FA 1 is 0.0265 mol dm–3 potassium manganate(VII), KMnO4(aq) FA 2 is 0.0750 mol dm–3 XO3– oxidant solution. X is the symbol of an element whose identity is not needed in this question. FA 3 is a solution containing 0.150 mol dm–3 iron(II) ions, Fe2+. FA 3 solution is prepared by dissolving an iron(II) salt in sulfuric acid. In the presence of acid, XO3– oxidises iron(II) to iron(III) while itself is reduced to X b+. In order to determine b, a sample of XO3– is added to a known amount of iron(II) in excess. The amount of remaining iron(II) ions can then be determined by titration against manganate(VII) ions as shown in equation 1. equation 1 MnO4–(aq) + 8H+(aq) + 5Fe2+(aq) → Mn2+(aq) + 5Fe3+(aq) + 4H2O(l) (a) Procedure 1. Pipette 25.0 cm3 of FA 3 into a conical flask. 2. Using another pipette, add exactly 10.0 cm3 of FA 2 to FA 3 in the conical flask. 3. Fill the burette with FA 1. 4. Titrate the mixture in the conical flask with FA 1 until the appearance of the first permanent pale orange or pale pink colour. 5. Repeat the titration as many times as you think necessary to obtain accurate results. 6. Record your results of titration in a suitable tabulated form below. Results [2]

FA 4 contains 0.0250 mol dm–3 acidified iron(III) chloride, FeCl3 FA 5 is 0.0800 mol dm−3 aqueous potassium iodide, KI FA 6 is 0.00500 mol dm−3 sodium thiosulfate, Na2S2O3 starch solution Fe3+ ions oxidise iodide ions, I–, to iodine, I2, as shown in equation 2. In this experiment, you will investigate how the rate of this reaction is affected by the concentration of Fe3+ ions. equation 2 2Fe3+(aq) + 2I−(aq) → 2Fe2+(aq) + I2(aq) A fixed and small amount of thiosulfate ions, S2O32–, and starch indicator will be added to a mixture of Fe3+(aq) and I–(aq). The iodine, I2, produced reacts immediately with thiosulfate ions, S 2O32−, as shown in equation 3. equation 3 I2(aq) + 2S2O32−(aq) → 2I−(aq) + S4O62−(aq) When all the thiosulfate has been used, the iodine produced will turn starch indicator blue-black. The rate of the reaction can therefore be measured by finding the time it takes for the reaction mixture to turn blue–black. You will perform a series of four experiments. In the series of experiments, the rate equation for the reaction can be simplified to rate = k’[Fe3+]n, where n is the order of reaction with respect to [Fe3+] and k’ is k[I−]2. You will graphically analyse your results to determine n. For each experiment, you will note the volume of FA 4 added, VFA 4, and the time taken, t, to the nearest second, for the reaction mixture to become blue-black. In each experiment, you will need to ensure that the same total volume of reaction mixture is used by adding deionised water as required. (a) Prepare a table in the space provided on page 8 in which to record, to an appropriate level of precision: • volumes of FA 4, VFA 4, and deionised water, • all values of t, • all calculated values of 1 t , Ig 1 t   and Ig(VFA 4).
