Maximum heat is given out when stoichiometric amounts of H + and OH– are added together. FA 1 is an aqueous solution prepared by mixing equal volumes of y mol dm3 hydrochloric acid, HCl, and y mol dm3 sulfuric acid, H2SO4 FA 2 is 2.00 mol dm3 sodium hydroxide, NaOH In this question, you are to follow the neutralisation of known volumes of FA 2 , NaOH , by measuring the highest temperature obtained as different volumes of FA 1 are added. By measuring the maximum temperature rise for different mixtures of the two reagents, you are to determine the following. the value of y, concentration of the acids present in FA 1 the enthalpy change of neutralisation, Hneut, for the reaction H+(aq) + OH(aq) H2O(l) (a) Method 1 Fill the burette with FA 2. 2 Support the Styrofoam cup in a 250 cm3 glass beaker. 3 Run 20.00 cm3 FA 2 from the burette into the Styrofoam cup. Stir and measure the temperature of this FA 2. 4 Measure 20 cm3 FA 1 in a measuring cylinder. 5 Tip the FA 1 in the measuring cylinder into the FA 2 cup, stir and record the maximum temperature obtained in the reaction. 6 Rinse and carefully dry the Styrofoam cup. 7 Repeat steps 1 to 6 three more times, each time using 20.00 cm 3 of FA 2. Use 30.0 cm3, 40.0 cm3 and 50.0 cm3 of FA 1 respectively in these different experiments. Carry out two further experiments. Choose volumes of FA 1 which will allow you to investigate more precisely the volume of FA 1 that produces the highest temperature rise when added to 20.00 cm3 of FA 2. Record your results in an appropriate format in the next page. Record all measurements of volume, temperature and temperature change, T.

4 © DHS 2019 9729/04 (iii) Read from the graph the maximum temperature change, Tmax, and the volume, Vneut, of FA 1 needed to obtain this value. Record these values in the spaces provided below. maximum temperature change, Tmax = ………………….C volume of FA 1 used at Tmax = Vneut = ………………. cm3 [1] (b) Use your results from (a)(iii) to calculate: (i) the concentration, in mol dm3, of the hydrogen ions in FA 1. concentration of hydrogen ions in FA 1 = ………………………………… [1] (ii) Hence, the value of y. value of y is ………………………………….. [1] (iii) the heat change for the reaction and hence the enthalpy change of neutralisation, Hneut, for the reaction H+(aq) + OH(aq) H2O(l) [Assume that 4.18 J of energy is needed to raise the temperature of 1 g of the solution by 1 K] [4]
5 © DHS 2019 9729/04 (c) A student suggested using a burette rather than a measuring cylinder to measure the volume of FA 1 to improve the precision in volume measurement. However, he was advised not to do so by his teacher. Suggest a disadvantage of using a burette and explain how the calculated Hneut would be affected if volume of FA 1 had been added from a burette. Disadvantage: ………………………………………………………………………...…………………………….[1] Explanation: ………………………………………………………………………………………...…...…...……. ………………………………………………………………………………………...…...…...……. ………………………………………………………………………………………...…...…...……. ………………………………………………………………………………………..……………..[1] [Total:17]
6 © DHS 2019 9729/04 2 Determination of calcium ion concentration using complexometric titration The calcium content of milk and tap water and the amount of calcium carbonate in various solid samples can be determined using complexometric titrations. This method uses ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, EDTA, which forms a complex with calcium ions in a 1:1 ratio. A blue dye called Patton –Reeder indicator is used to identify the end –point. The dye forms a pink complex with calcium ions. As this complex is less stable than the EDTA complex, the dye is displaced by EDTA as the titration proceeds . The solution turns blue at the end–point due to the uncomplexed dye. FA 3 is a brand of milk. In 2(a), you perform titrations to determine the calcium content of milk. You are also provided with FA 2, 2.00 mol dm3 sodium hydroxide, NaOH FA 4, 0.0170 mol dm–3 EDTA Patton–Reeder indicator As EDTA is harmful to the environment, FA 4 should be disposed in the waste bottle. You should also wear gloves throughout the experiment. (a) (i) 1. Fill the burette with FA 4. 2. Use a pipette to transfer 10.0 cm3 of FA 3 into a 250 cm3 conical flask. 3. Using appropriate measuring cylinders, add 36.0 cm 3 of deionised water then 8.0 cm 3 of FA 2 into the conical flask. Swirl and allow the solution to stand for about 2 minutes. 4. Add half a spatula of Patton–Reeder indicator into the conical flask and swirl the mixture to dissolve the indicator. The mixture is pink at this point. 5. Run FA 4 from the burette into the conical flask. The end–point is reached when the mixture loses all trace of purple and turns blue . As the colour change is gradual, you will find it helpful to compare against the original and / or final colour of another sample. 6. At the end of the experiment, contents of the conical flask should be disposed in the waste bottle. 7. Record your titration results, to an appropriate level of precision, in the space provided on the next page.
7 © DHS 2019 9729/04 Titration results [3] (ii) From your titrations, obtain a suitable volume of FA 4 , VFA 4, to be used in your calculations. Show clearly how you obtained this volume. VFA 4 = ………………. cm3 [2] (b) (i) Calculate the concentration of calcium ions present in FA 3 using your answer in (a)(ii). concentration of calcium ions in FA 3 = ………………………………… [1]
