Extra Tips for Paper 4541/3

In previous years, SPM Chemistry Paper 3 (2004-2009) has comprises of 2-3 questions with the last question typically comprise of (Planning of Experiment-13 marks).

SPM 2003 3 questions (No.3 Hardness of iron and steel or Resistance to rusting of iron and steel) SPM 2004 3 questions (No.3 -Carbon Compound: Esters) SPM 2005 3 questions (No.3 Choose one: 5/4/12

The question will comprise of the following part such as: a)Statement of the problem (2003, 2005, 2007, 2009)
b)Aim of experiment (2004, 2006, 2008, 2010) c)All the variables (2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008,2009, 2010) d) Statement of the hypothesis (2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010) e)List of substances and apparatus (2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010) f)Procedure for the experiment (2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010) g)Tabulation of data (2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 5/4/12 2008, 2009, 2010)

How to answer the question?

(a) Statement of the problem: It always must be a question and ended with question mark. Read the question well and you will find it in the hint in the question.
Start

your statement of the problem with How does manipulated variable affect responding variable? or Does increasing/decreasing manipulated variable increase/decrease the responding variable?

 b)

Aim of experiment: It always must be a statement and ended with full stop.
Start

your aim of experiment with To compare / To investigate / To study

 (c)

All the variables: List out all the variables and separate each variable in the following sequence.
Manipulated

variable: (axis-x values) Responding variable: (axis-y values) Constant variable:

 d)

Statement of the hypothesis: It always must be a statement and ended with full stop.

The manipulated variable, the higher/lower/increase/decrease responding variable note: Must follow the sequence (always start with manipulated variable and follow by responding variable).

 e)

List of substances and apparatus: Always separate substance and apparatus even though this is in one section. Must list everything completely to get 3 marks!
Substances:

(the same meaning with materials in PEKA experiments) note: Solution: try to give the concentration of the solution (always in the range of 0.1 1.0 mol dm-3) and concentrated solution (>1.0 mol dm-3)

Apparatus:

try to list as complete as possible (everything that can be reused in the experiment)

Example: Stop

watch measuring cylinder beaker retort stand conical flask filter funnel trough forceps

 f)

Procedure of the experiment: This is the hardest part to get full marks (3 marks). You need to write the procedure as complete as possible which means all steps are to be written in detail. recommend the sentence should be written in passive form sentence (same in PEKA) and it can be present or past tense (no penalty). And try to uniform it. From the previous SPM Paper 3 record, there is no penalty if you write in active form sentence

 g)

Tabulation of data:

This

is the easiest part to get one mark, as long as you draw a table (empty table / box), you will be given at least one mark. Remember to write unit in the manipulated variable column and responding variable column!
