1 FA 1 is a metal carbonate, XCO3.
FA 2 is 2.00 mol dm–3 hydrochloric acid, HCl.
You are required to determine the temperature rise when a known mass of the solid
carbonate, XCO3, is added to an excess of hydrochloric acid and to use your results to
calculate the relative atomic mass, Ar, of the metal X.
Experiment 1
(b) Place the plastic cup inside a 250 cm3 beaker. Using the measuring cylinder provided
add 50.0 cm3 of hydrochloric acid, FA 2, to the plastic cup.
Measure the initial temperature of the acid in the cup and record this in Table 1.2 at the
top of page 3.
Empty the contents of the weighing bottle into the acid and stir gently with the
thermometer. Record the maximum temperature achieved when the solid has reacted
with the acid in Table 1.2 at the top of page 3.

Examiner’s
Use
1 FA 1 is an aqueous solution of sodium thiosulphate, Na2S2O3.
FA 2 is dilute hydrochloric acid, HCl.
When a solution of sodium thiosulphate is mixed with hydrochloric acid a reaction takes
place and a fine suspension of solid sulphur is formed in the solution.
Na2S2O3(aq) + 2HCl(aq) → 2NaCl(aq) + SO2(g) + S(s) + H2O(l)
If a beaker containing the reaction mixture is placed over a marker, in this case an insert of
printed text on a piece of paper, the sulphur as it forms slowly hides the marker from view.
If the depth of solution in the beaker is kept constant the marker will always disappear when
the same amount of sulphur has been formed.
You are to use this reaction to investigate how the rate of reaction between sodium
thiosulphate solution and hydrochloric acid changes as the concentration of the
sodium thiosulphate solution is varied.
(a) Use a 50 cm3 measuring cylinder to place 50.0 cm3 of FA 1 into a 250 cm3 beaker.
Measure 5.0 cm3 of FA 2 into the small measuring cylinder.
Dry the outside of the beaker containing FA 1 and place it over the printed text on the
insert sheet.
Pour the 5.0 cm3 of FA 2 from the measuring cylinder into the beaker and at the same
moment start a stop-clock or note the time on a clock with a seconds sweep hand.
Swirl the beaker to mix the solutions thoroughly and place back over the insert. The
insert should then be viewed from above so that the text is observed through the depth of
the solution.
Stop the stop-clock or note the time when the printing on the insert is just no
longer visible.
Record the time to the nearest second in Table 1.1.
Empty and rinse the beaker. Repeat the experiment placing the volumes (shown in

1 FA 1 is an aqueous bleach named ‘Superclean’.
FA 2 is a solution containing 19.78 g dm–3 of sodium thiosulphate, Na2S2O3.
Many commercial bleaches contain compounds of chlorine as the ‘active ingredient’. They
are able to displace iodine from aqueous potassium iodide. This iodine can be titrated
against sodium thiosulphate to determine the ‘free chlorine’ concentration for the bleach.
You are to determine the ‘free chlorine’ concentration in ‘Superclean’.
Pipette 25.0 cm3 of FA 1 into the 250 cm3 graduated flask, labelled FA 3. Make the
solution up to 250 cm3 with distilled water and mix the solution thoroughly.
This solution is FA 3.
Rinse the 25 cm3 pipette used in (a), firstly with water and then with FA 3. Pipette
25.0 cm3 of FA 3 into a conical flask and, using a measuring cylinder, add to the flask
10 cm3 of aqueous potassium iodide and 10 cm3 of 1.0 mol dm–3 sulphuric acid.
Fill the burette with FA 2 and titrate the displaced iodine until the colour of the solution
becomes pale yellow. Then add 1 cm3 of starch indicator solution. Swirl the flask to mix
the indicator and solution, then continue the titration until the blue colour of the starch/
iodine complex disappears, leaving a colourless solution. This is the end-point.
Repeat the titration as many times as you think necessary to obtain accurate
results.

