When an aqueous solution of propanoic acid is shaken with FB 6, two separate layers, an aqueous layer and an organic layer will be observed. Some of the acid dissolves in the organic layer. The amount of acid remaining in the aqueous layer can be determined by titration with aqueous sodium hydroxide. FA 1 is 0.050 mol dm–3 sodium hydroxide solution. FA 2 is 0.200 mol dm–3 propanoic acid, C2H5COOH. FB 6 is an organic liquid that does not mix with water. (a) Preparation of the mixture in Flask A. 1. Flask A is a stoppered flask that contains 40 cm3 of FB 6. 2. Use a 50 cm3 measuring cylinder to place 50 cm3 of FA 2 into Flask A. 3. Replace the stopper in the flask. 4. Shake the flask vigorously for about 1 minute. 5. Leave the flask to stand on the workbench for about 10 minutes. 6. Shake the flask vigorously again for about 1 minute during the 10 minute duration. While the flask is standing on the workbench, you may move on to the next question. (b) Titrations 1. Fill the burette with FA 1. 2. Ensure the two layers in Flask A have separated – this should take no longer than 1 minute after shaking the flask. 3. Pipette 10.0 cm 3 of the lower (aqueous) layer into a conical flask. Attach the pipette filler to the pipette before inserting it into the mixture. 4. Replace the stopper in the flask. 5. Titrate the acid in the conical flask with FA 1 , using thymolphthalein indicator. The end-point is reached when the solution in the flask becomes a permanent pale blue colour. 6. Repeat steps 3 to 5 until consistent titre values are obtained.

5 H2 Chemistry 9729/04 NYJC J2/20 PX [Turn over 2 Determination of the concentration of sulfuric acid, FA 4 and its enthalpy change of reaction with aqueous sodium hydroxide. The enthalpy change of neutralisation, Hn, is the enthalpy change when one mole of water is formed during a neutralisation reaction as shown in the equation. H+(aq) + OH(aq) H2O(l) The enthalpy change of neutralisation between an acid and an alkali can be determined by adding various volumes of acid and alkali and measuring the change in temperature. It is possible to make use of this fact to determine the equivalence point of a neutralisation reaction without the use of an indicator. The equivalence point is the point where H+(aq) from the acid and OH–(aq) from the base are present in equal molar amounts. Using this process, you are to perform a series of experiments where different volumes of alkali are added to a fixed volume of 25 cm 3 of sulfuric acid while keeping the total volume of the solution at 100 cm 3 by adding appropriate volumes of water and determining the temperature change, T, for each experiment. You will then plot a graph of T against volume of NaOH used. Volume of NaOH / cm3 T / °C 0 Tmax z You are to determine experimentally z, the exact volume of NaOH which reacts with 25 cm3 of H2SO4 Tmax You are provided with the following reagents: FA 3 is 1.50 mol dm3 NaOH FA 4 is H2SO4 of approximate concentration 1.0 mol dm3 deionised water
6 H2 Chemistry 9729/04 NYJC J2/20 PX (a) Method Experiment 1 1. Using a 100 cm3 measuring cylinder, place 25 cm 3 of FA 4 and 65 cm3 of deionised water into the styrofoam cup provided. Place the cup inside a 250 cm3 glass beaker to prevent it from tipping over. 2. Measure and record the initial temperature of the mixture of FA 4 and water. 3. Using another 100 cm 3 measuring cylinder , measure 10 cm 3 of FA 3 . Measure and record the initial temperature of FA 3. 4. Calculate and record the average initial temperature. 5. Add FA 3 quickly from the second measuring cylinder into the cup. Cover the cup with lid provided and stir the mixture immediately. Measure the maximum temperature obtained. Record this temperature. 6. Calculate and record the change in temperature, T. 7. Wash and carefully dry the styrofoam cup. Experiment 2 Repeat experiment 1 above using 45 cm3 of water and 30 cm3 of FA 3 instead. Experiments 3, 4, 5 and 6 35 cm3 of FA 3 is a rough value of z. You are to perform four more experiments, each with a different volume of FA 3 added to 25 cm 3 FA 4 in order to plot a graph of the form shown on page 5 and to obtain an exact value for z.
7 H2 Chemistry 9729/04 NYJC J2/20 PX [Turn over Remember You should not use more than 60 cm3 of FA 3 for any experiments. You already have data for 10 cm3 of FA 3 a
