PROCEDURE I
i) a) Fill the burette with distilled water. Using the burette, add 4.0cm3 of distilled water to
solid P. in a boiling tube. Heat the mixture in a water bath while stirring with a
thermometer to about 700C until all the solid dissolves.
b) Allow the solution to cool while stirring with the thermometer and note the temperature
at which crystals of solid P start to appear. Record this temperature in table 1.
c) Using the burette, add 2.0cm3 of distilled water to the contents of the boiling tube. Heat
the mixture while stirring with the thermometer until all the solid dissolves while in the
water bath.
d) Allow the mixture to cool while stirring and note the temperature at which crystals of
solid P start to appear.
e) Repeat the procedure (c) and (d) four more times, heating the solution in a water bath
and record the temperature in the table. Retain the contents of the boiling tube for use in
procedure II.

iv) Other than temperatures give two other factors which affect solubility. (2mks)
PROCEDURE II
1. Transfer the contents of the boiling tube into a 250ml volumetric flask. Rinse the boiling
tube and the thermometer with distilled water and add to the volumetric flask. Add more
distilled water to make up to the mark. Label this solution P.
Fill the burette with solution P. using a pipette and pipette filler place 25.0cm3 of solution
Q into a conical flask. Titrate solution Q with solution P. Using phenolphthaline indicator.

iii) Number of moles of solution P reacted with the sodium hydroxide given that the relative
formula mass of P, (HX)n 2H2O is 126. (3mks)
iv) The number of moles of sodium hydroxide required to react with one mole of P. Hence find the
value of n in the formula (HX) n 2H2O (3mks)
Place a spatula of solid M in a boiling tube, add 10 cm3 of distilled water and shake well until all
the solid dissolves.
