Question 1
An experiment is carried out to determine the end point of a neutralisation process. 50.00 cm3 of
aqueous potassium hydroxide 0.1 mol dm-3 is titrated against hydrochloric acid with an unknown
concentration using phenolphthalein as an indicator.
The titration is repeated twice. Figure 1 shows the results of the experiment.

Question 2
An experiment was conducted to find out the effect of temperature on the rate of reaction.
50 cm3 of sodium thiosulphate solution 0.05 mol dm-3 at 30 oC was put into a 250 cm3 conical
flask. Then the conical flask was placed on an ‘X’ sign on a piece of white paper.
10 cm3 of hydrochloric acid 1.0 mol dm-3 was added to the sodium thiosulphate solution and
shaken. At the same time, the stop watch was started. The stop watch was stopped as soon as
the ‘X’ sign was no longer visible.
The same steps of the experiment were repeated for sodium thiosulphate solution which was
heated to
35 oC, 40 oC, 45 oC, 50 oC,

Figure 2 shows the readings of the stop watch for each of the reactions at different
temperatures.

Question 4

Equal volume of water is heated in two different copper container. Container 1

is heated by using alcohol X while container 2 is heated by using alcohol Y.

It was discovered that the mass of alcohol X needed to boil the water is more
compared to alcohol Y.

Plan a laboratory experiment to compare the heat of combustion between alcohol X and Y
based on the above situation.

Your planning should include the following aspects:

(a) Problem statement

(b) All the variables

(c) Statement of hypothesis

(d) List of substances and apparatus

(e) Procedure of the experiment

(f ) Tabulation of data
