i Solvent extraction
Solvent extraction is a method of separating oil from nutsseeds Most nuts contain oil First the nuts are crushed to reduce their size and increase the surface area A suitable volatile solvent is added The mixture is filtered The filtrate solvent is then allowed to crystallize leaving the oilfat If a filter paper is rubbedsmeared with the oilfat it becomes translucent This is the test for the presence of oilfat
Experiment To extract oil from Macadamia nut seeds
Procedure
Crush Macadamia nut seeds form the hard outer cover Place the inner soft seed into a mortar Crush add a little sand to assist in crushing
Add a little propanone and continue crushing Continue crushing and adding a little propanone until there is more liquid mixture than the solid Decantfilter Put the filtrate into an evaporating dish Vapourize the solvent using solar energy sunlight Smearrub a portion of the residue left after evaporation on a clean dry filter paper
Observation Explanation
Propanone dissolve fatoil in the macadamia nuts Propanone is more volatile lower boiling point than oilfat In sunlightsolar energy propanone evaporatevaporize leaving oilfathas a higher boiling pointAny seed like corn wheat rice soya bean may be used instead of macadamia seed When oilfat is rubbed smeared on an opaque paper it becomes translucent
j Crystallization
Crystallization is the process of using solubility of a solutesolid to obtain the solutesolid crystals from a saturated solution by cooling or heating the solution
A crystal is the smallest regular shaped particle of a solute Every solute has unique shape of its crystals
Some solutions form crystals when heated This is because less solute dissolves at higher temperature Some other solutions form crystals when cooled This is because less solute dissolves at lower temperature
Experiment To crystallize copper II sulphate VI solution
Procedure
Place about one spatula full of hydrated copper sulphate VI crystals into 200cm3 of distilled water in a beaker Stir Continue adding a little more of the hydrated copper sulphate VI crystals and stirring until no more dissolve Decantfilter Cover the filtrate with a filter paper Pierce and make small holes on the filter paper cover Preserve the experiment for about seven days
ObservationExplanation
Large blue crystals formed
When hydrated copper II sulphate crystals are placed in water they dissolve to form copper II sulphate solution After some days water slowly evaporate leaving large crystals of copper II sulphate If the mixture is heated to dryness small crystals are formed
PhysicalTemporary and Chemical changes
A physicaltemporary change is one which no new substance is formed and is reversible back to original
A chemicalpermanent change is one which a new substance is formed and is irreversible back to original
The following experiments illustrates physical and chemical changes
aHeating ice
Place about 10g of pure ice in a beaker Determine its temperature Record it at time 00 in the table below Heat the ice on a strong Bunsen flame and determine its temperature after every 60seconds1minute to complete the table below

Meltingfreezingfusionsolidification and boiling vaporization evaporation are the two physical processes
Melting freezing point of pure substances is fixed constant
The boiling point of pure substance depends on external atmospheric pressure
Meltingfusion is the physical change of a solid to liquid
Freezing is the physical change of a liquid to solid
Meltingfreezingfusionsolidification is therefore two opposite but same reversible physical processes ie

Boilingvaporizationevaporation is the physical change of a liquid to gas
Condensation liquidification is the physical change of gas to liquid
Boilingvaporizationevaporation and condensation liquidification are therefore two opposite but same reversible physical processes ie
B l Bg
Practically
i Meltingliquidificationfusion involves heating a solid to weaken the strong bonds holding the solid particles together
Solids are made up of very strong bonds holding the particles very close to each other Kinetic Theory of matter
On heating these particles gain energyheat from the surrounding heat source to form a liquid with weaker bonds holding the particles close together but with some degree of freedom
iiFreezingfusionsolidification involves cooling a liquid to reform rejoin the very strong bonds to hold the particles very close to each other as solid and thus lose their degree of freedom Kinetic Theory of matter
Freezing fusion solidification is an exothermic H process that require particles holding the liquid together to lose energy to the surrounding
iiiBoilingvaporizationevaporation involves heating a liquid to completely breakfree the bonds holding the liquid particles together
Gaseous particles have high degree of freedom Kinetic Theory of matter
Boiling vaporization evaporation is an endothermic H process that requireabsorb energy from the surrounding
ivCondensationliquidification is reverse process of boiling vaporization evaporation
It involves gaseous particles losing energy to the surrounding to form a liquid
AIR OXYGEN AND COMBUSTION
ATHE ATMOSPHERE
1 The atmosphere is made up of air Air is a mixture of colourless odorless gases which is felt as wind air in motionAll living things breath in air for respiration Plants use air for respiration and photosynthesis
2 The main gases present in the atmosphereair
3 The following experiments below shows the presence and composition of the gases in airatmosphere
aTo find the composition of air supporting combustion using a candle stick
Procedure
Measure the length of an empty gas jar M1 Place a candle stick on a Petri dish Float it on water in basintrough Cover it with the gas jar Mark the level of the water in the gas jar M2 Remove the gas jar Light the candle sick Carefully cover it with the gas jar Observe for two minutes Mark the new level of the water M3
Set up of apparatus
Sample observations
Candle continues to burn then extinguishedgoes off
Level of water in the gas jar rises after igniting the candle
Length of empty gas jar M1 14cm
Length of gas jar without water before igniting candle M2 10 cm
Length of gas jar with water before igniting candle M1 M2 14 10 4 cm
Length of gas jar with water after igniting candle M3 8 cm
Length of gas jar without water after igniting candle M1 M3 10 8 2 cm
Explanation
Candle burns in air In a closed system vessel the candle continues to burn using the part of air that support burningcombustion This is called the active part of air The candle goes offextinguished when all the active part of air is used up The level of the water rises to occupy the space volume occupied by the used active part of air
The experiment is better when very dilute sodiumpotassium hydroxide is used instead of water Dilute Potassium sodium hydroxide absorb Carbon IV oxide gas that comes out from burningcombustion of candle stick
From the experiment above the composition of the
