The first one will only be about 4 marks, the second would only be 2 or so marks, the third isnt a question, they can only ask you specific definitions.

Major ones that could be 7 marks:
Water treatment
Biopolymer
Importance of monitoring Haber Process
Affects of oxides of Nitrogen and Sulfur on the society and the environment

lucyinthehole: I've seen so many people make this mistake, YOU DON'T HAVE TO KNOW A NAMED CHEMIST, YOU NEED TO KNOW A NAMED BRANCH OF CHEMISTRY.

Every single point on the syllabus is a 7 mark question possibility. Sadly, that's the way sciences go - and I know will be the reason behind my downfall tomorrow.

"outline the role of a chemist employed in a named branch of industry or enterprise"
hmmm, i guess that is to be interpreted kinda like "the responder" in english is. just a general, hypothetical chemist, as opposed to a particular one. but you can see how it's possible to interpret the other way, don't you?

You would be asked to assess or detail the steps in purification of mass water supply.
I doubt it would be 7, but there is a 5 mark question on it in 2002

Yeah I can see what you mean, but trust me, all you need is a named branch. :)

Yeah just do analytical chemistry. A chemical principle used is absorption for gas-solid chromatography...

This is used in the industry for monitoring the quality of ethylene produced like at the Qenos plant.

according to Conqering chem anyways.
