Paper 1
Questions are applicable for both core and extended candidates

1 Two experiments are described.

experiment 1 A large mass of copper(II) sulfate is stirred into a beaker of water. After
a few minutes, undissolved crystals are visible on the bottom of the
beaker.

experiment 2 Sea water is distilled. Distilled water and solid impure salt are separated
into two containers.

Which statement is correct?

A In experiment 1, the undissolved crystals are the filtrate.


B In experiment 1, the water is the solute.
C In experiment 2, sea water boils at 100 °C.
D In experiment 2, the impure salt is a residue.
