2 Examiner Candidates are advised that answers to all questions should be brief and concise; lengthy extended responses are not required. 1. A student measured the rate of the reaction of 1-bromobutane with sodium hydroxide. The equation for the reaction is C 4 H 9 Br + NaOH C 4 H 9 OH + NaBr The experiment was carried out by measuring the decrease in concentration of the NaOH as outlined below. 1. Equal volumes of 1-bromobutane and sodium hydroxide of the same concentration were placed in separate flasks in a water bath at 25 C and allowed to reach the bath temperature. 2. The two solutions were rapidly mixed as a stopwatch was started. 3. After exactly five minutes, a 10 cm 3 sample of the mixture was removed by pipette, rapidly transferred to a flask containing 50 cm 3 of iced water and the remaining unreacted NaOH titrated with standard HCl from a burette to an endpoint using phenolphthalein indicator. 4. Step 3 was repeated at several further five minute intervals and the results obtained are tabulated below. Time / minutes 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 Volume HCl / cm 3 20 0 17 0 14 0 11 5 9 5 8 0 7 0 (a) (i) Plot the results above on the graph grid provided opposite and draw the curve.

(i) Suggest why the pipetted samples were added rapidly to excess iced water. [1] (ii) Explain why the rate decreases as the reaction proceeds. [1] (iii) Suggest one method of measuring the rate of a reaction which does not require samples to be taken at timed intervals. [1] Turn over.

(ii) Then calculate ΔH, using the equation ΔH = 4 18mΔT n Jmol 1, where m is the mass of water in grams and n is the number of moles of ammonium nitrate. [2] (b) State two common sources of error in this experimental procedure to determine enthalpy changes (ΔH) in solution. [2]................................ Total [6] Turn over.
6 Examiner 3. A student determined the concentration of a solution of sulphuric acid by titrating it against a standard solution made by dissolving 10 6 g of sodium carbonate (M r = 106) in distilled water to give 1 dm 3 of solution. A burette was rinsed twice with small volumes of acid and filled to above the zero mark using a small funnel. The funnel was removed and the acid level brought exactly to the 0 00 cm 3 mark. 25 00 cm 3 of the sodium carbonate solution was placed in a conical flask with a suitable indicator and the acid added while swirling the flask contents. When the indicator gave signs of change, the titration was halted, the flask walls washed with water and the titration continued, drop by drop, to the end-point. Three titrations gave readings of 20 75, 20 00 and 20 20 cm 3, respectively. (a) Answer the following questions on the procedure used. (i) State why the burette was rinsed with the acid before filling. [1] (ii) State why the funnel was removed. [1] (iii) State and explain whether there was any need for the acid level to be set exactly on zero. [1] (iv) State why the flask contents were swirled during the titration. [1]
7 Examiner (b) (i) State, giving a reason, whether you would include the reading of 20 75 cm 3 in calculating the mean titration. [1] (ii) The equation for the acid/carbonate reaction is given below. H 2 SO 4 + Na 2 CO 3 Na 2 SO 4 + CO 2 + H 2 O Use the data and results above to calculate the concentration of the acid solution. [3] Turn over for question 4 Turn over.
