QUESTION ONE (22 MARKS)

You are provided with:

  • 4.5g of solid A in a boiling tube.
  • Solution B, 0.06M acidified potassium manganate (VII)

You are required to determine:-

  1. The solubility of solid A at different temperatures.
  2. The number of moles of water of crystallization in solid A.

Procedure

  1. Using a burette, add 4cm3 of distilled water to solid A in a boiling tube. Heat the mixture while stirring with the thermometer to about 70ºC. When all the solid has dissolved allow the solution to cool while stirring with the thermometer. Note the temperature at which crystals of solid A first appear. Record this temperature in table I.
  2. Using the burette, add 2.0cm3 of distilled water to the contents of the boiling tube. Warm the mixture while stirring with the thermometer until all solid dissolves. Allow the mixture to cool while stirring. Note and record the temperature at which crystals of solid A first appear.
  3. Repeat procedure (b) two more times and record the temperatures in the table I. Retain the contents of the boiling tube for use in procedure (e)
  4.      
    1. Complete table I by calculating the solubility of solid A at different temperatures. The solubility of a substance is the mass of that substance that dissolves in 100cm3 (100g) of water at a particular temperature.
