One is an alkene, one is an alcohol and one is a carboxylic acid but the student does not know
which liquid is which.
Describe a series of tests to determine which liquid, W, X or Y, is the alkene, which is the alcohol
and which is the carboxylic acid.

4 A student determines the concentration of aqueous sodium hydroxide, NaOH(aq), by titration with
aqueous citric acid, C6H8O7(aq).
The student:
step 1 records the mass of an empty beaker and then adds solid citric acid
step 2 records the mass of the beaker and the citric acid
step 3 adds distilled water to the beaker and stirs the mixture until all the citric acid dissolves
step 4 transfers all of the aqueous citric acid from the beaker into a 250 cm3 volumetric flask
step 5 fills the volumetric flask up to the mark with distilled water and shakes the flask to make
solution P
step 6 uses a measuring cylinder to add 25.0 cm3 of P into a conical flask
step 8 fills a burette with aqueous sodium hydroxide and records the initial volume in the burette
step 9 adds the NaOH(aq) to the flask until the indicator changes colour and records the final
volume in the burette.
Identify the incorrect piece of apparatus and suggest a more accurate piece of apparatus.
(b) Explain why the contents of the volumetric flask are shaken in step 5.

(i) Use the best titration results to calculate the average volume of NaOH(aq) used.
(j) Use your answer to (f) to calculate the number of moles of citric acid in 25.0 cm3 of solution P.
(k) The equation for the reaction between citric acid, C6H8O7, and NaOH is shown.
Calculate the number of moles of NaOH that react with the citric acid in 25.0 cm3 of solution P.
A precipitate is formed.
(i) Use the equation and your answer from (l) to calculate the number of moles of Fe(OH)2(s)
that is made.
If you do not have a value for the concentration of NaOH(aq) assume it is 0.255 mol / dm3
(this is not the correct value).

5 A student:
• measures 25 cm3 of 1.0 mol / dm3 hydrochloric acid into a glass beaker
• measures the temperature of the hydrochloric acid
• adds 30 cm3, an excess, of aqueous potassium hydroxide
• records the maximum temperature the mixture reaches.

acid.
All volumes are kept constant. The aqueous potassium hydroxide is still in excess.
