1 P is a solution of hydrochloric acid (HCl) of unknown concentration. You are to determine its
concentration by titrating it against solution Q, which is 0.100 mol/dm3 sodium hydroxide.

(a) Determination of the concentration of the acid in P

Put P into the burette.

Pipette a 25.0 cm3 (or 20.0 cm3) portion of Q into a flask and titrate with P, using the
indicator provided.

Record your results in the table, repeating the titration as many times as you consider
necessary to achieve consistent results.

Results

Burette readings

Titration number 1 2

Final reading / cm3

Initial reading / cm3

Volume of P used / cm3

Best titration results (✓)

Summary

Tick (✓) the best titration results.

Using these results, the average volume of P required was …………… cm3.

Volume of solution Q used …………… cm3. [12]

(b) Q is 0.100 mol/dm3 sodium hydroxide.

Using your results from (a), calculate the concentration, in mol/dm3, of the hydrochloric
acid in P.

Concentration of hydrochloric acid in P......................... mol/dm3. [2]

Use
2 You are provided with solutions of two sodium salts, R and S. Carry out the following tests
and record your observations in the table. You should test and name any gas evolved.

Tests on Solution R

Test
Test Observations
no.

1 (a) To a portion of solution R, add an

equal volume of dilute
hydrochloric acid and allow the
mixture to stand for a few
minutes.

(b) Warm the mixture from (a) gently.

2 To a portion of acidified potassium

manganate(VII), add an equal volume
of solution R and allow the mixture to
stand for a few minutes.

3 To a portion of aqueous silver nitrate,

add an equal volume of solution R and
leave to stand until no further change
is seen.

4 (a) To a portion of solution R, add an

equal volume of aqueous lead(II)
nitrate.

(b) Add dilute nitric acid to the

mixture from (a).
