O-LEVEL CHEMISTRY PRACTICAL

We provide A-Level / H2 and O-Level Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Science (Physics/Chemistry/Biology) Practical training for private / school candidates and homeschoolers, for both local (eg. H2, Singapore-Cambridge) and international exams (CIE, IGCSE). School candidates are also welcome.

MOE/SEAB SYLLABUS FOR O-LEVEL CHEMISTRY PRACTICAL

Paper 3 (Practical) is weighted to 20% of the assessment.

Candidates are expected to have been exposed to a range of topics and experimental techniques such as:

1. Titration, e.g. acid-base titration (with suitable indicators such as methyl orange, screened methyl orange,
and thymolphthalein). Other types of titrations may also be required, and where appropriate, sufficient
working details will be given.
2. Speeds of reaction that may involve measuring of quantities, e.g. temperature, volume, length, mass or time
measurements
3. Experiments involving separation techniques such as simple paper chromatography, filtration and distillation
4. Salt preparation
5. Gas collection
6. Qualitative inorganic analysis involving an element, a compound or a mixture, including displacement
reactions and tests for oxidising and reducing agents. Candidates should be familiar with the reactions
of cations, reactions of anions and tests for gases as detailed in the Notes for Qualitative Analysis.
Candidates would not be required to carry out tests involving Pb2+ ions or sulfur dioxide gas.
Reactions involving ions not included in the Notes for Qualitative Analysis may be tested: in such cases,
candidates will not be expected to identify the ions but only to draw conclusions of a general nature.
Candidates should not attempt tests, other than those specified, on substances, except when it is
appropriate to test for a gas.
7. Qualitative organic analysis requiring a knowledge of simple organic reactions as outlined in Section VI,
e.g. test-tube reactions indicating the presence of unsaturation (C=C) may be set, but this would be for
the testing of observation skills and drawing general conclusions only.
