2 XMSS/Chemistry/6092/03/Preliminary Examination 2024 Answer all questions. Write your answers in the spaces provided. 1 You are going to investigate the temperature changes when two solids, C and D, dissolve in water. Read all the instructions carefully before starting the experiments in Question 1. Instructions You are going to do two experiments. (a) Experiment 1 1. Put the polystyrene cup into the 250 cm3 beaker for support. 2. Use the measuring cylinder to pour 40 cm3 of deionised water into the polystyrene cup. 3. Measure the initial temperature of the deionised water and record it in the first row of the table. 4. Add the 5 g sample of solid C to the polystyrene cup and stir the solution with the thermometer. 5. Measure and record the temperature of the solution after 1 minute. 6. Calculate and record the temperature change, including whether the temperature increased (+) or decreased (–). 7. Pour the solution away and rinse out the polystyrene cup with deionised water. 8. Repeat the procedure using the 7 g and 8 g samples of solid C. Record your results and the temperature change, including whether the temperature increased (+) or decreased (–), in the appropriate row of the table. mass of solid C / g initial temperature of the water / C temperature of the solution after 1 min / C temperature change / C 5 7 8 [2]
