Candidates should check the question paper to ascertain that all pages are printed as indicated and that no question is missing
1. You are provided with
- Hydrochloric acid, Solution A.
- 0.30M Sodium hydroxide, Solution B
- Magnesium powder, Solid C.
You are required to determine:
- The concentration of hydrochloric acid in moles per litre.
- The molar enthalpy of hydrochloric acid with magnesium.
- The volume of hydrogen gas produced per unit time.
PROCEDURE I
Measure 50cm3 of solution A using a measuring cylinder and place it in 100 cm3 beaker, stir the solution gently with a thermometer and record its temperature after every thirty seconds, starting from Zero seconds. Record the readings in the table below. At exactly 120 seconds add all solid C at once, Stir the mixture gently with the thermometer and record the temperature of the mixture after every 30 seconds up to the 360th second and complete the table below.
Keep the solution for use in procedure (II)

Questions.
(a) On the grid provided, plot a graph of temperature against time (seconds) (3 mks)
(b) From the graph determine the temperature change for the reaction (1 mk)
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
(c) Calculate the heat change for the reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid given that C= 4.2 KJ/kg K-1, density of solution is 1.0g/cm3) (2 mks)
(d) Given that the mass of magnesium powder is 0.25g. Calculate
(i) The moles of hydrochloric acid, Solution A that reacted with magnesium.
(Mg = 24)
(ii) Heat evolved when one mole of hydrochloric acid, Solution A reacts with Magnesium powder, solid C. (1 mk)
(e) Calculate the volume of hydrogen gas produced per unit time at room temperature and pressure given that molar gas volume at r.t. p is 24,000cm3 (2 mks)
Procedure II
Place all the solution obtained in procedure I in a clean 100cm3 measuring cylinder. Add distilled water
to make 100cm3 of solution.
Transfer all the solution into a beaker and shake well. Label the resulting solution, Solution D.
Fill the burette with solution D. Pipette using a pipette filler 25.0 cm3 of solution B into a cornical flask. Add 2 – 3 drops of Phenolphthalein the titration two more times to complete the table II below.
