A conical flask B volumetric flask C measuring cylinder D pipette 2 The Health Sciences Authority (HSA) tested a weight loss product which is suspected to contain harmful ingredients. The chromatogram of the weight loss product is obtained as shown below, along with a reference table of Rf values of some harmful ingredients. What are the harmful ingredients present in the weight loss product? A dexamethasone only B chlorpheniramine and dexamethasone only C frusemide and sibutramine only D chlorpheniramine, dexamethasone and sibutramine only 3 In an experiment, the melting point of an unknown solid was found to be 60 °C, the same as cyclohexene. To check its identity, the experiment was repeated by using equal parts of the solid and pure cyclohexene. The melting point of the mixture was found to be 50 – 53 °C. What can be deduced from the experimental results? A The unknown solid is a mixture. B The unknown solid is pure cyclohexene. C The unknown solid may contain cyclohexene. D The unknown solid is not cyclohexene.
