FOR EXAMINERS’ USE ONLY

Question 1 Question 2 Question 3 TOTAL
Question one

You are provided with the following:

GA1, which is potassium manganate (VII) solution of unknown concentration.

GA2, which is a 0.05M solution of diammonium iron (II) sulphate .
Solid, X, which is an ethanedioate (oxalate) with the formula
𝐶𝑂2 𝑌
|
𝐶𝑂2 𝑌
You are required to standardize GA1 and use it to determine the atomic mass of Y.
In acid medium, manganate (VII) ion oxidizes iron (II) to iron (III) and ethanedioate
(𝐶2 𝑂42− ) ions to carbon dioxide.
The manganate (VII) ions are reduced to manganese (II) ions and water.
Procedure A:
Weigh accurately about 1.0g of X and dissolve it in about 100cm3 of water in a 250cm3
volumetric flask. Make the solution to the mark by adding distilled water. Label this
solution GA3.
Results:
Mass of weighing container + X = ……………………………………
Mass of weighing container = ………………………………………….
Mass of X used = ……………………………………………………….
Procedure B:
Pipette 25.0cm3 (or 20.0) cm3 of GA2 into a conical flask and add equal volume of 2M
sulphuric acid. Titrate the mixture with GA1.
Repeat the titration until you obtain consistent results.
Record your results in Table 1
Results:
Volume of pipette used. ……………………………………………………… cm3

Procedure C:

Pipette 25.0 cm3 (or 20.0)cm3 of GA3 into a conical flask and add an equal volume of 2M
sulphuric acid. Warm the mixture to about 600C and titrate the warm solution with GA1.

Repeat the titration until you obtain consistent results.

Record your results in Table II.

Question two

You are provided with substance W which contains two cations and two anions. You rare
required to carryout the following tests on W and to identify the anions and cations in W.
record your observations and deductions in the table below.

TESTS OBSERVATIONS DEDUCTIONS

(a) Heat spatula endfuls of
W strongly in a dry test
tube.

(b) To two spatula endfuls of

W in a dry test tube, add
5 drops of concentrated
sulphuric acid and warm.

(c) Dissolve three spatula

endfuls of W in about
5cm3 of water to make a
solution.
(i) Use 1 cm3 of the solution
of W to carry out a test of
your own choice to
confirm one of the anions
in W.
(ii) To the remaining solution
of W add dilute sodium
hydroxide solution drop-
wise until there is no
further change.
Filter and keep both the
filtrate and the residue.
(d) Add dilute hydrochloride
acid drop wise to the
filtrate until the solution
is just acidic. Divide the
solution into four
portions.
(i) To the first portion of the
acidified filtrate, add
dilute sodium hydroxide
solution drop-wise until
in excess.
(ii) To the second portion of
the acidified filtrate, add
potassium iodide
solution.
(iii) To the third portion of the
acidified filtrate, add 5
drops of litmus solution
followed by dilute
ammonia solution drop-
wise until in excess.
(iv) To the fourth portion of
the acidified filtrate, add
5 drops of barium nitrate
solution.

(e) Wash the residue with

water and dissolve in
dilute hydrochloric acid.
Divide the acidic solution
into three portions.

(i) To the first portion of the

acidic solution, add
sodium hydroxide
solution drop-wise until
in excess.

(ii) To the second portion of

the acidic solution, add
dilute ammonia solution
drop-wise until in excess.

(iii) Use the third portion of

the acidic solution to
carry out a test of your
own to confirm one of the
cations in W.
The cations in W are …………………………………………………………..

The anions in W are ……………………………………………………………

 Question three

You are provided with an organic substance T. You are required to identify the nature of
substance T. carry out the following tests on T and record your observations and
deductions in the table below.

TESTS OBSERVATIONS DEDUCTIONS

dish or at the end of a
spatula.
(b) Shake 3cm3 of T with
about 5cm3 of water
test with litmus.

(c) Divide the solution in

(b) into four parts.
(i) To the first part of the
solution, add 2-3
