QUESTIONS

QUESTION 1
You are provided with:

  • 6.0g of an alkanoic acid labelled solid P in a boiling tube.
  • 2M sodium hydroxide solution labelled solution Q.

You are required to:

  1. Determine the solubility of solid P at different temperatures.
  2. Determine the number of moles of water of crystallization in solid P.
  3. Find the molar mass of the alkanoic acid.

Procedure I

  1. Using a burette add 10cm3 of distilled water to the solid P in the boiling tube. Heat the mixture while stirring with a thermometer to about 70ºC. When the entire solid has dissolved allow the solution to cool while stirring with the thermometer. Note the temperature at which crystals of solid P first appear. Record this temperature in the Table 1 below.
  2. Using the burette add 2cm3 of distilled water to the contents of the boiling tube. Warm the mixture, while stirring with the thermometer until all the solid dissolves. Allow the mixture to cool while stirring. Note the temperature at which the crystals of solid P first appear.
  3. Repeat the procedure (ii) two more times and record the temperatures in Table I. Retain the contents of the boiling tube for use in procedure II.

  1.    
    1. Complete Table 1 by calculating the solubility of solid P at different temperatures (6 mks)
    2. On the grid provided, plot a graph of the solubility of solid P (vertical axis) against temperature. (3 mks)
    3. Using the graph determine the temperature at which 55g of solid P would dissolve in 100cm3 of water. (1 mk)

Procedure II

  1. Transfer the contents of the boiling tube in Procedure I into a 250 ml volumetric flask. Rinse both the boiling tube and the thermometer with distilled water and add to the volumetric flask. Add more distilled water to make up to the mark. Transfer the solution to a 250 ml beaker , Label this solution R. Wash the volumetric flask then rinse it with distilled water ready for use in Step(ii).
  2. Using a measuring cylinder place 25.0 cm3 of solution Q into a 250 ml volumetric flask. Add about 200cm3 of distilled water. Shake well. Add more distilled water to the make up to the mark. Label this solution T.
  3. Fill a burette with solution R. Using a pipette and pipette filler, place 25 cm3 of solution T into a 250 ml conical flask. Add 2-3 drops of phenolphthalein indicator and titrate with solution R. Record your results in table II. Repeat the titration two more times and complete the table.

DETERMINE:

  1. The average volume of solution R used (1 mk)
  2. The concentration of solution T in moles per litre. (1 mk)
  3. The concentration of alkanoic acid solution R in moles per litre (1 mole of acid reacts with 2 moles of the base) (2 mks)
  4. The relative formula mass of the alkanoic acid, solid P (2 mks)
  5. The formula of P has the form M.xH2O. Determine the value of x in the formula. (The relative formula mass of M is 90; O=16;H = 1) ( 1mk)
