Burette readings (initial and final) must be given to two decimal places. Volume of pipette used must also be recorded but no account of experimental procedure is required. All calculations must be done in your answer book.

A is a solution of hydrochloric acid. B is a solution containing 2.45g of anhydrous sodium trioxocarbonate (IV) in 250g of solution.

(a) Put A into the burette and titrate it against 20.0 cm\(^3\) or 25.0 cm\(^3\) portion of B using methyl orange as an indicator. Repeat the exercise to obtain consistent titres. Tabulate your burette reading and calculate the average volume of A used. The equation for the reaction involved in the titration is Na\(_2\)CO\(_{3(aq)}\) + 2HCI\(_{(aq)}\) + H\(_2\)O\(_{(l)}\)

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

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

(ii) concentration of A in moldm\(^{-3}\)

(iii) concentration of A in gdm\(^{-3}\)

(iv) volume of the gas evolved in the reaction at s.t.p.

[H = 1.00; C: 12.0; O = 16.0; Na = 23.0; Na = 23.0; Cl = 35.5; Molar Volume = 22.4 dm\(^3\)mol\(^{-3}\)]

Credit will be given for strict adherence to the instructions, for observations precisely recorded, and for accurate inferences. AIl tests. observations and inferences must be clearly entered in your answer book, in ink, at the time they are made.

C is a double salt. Carry out the following exercises on C. Record your observations and identify any gas(es) evolved. State the conclusion drawn from the result of each test.

a) Put all of C into a test tube. Add about 5cm\(^3\) of distilled water, stir and test with litmus paper. Divide the Solution into two portions

(b) To the first portion, add sodium hydroxide solution in drops and then in excess. Heat the resulting mixture and keep it for minutes.

(c) To the second portion, add few drops of Bacl\(_{2(aq)}\) followed by excess dilute hydrochloric acid

Burette readings (initials and final) must be given to two decimal places. Volume of pipette used must also be recorded but no account experimental procedure is required. Al calculations must be done in your answer book. A solution containing 0.05moldm\(^3\) H\(_2\)SO\(_4\). B is a solution containing 1.4g per 250cm\(^3\) .XOH  

(a) Put A into the burette and titrate it against 20.0cm\(^3\) or 25.0cm\(^3\) portions of B using methyl orange indicator. Repeat the titration to obtain consistent titres. Tabulate your results and calculate the average volume of A used. The equation for the reaction involved in the titration is; H\(_2\)SO\(_{4(aq)}\) + 2XOH\(_{(aq)}\) \(\to\) X\(_2\)SO\(_{4(aq)}\) + 2H\(_2\)O\(_{(l)}\)

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

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

(ii) molar mass XOH

(iii) relative atomic mass of X. [H = 1.00; O = 16.0 S =32.0]

(a) Explain briefly the observations in each of the following processes:

(i) when carbon (IV) oxide is bubbled through lime water, It turns milky but the milkiness disappears when the gas is bubbled for a long time.

(ii) A precipitate of calcium hydroxide is insoluble in excess sodium hydroxide solution whereas that of lead (ii) hydroxide is soluble 

 

(b)(i) What is a primary standard solution?

(ii) Calculate the mass of sodium trioxocarbonate (V) required to prepare 250 cm\(^3\) of 0.15gmoldm\(^3\) solution hydroxide is soluble.  [Na = 23.0; O = 16.0; C = 12.0] 

 

(c) Name one gas that can be collected by 

(i) upward displacement of air 

(ii) downward displacement of air
