P Q
A I only B II and IV only
C I, II and III only D I, II, III and IV The apparatus above was used in an experiment. The following steps
were carried out.
13 Wood is usually used to make
I boats II furniture Step 1 : Two spatulas of iodine crystals were placed in two test
III houses IV cars tubes P and Q respectively.
Step 2 : Test tube P was heated until the crystals disappeared. The
