4 1. A student investigated the reaction between potassium manganate(VII) and a metallic salt For
solution. Examiner's
Use
Experiment 1
(a) About 1 cm3 of aqueous sodium hydroxide was added to a little of the salt solution A
and the observation noted.
(b) A burette was filled with potassium manganate(VII) solution up to the 0.0 cm3 mark.
By using a measuring cylinder, 25 cm3 of solution A of the salt was placed into a conical
flask. The flask was shaken to mix the contents.
The potassium manganate(VII) solution was added to the flask, and shaken to mix
thoroughly. Addition of potassium manganate(VII) solution was continued until there
was a pale pink colour in the contents of the flask.
Use the burette diagram to record the volume in the table and complete the column.

Experiment 2
(c) Experiment 1(b) was repeated using a different solution B of the salt, instead of solution
A. Use the burette diagrams to record the volumes in the table and complete the table.
