(b)

Construct a table that can be used to record the data from both experiments.

[3 marks] (c) State one hypothesis for both experiments. [3 marks] (d) Based on the temperature in Experiment I, predict the change in temperature in Experiment II. [3 marks] Why must the initial temperature and the highest temperature be recorded in these experiments? [3 mark] How can the value of the change in temperature be obtained? [3 marks] State three observations that you could obtain in Experiment I other than the change in temperature. 1. 2. 3. [3 marks] 2

(h)

State three constant variable in this experiment. 1. 2. [3 marks] Diagram 1.2 shows the calculation to determine the heat of neutralization for the reactions in Experiments I and II.

(i)

Based on Diagram 1.2: (i) Give the operational definition for the heat of neutralization. [3 marks] It was found that the value of y is greater than the value of x. Explain why? [3 marks] The experiment is repeated using methanoic acid. The value of the heat of neutralization of these acids are given in Table 1. Complete Table 1 by classifying the acids as strong acid or weak acid. Name of acid Ethanoic acid Hydrochloric acid Methanoic acid Heat of neutralization /kJ mol-1 - 50.3 - 57.2 - 50.5 3 Type of acid
