QUESTION 3 (Start on a NEW page.)
Rubber is a naturally occurring compound. The diene, 2-methyl-1,3-butandiene,
is one of the repeating units found in rubber.
Over 20 million families depend on rubber cultivation for their livelihood. Tens of
thousands of hectares of tropical forests have been cleared to make way for rubber
plantations.
Chemists have been able to combine other dienes to obtain synthetic rubbers.
Some rubber products include latex products such as hand gloves, raincoats and
other products used in the fight against HIV/Aids and COVID-19.
The world’s largest use of rubber is in the production of tyres, and most tyres contain
both natural rubber, which withstands heat better, and one or more kinds of
synthetic rubber.

4.3 Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. Learners conduct an
investigation to compare the viscosities of the first three alcohols (A–C) in the
above table. They use the apparatus shown below.

of each of the alcohols to flow from the pipette. They record this flow time, which
is an indication of the viscosity of each alcohol, as given in the table below.
ALCOHOL FLOW TIME (s)
A Methanol 4,0
B Ethanol 7,9
C Propan-1-ol 14,3
4.3.1 Which ONE of the alcohols A, B, or C has the highest viscosity? Use
the data in the table to give a reason for the answer. (2)
4.3.2 Refer to the intermolecular forces of the three alcohols A, B and C to
explain the trend in viscosities as shown in the table. (3)

5.7 A car engine at a Shell Garage in Willowvale was running when a debate
started between learners of a Technical Sciences class in a particular
secondary school in that area. They noticed smoke coming out of the exhaust
system and liquid droplets at the back of the exhaust system. One learner
