5 A mixture of solids at sua pan contains anhydrous sodium carbonate.
To determine the percentage purity of sodium carbonate in the mixture, 8g of the mixture
was dissolved in water and the solution was made to 5O0cm3. 25cm3 of this solution is
neutralised by 40cm3 of 0.1 mol/dms hydrochloric acid. Methyl orange indicator was used to
show the end point.

To determine the energy change of a reaction, 25.0cm3 of sodium hydroxide

solution was
poured into a polystyrene cup. Different volumes of hydrochloric acid
were added to the
sodium hydroxide and the mixture was stirred. The maximum temperature reached
was
measured and recorded in table 6.1.
