Question 45

An experiment is performed to find the volume of nitric acid (HNO3\text{HNO}_3HNO3​) required to neutralise a solution of potassium hydroxide (KOH\text{KOH}KOH).

a.

What name is given to this analytical method?

[1]
b.

Which piece of apparatus should be used to measure exactly 25.0 cm325.0\text{ cm}^325.0 cm3 of the potassium hydroxide solution into the reaction flask?

  • A. beaker
  • B. measuring cylinder
  • C. pipette
  • D. syringe
[1]
c.

State the colours that are seen if methyl orange is used as the indicator in this neutralisation reaction:

  • Colour before adding the acid:
  • Colour after the potassium hydroxide is neutralised:
[2]
d.

A student carries out the experiment. Their initial and final burette readings are shown below:

Burette readings

Use the descriptions and diagram to complete the following readings to the nearest 0.05 cm30.05\text{ cm}^30.05 cm3:

  • Burette reading after adding the acid (cm3\text{cm}^3cm3)
  • Burette reading before adding the acid (cm3\text{cm}^3cm3)
  • Volume of acid added (cm3\text{cm}^3cm3)
[3]
e.

A second student repeated the titration four times, using a different concentration of potassium hydroxide. The table shows their results:

Run1234
Volume of acid added (cm3\text{cm}^3cm3)21.8521.3021.4021.35

Concordant results are those within 0.20 cm30.20\text{ cm}^30.20 cm3 of one another. (i) Identify which runs are concordant with one another.

[1]
f.

Use your chosen concordant results to calculate the average (mean) volume of acid added.
