A

They should be washed out with deionised water

19
Q

What is the sixth step of the experiment, the equipment has been washed with deionised water?
(6)

A

Wash out the burette with some of the sodium thiosulfate solution

Fill burette above the zero mark with the solution

Remove the funnel from the burette

The bottom of the meniscus is adjusted to the level of the solution to the zero mark

Ensure that the tap and space below the tap are also filled

20
Q

What piece of equipment should be rinsed with the sodium thiosulfate solution?

A

The burette

21
Q

What should the burette be rinsed with?

A

Sodium thiosulfate solution

22
Q

List the four steps that should be followed when filling the burette.

A

Fill burette above the zero mark with the solution

Remove the funnel from the burette

The bottom of the meniscus is adjusted to the level of the solution to the zero mark

Ensure that the tap and space below the tap are also filled

23
Q

What is the seventh step in this experiment, the burette has just been filled?
(3)

A

Pour approximately 100 cm cubed of standardised KMnO4 solution into a clean, dry beaker

Wash out the pipette with a small amount of this solution

Using a pipette filler, pipette 25 cm cubed of the solution into the conical flask

24
Q

How much of the standardised KMnO4 should be poured into a beaker?

A

100 cm cubed

25
100 cubed of what should be poured into a clean, dry beaker?
100 cubed of standardised KMnO4
26
What should be washed out with standardised KMnO4?
A pipette
27
What should the pipette be washed out with?
Standardised KMnO4
28
How much of the standardised KMnO4 should be pipetted into a conical flask?
25 cm cubed
29
Where should 25 cm cubed of standardised KMnO4 be pipetted to?
Into a conical flask
30
What is the eight step of this experiment, the conical flask has been filled with 25 cm cubed a standardised KMnO4? (2)
Using a graduated cylinder and approximately 2o cm cubed of dilute sulfuric acid followed by 10 cm cubed of 0.5 M potassium iodide solution to the conical flask Note the reddish-brown colour of the liberated iodine
31
What colour is the solution in the conical flask before the potassium iodide solution is added?
Purple
32
Why is sulfuric acid added to the conical flask in excess?
The sulfuric acid is added in excess to the potassium permanganate solution in the conical flaks in order to supply sufficient H+ ions for complete reduction of the MnO4- ions to Mn2+ ions
33
What substances are added to the conical flask? | 2
Dilute sulfuric acid 0.5 M potassium iodide solution
34
How much dilute sulfuric acid is added to the conical flask?
20 cm cubed
35
How much 0.5M potassium iodide solution is added to the conical flask?
10 cm cubed
36
What colour is the solution after the 0.5 M potassium iodide solution?
The solution turns reddish-brown
37
What is the ninth step of the experiment, the solution in the conical flask is now reddish-brown? (2)
Titrate in the usual manner until the solution in the conical flask becomes pale yellow Now add a few drops of starch indicator until a blue/black colour is observed
38
When should the starch indicator be added?
When the solution in the conical flask becomes pale yellow
39
What colour does the solution become when the starch indicator is added?
Turns from pale yellow to blue/black
40
What is the tenth step of the experiment, the solution is not blue/black? (2)
Continue the titration, adding the thiosulfate solution drop by drop, until the blue/black colour disappears Note the titration figure
41
How do you know the end point has been reached?
The blue/black colour disappears
42
What is the eleventh step of the experiment, the solution is now colourless? (3)
Perform one rough and two accurate titrations The two accurate titration figures should agree to within 0.1cm cubed Using the results of this experiment, work out the concentration of the sodium thiosulfate solution
43
How many titrations should be carried out?
Perform one rough and two accurate titrations
44
The two accurate figures to agree to within what measurement?
0.1 cm cubed
