-Place 2cm3 of sample solution in clean test tubev
-Add sodium hydroxide solution v
-Shake mixture v
-Add a piece of aluminium foil to miturev
-Heatv
-Dip litmus papers on distilled waterv
-Place them on the mouth of test tube heating(testing gas produce) v
-Make observations v
Observations:
#Effervescence/fizzling,bubble
#Colourless pungent gas
#Blue litmus paper remain blue
#Red litmus turns blue
Inference:
Nitrate ions present
Explanation:
When nitrate sample solution is added to sodium hydroxide and aluminum foil, ammonia gas is produce as bubbles and confirmatory of NO3

The following are steps carried by a student during a chemistry practical to determine the concentration of an acid using a known concentration of a base. Study the steps and answer the questions that follows(note:Steps are not consecutively)
(a) Rinse conical, pipette and burette using distilled water
(b)Assemble apparatus required set them
(c) Pour HCL to a burette
(d) Put a funnel on top of a burette
(e) Open burette tap to adjust volume of acid to a mark
(f) Add three drops of phenolphthalein indicator into conical flask.
(g) Titrate burette contents(acid) against conical contents(base) until the pink colour just disappear
(h) Suck 1M sodium hydroxide using pippete
and transfer to conical flask.
(I) Record the volume of acid used and repeat the procedure.
Questions
(I)Using alphabets (a-i) give the correct order of steps
(II) Why is it necessary to add an indicator to contents in conical flask and not the ones in burette?
(III) How can one determine end point?
(Iv) Write balance equation between acid and base
