1 Reactions between alkalis and acids are exothermic. The change in temperature when aqueous
sodium hydroxide is added to dilute hydrochloric acid of known concentration can be used to
determine the concentration of the alkali.

P is 1.50 mol/dm3 hydrochloric acid.

Q is aqueous sodium hydroxide.

(a) (i) Put P into a burette and use it to measure 10 cm3 of P into a plastic cup. Measure the
temperature of P to the nearest 0.5 °C and record the value in column D of the table.
(ii) Using a measuring cylinder, measure 40 cm3 of Q as accurately as possible. Pour this
volume of Q into the plastic cup containing P. Stir, using the thermometer, and measure
the highest temperature reached. Record the value in column E of the table.
(iii) Empty the plastic cup and rinse it with water.
(iv) Repeat the procedure described in (i) to (iii) but using the different volumes of P and Q
given in columns B and C of the table for experiments 2 to 7.
(v) For each experiment, calculate the temperature rise and record the value in column F.

(b) Plot a graph of temperature rise (column F) against volume of P (column B) on the grid
opposite. Using these points, draw two intersecting straight lines. [2]

2 You are provided with solutions R and S.

Carry out the following tests and record your observations in the table. You should test and name
any gas evolved.

test
test observations
no.
1 To 2 cm depth of R in a test-tube,
add a piece of magnesium.

2 (a) To 1 cm depth of R in a test-

tube, add a few drops of
aqueous silver nitrate.

(b) To the mixture from (a), add

dilute nitric acid.

3 To 2 cm depth of R in a boiling tube,

add an equal volume of S and warm
the mixture gently.

Place over the mouth of the boiling

tube, a piece of filter paper which
has been soaked in acidified
aqueous potassium manganate(VII).

4 To 1 cm depth of aqueous iodine in a

test-tube, add S.

5 To 2 cm depth of aqueous silver

nitrate in a test-tube, add a few
drops of S and leave to stand until
no further change is seen.
