C-11 is a solution prepared by dissolving 13.4 gms of hydrated ammonium iron (II)
sulphate crystals, (NH4)2SO4.FeSO4.xH2O per litre.

ISC Specimen Question Paper 2013
PROCEDURE:
Rinse and fill the burette with the solution C-10 (KMnO4). Pipette out 20 ml or 25
ml of C-11 (hydrated ammonium iron(II) sulphate) into a clean conical flask. To
this, add 20ml of dilute sulphuric acid C-12, specially provided for titration.
Titrate the solution with C-10 (KMnO4) till one drop of this gives a light
permanent pink colour to the solution in the conical flask. Ensure that the pink
colour does not disappear on shaking the contents of the conical flask.
Repeat the experiment to get at least two concordant readings.
Tabulate your readings.

PROCEDURE:
Take the beakers labelled 1 to 5. Put 0.05 M sodium thiosulphate solution and distilled
water according to the following table:
Beaker Number
50
40
30
20

Now place the beaker labelled 1 on a white paper with a cross mark in black. View the
cross-mark through the solution. Now pipette out 10 ml of 0.05 M hydrochloric acid
C-14 into it and immediately start a stop-watch. View the solution from the top and
stop the stop-watch as soon as the cross on the paper becomes invisible. Note the time
in the stop-watch.
Repeat the experiment by adding 10 ml of 0.05 M hydrochloric acid C-14, to the
beakers labelled 2, 3, 4 and 5 and note the time taken in each case for the cross mark on
the paper to become invisible.
Tabulate your results.
Sodium thiosulphate reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce colloidal sulphur which
makes the cross-mark invisible.
The reaction is given by:
Na2S2O3 (aq) + 2HCl(aq) 2NaCl(aq) + SO2(g) + H2O(aq) + S (colloidal)
From your results:
(i)
Plot a graph between the concentration of sodium thiosulphate and the time taken
for the cross-mark on the paper to become just invisible.

Substances C-13 and C-14 are organic compounds. Carry out the following experiment
and note all the changes taking place at each step of the experiments.
Note the smell of the substance formed, colour of the substance obtained, colour of the
precipitate formed, and solubility in excess of the reagent and any other observations
you may have. State the identity of each compound on the basis of the experiments and
observational changes.
PROCEDURE:

Substance C-13:
1.
Take 3 4 drops of C-13 in a test tube, add about 0.5 grams of potassium
hydrogen sulphate and heat strongly.
2.
Take 0.2 grams of borax in a test tube and add 5 ml of water to it, and shake
well to get a clear solution. To this, add 2 drops of phenolphthalein
solution. Now add 2- 3 drops of C-13 to this, shake well, warm and cool.
