I. Because graphite contains carbon atoms arranged in layers with break forces between it's layers, thereby making it slippery hence it is used as a lubricant.
II. Because diamond is the hardest substance : resulting from the giant crystalline forces in its molecule.

========================================
(2ai)
Arrhenius defined base as a substance which gives hydroxide ions, (OH-) in water.
(2aii)
NaOH
(2aiii)
(I) C12H22O11 - Non electrolyte.
(II) NH3 - Weak electrolyte.
(II) NaOH - Strong electrolyte.
(2aiv)
CH3COOH(aq) + KOH(aq) --> CH3COOK(aq) + H2O(l)
(2b)
HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) --> NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)
Mole ratio 1 : 1
Ca = Molar conc of the hcl, 0.500moldm-³
Cb = Molar conc of NaOH, 0.3moldm-³
Vb = Volume of base, 20.00cm³
Va = ?
CaVa/CbVb = na/nb
Va = CbVbna/Canb
Va = 0.3×20×1/(0.5×1)
Va = 12cm³
(2c)
(i) NaOH - sodium hydroxide
(ii) Mg(HCO3)2 - Magnesium hydrogentrioxocarbonate(IV)
(2di)
Standard solution is one in with a concentration which is accurately known must be used to react with a solution of unknown concentration.
(2dii)
NaOH because its a soluble base.
(2e)
Fe(s) + 2HCl(g) ---> FeCl2(s) + H2(g)
1 mole of Fe requires 2 mole of HCl for complete reaction.
Mole = molarity × volume in dm³
Mol = 2.2×0.05
Mol = 0.11mol of HCl
2mol of HCl requires 1 mol of Fe
0.11mol of HCl will require 0.55mol of Fe
Mol = mass/molar mass
Molar mass = mass/mole
Mass of Fe = 3.08g
Mole = 0.55mol
Molar mass of Fe = 3.08/0.55
Molar mass = 56gmol ^-1
===========================================
(3ai)
Soda lime is not deliquescent where caustic soda is deliquescent.
(3aii)
-It is partially soluble in water.
-It is a colourless and odourless gas.
-It is denser than air.
(3aiii)
(I) Emperical Formular:
Elements: C H
%composition: 82.76 17.24
Relative atomic mass: 12 1
Ratio: 82.76/12 17.24/1 6.8966 17.24
Ratio/smaller ratio = 6.8966/6.8966 17.24/6.8966
1 2.499
= 1 2.5
Then using a multiplication factor of 4, since the mole ratio did not turn out to become whole numbers;
1 mol of C × 4 = 4 mol of C
2.5 mol of H×4 = 10 mol of H
Hence, the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon is C4H10
(II) Finding the molecular formula of the hydrocarbon:
Recall that vapour density
V.D*2 = Molecular mass, since V.D = 29, Hence MM = 29*2 = 58gmol^-1
Hence(C4H10)n = 58
(12*4+1*10)n = 58
(48+10)n = 58
58n = 58
n = 58/58 = 1
Hence mm = C4H10 --> molecular formula
(3bi)
Isomerism is the existence of two or more compounds with the same molecular formula but different structural formula.
(3bii)
Draw the chemical equation
(3biii)

How to Apply for the 2020 WAEC GCE. Candidates arc expected to pay a registration fee of Thirteen Thousand, Nine Hundred and Fifty Naira (N13,950) only, at branches of any of the following banks or any accredited agent and obtain the Registration PIN and Information VCD: Access Bank Plc.
Private Candidates are now required to apply for their certificates online. The certificates will be dispatched to the WAEC Office of their choice for collection. Candidates are also informed that the certificates for private candidates will be printed only on request and should be collected within 48 hours.
The fact is your O'level result; be it WAEC , NECO or NABTEB is valid for a life time and has no expiration date. The Examination conducted by these examination bodies is known as ?achievement test? and therefore the certificates awarded are valid forever.
Is WAEC 2020 Timetable Out? Yes, WAEC official timetable for 2020/2021 exam is out. WAEC EXAM will commence on 30th March, 2020 and will end on 12th June, 2020. At every stage of human endeavor, there is always a need for promotion which is often preceded by an examination.
The WAEC examination is open to both private and school candidates. ... Most universities in Germany accepts WAEC results from West African students. So, you need to meet their minimum requirements before you're offered admission into a German university.
Nigerian students wishing to study abroad with WAEC, NECO or GCE can apply for admission at Brandon University. As a Nigerian or Internationa student seeking admission to study abroad at Brandon University with WAEC can use the link below to apply.
You are required to get at least a credit pass (50%) in your core subjects. Under the new WAEC grading system, A1 is Excellent, B2 Very Good, B3 Good, C4, C5 and C6 are interpreted as Credit, D7 and D8 are interpreted as Pass, while F9 is Fail.
WAEC internal can be easier because you're have been well prepared for the papers most recently (SS1 to 3). People usually write GCE while they'd abandoned books for months - if not years. This may make it more difficult to pass. There are other reasons WAEC internal could be more convenient as detailed in this post.
Currently, WAEC scratch card is N700 (seven hundred naira). This price has been officially confirmed by the West African Examination Council (WAEC) on social media. According to WAEC, ?the cost of electronic pin/voucher (Now scratch card) for checking results is 700 Naira only?.
