5. (a) Day and night alternate.
(b) There is full moon on the 15th day of every lunar month.
(c) In the Northern Hemisphere, it is hot during July and August but cold during December and
January.
(d) Grass is green.
(e) Water flows downhill.
(Other answers may be given.)
6. a. Volume of oxygen increases with increasing temperature.
b. Gas pressure also affects the volume of a gas. To study the effect of temperature on the volume of
a gas, we must keep other factors constant.
c. Repeat the experiment with other gases and see whether the pattern is still found.
7. a. (i) The light bulb is burnt out
(ii) The fuse is burnt out.
(iii) Someone else has switched off the light switch.
(iv) There is a breakdown of electricity supply in the area at that moment.
b. (i) Replace with a new light bulb.
(ii) Check the switch box turn on the circuit breaker or replace with a new fuse.
(iii) Check (or turn on) the light switch.
(iv) Look out from the window see whether there is also blackout in the nearby houses.
8. a. Observable change: perceived by eyes, hands, nose or ears;
Visible change: perceived by eyes only, thus it is only part of observable change
b. There is no visible change on mixing dilute hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide solution two
colourless solutions are mixed to give a colourless solution; but there is an observable change
the resulting solution becomes warm. (Other examples may be given)

a clear solution of calcium hydroxide (limewater) is formed.

9. (a) Sodium chloride consists of a giant ionic lattice of Na+ and Cl ions. Strong ionic bonds have to be
overcome for it to melt. It thus has a high melting point.
(b) Carbon dioxide is a covalent compound with a simple molecular structure. By overcoming the
weak intermolecular forces, the discrete molecules can be easily separated. This accounts for the
low melting point and boiling point. Silicon(IV) oxide, however, is a covalent compound with a
giant covalent structure. The atoms are held in a giant network by strong covalent bonds. To melt
the solid, very many strong covalent bonds have to be broken. This requires a lot of heat energy.
This accounts for the high melting point.
(c) There are only weak van der Waals' forces between N2 molecules. Thus nitrogen has low melting
point and boiling point. Within each N2 molecule, the two nitrogen atoms are joined by strong triple
covalent bond. Therefore it is very difficult to break the molecule into atoms.
10. (a) E. Electrical conductor when solid and liquid.
(b) B, D. Non-conductors of electricity when solid, conductors when liquid. (Note: Not all ionic
compounds are soluble in water. In this case, D is insoluble in water.)

(2) Saucepans: very good conductor of heat, non-poisonous, malleable, corrosion resistant

(4) Window frames: corrosion resistant, strong
(Other answers may be given)
23. (a) Strong, malleable, ductile, corrosion resistant, non-poisonous.
(b) (i) No. When used to transmit wave or digital signals, optical fibres can replace copper wires.
However, optical fibres are non-conductors of electricity. They therefore cannot replace
copper wires to transfer electric current.
(ii) Aluminium could be used as a cheap substitute for copper in making electrical wires.
However, electrical conductivity of aluminium is not as good as copper.
(c) The government may be reluctant to make more 'copper' coins. Besides, people may keep copper
coins instead of spending them.

25. A metal will be recycled only if it is economical to do so. Gold is very expensive. On the other hand, the
cost of extracting iron from iron ore is low. In comparison, the cost of recycling iron from scrap iron may
be even higher in some cases.
26. (a) The factors to be considered in each case are:
(i) no wind-borne pollution B has advantages (ii) and (iii) only.
(ii) development area payment C has advantage (iii) only.
(iii) deep water port. D has advantages (ii) and (iii) only.
A has all the 3 advantages. E has none of the advantages.
(b) A is the best site.
(c) The aluminium refinery should be situated near electric power stations.
(d) A metal company will recycle used metal only if it is economical to do so. The company has to
work out the total cost of collecting the scrap, transporting it, sorting the metal out, melting it down,
getting rid of impurities, and cost of storage etc.
27. (a) (There is no specific answer for question 27.)
28. (a) 50 years
(b) (i) Reusing copper articles.
(ii) Recycling used copper.
(iii) Replacing copper by other materials.
(c) There are probably metal ores deep in the Earth's crust that we do not yet know about. With
advanced modern technology (e.g. satellite surveying), it is possible to detect and mine such ores.

8. A metal higher in the metal reactivity series corrodes faster (except when there is a protective layer
formed, e.g. Al, Zn)
9. (a) Oxygen (air), water
(b) (i) No or little oxygen
(ii) No oxygen, no water
(iii) Little water (very dry climate)
(c) Sea water; it contains a high concentration of salts (e.g. sodium chloride), thus more conducting.
10. (a) To provide a clean iron surface.
(b) A deeper blue colour indicates more Fe2+(aq) ions produced and a faster rate of rusting.
(c) Rusting in A the fastest (salt present, solution more conducting); B and C quite the same (no salt
present).
11. (a) Anodizing
(b) Oiling
(c) Chromium-plating
(d) Oiling
(e) Painting
(f) Use of stainless steel
(g) Use of gold electrical contacts
(h) Chromium-plating
(i) Chromium-plating
12. (a) Protective Al2O3 layer formed on surface by itself.
(b) Exposed iron still protected from rusting; zinc, being more reactive, loses electrons to iron,
preventing formation of Fe2+(aq) ions (sacrificial protection).
(c) Exposed iron is not protected and rusts even faster than no tin was plated. Iron, being more

reactive, loses electrons to tin, thus encouraging formation of Fe2+(aq) ions and speeding up
rusting.
(d) No, Zn2+ ions are poisonous.
(e) Stainless steel is too expensive for making large objects.

14. (a) (i) Water and air.
(ii) Water, air, sodium chloride and mud.
(iii) Yes.
(iv) Paint coatings exclude most of air and water from the iron surface.
(b) Car exhaust gases are very hot, consisting mainly of water vapour, carbon dioxide and nitrogen
dioxide. Thus high temperature and presence of acid solutions make the exhaust pipe rust more
rapidly.
(c) (i) Ceramic or plastic
(ii) Aluminium
15. (a) Slower. Fresh water contains much less salts than sea water. Salt solution speeds up rusting.
Zinc, magnesium.
(b) Zinc, magnesium.
(c) Zinc or magnesium, being more reactive than iron, protects the iron from rusting by sacrificial
protection.
(d) Connect the steel legs to the negative terminal of a d.c. source.
(e) No. Stainless steel is expensive and is usually only used for making small objects.
16. (a) Option 1: Another new bridge will need to be built after 12 years.
Minimum total cost
= ($ 8 000 000 + $ 800 000) 2
= $ 17 600 000
Option 2: Six times of painting will be required.
Total cost
= $ 8 000 000 + $ 800 000 x 6
= $ 12 800 000
Option 3: Total cost = $ 11 500 000 + $ 800 000

= $ 12 300 000
(b) Option 3, which is the cheapest one.
