6 A student wants to investigate the pH changes
when an acid reacts with an alkali.
He puts 5 cm3 of the acid in a tube.
He adds the alkali 1 cm3 at a time.
Each time he adds 1 cm3 alkali, he
measures the pH of the solution.
His results are shown on the graph.
(a) Suggest how the student could measure the pH of the solution.
(1)
(b) Which volume of alkali is added to make the solution neutral? Tick one box.
A 1 cm3
B 3 cm3
C 5 cm3
D 7 cm3
(1)
(c) Explain what the graph shows.

(Total for Question 7 = 2 marks)
8 A student investigates the temperature rise when different acids react with sodium hydroxide
solution.
She measures 10 cm3 of sodium hydroxide solution and records the temperature.
She adds 10 cm3 of an acid to the sodium hydroxide solution and records the new temperature.
She calculates the temperature rise.
She repeats the experiment with the same volume of the sodium hydroxide solution but adds
different types of acid.
Her results are in the table.
Type of acid added to sodium hydroxide solution Temperature rise (°C)
citric acid 3.5
hydrochloric acid 13.6
nitric acid 13.6
vinegar (ethanoic acid) 6.8
