Basic oxide

Amphoteric oxide

-Acidic oxide

I observed the gas bubbles are released at anode when I used

carbons as electrode during electrolysis of CuSO4 sir

When you repeat the experiment using copper electrodes

to replace the carbon .What is the observation at anode,
Ali?

Anode become
thinner, sir

Diagram 2.0
Rajah 2.0
Refering to the dialog in diagram 2.0, plan a laboratory experiment to investigate the
effect of type of electrode at anode. Your planning should include the following
aspects:
(a)
Aim of the experiment.
- To investigate the effect of type of electrode at anode.
(b)
All the variables.
MV: Type of electrode
RV: Products at anode
FV: Concentration of electrolyte
(c)
Statement of the hypothesis
-When C electrodes used in electrolysis of CuSO4, gas bubbles released at
anode and when used Cu electrode, anode become thinner.
(d)
List of materials and apparatus
-Copper electrode, Carbon electrode, battery, connecting wire, beaker, 50 cm3of 0.5
mol dm-3 copper(II) sulphate.

Procedure for the experiment

CuSO4 is poured into beaker.
2 carbon electrodes are immersed into solution and connected to battery
Record observation at anode
Step 1-4 is repeated using Cu electrode.

Type of block
Diameter of dent
Mass of weight

Bronze produced smaller diameter of dent than copper

28

-Copper is soft& weak

-Bronze is harder

-When 1kg weight is dropped on steel ball, diameter of dent produced on bronze is smaller.

-Duralumin
-Brass

-Tin

-Orange-red spot (rust) formed on iron spoon and no changes on steel spoon

(4) A student carried out the experiments to study the factors that affect the rate of reaction

between zinc and hydrochloric acid in the laboratory. The student measured the volume of
gas liberated using a burette at regular intervals of 30 seconds.
Diagram 1 shows the set up of the apparatus used in the experiment

Hydrochloric
acid
Zinc

Diagram 1
Table 1 shows the experimental conditions carried out by the student.
Experiment
Experimental condition

(a)

25 cm3 0.1 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid

+ 5 g granule zinc .

II

25 cm3 0.1 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid

+ 5g zinc powder

State a hypothesis for this experiments.

The smaller the size of zinc, the higher the rate of reaction between Zn and HCl.

(b) State all the variables in this experiment

MV:Size of zinc
RV:Rate of reaction
FV:Mass of Zn/Concentration of HCl
(c) State two observation that you could obtained from the experiments I
-Gas bubbles released/water level in burette decreases/Zn metal dissolves
(d) What is the inference can you make based on the result from both experiments?
-Smaller size of zinc increase total surface area exposed to collision with H+.
(e) Big size of ice cube (5 g) takes longer times to melt compare small size of ice cube(5g)
at room temperature. Explain why
-Small size ice cube has more total surface area exposed
-absorb more heat
-melt more faster.

-No rust

Rusting
happens
very fast

-No rust

When iron nail coiled with less electropositive metal, iron nail rust.
31

-Rusting
slowly

-Metals coiled with iron nail

-Rusting of iron
-Size of iron nail

When iron nail coiled with less electropositive metal is placed in potassium
hexacyanoferrate (III) and jelly solution, intensity of blue colour is high.

Metals provide sacrificial protection

-zinc, magnesium

Metal that cannot provide sacrificial protection

-copper

-Intensity of blue colour is higher than test tube B

(a) Problem statement

What is the effect of temperature on the rate of reaction between sodium thiosulphate
solution and hydrochloric acid?
(b) All the variables
MV: Temperature of sodium thiosulphate
RV: Rate of reaction/time taken for markX disappear.
FV: Concentration of sodium thiosulphate/HCl
(c) Hypothesis
-The higher the temperature of sodium thiosulphate, the shorter the time taken for
markX to disappear.

(d) List of materials and apparatus

- Filter paper, conical flask, thermometer, bunsen burner, tripod stand, wire
gauze,stopwatch, 25 cm3of 0.5 mol dm-3 Na2S2O3, 10 cm3 of 0.5 mol dm-3 HCl
(e) Procedure
-Put conical flask on filter paper mark X
-Na2S2O3 is poured into conical flask
-Record the temperature of Na2S2O3
-Pour HCl into Na2S2O3 and start stopwatch
- Stop the stopwatch once mark X disappear and record time taken
-Step 1-5 is repeated bu heating Na2S2O3 at 40C,50C and 60C
