  1. You are provided with:
    • Solution A, Dilute hydrochloric acid.
    • Solution B, made by dissolving 0.5g of sodium hydroxide in water and made to 250cm3 of solution.
    • Solid C, Magnesium ribbon.
    • Phenolphthalein indicator.

    You are required to:
    1. Standardize solution A.
    2. Determine the rate of reaction between solution A and magnesium.

    PROCEDURE I:
    1. Measure exactly 1 Ocm3 of solution A using a burette and transfer into a 250ml volumetric flask. Top up to the mark using distilled water and shake thoroughly. Label this solution D.
    2. Drain the remaining solution A in the burette, rinse the burette thoroughly and fill the burette with solution D.
    3. Pipette 25cm3 of solution B into a conical flask. Add three drops of phenolphthalein indicator.
    4. Titrate solution D with solution B. Record your results in the table below. Repeat procedures (i) to (iv) to complete the table. 
         1  2  3
      Final burette reading (cm3      
       Initial burette reading (cm3)      
       Volume of solution D used (cm3)      
      (3 marks)
      1. Calculate the average volume of solution D used.(show your working) (1 mark)
      2. Write an equation for the reaction that took place. (1 mark)
      3. Calculate the molarity of sodium hydroxide solution.(Na =23,0=16,H=l ) (1 mark)
      4. Calculate the number of moles of sodium hydroxide reacted. (1 mark)
      5. Calculate the number of moles of hydrochloric acid in 250cm3 of solution D. (2marks).
      6. Calculate the m9larity of hydrochloric acid in solution A. (1 mark)

    PROCEDURE II:
    1. Cut solid C into equal pieces, each 2cm long.(I mark)
    2. Using a burette, measure 12cm3 of solution A, into a clean boiling tube.
    3. 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.
    4. 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)
         Volume of Solution A (cm3)  Volume of distilled water (cm3  Concentration of Solution A (moles/dm3  Time (s)   I/t (S-1)
       I   12  0      
       II  10  2      
       III  8  4      
       IV  6  6      
       V  4  8      
      (4 marks)
      1. Calculate the concentration of each of the solution and and complete the table. Show your working. (2marks)
      2. Plot a graph of I/t (y-axis) against the concentration of solution A. (3marks)
      3. From the graph, determine the time taken for the reaction to reach completion when 1.5 moles of solution A are used. (2 marks)
      4. Comment on the shape of the graph. (1 mark)
  2. 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
    1. Put a spatulaful of mixture Q in a boiling tube.
    2. Add about 7cm3 of distilled water to the mixture and shake thoroughly. Filter the mixture.
    3. Wash the residue with distilled water and keep both the residue and the filtrate.
