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 |
Student B pipetted 30.00 of the potassium hydroxide solution into a 150 glass beaker and added the nitric acid from a burette in portions of 4.00 , recording the steady temperature after each addition.
| Volume of added ± 0.05 / | Temperature ± 1 / °C |

(i) From a green chemistry standpoint, suggest, with a justification, whether Student A's or Student B's procedure is the better one.
(ii) State which student's volume measurements are the more precise, and give a reason.
(iii) Deduce whether this gap in precision has a meaningful effect on the uncertainty of the concentration read off where the two best-fit lines cross.
(iv) Comment on the pattern linking the volume of nitric acid added and the temperature recorded, in each of the two procedures.
(v) Looking at both sets of results, deduce which one temperature reading was most reduced by heat loss to the surroundings, and give a reason.
Student: ... Volume reading: ...
Reason: ...
(vi) Suggest how the apparatus might be altered to limit this loss of heat.
(i) Student B AND uses «much» smaller amounts of the two solutions / produces less waste ✔
(ii) Student B AND a burette and a pipette are more precise than a measuring cylinder / have a smaller uncertainty «±0.05 instead of ±0.5 » ✔
(iii) no AND the uncertainty in the position of the intersection «arising from the ±1 °C temperature readings and the drawing of the lines» is much greater than the uncertainty in the volumes ✔
(iv) the temperatures are similar for small volumes of acid «both rise by about 12 °C up to 20 » ✔
for large volumes of acid Student A's temperatures fall back to the starting value whereas Student B's fall only slightly, so Student A's temperatures are lower ✔
(v) Student: B AND Volume reading: 40.00 «» ✔
Reason: the solution has been warm «and losing heat to the surroundings» for the longest time «because the heat from every addition accumulates in the same beaker» ✔
(vi) replace the glass beaker with a polystyrene cup ✔
OR
insulate the beaker / add a lid ✔
(i) [1] for Student B with a reason based on smaller amounts of reagents or less waste. (ii) [1] for Student B with a comparison of the apparatus or of the stated uncertainties. (iii) [1] for 'no' with the reason; 'no' alone does not score. (iv) M1: similar behaviour at low volumes (accept a general description such as 'both rise to a maximum'); M2: Student A's temperatures lower at high volumes. (v) M1: Student B and 40.00 cm3, both needed; M2: longest time for heat loss. (vi) [1]; a water bath, 'a closed system' or 'a calorimeter' without any mention of insulation do not score.
Student B's beaker keeps the heat released by every addition, so the last reading has had the longest time to cool; each of Student A's mixtures is measured straight after mixing.
