Question 118 marks

Question

You are going to investigate the temperature change when anhydrous lithium chloride dissolves in water. Read all of the instructions carefully before starting the experiments. Instructions You are going to do six experiments. (a) Experiment 1 ● Use a measuring cylinder to pour 30 cm3 of distilled water into a 100 cm3 beaker. ● Use a thermometer to measure the initial temperature of the water. Record the initial temperature in the table. ● Add the 1.0 g sample of anhydrous lithium chloride to the water in the beaker. At the same time start a timer. ● Continually stir the mixture in the beaker using the thermometer. ● Measure the temperature reached by the mixture after 30 seconds. Record the temperature of the mixture in the table. ● Calculate and record the temperature change in the table. ● Empty and rinse the beaker with distilled water. Experiment 2 ● Repeat Experiment 1 using the 1.5 g sample of anhydrous lithium chloride instead of the 1.0 g sample of anhydrous lithium chloride. Experiment 3 ● Repeat Experiment 1 using the 2.0 g sample of anhydrous lithium chloride instead of the 1.0 g sample of anhydrous lithium chloride. Experiment 4 ● Repeat Experiment 1 using the 2.5 g sample of anhydrous lithium chloride instead of the 1.0 g sample of anhydrous lithium chloride. Experiment 5 ● Repeat Experiment 1 using the 3.0 g sample of anhydrous lithium chloride instead of the 1.0 g sample of anhydrous lithium chloride. Experiment 6 ● Repeat Experiment 1 using the 4.0 g sample of anhydrous lithium chloride instead of the 1.0 g sample of anhydrous lithium chloride. Complete the table. mass of anhydrous initial temperature after temperature experiment lithium chloride / g temperature / °C 30 seconds / °C change / °C 1 1.0 2 1.5 3 2.0 4 2.5 5 3.0 6 4.0 [5] (b) Complete a suitable scale on the y-axis and plot your results from Experiments 1 to 6 on the grid. Draw a straight line of best fit through your points. The straight line must pass through (0,0). temperature change / C 0 0 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0 3.5 4.0 mass of anhydrous lithium chloride / g [5] (c) From your graph, deduce the temperature change when 3.2 g of anhydrous lithium chloride is dissolved in 30 cm3 of distilled water. Show clearly on the grid how you worked out your answer. temperature change = …… °C [2] (d) Estimate the temperature change if Experiment 6 is repeated using 60 cm3 of water instead of 30 cm3 of water. Give a reason for your answer. . …… . …… [2] (e) Suggest two changes that could be made to the apparatus to improve the accuracy of the results. For each change explain why it improves the accuracy of the results. change 1 . …… explanation 1 …… . …… change 2 . …… explanation 2 …… . …… [4] [Total: 18]

Fizzy drinks contain carbon dioxide gas dissolved in a liquid. The carbon dioxide gas can be removed from the fizzy drink by heating. Plan an investigation to find the volume of carbon dioxide gas in 1 dm3 of a fizzy drink.
