1 You are going to investigate the action of four different concentrations of an enzyme solution on milk protein. Milk contains a protein that makes it look white (opaque). When the protein is broken down, the milk becomes clear. (a) Read through the whole question and then complete the last heading in Table 1.1. [1] (b) (i) • Label three syringes E (for enzyme), M (for milk) and W (for water). • Label two test-tubes A and B. • Use syringe E to add 5.0 cm3 enzyme solution to test-tube A. • Use the same syringe to add 2.0 cm3 enzyme solution to test-tube B. • Use syringe M to add 2.0 cm3 milk to test-tube B and immediately start the stopclock. • Using the stirring rod, mix the contents of test-tube B well. • Time how long it takes for the protein to break down by observing test-tube B until the milk is clear. Use test-tube A as a comparison to help you. Record your result to the nearest whole second in row two, column four of Table 1.1. [1] (ii) • Rinse out test-tube B. • Use syringe W to add 0.5 cm3 distilled water to test-tube B. • Use syringe E to add 1.5 cm3 enzyme solution to test-tube B and mix well. • Use syringe M to add 2.0 cm3 milk to test-tube B and immediately start the stopclock. • Using the stirring rod, mix the contents of test-tube B well. • Time how long it takes for the protein to break down by observing test-tube B until the milk is clear. Use test-tube A as a comparison to help you. Record, in Table 1.1, your result to the nearest whole second. • Rinse out test-tube B. • Repeat experiment (ii) twice more, using the volumes of distilled water and enzyme solution shown in Table 1.1.

2 Notes for use in Qualitative Analysis for this question are printed on page 12. You are going to investigate the temperature change in a reaction and identify compounds H and J. H is an oxide. J is a nitrate salt. (a) (i) You must wear safety glasses for this experiment. • Place 15 cm3 distilled water into a beaker. • Measure the temperature of this water and record, in Table 2.1, the temperature T1 to the nearest 0.5 °C. • Add the sample of solid H to the water in the beaker. • Stir well and record, in Table 2.1, the highest temperature T2 of the mixture to the nearest 0.5 °C. • Keep the mixture for (a)(ii), (a)(iii) and (b)(ii).

3 You are going to investigate how the resistance R of a filament lamp and the power P of the filament lamp depend upon the current I flowing through it. The circuit shown in Fig. 3.1 has been set up for you. V A resistance wire C 0 100 S metre rule power supply Fig. 3.1 (a) (i) • Connect the crocodile clip C to the end S (0 cm) of the resistance wire. • Switch on. • Use the voltmeter and the ammeter to measure the potential difference V across the lamp and the current I flowing through the lamp.
