1. You are provided with:-
(i) Solution M containing 1g of sodium hydroxide in 250cm³ of the solution.
(ii) 1.60g of a dibasic acid H2Y labelled solid Z.
(iii) Phenolphthalein indicator

You are required to:-

(a) Prepare 250cm³ of solution Z using solid Z.
(b) Determine the value of Y on the formular (H2Y).

PROCEDURE I:
(i) Place all of solid Z in a 250cm³ beaker.
(ii) Add about 100cm³ of distilled water to the beaker and swirl until all the solid
dissolves.
(iii) Transfer the solution into a 250cm³ volumetric flask.
(iv) Top up with distilled water to the mark and label it solution V.

Using a measuring cylinder transfer about 100cm³ of solution V into a 250cm³ beaker.
Preserve the rest in the volumetric flask for procedure II.
(a) Pipette 25cm³ of solution M into a clean conical flask. Add 3 drops of
phenolphthalein indicator to the 25cm³ solution in the conical flask.
(b) Fill the burette with solution V from the beaker.
(c) Titrate until the colour disappears.
(d) Repeat two more times and record your results in the table below.

PROCEDURE II:

You are provided with:-

- A thermometer
- A stopwatch
- 0.02M acidified potassium manganate (III) solution H.
- Solution V diabasic acid (H2Y)

You are required to determine how the rate of reaction of solution H potassium manganate (III)
with the dibasic acid (solution v) varies with change in temperature.
(i) Using a 10ml measuring cylinder place 1cm³ portions of solution H into five separate
test tubes.
(ii) Using a burette place 19cm³ of solution V into a boiling tube and insert a thermometer.
(iii) Warm the solution until the temperature reaches 40C.
(iv) Place the boiling tube in a test tube rack, then add the first portions of solution
3
 H and at the same time start the stopwatch.
(v) Record the time taken for the purple colour of the mixture to decolourise and record the
time in table II below.
(vi) Repeat the experiment by using 19cm³ of solution V at temperatures 50C,
60C, 70C and 80C and complete the table below.
