A student titrates 0.400 mol / dm3 aqueous sodium hydroxide with two samples of vinegar, A and B.
The student does four titrations, two with A and two with B.
The student:
Step 1. uses a volumetric pipette to add 25.0 cm3 of 0.400 mol / dm3 sodium hydroxide to a
conical flask
Step 2. adds five drops of an indicator to the conical flask
Step 3. adds A from a burette while swirling the contents of the flask, adding drop by drop
near the end‑point, until the solution just changes colour
Step 4. empties the conical flask and rinses it with distilled water
Step 5. repeats steps 1 to 4
Step 6. repeats steps 1 to 5 using B instead of A.

4 Baking powder is used to make cakes rise. When water is added to baking powder, carbon dioxide
gas is released.
The longer the baking powder is stored, the less carbon dioxide it releases when water is added.
Plan an investigation to show which of two different samples of baking powder has been stored for
longer.
Your plan should include the use of common laboratory apparatus, the two samples of baking
powder and water. No other chemicals should be used.

4 Baking soda is used to make bread rise. When baking soda is heated, it decomposes and
carbon dioxide gas is released.
Baking soda also decomposes gradually when it is stored. The longer the baking soda is stored,
the less carbon dioxide it releases when it is heated.
Plan an investigation to show which of two different samples of baking soda has been stored for
longer.
Your plan should include the use of common laboratory apparatus and the two samples of baking
soda. No other chemicals should be used.

Zinc and nickel both react with dilute hydrochloric acid. Copper does not react with dilute
hydrochloric acid.
Plan an investigation to find the percentage by mass of copper in a powdered sample of argentan.
Your plan must include the use of common laboratory apparatus, argentan and
dilute hydrochloric acid. No other chemicals should be used.

2 A student titrates four samples of aqueous sodium carbonate with 0.500 mol / dm3 dilute
hydrochloric acid, HCl (aq).
• rinses and fills a burette with 0.500 mol / dm3 HCl (aq)
• adds 25.0 cm3 of aqueous sodium carbonate to a conical flask
• adds methyl orange indicator to the conical flask
• adds HCl (aq) from the burette while swirling the flask, adding drop by drop near the end-point,
until the solution just changes colour.
(a) Fig. 2.1 shows the burette readings for two of the titrations.
