Answer all questions.

1 Diagram 1.1 shows the apparatus set up for an experiment to construct the
electrochemical series based on the potential difference between pairs of metals in a
simple voltaic cell.
Copper plate is paired with zinc, lead, iron, aluminium and magnesium metals in
Cell I, Cell II, Cell III, Cell IV and Cell V respectively. In each cell, copper acts as
the positive terminal.

2 Diagram 2 shows the apparatus set up for titration of 25.0 cm3 of 1.0 mol dm-3 of
potassium hydroxide, KOH solution with dilute hydrochloric acid, HCl.
Phenolphthalein is used as an indicator.

Dilute hydrochloric
acid

Potassium hydroxide +
phenolphthalein

Diagram 2

Based on this situation, plan one experiment in the laboratory to determine the
concentration of hydrochloric acid by finding the end point of titration. Your
planning should include the following aspects.

(a) Aim of the experiment

(b) Statement of the hypothesis
(c) All the variables
(d) List of substances and apparatus
(e) Procedure of the experiment
(f) Tabulation of data
