reaction rate between magnesium and dilute hydrochloric acid. The balanced equation

hydrochloric acid. In experiment 2 magnesium powder of the same mass as the
magnesium ribbon, reacts with the same volume of excess dilute hydrochloric acid.

The reaction between a sulphuric acid (H 2 SO 4 ) solution and a sodium hydroxide

7.1       Write down the name of the experimental procedure illustrated above.                    (1)

7.2       What is the function of the burette?                                                    (1)

7.3       Define an acid in terms of the Arrhenius theory.                                        (2)

7.4       Give a reason why sulphuric acid is regarded as a strong acid.                          (1)

7.5       Bromothymol blue is used as indicator. Write down the colour change that will
          take place in the Erlenmeyer flask on reaching the endpoint of the titration.

          Choose from the following:

          BLUE TO YELLOW                 YELLOW TO BLUE             GREEN TO YELLOW               (1)

During the titration a learner adds 25 cm3 of NaOH(aq) of concentration 0,1 mol·dm-3
to an Erlenmeyer flask and titrates this solution with H 2 SO 4 (aq) of concentration
0,1 mol·dm-3. The balanced equation for the reaction that takes place is:

                     2NaOH(aq) + H 2 SO 4 (aq) → Na 2 SO 4 (aq) + 2H 2 O(ℓ)

7.6       Determine the volume of H 2 SO 4 (aq) which must be added to neutralise the
          NaOH(aq) in the Erlenmeyer flask completely.                                            (4)

7.7       If the learner passes the endpoint by adding 5 cm3 of the same H 2 SO 4 (aq) in
          excess, calculate the pH of the solution in the flask.                                  (7)
                                                                                                  [17]

QUESTION 9 (Start on a new page.)

The diagram below shows an electrolytic cell used to electroplate an iron rod with
COPPER. Solution X is made up of an unknown NITRATE.

9.1       Solutions, such as solution X, are always used in electrochemical cells.

          9.1.1         Write down the general term used to describe these solutions.               (1)

          9.1.2         What is the function of these solutions in electrochemical cells?           (1)

9.2       Write down the FORMULA of solution X.                                                     (1)

9.3       Which electrode (A or IRON ROD) is the negative electrode? Give a reason
          for the answer.                                                                           (2)

9.4       Write down the half-reaction that takes place at electrode A.                             (2)

9.5       Electrode A is now replaced by a silver rod without making any other changes
          to the cell. After a while, TWO metallic ions are found to be present in the
          solution.

          9.5.1         Name the TWO metallic ions present in the solution.                         (2)

          9.5.2         Refer to the relative strengths of oxidising agents to explain which
                        ONE of the two ions will preferably be involved in the plating
                        process.                                                                    (2)
