assessment of the practical work and project which have to be carried out by the school. 1.1.2 Some of the skills that should be developed in STPM Chemistry subject (e.g. handling
of apparatus, observation, interpretation of results, and planning) can only be fully acquired through practical work and project.
1.1.3 Continuous assessment of practical work and project in school throughout form six will
ensure that direct assessment of all the desired practical and scientific skills of students can be made.
1.1.4 The practical science assessment is carried out in schools with the following objectives:
(a) To establish a practical work assessment system which is fair, accurate and comprehensive;
(b) To improve the practical skills and the quality of practical work of students;
(c) To inculcate independence, teamwork spirit, scientific attitudes and critical thinking among students.
1.2 General Information 1.2.1 The teacher in charge of the school-based assessment of practical chemistry will be
provided with a softcopy of the the administration of practical chemistry assessment, practical work assessment guide and description of experiments.
1.2.2 Malaysian Examinations Council (MEC) will provide a softcopy of Teacher's and
which can be downloaded from MEC Portal (http://www.mpm.edu.my) during the first term of form six. MEC will send username and password to Principal of the school for the downloaded purposes. The school is expected to make the duplicate copies of the Student's Manual which contain experiments to be given to each student.
1.2.3 MEC has determined 13 compulsory experiments and one project to be carried out
by students which will be assessed by the teacher in three respective terms. 1.2.4 Experiments and project are to be carried out either individually or in groups as
recommended in the Table of Summary of Experiments and Project on pages 17. 1.2.5 The teacher is expected to prepare the experiments according to this manual. MEC
should be informed of any modifications made by using the Experiment Report Form (See Appendix B on page 51)
1.2.6 The recommended time to complete the practical works report and project report is as
recommended in the Table of Summary of Experiments and Project on pages 17. 1.2.7 The information on each experiment should be given to the students before the
experiment is carried out so that they can plan their practical work.

1.2.8 The teacher should ensure that a student has been given a chance to acquire a particular skill before the assessment of that skill is made. For this purpose, the teacher should carry out similar experiments before carrying out the compulsory experiments.
1.2.9 The assessment of experimental skills should be done while the student is carrying out
the experiment and also on the student The assessment for the project should be done according to the project report and the oral presentation made by students.
1.2.10 For a student who is absent for an experiment with reason, the teacher can fix another
date for the students to carry out the experiment. 1.2.11 Students may write their practical work and project reports in either English or Bahasa
Melayu. The practical work reports is to be submitted to the teacher on the same day the experiment is carried out unless otherwise stated. (Refer to the Table of Summary of Experiments and project on pages 17) Practical work reports which are not submitted
1.2.12 Practical work reports which can be completed at home are to be submitted to the
teacher not later than 3 days from the date of the experiment. A penalty of 2 marks is to be imposed for the reports submitted late to the teacher. Practical work reports which are submitted later than 7 days from the date mark.
1.2.13 The teacher is required to set the dateline for the submission of project in the specified
date at the end of third term. A penalty of 2 marks is to be imposed for the reports submitted late to the teacher.
1.2.14 The oral presentation for the project work should be carried out by the teachers after the
assessment of the project report of all students. If the teacher suggests that changes are required towards the project report after the oral presentation, the student needs to correct the project report.
1.2.15 For a student who has transferred to another school, the previous school is to send the
student Form which is partially completed and signed by the subject teacher, to the student
1.2.16 All practical work and project reports, and Student's Record Form are evidence; and
should be kept by the school and destroyed under secure condition 6 months after the release of the STPM result in the following year.
1.3 Recording of Assessment Marks 1.3.1 Recording of the practical assessment marks of each student is to be done by the subject
teacher on Student's Record Form (See Appendix A on page 50). 1.3.2 For each student, the teacher is to record the date of the experiment, the experiment
number and mark given to each of the skills for the 13 compulsory experiments in the Student's Record Form. Marks are to be awarded in accordance with the practical work assessment guide on pages 4. The teacher will also record the date of oral presentation and mark given to each skill and component for the project in the Student's Record Form. Marks are to be awarded in accordance with the project assessment guide on pages 9.

1.9 Preparation of Solutions
For a 0.05 mol dm-3 solution of sodium ethanedioate, Na2C2O4, with a relative formula mass of 134.0, its concentration in g dm-3 can be prepared using the following equation.
Concentration in g dm 3 = molarity relative formula mass = 0.05 134 = 6.7
Standard solutions of sulphuric acid, glacial ethanoic acid, and ammonia are prepared as follows:
Step 1
By using the formula: Density = volumemass and the specifications given in the table below,
the volumes of reagents required for dilution can be calculated.

