The Examiner 3 SET 1
1. You are provided with:-
5.0 g of Solid T, in a boiling tube
Solution Q , 0.3 M solution of sodium hydroxide
You are required to determine:
(i) Solubility of solid T.
(ii) The number of moles of water of crystallization in Solid T
Procedure I
(i) Fill the burette with distilled water
(ii) Place solid T in the boiling tube
(iii) Transfer 4cm3 of distilled water from the burette into the boiling tube
containing solid T. Heat the mixture while stirring with the thermometer
to a temperature of 800
(iv) Allow the solution to cool while stirring with the thermometer.
Record
the temperature at which crystals start to form in the table 1 below
(v) Add a further 2cm3 of distilled water from the burette to the mixture.
Repeat the procedure (iii) and (iv) above and record the crystallization
temperature. Complete the table I below by adding the volumes of
distilled water as indicated
(Preserve the contents of the boiling for procedure II)
