1 Silver chloride is an ionic compound and is insoluble in water. Molten silver chloride breaks down
during electrolysis. The products are chlorine and silver.
Chlorine gas is soluble in water and toxic.
A student suggests using the apparatus shown to break down silver chloride.
power
supply
silver chloride
(a) Draw an arrow on the diagram to show where heat must be applied so that the silver chloride
can break down. [1]
(b) Complete the diagram to show how chlorine gas can be collected and the volume of the
chlorine measured. Label any apparatus you have drawn. [2]
(c) Give two observations that are made as the silver chloride breaks down.

2 A student investigated the reaction between aqueous potassium hydroxide and two different
aqueous solutions of hydrochloric acid labelled solution A and solution B.
(a)
Experiment 1
● A burette was filled with solution A. Some of solution A was run out of the burette so that
the level of solution A was on the burette scale.
● A measuring cylinder was used to measure 25 cm3 of the aqueous potassium hydroxide.
● The aqueous potassium hydroxide was poured into a conical flask.
● Five drops of methyl orange indicator were added to the conical flask.
● Solution A was added slowly from the burette to the conical flask, while the flask was
swirled, until the solution just changed colour.

Experiment 1
Experiment 2
● The conical flask was emptied and rinsed with distilled water.
● The burette was emptied and rinsed with distilled water.
● The burette was rinsed with solution B.
● The burette was filled with solution B. Some of solution B was run out of the burette so that
the level of solution B was on the burette scale.
● A measuring cylinder was used to measure 25 cm3 of the aqueous potassium hydroxide.
● The aqueous potassium hydroxide was poured into the conical flask.
● Five drops of methyl orange indicator were added to the conical flask.
● Solution B was added slowly from the burette to the conical flask, while the flask was
swirled, until the solution just changed colour.

Experiment 2
(b) State the colour change observed in the conical flask at the end-point in Experiment 2.
(c) Before starting the titration in Experiment 2 the conical flask was rinsed with water.
(i) Explain why the conical flask was rinsed with water.

(ii) The conical flask was not then rinsed with aqueous potassium hydroxide.
State how rinsing the conical flask with aqueous potassium hydroxide would change the
volume of solution B needed. Explain your answer.

4 Old concrete contains calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid.
Plan an investigation to find which of two lumps of concrete contains the larger percentage of
calcium carbonate. Your plan should include how you will use your results to determine which one
of the two lumps has the larger percentage of calcium carbonate.
You have access to all common laboratory materials and a supply of dilute hydrochloric acid.
