ALTERNATIVE TO PRACTICAL A

A  is a solution of KMnO\(_4\) containing 0.020 moldm\(^{-3}\). B is a solution of Fe\(^{2+}\) obtained by dissolving 3.8 g of iron granules in 250 cm\(^3\) of solution.

(a)Put A in the burette. Pipette 20.0 cm\(^3\) or 25 cm\(^3\) of B into a conical flask and add 10 cm\(^3\) of H\(_2\)SO\(_4\). Titrate it with A.

     Repeat the titration to obtain concordant titre values. Tabulate your result and calculate the average volume of A used. 

     MnO\(_4\)\(^-\)\(_{(aq)}\) +  5Fe\(^{2+}\)\(_{(aq)}\)  +  8H\(^+\)\(_{(aq)}\) → Mn\(^{2+}\)\(_{(aq)}\)  + Fe\(^{3+}\)\(_{(aq)}\) +  4H\(_2\)O\(_{(l)}\)                 

[ KMnO\(_4\) = 158.0, Fe = 56.0 ]

(b) From your results and information provided, calculate the:

(i) concentration of B in moldm\(^{-3}\)

(ii)concentration of B in gdm\(^{-3}\)

(iii) mass of Fe\(^{2+}\) in 250 cm\(^3\) of B.

(iv) percentage of Fe\(^{2+}\) in the granules.

1989

C is a mixture of two simple inorganic salts, one of which is a sodium salt.

Perform the following exercises on C. Record your observation and identify any gas(es) evolved. State the conclusions you draw from the results of each test.

(a) Put all of C into a test tube and add about 10 cm\(^3\) of distilled water and shake.

b(i) Put about 2 cm\(^3\) of the filtrate into a boiling tube and heat strongly.

  (ii) Put half of the residue into a test tube and add dil. HCl.

  (iii) To about 2 cm\(^3\) of the clear solution from b(ii), add aqueous NaOH in drops, then in excess.

  (iv) To another 2 cm\(^3\) of the clear solution from b(ii), add aqueous ammonia in drops, then in excess.
