1. Diagram 1 shows the apparatus set-up for an experiment to determine the heat of precipitation. 25
cm3 of 2.0 mol dm-3 lead (II) nitrate solution is added to 25 cm 3 of 2.0 mol dm-3 sodium sulphate
solution in plastic cups wrapped with hand towels.

(a) What is meant by heat precipitation from this reaction? [1 mark]

Total heat energy released when one mole of lead (II) sulphate is precipitated from its aqueous
solutions.

(b) What is the colour of the precipitate formed? [1 mark]

White

(c) Table 1 shows the results of the experiment. (HOTS analysing)

Description Temperature (℃ )
Initial temperature of lead (II) nitrate solution 29.0
Initial temperature sodium sulphate solution 30.0
Highest temperature of the mixture 41.5

(i) Mark (√ ) in the box provided to show which process has higher heat in the reaction. [1

Heat absorbed to break bond in the

reactants
Heat released during the formation of 
bonds in the products

(ii) Calculate the heat energy change in the reaction.

(d) The experiment is repeated by using 25.0 cm 3 of 1.0 mol dm-3 lead (II) nitrate solution and 25.0
cm3 of 1.0 mol dm-3 sodium sulphate solution.
Predict the temperature change in the reaction. Explain your answer. [2 marks]
Temperature change= 12/2= 6℃ . The concentration of solution used is halved, so the
temperature changed is also halved.

(e) In another experiment, calcium nitrate solution is reacted with sodium carbonate solution. The
temperature of mixture decreases. Draw an energy level diagram for the reaction. [2 marks]
