Two uncooked hens egg of similar size were submerged in acid to dissolve the shell. The contents of the eggs are left intact, enclosed by the egg membrane.

One de-shelled egg has been placed in distilled water for two days. The other egg has been placed in salt solution for 2 days.

Figure 1.1 shows the egg after two days.

Figure 1.1

(a) (i) Complete Table 1.1 to compare the two eggs.

(b) A student carried out a similar experiment and varied the concentration of salt in different solutions. Table 1.2 shows the percentage change in mass of the eggs after 2 days. Concentration of salt solution / g dm-3 0.0 10.0 20.0 30.0 40.0 50.0

% change in mass + 7.3 + 3.2 + 0.8 - 2.5 - 6.4 - 10.8

Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is found in fresh fruits and vegetables. The amount in a known quantity of fruit juice can be determined by decolourising a blue dye, DCPIP.

(a) Students were provided with 0.1% ascorbic acid solution (0.1 g ascorbic acid in 100 cm3 water) and 0.1% freshly prepared DCPIP solution. 1 cm3 DCPIP was placed in a clean test-tube. The ascorbic acid was added, using a graduated pipette, until the blue colour disappeared.

The test was carried out five times and the results are shown in Table 2.1.

Volume of Test ascorbic acid (cm3) 1 2 3 4 5 average 1.5 1.0 1.1 0.9 1.0

Table 2.1

Complete Table 2.1 by calculating the average (mean) value of the data. [1]

(b) The test was repeated on a range of different fruit juices using 1 cm3 of DCPIP each time.

Figure 2.1 shows the results of these tests. Each graduated pipette originally contained 1 cm3 of a different fruit juice.

Figure 2.1

In Table 2.2, (i) (ii) record the volumes of fruit juice used; calculate and record the amount of ascorbic acid in each fruit juice using the formula n/p = concentration of ascorbic acid in a fruit juice in g per cm3 where, n = volume of ascorbic acid from (b)(ii); p = volume of fruit juice needed to decolourise DCPIP
