2 Diagram 2.1 shows two types of bonfire using sticks and logs.
Rajah 2.1 menunjukkan 2 jenis unggun api menggunakan ranting kayu dan batang kayu.

During camping, a group of students discovered that it is easier to start a bonfire

using sticks rather than logs. This is due to the differences in the size
Semasa berkhemah, sekumpulan pelajar telah mendapati bahawa lebih senang untuk
menghidupkan unggun api menggunakan ranting kayu berbanding batang kayu. Ini disebabkan
oleh perbezaan saiz.

Bonfire using sticks Bonfire using logs

Unggun api menggunakan ranting Unggun api menggunakan batang kayu

Diagram 2.1
Rajah 2.1

Referring to the above situation, plan a laboratory experiment to investigate the

effect of size of reactant on the rate of reaction between calcium carbonate and an
acid.
Merujuk kepada situasi di atas, rancangkan satu eksperimen dalam makmal untuk mengkaji
kesan saiz bahan tindak balas terhadap kadar tindak balas antara kalsium karbonat dengan asid.

Your planning should include the following:

Perancangan anda haruslah mengandungi perkara-perkara berikut :

(i) Statement of Problem

Pernyataan masalah
(ii) All the variables
Semua pembolehubah
(iii) Statement of hypothesis
Pernyataan hipotesis
