The magnesium ribbon is cleaned with sand paper to remove the layer of
magnesium oxide on the surface.
The crucible must cover with its lid to prevent the white fumes of
magnesium oxide of escaping.
The processes of heating, cooling and weighing are repeated until
a constant mass is obtained.

Question
12 (c) (i)

In the first 3 minutes, the temperature of substance X will decrease from

95oC to 83oC.

Constant temperature at 83 oC for 3 minutes.

The temperature decreases again after 83 oC
Able to make the correct inference.
Suggested answer:

12 (c) (ii)

Temperature decreases because heat is released to the surrounding.

Temperature is contant because heat released to the surrounding is
balanced by the heat released when bonds are formed.

The freezing process is at 83 oC // solid and liquid X exist together

Suggested answer:
Freezing point is the constant temperature at 83 oC even though
substance X is let to cool to room remperature.
