(a) The student carries out an investigation to find out the concentration of each solution. * Using a measuring cylinder he places 5.cm of solution C in a test-tube. He adds a 1m piece of magnesium ribbon to this test-tube and starts the stopclock. When the magnesium ribbon has completely reacted and disappeared he stops the stopotock. © Ifthe magnesium ribbon is still present after 3 minutes, he records this time as 7180s. * He repeats the above procedure for solutions D and E. solutions D and E.

He uses a load L of 100g, a metre rule and a pivot. 50.0. mark ‘400.00m Fig. 3.1 He places the load on the rule so that its centre is at a distance d= 5.0cm from the zero end of the rule, as shown in Fig. 3.1. He adjusts the position of the pivot so that the rule balances on it. (a) Fig. 3.2 shows the position of the pivot at balance.
