1(a) Standard solution is a solution in which its concentration is accurately known.

(b)        -molar mass of NaOH = 23+16+1 = 40 g mol-1
              - mol NaOH              = 500 × 1.0 /1000 = 0.5 mol
              - Mass of NaOH        = 0.5 mol × 40 g mol-1= 20.0 g

Preparation of 500 cm3  1.0 mol dm-3 sodium hydroxide
-          20.0 g                          weighing bottle
-          20.0 g                          distilled water
-          Volumetric flask
-          Rinse           distilled water   volumetric flask
-          Distilled water         volumetric flask                                calibration mark
-          Volumetric flask     stopper                                inverted


Calculate the volume of 1 mol dm-3 sodium hydroxide used:
-          M2  × V2      = 0.1 × 250 = 25 cm3
M1                   1


Preparation of 250 cm3 1.0 mol dm-3 sodium hydroxide
-          25 cm3
-          25 cm3         volumetric flask
-          Distilled water         volumetric flask                                calibration mark
-          Volumetric flask     stopper                                inverted


1(a) (i) weak acid       : An acid that partially ionizes in water to produce low concentration of hydrogen  ion, H+.

Strong acid                  : An acid that completely ionizes in water to produce high concentration of hydrogen ion, H+.

(ii)

3.       80 g dm-3
4.       0.5 mol dm-3
5.       2 mol dm-3
6.       10 g
7.       0.4 mol dm-3
8.       50 cm3
9.       a)
 Number of mol of sulphuric acid
 = 50 × 1
      1000
 = 0.05 mol

H2SO4 → 2H+ + SO42-

From the equation,
1 mol of H2SO4: 2 mol of H+
0.05 mol of H2SO4 : 0.1 mol of H+

Number of mol of hydrocloric acid
 = 50 × 1
      1000
 = 0.05 mol

HCl → H+ + Cl-

From the equation,
1 mol of HCl: 1 mol of H+
0.05 mol of HCl : 0.05 mol of H+
The number of H+  in 50 cm3 of 1 mol dm-3 of sulphuric acid is twice of the number of in 50 cm3 of 1 mol dm-3 of hydrochloric acid.

Sulphuric acid is diprotic acid whereas hydrochloric acid is monoprotic acid.
1 mol of sulphuric acid ionises to 2 mol of H+  whereas 2 mol of hydrochloric acid ionizes to 1 mol of H+ . The number of H+  in the same volume and same concentration is doubled in sulphuric acid compared to hydrochloric acid.


b) 100 cm3

EXAMPLE OF PEKA


Aim                           :To investigate the effect of concentration of ions on selective discharge of ions at the electrodes

Problem statement   :How does the concentration of ions in hydrochloric acid, HCl affect the discharge of ions at the anode?



Hypothesis               :When the concentration of chloride ion is higher, then the chloride ion will be selectively discharged at anode.
                                    
Variables                  :Manipulated variable  :  Concentration of chloride ion
                                   Responding variable   :    Ion discharged
                                   Constant variable        :    Type of electrolyte, type of electrode, duration of electrolysis
                                  

Materials                   1.0 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid, 0.001 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid

Apparatus                batteries, carbon electrodes, connecting wires with crocodile clips, ammeter, electrolytic cell, test tubes, litmus paper and splinter


Procedure                 1. A electrolytic cell is filled with 1.0 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid until it is half full.
                                   2. The switch is turned on.
                                   3. Gas produced at anode is collected and tested with moist litmus paper and glowing splinter.
                                   4. Observations are recorded.
                                   5. Steps 1 to 4 are repeated by using 0.001 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid to replace 1.0 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid.


 Observation


Electrolyte
Observation at anode
1.0  mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid

A greenish-yellow gas with pungent smell is released.
The gas turns the blue litmus paper to red then to white.
0.001 dm-3 hydrochloric acid

Gas bubbles are released.
A colourless gas relight a glowing splinter.


                  
                                  
                                   

Discussion                  :
1.      the aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid consists of hydrogen ions, H+, chloride ions, Cl- and hydroxide ions, OH- tat move freely.
2.      During the electrolysis, the Cl- ions and OH- ions move to the anode.
a)      Electrolysis of 0.001 dm-3 hydrochloric acid
The OH- ions are selectively discharged at anode to form oxygen and water. This is because OH-ion is lower than Cl- ion in the electrochemical series.
4OH-     →  O2  +  2H2O  +  4e

b)      Electrolysis of 1.0 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid
The Cl- ions are selectively discharged at anode to form chlorine gas. This is because the concentration of Cl- ions are higher than OH- ions.
2Cl-    → Cl2  +  2e






Conclusion     : During electrolysis of 1.0 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid, the Cl- ions are selectively discharged at anode instead of OH-.to form chlorine gas due tohigher concetration of Cl-.The hypothesis is accepted.
