Can someone please tell me what a vacuum pump does ?
I don't really get it and my exam's tomorrow so I'm kinda freaked out  ..

It sucks all the air in making the container a vacuum (just like on the moon)
Vacuum is an empty is space with no air molecules

Can someone answer this question please?

"calcium carbonate is found in egg shells. All carbonates react with HCL to form chlorides. Calcium carbonate is insoluble in water but calcium chloride is soluble. Most impurities in egg shells are insoluble. Plan an experiment to find out if egg shells are 100% calcium carbonate"

This is the last question in Nov 2000 paper 6 and it is worth 6 marks.

Take a sample of an egg shell, in a beaker or conical flask preferably. Add to it, excess dilute HCl, and warm to speed up the reaction. Allow calcium carbonate to react with HCl. All the calcium carbonate will produce calcium chloride and CO2 Which will evolve. Add the mixture to water. The calcium chloride will dissolve. Impurities are insoluble. Filter the mixture. If there is a residue, it is an impurity, as is insoluble, proving that the shell is NOT 100% Calcium Carbonate.

Thanks again A@di

Anyways, I have studied until now:

1. Experimental Techniques
2. Stoichiometry
3. Electricity and Chemistry
4. Chemical Changes
5. Chemical Reactions
6. Acids, Bases and Salts

Are there any other topics I should study for tomorrow (Paper 6), and is there any topic from those that I don't need to focus on much while I'm doing my revision now?

This is the last question in Nov 2000 paper 6 and it is worth 6 marks.

Take an egg shell and weigh it. Mass of egg shell = Xg

React the egg shell with HCl = Will produce Calcium chloride and CO2.

Filter. Residue = Insoluble impurities and CaCO3

Weigh the Calcium Chloride. Mass of calcium chloride = Yg

Mass of CaCO3 + Impurities = Zg

CaCO3 (100g) --> CaCl2 (111g) + CO2 + H2O

111g of CaCl2 --> 100 grams of CaCO3

Yg of CaCl2    ---> W grams of CaCO3.

% of CaCO3 in egg shels = W grams/Z grams * 100.

Crush the berries. Mix them with water and warm the mixture. Stir. Filter.

Try the indicator on acid/base and check if it showing different colors.

cathode is the negative eletreod which attract CATIONS WHO ARE +