Step 2 For more accurate work, these solutions need to be standardised using a standard solution of
sodium carbonate, Na2CO3. A standard solution of sodium carbonate can be prepared in the following way:
A little anhydrous sodium carbonate is dried in an evaporating dish to eliminate all traces of moisture. The substance is then cooled in a desiccator. The amount required (5.3 g dm 3 for a 0.05 mol dm 3 solution) is then weighed, dissolved and made into a solution in a standard flask. Acid solutions are then standardised using this solution.
Other concentrations of acid solutions can be prepared by diluting certain volumes of the acids and standardising them with the standard solution of sodium carbonate.
1.9.1 Standard solution of sodium thiosulphate Standard solutions of sodium thiosulphate, Na2S2O3.5H2O, (relative molecular mass
248.0) cannot be prepared directly because of its salt's nature of absorbing water. For accurate work, a solution which is prepared directly will not give good results, e.g. problems which involve the determination of relative molecular mass or relative atomic mass. Prepared solutions of thiosulphate are normally standardised with potassium iodate, which will react with iodide in acid solution to liberate iodine. Potassium iodate is used because this compound is available in a pure state.
1.9.2 Standard solution of Fe2+ ions To prepare this solution, use FeSO4.(NH4)2SO4.6H2O (relative molecular mass 392.0),
not FeSO4.7H2O. Iron(II) sulphate is easily oxidised by air. In the preparation of this solution, the double salt FeSO4.(NH4)2SO4.6H2O needs to be dissolved in dilute sulphuric acid and made up to the required volume with distilled or deionised water.
1.9.3 Iodine solution Dissolve 20.0 g of iodate-free potassium iodide in 30 40 cm3 distilled water. Weigh
about 12.7 g iodine and transfer it to the 1 dm3 volumetric flask containing concentrated potassium iodide solution. Shake the mixture until all the iodine has dissolved. Make up the solution to the mark with distilled water.
1.9.4 Hydrogen peroxide solution
The strength of a solution of hydrogen peroxide is usually mentioned in volumes , e.g: 20 - volume hydrogen peroxide, 100 - volume hydrogen peroxide, etc. For a 20
- volume solution, 1 cm3 of hydrogen peroxide will decompose to yield 20 cm3 of oxygen at s.t.p.
2H2O2 2H2O + O2
68 g of hydrogen peroxide liberates 22.4 litres of oxygen at s.t.p.
1 g of hydrogen peroxide liberates 68
422. litres of oxygen at s.t.p.
1 litre of 20-volume hydrogen peroxide liberates 20 litres of oxygen at s.t.p.
1 litre of 20-volume hydrogen peroxide contains 64.22
20= 60.8 g.
RESTRICTED CHEMISTRY PRACTICAL STPM 2014
21 RESTRICTED
Therefore, to prepare a 0.1 mol dm-3 solution of H2O2, about 5.6 cm3 of 20 - volume hydrogen peroxide must be diluted to make 1 litre. Other concentrations can be prepared by diluting suitable volumes of 20 - volume H2O2. Hydrogen peroxide solutions cannot be kept for long periods of time because of their strong tendency to decompose. Hence, hydrogen peroxide solutions for volumetric work must be standardised with a standard solution of potassium manganate(VII) before use.
1.9.5 Iodine - potassium iodide solution (Iodoform Test) Iodine dissolves sparingly in water. Its solution is prepared by adding 20.0 g potassium
iodide and 10.0 g iodine in 80 cm3 distilled water. The mixture is stirred to form a deep brown solution.
1.9.6 Fehling's solution can be prepared as follows:
(a) Dissolve 17.32 g copper(II) sulphate pentahydrate in 200 cm3 of distilled water and dilute the solution to 250 cm3.
(b) Dissolve 86.5 g of sodium potassium tartarate and 35 g sodium hydroxide in
100 cm3 of distilled water and dilute the solution to 250 cm3.
To prepare the Fehlings solution, mix 2.5 cm3 3
immediately before use. 1.9.7 Tollen's reagent Add a drop of 2.5 mol dm 3 of sodium hydroxide solution to a 2 cm3 of 0.3 mol dm 3 of
aqueous silver nitrate in a test tube. Add 3.0 mol dm 3 of ammonia drop by drop until all the precipitate (silver oxide) dissolves.
1.9.8 2,4-Dinitrophenylhy agent) Dissolving 3 g of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine in 15 cm3 concentrated sulphuric acid.
This solution is added with stirring to 20 cm3 of distilled water and 70 cm3 of 95% ethanol and filtered.
1.9.9 Indicator solutions
(a) Methyl orange Dissolve 1 g of the solid in 1 dm3 of water.
(b) Screened methyl orange Dissolve 1 g of methyl orange and 1.5 g of p-xylene cyanol in 500 cm3 of
alcohol and dilute the solution to 1 dm3 with water.
(c) Phenolphthalein Dissolve 1 g of the solid in 500 cm3 of alcohol and dilute the solution to 1 dm3
with water.
(d) Starch indicator (usually 1%) Make a paste of 1 g of starch with cold water, then pour boiling water and make up to 100 cm3.

Experiment 13 Topic: Technique-Synthesis Purpose: To prepare a sample of 2-(4-hydroxyphenylazo)benzoic acid Materials: KA 1 is solid 2-aminobenzoic acid.
KA 2 is 1.70 mol dm 3 hydrochloric acid.
KA 3 is solid sodium nitrite.
KA 4 is a mixture of 0.30 mol dm 3 phenol and 1.35 mol dm 3 sodium hydroxide.
KA 5 is 4.00 mol dm 3 hydrochloric acid. Introduction: Azo dyes are easily prepared by the coupling of diazotised aniline with either a phenol or
aniline. In this experiment, 2-aminobenzoic acid is diazotised and coupled with phenol in an alkaline solution to give the salt of an azo dye. Acid is added to produce the azo dye of 2-(4-hydroxyphenylazo)benzoic acid.
