2 White vinegar is a colourless solution containing ethanoic acid.

A student titrates 0.400 mol / dm3 aqueous sodium hydroxide with two samples of vinegar, A and B.

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.

2 Sulfuric acid, H2SO4, is neutralised when it is added to aqueous sodium hydroxide, NaOH.

H2SO4 + 2NaOH Na2SO4 + 2H2O

The reaction is exothermic.

P is 1.25 mol / dm3 aqueous sodium hydroxide.


Q is dilute sulfuric acid.

A student determines the concentration of sulfuric acid in Q.

The student does six experiments.

The student:

Step 1. uses a volumetric pipette to add 25.0 cm3 of P to a plastic cup


Step 2. uses a measuring cylinder to add 20 cm3 of distilled water to the plastic cup
Step 3. stirs the mixture in the cup with a thermometer and records its temperature to the nearest
0.5 °C
Step 4. uses a burette to add 5.0 cm3 of Q to the plastic cup and stirs
Step 5. records the highest temperature reached
Step 6. empties the plastic cup and rinses it with water
Step 7. repeats steps 1–6 using five different volumes of distilled water and Q so that the total
volume in the cup is always 50 cm3.

The student’s results are in Table 2.1.

4 Muntz metal is an alloy that contains zinc and copper.

Zinc reacts with dilute sulfuric acid. Copper does not react with dilute sulfuric acid.

Plan an investigation to find the percentage by mass of zinc in a powdered sample of Muntz metal
which contains only zinc and copper.

Your plan must include the use of common laboratory apparatus, Muntz metal and dilute sulfuric acid.
No other chemicals should be used.

Your plan must include:

DO NOT WRITE IN THIS MARGIN


• the apparatus needed
• the method to use and the measurements to take
• procedures to ensure that the percentage determined is as accurate as possible
• how the measurements are used to determine the percentage by mass of zinc in the
sample of Muntz metal.

You may draw a diagram to help answer the question.
