These can be found by measuring the temperature change when solutions of the acid and alkali are mixed. Read all the instructions below carefully before starting the experiments in Question 1. Instructions You are going to carry out seven experiments. P is 1.50 mol/dm3 sodium hydroxide, NaOH. Q is an aqueous solution of a strong acid. (a) Experiment 1 Place a Styrofoam cup into a 250 cm3 glass beaker. Put P into a burette and measure 40.00 cm 3 of P into the Styrofoam cup. Measure the temperature of P and record the value in the table. Use a measuring cylinder to measure 10.0 cm3 of Q. Pour this volume of Q into the Styrofoam cup containing P. Stir gently, using the thermometer, and measure the highest temperature reached. Record this temperature in the table. Empty the Styrofoam cup and rinse it with deionised water. Experiments 2 to 7 Repeat Experiment 1 but use different volumes of P and Q for each experiment given in the table. Complete the table by calculating the temperature rise for each experiment. experiment volume of P/cm3 volume of Q/cm3 initial temperature of P/°C highest temperature of mixture/ °C temperature rise /°C 1 40.00 10.0 2 35.00 15.0 3 30.00 20.0 4 25.00 25.0 5 20.00 30.0 6 15.00 35.0 7 10.00 40.0 [3]

[Assume that 4.3 J are required to raise the temperature of 1 cm 3 of any solution by 1°C] amount of heat produced = _____________J [1] (d) From your graph, read the volume of P where the two lines intersect. Show clearly on the graph how you obtain your answer. volume of P = _____________ cm3 [1] (e) Calculate the number of moles of P in (d). number of moles of P = _____________ mol [1] (f) The ionic equation for the reaction between P and Q is as given. OH-(aq) + H+(aq) → H2O(l) (i) Calculate the volume of Q that reacts with volume of P in (d). volume of Q = _____________cm3 [1] (ii) Hence, calculate the concentration of hydrogen ions, H+, in Q in mol/ dm3. concentration of hydrogen ions = ________________ [2] (g) If Q is sulfuric acid, state the concentration of the acid in mol/ dm3. Explain your reasoning. concentration = _________________________ reasoning [2]

Suggest one modification to the experimental method and explain how it can give larger changes in temperature. [2] [Total: 17]

On heating, hydrated M.6H2O loses its water of crystallisation. M.6H2O (s) → M(s) + 6H2O(g) Read all the instructions carefully before starting the experiments. Carry out the following tests on solid M.6H2O, recording all of your observations in the spaces provided. (a) Instructions 1. Use an electronic balance to measure and record mass of an empty boiling tube. 2. Add about 1.00 g of M.6H2O into the boiling tube. 3. Measure and record the total mass of the boiling tube and M.6H2O. 4. Gently heat the contents for 1 minute. 5. Record your observation in (a)(i). 6. Leave the boiling tube to cool to room temperature. You may start working on Question 2c while waiting for the boiling tube to cool. 7. Reweigh the boiling tube and its contents and record the total mass. 8. Record all your results in an appropriate format in (a)(ii). (i) Observation [1] (ii) Results [2]

State how the percentage loss in mass on heating will change if an impurity of copper(II) carbonate is present in M.6H2O salt. Assume same mass of sample is used as in (a). Explain your reasoning. [2] (c) Place the remaining amount of M.6H2O in a boiling tube and add deionised water to dissolve the solid to produce aqueous solution of M. Carry out the following test s on the aqueous solution of
