yes it helped. Well done kung fu panda! Thanks i always forget this method!panda222 said:unknown2011 said:Guys how do you do this question?
how do you count the divisions, the marking scheme does not make any sense to me. Please solve it..
It's question number 2 in both 31/32 oct/nov 2008 paper
http://www.xtremepapers.com/CIE/Interna ... _qp_31.pdf

Thanks in advance
So you count the number of eye piece graticule units in fig2.2. To me, it looks about 8 units. Then compared with the stage micrometer, 8 eye piece graticule units is same as 9 stage micrometer divisions.
We have been told that each division on the stage micrometer is 0.1 mm.
Therfore we divide; (9 x 0.0001) /8. We do this so as to divide the 8 eye piece graticules by 9 of the stage micrometer divisions. As a result we know the size of each eye piece graticule unit.......which is.....0.0001125 metres.
So....each eye piece graticule unit is 0.0001125 units therefore 8 of those would give us the width of the lumen (since 80 eye piece graticule units=the width of lumen) so you just multiple 8 by 0.0001125
The answer is 0.0009. I know the mark scheme is pretty confusing. The stuiped thing is it doesn't even give you any marks for getting the answer. You only get the four marks for collecting the data and writing it down.
Hope that helps you out

Hey emily....not sure if you'll get this in time but oh well.
I ran into the same trouble. The problem is that the page takes a long time to load and until it loads fully it'll show up as a blank page. So just click on that page and wait for ages. It'll come up eventually.
An alternative is that you can right click on the download button and click save as. Then once it finished downloading then just open the file and you'll be fine.

Starch:
Iodine, observe a colour change from brown to blue-black.
Reducing Sugars:
Cut or grind off a small sample and add it to water to attempt to dissolve it. Then add Benedict's solution and heat using a waterbath. Observe a colour change from blue to brick-red.
Protein:
Cut or grind off a small sample and add it to water to attempt to dissolve it. Add potassium hydroxide and copper sulphate. Observe a colour change from blue to purple.
Fat:
Cut or grind off a small portion. Place in a test tube of ethanol and shake. Add the liquid part of this mixture to a test tube containing water. Observe a cloudy emulsifying change.
