1.  You are provided with:

  • 0.0238 Moles (equivalent to 3g) of solid G
  • Solution H, 0.04M acidified potassium manganate (VII)  

You are required to:

II. The number of moles of water of crystallization in solid G  

 

Procedure I:-

Using a measuring cylinder place 50cm3 of distilled water into a 100cm3 of beaker.

Stir the water gently with a thermometer and take its temperature after every half-minute.

Record the reading in table I below. At exactly two minutes, add all solid G to the water

at once. Stir well and take the temperature of the mixture after every half minute up to

the fourth minute. Record your results in table I. Keep the solutions for procedure II below:

(ii) Calculate :

The molar enthalpy of solution (H solution)

(Assume density of solution = 1g/cm3 and show the sign of H solution specific heat

Procedure II

Transfer the contents of the beaker into a 250ml volumetric flask. Rinse both the beaker

and the thermometer with distilled water and add to the volumetric flask. Add more distilled

water to eh mark.

Label this solution G

Fill the burette with solution H

Using a pipette and pipette filter, place 25.0cm3 of solution G into a conical flask. Warm the

mixture to about 60oC. Titrate the hot solution G with solution H until a permanent pink colour

persists (while shaking). Record your readings in table 2. Repeat the titration two more times

and complete table 2
