    STUDENT NAME ……………………………………………………………..CLASS


    ……………………………………………….

    You are provided with

     5.3 g of substance A ,labeled solid A


     Solution B ,0.05M hydrochloric acid
     Methyl orange indicator

    You are required to determine the


     Solubility of substance A in water
     Relative formula mass of substance A

    Procedure 1
    I. Place 200 cm3 of tap water in a 250 ml beaker and use it for use in step (VI)
    II. Place all of substance A in a dry boiling tube
    III. Using a burette , measure 10.0 cm3 of distilled water and add it to the substance A in the
    boiling tube
    IV. While stirring the mixture in the boiling tube with a thermometer, warm the mixture
    using a Bunsen burner until the temperature rises to 700C .Stop warming the mixture.
    V. Allow it to cool while stirring with the thermometer
    VI. When temperature drops to 600C , start the stop watch, place the boiling tube in the
    beaker with tap water prepared in step (1) above
    VII. Continue stirring and record the temperature of the mixture after two minutes , then
    thereafter record the temperature of the mixture after every one minute interval and
    complete table 1

    PROCEDURE II

    Using a funnel, transfer all the mixture obtained from the procedure 1 into a 250 ml volumetric
    flask. Rinse the boiling tube and the thermometer with about 20 cm3 of distilled water and add
    the rinse into the volumetric flask .Repeat the rinsing two more times .Add about 100cm3 of
    distilled water to the volumetric flask .Shake until all the solid dissolves .Add more distilled
    water to the mark .Label this solution A .Fill the burette with solution A .Using pipette and
    pipette filler ,place 25.0 cm3 of solution B into a 250 ml conical flask .Add 3 drops of methyl
    orange indicator provided and titrate using solution A .Record your reading in table 2
    below .Repeat the titration two more times and complete the table
