if we only heat, wouldnt there be steam on the test tube that would be called condensation?

or is it the condensation that occurs after heating has been stopped?
no no no! this is how examiners can tell which centres dont do practicals with their students. have you ever tried to heat a hydrated salt? in lab? (i havent either but ive seen a vid lol)
what happens is that "water condenses on the cooler upper regions of the test tube". even while you're heating.
<half an hour later>
ive been looking for a video to show u for the past half hour, but i cant find any. really sorry. dont bother checking youtubbe or metacafe-i checked both. whatver... do it at home maybe... if u have a test tube and hydrated copper (II) sulphate crystals. lol... maybe you could make some other crystals? (most ionic compounds' crystals are hydrated)

paper 6 only includes the topics from the core content. so petrochemicals and polymers is not at all going tome. Basics on mole can possible come. you need to know the covalent and ionic bonding because it is the basics of chemistry.

Ok. First you have to react it with HCl. Then filter the solution. The solution will contain CaCl2 which is soluble. If any impurities are present they will appear as residue. Now the ques is for 6 marks so you should put in practical details like use measuring cylinder to add 5 cm3 of HCl and wait till production of effervescence stops  before fitering to ensure that all CaCO3 has reacted and the moles of HCl used must be at least double that of the egg shell . And use filter paper and funnel to filter. wet the filter paper so that it becomes easier to filter. Also the filtrate can be left to evaporate and the crystals that are firmed can be observed. If only CaCl2 is present, pure crystals will be present.
Also, the reaction between CaCO3 and HCl is exothermic so you need a test tube holder and have to be careful not to burn yourself. And HCl is corrosive-care required.

depends on the question cause i just did a very similar question and it asked me to draw a smooth line graph. Turns out i had to draw a straight line with a ruler
