Acid–base titrations — practice question

When dilute sulfuric acid receives aqueous sodium hydroxide, the reaction takes place. $2\text{NaOH(aq)} + \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4\text{(aq)} \rightarrow \text{Na}_2\text{SO}_4\text{(aq)} + 2\text{H}_2\text{O(l)}$
(a)[1]

State why the student chooses a burette rather than a measuring cylinder.

(b)[1]

State the evidence in the table that shows that the reaction is exothermic.

(c)[3]

Plot the table values on the grid and extend both straight lines until they cross.

(d(i))[1]

Find the volume of X that gives a temperature rise of $5.6\,^{\circ}\text{C}$ when it is added to $20.0\,\text{cm}^3$ of W.

(d(ii))[1]

Find the temperature increase when $12.5\,\text{cm}^3$ of X is added to $20.0\,\text{cm}^3$ of W.

(e(i))[1]

Use your graph to find the smallest volume of X that reacts completely with all of the NaOH in $20.0\,\text{cm}^3$ of W.

(e(ii))[3]

Use your answer to (e)(i) together with the equation to find the concentration of $\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4$ in X.
