But i heard it should +/- 0.15 cm3 as we take readings three times, initial, final and titre is that correct?
The Uncertainty should be half of the smallest reading on your burette. So if the smallest reading is 0.1cm3, you uncertainty will +/- 0.05cm^3
So if you have a uncertainty of 0.15cm^3 then your smallest reading must've been 0.30cm^3! which is very unlikely.
Hope this helped

can it be that the value of Rough titration to be 0.1 cm lower than the original titration . Annd will we lose mark of Not showing working while taking the mean of best titration. Anyone?

Not sure about the mean thing, but the rough titration is supposed to be above the titre values. So you might lose a mark there.

Can anyway explain this question or walk me through the answers ?
View attachment 63684

I had the same problem in this question when I solved this paper but now after repeated tries I was able to solve it correctly Alhamdulillah.
First find the value of the constant K as the angle of deflection is directly proportional to the charge mass ratio
PROTON:
Angle=+15 Charge= + mass= 1
15= k(+/1) thus K=+15

Option 1 :
Charge= +1-2= -1
mass= (atomic mass) 1+2=3
k=+15
Angle= (+15)*(-1/3)= -5..............option 1 correct

Option 2 :
Charge = +3-5 = -2
mass=3+3 =6
K=+15
Angle = (+15)*(-2/6) = -5..................option 2 is also correct

Option 3 :
Charge :4-1 = +3
mass=4+5 =9
K=+15
Angle = (+15)*(+3/9) = +5.......................Option 3 is incorrect.

Ans: B :)

A 0.005 mol sample of anhydrous calcium carbonate was completely thermally decomposed to give 100cm3 of gas measured at a certain temperature and pressure. In a separate experiment carried out at the same temperature and pressure, a 0.005mol sample of anhydrous calcium nitrate was completely thermally decomposed. The volume of gaseous products was measured. What total volume of gaseous products was produced from the calcium nitrate?

First reaction :
CaCO3 ----------> CaO + CO2
0.05mol---------> 100cm3
1 mol of CaCO3 : 1 mol of gas
decomposes to give 100 cm3 of gas

Second reaction:
Ca(NO3)2 -----------> CaO + 2NO2 + 1/2O2
0.05 mol
1 mol of Ca(NO3)2 : 2.5 moles of gas ( NO2 & O2)
As the number of moles are the same thus,
1 mol --------100 cm3
2.5 mol ---------2.5*100 = 250 cm3
