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

C is a mixture of two simple salts. Carry out the following exercises on C. Record your observations and identify any gases evolved. State the conclusion you draw from the result

(a)(i) Put all C in a boiling tube or beaker and add about 10cm\(^{3}\) of distilled water Stir the mixture thoroughly and tilter Keep both the residue and the filtrate

(ii) Test the filtrate with litmus paper.

 

(b) Divide the filtrate of two portions

(i) To the first portion of the filtrate. add about 2cm\(^3\) of dilute trioxonitrate (v) acid and then silver trioxonitrate (v) solution

(ii) To the second portion of the filtrate, add sodium hydroxide solution in drops until it is in excess.

 

(c) Put half of the residue in a test tube and heat strongly. Allow to cool

 

(d)(i) Put the remaining half of the residue in a test tube and add about 2cm\(^3\) of dilute hydrochloric acid.

(ii) To the resulting solution from (d(i)) above, add aqueous ammonia in drops until it is in excess.

 All your burette readings (initial and final), as well as the size of your pipette, must be recorded but no account of experimental procedure is required. All calculations must be done in your answer book.

A is a solution containing 6.3g dm\(^{-3}\) of impure ethanoic acid. B is 0.10mol. dm\(^{-3}\) sodium hydroxide sodium hydroxide solution.

(a) Put A into the burette and titrate with 20.0cm\(^3\) or 25.0cm\(^3\) portions of B using phenolphthalein as indicator. Record the volume of your pipette Record the volume of your pipette. Tabulate your burette readings and calculate the volume of A used.

(b) From your result and the information provided, calculate the

(i) concentration of solution A in mol.dm\(^{-3}\) 

(ii) Concentration of solution A in dm\(^{-3}\) and hence the percentage purity of the ethanoic acid,

(iii) Volume of solution A that would neutralize a solution containing 0.005 mole of sodium hydroxide. The equation for the reaction is;

H\(_2\)C\(_2\)O\(_{4(aq)}\) + 2NaOH\(_{(aq)}\) \(\to\) Na\(_2\)C\(_2\)O\(_{(aq)}\) + 2H\(_2\)O\(_{(l)}\) [H = 1; C = 12. O = 16]

(c)(i) What would be the colour of methylorange indicator in solution B?

(ii) Give the reason why methylorange is not a suitable indicator for titration.

(a) Draw a labelled sketch of the laboratory set-up for dissolving hydrogen chloride acid.

(ii) Give one chemical test to distinguish between hydrochloric acid and ethanoic acid

(b) Outline a suitable laboratory procedure for obtaining a fairly pure sample of sodium chloride crystals from a solution of it that is contaminated with some methyl orange:

(c) Name one substance used in the laboratory for:

(i) drying ammonia gas,

(ii) testing for the presence of water;

(iii) converting copper (I) oxide to copper.

C and D are samples of two different simple salts. Carry out the following exercises on them. Record your observations and identify any gases evolved. State the conclusion you draw from the result of each test.

a) Heat about one-half of C in a dry test tube until no further change is observed. Allow to cool.

(b)(i) To the cooled residue from (a) above, add about 5cm\(^3\) of dilute hydrochloric acid and warm.

(ii) To about 2cm\(^3\) of the clear solution from (b)(i) above add aqueous ammonia in drops until it is in excess.

(c)  Put all of D in a boiling tube and add about 10cm\(^3\) of distilled water. Shake thoroughly and divide into two portions.

(d)(i) To the first portion from (c) above, add about 2cm\(^3\) of barium chloride solution, followed by dilute hydrochloric acid in excess. Warm the mixture.

(ii) To the second portion from (c) above, add 2 or 3 of acidified potassium tetraoxomanganate (VII) solution and shake.
