24 (A410U10-1) 24 © WJEC CBAC Ltd. 11. A student carried out two acid-base titrations using two acids, HA and HB. A 25.0 cm3 sample of each acid was titrated against a sodium hydroxide solution of concentration 0.150 mol dm–3 giving the titration curves shown. The initial pH values are missing from both graphs. One acid is a strong acid and one is a weak acid. 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 Volume of sodium hydroxide added / cm3 HA pH 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 Volume of sodium hydroxide added / cm3 HB pH (A410U10-1) 25 25 © WJEC CBAC Ltd.

(c) Both these titrations can be performed using appropriate acid-base indicators, but similar experiments using a weak acid and a weak base cannot use acid-base indicators successfully. Explain this difference. [2] (d) The students made 250 cm3 of aqueous sodium hydroxide of concentration 0.150 mol dm–3 for these experiments.

(c) A student is provided with four solutions labelled W, X, Y and Z and is told that these contain common cations and anions that they have studied. He observes that one solution is pale blue and the others are colourless. Flame tests on the solutions give apple-green and golden yellow flames with two solutions and unfamiliar colours with the others. The student mixes pairs of solutions together and obtains the following results. He did not complete all the experiments. Solution 1 Solution 2 Observation(s) W X white precipitate that dissolves when excess solution W is added W Y mixture of pale blue precipitate and white precipitate in a colourless solution W Z no visible change X Y white precipitate in a pale blue solution X Z Y Z white precipitate in a brown solution (A410U10-1) 31 31 © WJEC CBAC Ltd.
