- Cut solid C into equal pieces, each 2cm long.(I mark)
- Using a burette, measure 12cm3 of solution A, into a clean boiling tube.
- Drop one piece of solid C into the boiling tube containing solution A and start the stopwatch immediately. Stop the stopwatch when all solid C has just disappeared (dissolved).
Record your results in the table below. - Repeat steps (ii) and (iii) above using 10.0cm3, 8.0cm3, 6.0cm3 and 4.0cm3 of solution A. Top up each with distilled water to make12.0cm3 of solution, using a 10.0cm3 measuring cylinder and complete the table below. (4marks)

- Plot a graph of I/t (y-axis) against the concentration of solution A. (3marks)
- From the graph, determine the time taken for the reaction to reach completion when 1.5 moles of solution A are used. (2 marks)
- Comment on the shape of the graph. (1 mark)
- You have been provided with solid Q, Which is a mixture of two compounds.
You are required to carry out the test below and record your observations and inferences in the spaces provided below.
PROCEDURE- Put a spatulaful of mixture Q in a boiling tube.
- Add about 7cm3 of distilled water to the mixture and shake thoroughly. Filter the mixture.
- Wash the residue with distilled water and keep both the residue and the filtrate.
Observation Inference 1 mark 1 mark - Divide the filtrate into four portions
Observation Inference 1 mark 1 mark - Add 5 drops of acidified 2M barium chloride to the first portion.
Observation Inference 1 mark 1 mark - Add 3 drops of 2M lead (II) nitrate solution to the second portion.
Observation Inference 1 mark 1 mark - Add 2M sodium hydroxide to the third portion dropwise until in excess.
Observation Inference 1 mark 1 mark - Add 2M ammonia solution to the fourth portion drop wise until in excess.
Observation Inference 1 mark 1 mark - Scrape the residue from the filter paper and transfer it into a boiling tube.
- Add some dilute 2M Nitric (V) acid while shaking until all the solid dissolves.
- Divide the solution into three portions.
- To the first portion add 2M sodium hydroxide a few drops till in excess.
Observation Inference 1 mark 1 mark - To the second portion add a few drops of 2M ammonia solution till in excess.
Observation Inference 1 mark 1 mark - To the third portion add 5 drops of 2M hydrochloric acid and warm the mixture.
