Structured Question​Ja062 ​(45mins)

A student is provided with two solutions, ​X​ and ​Y​. X is an aqueous sulphuric acid of concentration 4.9 g dm -3​​ . ​Y​ is aqueous sodium
hydroxide solution which was prepared by dissolving 5.0 g of IMPURE sodium hydroxide in 1 dm 3​ ​solution.

The following is an ​INCOMPLETE​ list of the apparatus and reagents used:

Apparatus: Conical flasks, retort stand, funnel, white tile, beakers, A and B.

Reagents: Sulphuric acid, solution of sodium hydroxide.

Procedure: (i) B​ was washed thoroughly with a liquid detergent, with tap and then with distilled water.
Finally, it was rinsed with the sulphuric acid solution. ​B​ was then filled to the mark
with sulphuric acid and the reading recorded.

(ii) 25.0 cm​3 ​of the sodium hydroxide solution was transferred to the conical flask using ​A
and two drops of indicator were added.

(iii) Sulphuric acid was added from B until the end-point was reached. The reading on B
was recorded.

(iv) ​ ​ differed by no more than +/-

The procedure was repeated until consecutive readings on B
0.1 cm​3​.
