    I had someone else send this to me before my chemistry mock, its only fair to share the wealth, as long as im not too late, its DEB btw

    Section A
    Answer at least two questions from this section [see page 1 for full instructions].
    1. A mass of 8.82 g of ammonium iron(II) sulfate crystals ((NHOiSC^.FESC^.JcI^O) was dissolved in
    deionised water to which some sulphuric acid had been added. The solution was then made up accurately to 250 cm3. A pipette was used to transfer 25 cm3 of this solution to a conical flask to which some dilute sulfuric acid had been added. A burette was filled with a 0.02 M solution of potassium manganate(VII) and a number of titrations were carried out. The mean titration result was 22.5 cm3.
    The titration reaction is described by the equation:
    MnO7 + 5Fe2+ + 8H+ - *• Mn2+ + 5Fe2+ + 4H2O
    (a) Why was sulfuric acid added in making up the ammonium iron(II) sulfate solution? (5)
    (b) Describe the correct procedure for diluting the ammonium iron(II) sulfate solution and making up the
    250 cm3 solution from the crystals. (12)
    (c) What colour change is observed as the solution from the burette is titrated into the conical flask? How is
    the end-point of the titration detected? (9)
    (d) During the titration, drops of the potassium manganate(VII) solution were noticed high on the sides of
    the conical flask. What action could be taken to deal with this problem? Why is it possible to take this
    action without affecting the overall result of the titration? (6)
    (e) What is the purpose of the sulfuric acid in the conical flask? What would be observed if insufficient
    acid was present during the titration? (6)
    (/) Calculate the concentration of the ammonium iron(II) sulphate in the solution in
    (i) grams per litre,
    (ii) moles per litre.
    Hence, find the percentage water of crystallisation present in the ammonium iron(II) sulfate crystals and
    the value of x, the degree of hydration of the crystals. (12)



    2. To prepare a sample of soap, about 5 g of lard (source of a long-chained ester), 4 g of potassium hydroxide (excess) and 50 cm3 ethanol were placed in a large boiling flask fitted with a condenser. The mixture was refluxed for about 30 minutes. The apparatus was then rearranged for distillation. After the distillate was removed the remaining mixture was quickly transferred into a beaker containing 100 cm3 of brine. The solution was then filtered to remove the soap.
    (a) What term is used to describe the reaction that takes place between the long-chained ester and the
    potassium hydroxide? (3)
    (b) What is the function of the ethanol in the reaction? (3)
    (c) What other substance is added to the reaction flask prior to refluxing? (3)
    (d) Draw a labelled diagram of the apparatus used to reflux the mixture for 30 minutes. Explain why this
    type of apparatus was used. (14)
    (e) One of the products of the reaction is an alcohol. Name this product and give its structural formula.
    (9)
    (/) What is brine? What is the purpose of pouring the mixture into the brine? (9)
    (g) Explain what happens when a sample of this soap is added to hard water. (9)
    3. In an experiment to determine the heat of reaction of 0.5 M hydrochloric acid and 0.5 M sodium hydroxide, 200 cm3 of the acid and the same volume of base were measured into two separate containers. The initial temperature of both was taken and found to be 14.5 °C. The acid was added to the base and the solution was stirred. The highest temperature recorded was found to be 17.9 °C.
    (a) Define the term heat of reaction. (8)
    (b) What material could be used for the containers that the acid and base are measured into? Explain your
    answer. (9)
    (c) What precautions should be taken to ensure an accurate measure of the rise in temperature? (6)
    (d) The density and specific heat capacity of the resulting solution (assumed equal to that of water) are
    1.0 g cm"3 and 4,200 J kg'1 °C~' respectively. Calculate the heat of reaction. (12)
    (e) Draw an energy profile diagram for an exothermic reaction. Mark clearly on the diagram
    (i) the activation energy,
    (ii) the heat change for the reaction. (9)
    (/} If the base used had been ammonia, the heat of reaction would have been less. Explain why this would
    be the case. (6)
