  1. You are provided with:
    • solution A, aqueous copper (II) sulphate;
    • solid B, iron powder;
    • 0.02 M acidified potassium manganate (VII), solution C.
      You are required to determine the molar heat of displacement of copper by iron.

      Procedure 1
      Using a burette, place 50.0 cm3 of solution A in a 100 ml beaker. Measure the temperature of the solution and record it in table 1 below. Add all solid B provided at once and start a stop watch. Stir the mixture thoroughly with the thermometer and record the temperature of the mixture after every one minute in the table. Retain the mixture for use in procedure II below.

        2. From the graph, determine the;
          1. highest change in temperature. ΔT; (1 mark)
          2. time taken for the reaction to bee completed. (1/2 mark)
        3. Calculate the heat change for the reaction. (Specific heat capacity of solution is 4.2 Jg-1K-1; Density of the solution is 1 gcm-3). (2 marks)

    • PROCEDURE II
      Carefully decant the mixture obtained in procedure I into a 250 ml volumetric flask. Add about 10 cm3 of distilled water to the residue in the 100 ml beaker. Shake well, allow the mixture to settle and carefully decant into the volumetric flask. Immediately, add about 50 cm3 of 2 M sulphuric (VI) acid to the mixture in the volumetric flask. Add more distilled water to make 250.0cm3 of solution. Label this as solution D.
      Fill a burette with solution C. Using a pipette and a pipette filler, place 25.0 cm3 of solution D in a 250 ml conical flask. Titrate solution D against solution C until the first permanent pink colour is obtained. Record your results in table 2 below. Repeat the titration two more times and complete the table. Retain the remaining solution C for use in question 3.
