2 Mia investigates what happens when different colourless solutions are mixed with
a colourless dilute acid.

In her first experiment she:

• measures the temperature of the acid in a glass beaker

• adds a small volume of a colourless solution
• measures the temperature of the mixture in the glass beaker
• records any other observations.

Mia repeats the experiment five more times with different colourless solutions.

Look at the results of her investigation.

6 Carlos investigates the time it takes salt to dissolve in water.

In his first experiment Carlos:

• pours 100 cm3 of water into a glass beaker

• measures the temperature of the water
• adds 5 g of salt to the water
• stirs the mixture
• records the time taken for the salt to dissolve.

Carlos repeats the experiment using different temperatures of water.

Look at the results of his investigation.

2 Safia mixes solids with water and observes what happens.

solid observations when solid and water are mixed

A mixture bubbles and gets warm

B mixture does not change colour and stays the same temperature

C the solid dissolves and the mixture gets colder

D mixture remains green

E mixture turns colourless and gets warmer

(a) Which solids have a chemical reaction with water?

[2]

(b) Magnesium is added to dilute hydrochloric acid.

This makes bubbles of hydrogen and a colourless solution of magnesium chloride.

Write down the name of one of the products of this reaction.
