SESSION OF 1884-'85. c4766 Oz
Examination in Chemistry.
1. State the laws governing the combination of elements, and the laws
of Gay Lussac, and of Avogadro.
2. Explain the meaning of "valence," "atomic weight," "molecu-
lar weight" and "symbol." Give examples of ten elements.
3. What is meant by composition and constitution? Illustrate by
formulæ of amylic alcohol.
4. Describe the tests for arsenic.
5. Give the names, formulæ and molecular weights of, and the tests for,
the strong mineral acids.
6. Give the formulæ, constitution, names, and formulæ of sodium salts
of the acids containing phosphorus.
7. Give the formulæ and names of the sodium, calcium, and iron
salts of hydrochloric, nitric and sulphuric acids.
8. Give examples (names and formulæ) of primary, secondary and
tertiary monamines and monamides; diamides, imides, and amido
acids.
9. Explain the formation of the oxide of ethyl, and state its properties.
10. Explain the constitution of the fats and the process of saponi-
fication.
11. Define the following terms: Hydrocarbon; Carbohydrate; Alka-
loid; Simple Ether; Compound Ether; Acid; Base; Salt.
12. Describe the symptoms of poisoning by Strychnine; the treatment
indicated; and the tests for the alkaloid.
13. How would you test the urine for sugar and albuminoids?
14. How is the formation of calculi influenced by the reaction of the
urine?
15. Give the chemical and popular names of the following: SO4H2;
SO4Fe; SO4Sn; SO4Cu; HCl; NaCl; NO2H; Hg2Cl2; Hg
Cl2; SO4Mg; CO2Ca; SO4 Ca; SO4Ca, 2 Aq; CaO; CaH2O2.
NOTE.--Answers to ten of the above questions are required. Each candidate is at liberty to select which ten he will answer.