1 You are required to determine the molar enthalpy change of solution for ammonium chloride, For
FA 1. Examiner’s
Use
When an exothermic reaction takes place in a container such as a beaker, some of the
evolved heat energy is absorbed by the beaker.
When an endothermic reaction takes place some of the required heat energy is supplied by
the beaker.
The amount of heat energy evolved or supplied for a 1 °C change in temperature is known as
the heat capacity of the beaker.
In preparation for your experiment to determine the molar enthalpy change of solution for
FA 1 you will first need to determine the approximate heat capacity of a 250 cm3 beaker.
Before starting any practical work read through the instructions in (a) and draw up a
table to record your results.

(a) Determining the approximate heat capacity of the 250 cm3 beaker For
Examiner’s
When samples of hot and cold water are mixed in the 250 cm3 beaker, some heat is lost Use
to the beaker in raising its temperature. To determine the approximate heat capacity of
your 250 cm3 beaker, you will determine the maximum temperature rise when a sample
of hot water is added to cold water in the beaker.
• Use a 50 cm3 measuring cylinder to transfer 50 cm3 of cold water into the 250 cm3
beaker.
• Use the 50 cm3 measuring cylinder to transfer 50 cm3 of cold water into a 100 cm3
beaker. Note the temperature of the water in this 100 cm3 beaker and heat it
carefully and gently until the temperature of the water in it has increased by
45–50 °C then stop heating, e.g. if the water is at 20.0 °C you should warm it to
65–70 °C.
• Stir the cold water in the 250 cm3 beaker with the thermometer.
• Record the temperature of the cold water (this is the temperature at t = 0 min).
• Record the temperature each minute for 3 minutes.
• After you have taken the reading at t = 3 min, use the thermometer to stir the hot
water in the 100 cm3 beaker.
• At t = 4 min, measure the temperature of the hot water and record this value in the
box below.
• Immediately add the hot water from the 100 cm3 beaker to the cold water in the
250 cm3 beaker. Stir with the thermometer but do not record the temperature.
• Continue to stir the water throughout the experiment.
• Record the temperature at t = 5 min, and then every ½ minute until t = 8 min.
• Empty and rinse the 250 cm3 beaker. Dry it using a paper towel.
• Record all measurements of time and temperature obtained.

1 FA 1 is a hydrated metal sulphate, XSO4.7H2O.
You are required to determine the mass of water of crystallisation (the 7H2O in the formula
above) in a weighed sample of FA 1 and to calculate the relative atomic mass, Ar, of the
element X.
(a) Accurately weigh the hard glass test-tube provided. Record the mass in Table 1.1 below.
Add to the test-tube between 2.00 g and 2.50 g of FA 1 and accurately weigh the test-
tube and contents. Record this mass in Table 1.1 below.
Mass of test-tube + FA 1 /g
Mass of FA 1 /g
(b) Heat the test-tube, gently at first then strongly, to drive off the water of crystallisation.
The crystals will ‘crackle’ at first as water is lost and ‘steam’ (condensed water vapour)
will be seen coming out of the mouth of the tube.
If the crystals are overheated the sulphate can decompose and give off sulphur trioxide
which will be seen as white fumes. If you see white fumes, do not confuse this with
steam, stop heating.
Place the test-tube on a heat proof mat and leave to cool. Do not move about the
laboratory with a hot test-tube.
(You are advised to continue with the second question while the tube cools.)
When cool, reweigh the test-tube and its contents. Record the mass in Table 1.2 below.
(c) By repeating the heating, cooling and reweighing, show clearly by your results in
Table 1.2 that all the water of crystallisation has been driven from the crystals, FA 1.

