- You are provided with
- 4M sodium hydroxide solution labeled solution x
- 2M Hydrochloric acid labeled as solution Z
- 0g of impure anhydrous sodium carbonate labeled solid P
You are required to determine the percentage purity of solid P.
Procedure - Using 100ml measuring cylinder, measure 80cm3 of solution Z and place it in a 250ml beaker.
- Add all the solid P to the acid in the beaker and stir with a glass rod until effervescence stops.
- Transfer the content of the beaker carefully into a 250ml volumetric flask and add distilled water upto the mark.
- Label this solution Y
- Fill a burrete with solution Y.
- Using a clean pipette and pipette filler, put 25cm 3 of solution X into a conical flask.
- Add three drops of phenolphthalein indicator and titrate using solution Y.
- Repeat the titration two more times and complete the table below

- You are provided with
- You are provided with 4.0g of oxalic acid labeled solid Q. You are required to determine the solubility of solid Q at different temperature.
Procedure- Transfer all solid Q into a clean dry boiling tube.
- Using a burette add 4cm3 of distilled water to solid Q in the boiling tube.
- Heat the mixture while stirring with the thermometer until all the solid dissolves.
- Allow the solution to cool while stirring with the thermometer and note the temperature at which crystals start to appear record the temperature in table 2.
- Add 2cm3 of water into the mixture in the boiling tube and repeat the procedure. Continue adding 2cm3 portions of water until total volume of water is 12cm3. Note the temperature at which crystallization occurs in each case and record the temperature in table 2.
