Section A

1. 0 marks

The experiment involves observing the disappearance of letter X when a mixture of solutions A1 and A2 is heated at different temperatures. The procedure is as follows: Measure specific volumes of A1 and A2, mix them in a flask, add a solution N, swirl the mixture, observe from above, and record the time taken for letter X to disappear completely. Repeat the procedure by varying the temperature as shown in the table.

Study the reaction between sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric acid at different temperatures. The chemicals provided are labelled as A$_1$ for 0.05 M sodium thiosulphate and A$_2$ for 1.0 M hydrochloric. Also, you are provided with a piece of white paper marked X on which a 100 cm$^3$ beaker containing the reaction mixture to be placed during the experiment. Measure 30cm$^3$ of A$_2$ and put it into the 100 cm$^3$ beaker place on top of the X marked on the piece of paper. Then, measure 30 cm$^3$ of A$_1$, put it into boiling tube, insert a thermometer into it and heat on water bath until it reaches a temperature of 40$^\circ$C. The next step, transfer the heated solution A$_1$ into the beaker containing solution A$_2$ and immediately starting the stop watch.
