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

State the observation that would be made when each of the following reactions is carried out in the laboratory:

(a) Addition of 2 cm\(^3\) of bench H\(_2\)SO\(_{4(aq)}\) to 2 cm\(^{3}\) of barium chloride solution;

(b) Addition of 2 cm\(^3\) of dilute hydrochloric acid to 1g of powered iron(II) sulphide (FeS):

F is 2 mixture of two inorganic salts. Carry out the following exercises on F. Record your observations and identify any gas(es) evolved. State the conclusions you draw from the result of each test.

(a) Put all of F in a beaker and add about 10 cm\(^3\) of distilled water. Stir well and filter. Keep the filtrate and the residue.

(b)(i) To about 2cm\(^3\) of the filtrate. add NaOH\(_{(aq)}\) in drops and then in excess.

(ii) To another 2cm\(^3\) portion of the solution, add a few drops of NH3\(_{(aq)}\) in drops and then in excess.

(c) To about 2cm\(^3\) of the solution, add a few drops of HNO\(_{3(aq)}\) followed by few drops of the drops of AgNO\(_{3(aq)}\)

(d)(i) Put all the residue into a clean test-tube and add HNO\(_{3(aq)}\) 

(ii) To a portion of the solution from (d)(i)) add NaOH\(_{(aq)}\) in drops and then in excess.

All your burette readings (initials 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 booklet.

A is 0.200 moldm\(^3\) of HCl. C is a solution containing 14.3g of Na2CO\(_{3}\).xH\(_2\)O in 500 cm\(^3\) of solution.

a) Put A into the burette and titrate it against 20.0 cm\(^3\) or 25.0cm\(^3\) portions of C using methyl orange as indicator. Repeat the titration to obtain Consistent titre values. Tabulate vour results and calculate the average volume of A used. The equation for the reaction is;

Na\(_2\)CO\(_3\) . xH\(_2\)O + 2HCl\(_{(aq)}\) \(\to\) 2NaCl\(_{(aq)}\) + CO\(_{2(g)}\) + (x + 1)\(_3\)H\(_2\)O\(_{(l)}\)

 

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

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

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

(iii) molar mass of Na\(_2\)CO\(_3\) . xH\(_2\)O

(iv) the value of x in Na\(_2\)CO\(_3\) . xH\(_2\)O. [H =1.0; C = 12.0; O = 16.0; Na = 23.0]

Credit will be given for strict adherence to the instruction, for observations precisely recorded and for accurale references. All tests. obsenations and influences must be cleary entered in the booklet in ink at the same time they are made.

(a) What difference in physical properties enable the separation of mixtures by:

(i) simple distillation,

(ii) paper chromatography;

(iii) fractional distillation.

 

(b) Give a reason for each of the following practices during titration in the laboratory.

(i) White tile is placed under the conical flask.

(ii) Burette readings are always recorded to two decimal places.

(iii) Calculate the volume of 2.5 moldm\(^{-3}\) stock HČI required to prepare 500 cm\(^3\) of 0.20 moldm HCI.
