1. You are provided with;
Turn over
A dibasic acid, labeled solution P
Solution R containing 5.56g per litre of potassium carbonate
Aqueous sodium hydroxide, labeled solution T
You are required to determine the :
- Concentration of solution P in moles per litre
- Molar heat of neutralization of solution p with sodium hydroxide labeled solution T
A Procedure 1
Using a pipette and a pipette filler, place 25cm3 of solution P into a 250ml volumetric flask. Add water to
make 250cm3 of solution. Label this solution Q. Place solution Q in a burette. Clean the pipette and use it to
place 25.0cm3 of solution R into a conical flask. Add 2 drops of methyl orange indicator provided and titrate
with solution Q. Record your results in table 1. Repeat the titration two more time and complete the table.

(ii) Concentration of potassium carbonate in solution R (K = 39.0, O = 16.0, C = 12.0) (1 mk)
(ii) Concentration of dibasic acid in solution Q (2 mks)
(iii) Concentration of dibasic acid in solution P (1 mk)

Procedure 2
Clean the burette and fill it with solution T. Clean the pipette and use it to place 25.0cm3 of solution P into a
100cm3 plastic beaker. Measure the initial temperature of this solution and record it in table 2.
From the burette, place 5cm3 of solution T into the beaker containin 25.0cm3 of solution P, stir the mixture
carefully with a thermometer and record the highest temperature of the mixture in table 2. Place another
5cm3 of solution T into the mixture in the beaker, stir carefully and record the highest temperature of this
mixture in table2. Continue this procedure of placing 5cm3 portions of solution T and complete table 2.
