Two students were asked to determine the concentration of a solution of potassium hydroxide,
Student A measured out the two solutions with a 50 measuring cylinder, combining them in a 150 glass beaker to give eleven mixtures, each with a total volume of 40.0 , and the highest temperature of every mixture was recorded.
| Volume of ± 0.5 / | Volume of ± 0.5 / | Highest temperature ± 1 / °C |
|---|---|---|
| 0.0 | 40.0 | 20 |
| 4.0 | 36.0 | 23 |
| 8.0 | 32.0 | 27 |
| 12.0 | 28.0 | 30 |
| 16.0 | 24.0 | 32 |
| 20.0 | 20.0 | 32 |
| 24.0 | 16.0 | 30 |
| 28.0 | 12.0 | 27 |
| 32.0 | 8.0 | 25 |
| 36.0 | 4.0 | 22 |
| 40.0 | 0.0 | 20 |
(i) Suggest one hazard to health or safety in Student A's procedure.
(ii) Student A plotted the highest temperature of each mixture against the volume of nitric acid.

With a ruler, draw two straight lines of best fit: one following the rising set of points and the other following the falling set, then extend both until they meet.
(iii) In the mixtures where nitric acid is the limiting reactant, the enthalpy change of neutralization, , in , can be found from the temperature rise, , and the volume, , in , of nitric acid in the mixture:
Based on the precision of the thermometer, determine the percentage uncertainty in the largest temperature rise that Student A recorded.
(iv) State two conditions that must be true for the expression in part (iii) to give a valid enthalpy change of neutralization.
(i) nitric acid / potassium hydroxide solution is corrosive «and can burn the skin or damage the eyes» ✔
OR
the glass beaker / thermometer may break «and cut the skin» ✔
(ii) two straight lines drawn with a ruler: the rising line through «or close to» the points from 0.0 to 12.0 and the falling line through the points from 20.0 to 40.0 , both extended until they cross «at about 17 and 34 °C» ✔
(iii) uncertainty in = «±»2 «°C» ✔
percentage uncertainty = « =» 17 «%» ✔
(iv) Any two of:
the specific heat capacity of the mixture is equal to that of water / 4.18 «» ✔
the density of the mixture is 1.00 «» / 40.0 of mixture has a mass of 40.0 g ✔
no heat is lost to the surroundings / the heat capacity of the beaker and thermometer is negligible ✔
the reaction goes to completion / all the nitric acid reacts ✔
(i) [1] for any specific hazard: corrosive acid or alkali (accept 'burns' or 'irritates the skin or eyes'), broken glass, hot liquid. (ii) [1] for both lines passing close to their data points, not through the point at 16.0 cm3, and extended to the intersection; accept a rising line that takes the 16.0 cm3 point into account but passes above it; lines that are not straight or are obviously drawn without a ruler score zero. On screen, accept a description of the intersection, or its coordinates (about 17 cm3 and 34 °C), in place of drawn lines. (iii) M1: ±2 °C (two readings, each ±1 °C); M2: 17 % (accept 16.7 %, and 14 to 17 % if the temperature rise is read from the intersection of the lines). Award [2] for a correct final answer. (iv) [1] for each assumption, [2 max].
The uncertainty in a temperature difference is the sum of the uncertainties of the two readings, so ±1 °C on each reading gives ±2 °C on ΔT; the percentage is taken of the rise, not of the final temperature.
