QUESTION 1
 You are provided with solution K and L

1
 Solution K is 1M H2SO4
 Solution L contains 8.7g of the hydroxide of metal M (with formulae MOH) in
600cm3 of the solution
 You are required to carry out the experiment to determine;
i. Concentration of solution L
ii. R.A.M of metal M
Procedure
1. Measure 75cm3 of solution K and put into a clean 250cm3 volumetric flask and
add distilled water up to the mark
-label this solution W
2. Fill a clean burette with solution W
3. Pipette 25cm3 of solution L into a clean conical flask and add 2 drops of
phenolphthalein indicator
4. Titrate the solution W in the burette against solution L in the conical flask and
record the results in the table below
5. Repeat {3} and {4} above as you fill the table below.

QUESTION 2

You are provided with solution N and P

3
 Solution N is 2M HCl
 Solution P is 0.16M sodium thiosulphate
 You are required to carry out the experiment below to determine how
concentration affects the rate of reaction between HCl and sodium thiosulphate
solutions

PROCEDURE

1. Fill a clean burette with solution P.


Measure 25cm3 of the solution P from the burette into a clean 100cm3 glass
beaker and place on a white piece of paper with a cross[x] marked on it
2. Add 10cm3 of solution N into it and immediately start a stop watch and note the
time taken for the cross beneath the mixture to become invisible
3. Clean the 100cm3 beaker and measure into it 20cm3 of solution P form the
burette, and add 5cm3 of distilled water into the solution solution
4. Repeat step [2] above and note the time taken for the cross to become invisible
5. Repeat the experiment using volumes indicated on the table below and as you
record the results
