This question was well  attempted by the candidates. In question 1 (a)( i & ii), majority of 
                      the candidates could describe the procedure used in conducting the experiment  and state 
                      the observations and results.  Also, in question 1 (b), most candidates were able to state 
                      the functions of specimen B(water) and specimen C (sodium carbonate) in the 
                      experiment. Further  to this, majority of the candidates were able to  state the precautions 
                      taken in carrying out the experiment.
