1. You are provided with;

- Solution A containing 6.95g of Iron II Sulphate heptahydrate R.F.M = 278 in 250cm3 of solution
- Solution B of potassium manganate (VII)
- Solution C of hydrogen peroxide.

You are required to

(a) Standardize the potassium manganate (VII) solution C
(b) Determine the concentration of hydrogen peroxide solution C.

PROCEDURE I
Pipette 25cm3 of solution A into a conical flask.
Fill the burette with solution B. Titrate this solution against solution A until the first permanent pink
colour appears. Record your results in table I and repeat the procedure to fill the table 1 below.

2. You are provided with 4g of Solid F.
You are required to determine the solubility of solid F at different temperatures.
PROCEDURE
a) Carefully transfer all solid F in a clean boiling test tube and using a burette, add 15cm 3 of distilled water.
Heat the mixture while stirring with a thermometer to about 850C. when all the solid has dissolved, allow
the solution to cool while stirring with the thermometer. Note the temperature at which the crystals of
solid F first appear. Record this temperature in Table III.

b) Transfer 5cm3 of distilled water to the contents in the boiling tube. Warm the mixture while stirring with
the thermometer until the solid dissolve. Allow the mixture to cool while stirring. Note and record the
temperature at which crystals first appear.
c) Repeat procedure (b) two or more times and record the temperatures in table III.
d) Complete table III by calculating the solubility of solid F at the different temperatures.
