Solution
All your burette readings (initials and final) as well as the size of your pipette must be recorded but no account of experimental procedure is required. All calculations must be done in your answer booklet
A solution of 0.050 moldm\(^3\) H\(_2\)C\(_2\)O\(_4\) (ethanedioic acid). B is a solution of KMnO\(_4\), (potassium tetraoxomanganate (VII), of unknown concentration.
(a) Put B into the burette. Pipette 20.0 cm\(^3\) or 25.0 cm\(^3\) of A into a Conical flask and add about 10.0 cm\(^3\) of dilute H\(_2\)SO\(_4\), Heat the mixture to about 40^\circC - 50^\circC and titrate it while still hot with B. Repeat the titration to obtain consistent titre values. Tabulate your results and calculate the average volume of B used. The equation of reaction is;
2MnO\(_{4(aq)}^-\) + 5C\(_2\)O\(_{4(aq)}^{2-}\) + 16H\(^+_{(aq)}\) \(\to\) 2MnH\(^{2+}_{(aq)}\) + 8H\(_2\)O\(_{(l)}\) + 10CO\(_{2(g)}\)
(b) From your results and the information provided, calculate the:
(i) concentration of MnO\(_2^-\) in B in moldm\(^{-1}\)
(ii) concentration of KMnO\(_4^-\) in B in gdm\(^{-3}\)
(iii) volume of CO\(_2\) evolved at s.t.p when 25.0 cm\(^3\) of H\(_2\)C\(_2\)O\(_4\) reacted completely. [0 = 16.0, K= 39.0, Mn = 55.0, Molar volume of gas at s.t.p.= 22.4 dm\(^3\) mol\(^{-1}\)]
Credit will be given for strict adherence to the instructions. for observations precisely recorded and jor accurate inferences. All tests, observations and inferences must be clearly entered in your answer book in ink, at the time they are made

Titre value = \(\frac{24.50 + 24.60}{2}\) = 24.55cm\(^3\)
(b)(i) Molar concentration of KMNO\(_4\)
\(\frac{C(MnO_4^-) \times V(MnO_4^-)}{C(C_2O_4^{2-}) \times V(C_2O_4^{2-})} = \frac{n(MnO_4^-)}{n(C_2O_4^{2-})}\)
\(\frac{C(MnO_4^-) \times 24.55}{0.05 \times 25} = \frac{2}{5}\)
C(MnO\(_4^-\)) = \(\frac{0.05 \times 25 \times 2}{24.55 \times 5}\)
= 0.0204 mol/dm
(ii) Mass concentration of KmnO\(_4\)
Molar mass of KmnO\(_4\) = 39 + 55 + (16 x 4) = 158g/mol
Mass conc. KmnO\(_4\) = molar conc. x molar mass
= 0.0204 x 158 = 3.22g/dm\(^3\)
(iii) Volume of CO\(_2\) (gas evolved)
\(\frac{n(CO_2)}{n (H_2C_2O_4)}\) = \(\frac{10}{5}\)
n(CO\(_2\)) = \(\frac{10}{5}\) x 0.05
= 2 x 0.05 = 0.100 mol
V(CO\(_2\)) at s.t.p = n x Vm
25cm\(^3\) of H\(_2\)C\(_2\)O\(_4\) = 0.100 x 22.4dm\(^3\)mol\(^{-1}\) x \(\frac{25}{1000}\)
= 0.056dm\(^3\) or 56.0 cm\(^3\)
Alternative method
Volume of CO\(_2\) gas evolved
Amount of H\(_2\)C\(_2\)O\(_4\) used = 0.050 x \(\frac{25}{1000}\) = 0.00125 mol
From the equation of the reaction
5 mol of C\(_2\)O\(_4^{2-}\) = 10 mol of CO\(_2\)
0.00125 mol C\(_2\)O\(_4^{2-}\) = 0.00125 mol x \(\frac{10}{5}\)
= 0.0025 mol CO\(_2\)
@S.T.P
1 mol of CO\(_2\) = 22.4dm\(^3\)
0.00250 mol = 22.4 x 0.0025
= 0.056 dm\(_3\) or 56.0 cm\(^3\)

Gas Laws & Kinetic Theory
Solution
Which of the following statements about intermolecular distances and cohesive forces between gas is correct? They are
A
Both large
B
Both negligible
C
Constant and negligible
D
Large and negligible
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
In a gas, the distance between molecules, whether monatomic or polyatomic, is very large compared with the size of the molecules; thus gases have a low density and are highly compressible.
Cohesive Force is negligible in case of gases.

Solution
When sugar is dissolve in tea, the reaction is accomplished by?
A
positive change
B
negative entropy change
C
no entropy change
D
a minimum entropy change
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
The dissolution of sugar in tea is accompanied by positive change in entropy. When there is a change in the state of a substance from solid to liquid, there is an increase in entropy. In general, if a substance changes its structure from a condensed state to a less condensed state, then we say there is an increase in entropy.
