to a depth of approximately 2 cm to test-tube B. Using a clean stirring rod, mix well. • Add a few drops of iodine solution to test-tube C. Using a clean stirring rod, mix well. • Record your observations in Table 1.1. [2] (iii) Repeat the procedure in (ii) using sweetcorn kernels. You will need to remove the outer skins of the sweetcorn. [2] (iv) Explain why you need to crush the peas and sweetcorn before carrying out the food tests. …[1]

You are provided with: distilled water ammonia solution barium chloride solution silver nitrate solution limewater (a) Identifying the cation Make a solution of a small amount of solid Y in distilled water in a test-tube. Add ammonia solution to a quarter of a test-tube of solution Y until no further change. Record all observations. Identify the cation in solid Y. observations … … … cation in solid Y is … [3] (b) Identifying the anion in X (i) Place solid X in the hard glass test-tube to a depth of 2 cm. Using a delivery tube, connect the hard glass test-tube to a test-tube one quarter full of limewater. Hold the test-tubes in the clamps provided. Draw a labelled diagram of this apparatus connected together. There is no need to draw the stands, clamps or bosses. [2]

Stop heating when there is no further change in the limewater and immediately remove the delivery tube from the limewater. Record your observations for both test-tubes and identify the anion in X. observations … … anion in X is … [2] (c) Identifying the anions in Y and Z Make a solution of solid Y in distilled water. Split the solution into two portions. To one portion add barium chloride solution. To the other portion add silver nitrate solution. Record in Table 2.1 your observations and identify the anion in Y. Repeat the procedure for solid Z. Table 2.1 solution of Y solution of Z barium chloride solution silver nitrate solution anion is … [3]

Beaker P has a layer of insulation wrapped around it, but has no lid. Beaker Q has a lid, but no insulation. –10 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 110°C –10 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 110°C layer of insulation thermometer hot water beaker P beaker Q lid Fig. 3.1 (a) (i) Procedure • Pour 200 cm3 of hot water into beaker P. • Place the thermometer into the water. When the reading stops rising, measure the temperature T of the hot water and start the stopwatch. Record, in Table 3.1, this temperature at time t = 0.
