Labelled suitable functional apparatus (bottle or cup 1

silver nitrate and sodium chloride solution 1
Procedure :
1. (20 100) cm3 of (0.01- 2.0) mol dm-3 silver nitrate
solution is measured and pour into a plastic cup and the initial
temperature, T1 is recorded. 1
2. (20 100) cm3 of (0.01- 2.0) mol dm-3 sodium chloride is
measured and the initial temperature, T2 is recorded. 1
3. Sodium chloride solution is quickly poured into the plastic
cup containing silver nitrate solution. 1
4.The mixture in the cup is stirred using the thermometer. 1
5.The highest temperature is recorded.
Results : [ for 25cm3 solution and 0.5 mol dm - 3
concentration]
Initial temperature of reactants mixture = (T1 + T2) / 2
= T
Highest temperature recorded = T3 1
Temperature increase = T3 T1 1
Heat change = mc
= 50 x 4.2 x
(T3 - T1) J 1
= aJ
Number of moles of silver
chloride formed = (25 x 0.5)/ 1000
= b mol 1 ...12

The atoms are of the same size and arranged in an orderly

1
manner
The layers of atoms slide over one another easily when a
force is applied 1
Brass

The copper atoms and zinc atoms in its lattice structure. 1

The presence of zinc atoms of different size disrupts the
orderly arrangement of the copper atoms in brass 1
This makes it difficult for the layers of atoms to slide over 1
one another when a force is applied. 1 7

10 (a) (i) [able to give a suitable example to explain the meaning of
redox reaction in term of change in the oxidation number]

Example :
Mg + Zn 2+ Mg2+ + Zn / reaction
between magnesium and zinc ion // zinc solution 1

-Redox reaction is a reaction in which oxidation and

reduction occur at the same time 1
-Oxidation number of magnesium increases from
0 to +2. Therefore magnesium undergoes oxidation. 1
2+
-Oxidation number of Zn decreases from +2 to 0.
Therefore zinc ion undergoes reduction. 1 4