1 FA 1 is an aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid, HCl.
FA 2 is aqueous potassium iodate(V) containing 4.93 g dm–3 of KIO3.
FA 3 is aqueous potassium iodide, KI.
FA 4 is aqueous sodium thiosulphate, Na2S2O3.
In the presence of acid, iodate(V) ions react with iodide ions to form iodine and water.
IO3–(aq) + 5I–(aq) + 6H+(aq) 3I2(aq) + 3H2O(l)
If sodium thiosulphate is present in the reaction mixture the iodine formed is immediately
reduced back to iodide and the solution remains colourless.
Iodate(V) ions can therefore be titrated against acid in the presence of an excess of
iodide and thiosulphate ions.
You are to use this method to determine the concentration of the hydrochloric acid, FA 1.
(a) Dilution of FA 1
Using a burette, run between 34.00 cm3 and 35.00 cm3 of FA 1 into the 250 cm3
graduated flask, labelled FA 5. Record the burette readings in Table 1.1.
Make the solution up to 250 cm3 with distilled water and mix thoroughly.
Fill a second burette with this diluted acid, FA 5.
Repeat the titration as many times as you think necessary to obtain accurate results.
Make certain that the recorded results show the precision of your practical work.

1 Read through question 1 before starting any practical work.
Aqueous thiosulphate ions, S2O32–, decompose in the presence of hydrogen ions, H+.
The rate of reaction can be followed by observing the formation of a fixed amount of sulphur
as a fine suspension of solid particles in the solution.
The order of reaction with respect to thiosulphate ions can be obtained by plotting a graph of
log rate against log [S2O32–].

1 Read through question 1 before starting any practical work.
In the presence of an acid, iodide ions are oxidised by hydrogen peroxide to iodine.
The rate of reaction can be followed by timing the formation of a fixed amount of iodine in the
solution.
If sodium thiosulphate is present in the reaction mixture it reacts with the iodine formed and
the solution remains colourless.
When all of the sodium thiosulphate present has reacted, iodine, I2, will appear in the solution
producing an immediate blue colour with starch indicator.
The order of reaction with respect to hydrogen peroxide can be obtained by plotting a graph
of log rate against log [H2O2].

The relative molecular mass, Mr, of a metal carbonate can be estimated by adding a weighed
sample of the carbonate to a weighed excess of hydrochloric acid and measuring the mass
of carbon dioxide evolved.
The tubes labelled FB 6 and FB 7 each contain the solid carbonate X2CO3.
FB 8 is 2.0 mol dm–3 hydrochloric acid.
Method
(a) Follow the instructions below to determine the mass of carbon dioxide given off when
X2CO3 reacts with an excess of hydrochloric acid.
• Use a measuring cylinder to transfer 75 cm3 of FB 8 into a 250 cm3 conical flask.
• Weigh the flask and acid FB 8.
• Weigh the tube labelled FB 6 which contains the carbonate X2CO3.
• Tip the contents of the tube FB 6 into the acid in the flask, a little at a time. This
prevents loss of acid as spray from the vigorous reaction.
• When the reaction appears to be complete, swirl the flask and leave to stand for
2–3 minutes, then reweigh the flask and its contents.
• Reweigh the tube FB 6 and any residual carbonate not added to the acid.
• Rinse out and drain the flask.

(b) Procedure
• Support the plastic cup in the 250 cm3 beaker and, using a pipette, place 25.0 cm3
of FA 2 into the plastic cup.
• Stir gently, taking a temperature reading every ½ minute until a steady temperature
has been obtained for a period of at least 2 minutes. You may need to tilt the beaker
in order to cover the bulb of the thermometer with solution.
• On a precise minute reading tip the zinc powder from the weighing bottle into the
plastic cup.
Do not read the temperature at this time or at the following ½ minute.
• Continue to stir the mixture thoroughly. Starting 1 minute after the addition of the
zinc powder, record the temperature every ½ minute until the temperature has
reached a maximum value and then decreased steadily for at least 5 minutes.
• Reweigh the empty weighing bottle. Record the mass of the bottle + any residual
zinc powder and the mass of zinc powder used in the experiment in the table you
prepared in (a).
• Record your results in an appropriate form in the space on the following page.
