1 Solution P, which contains hydrogen peroxide, was prepared by adding dilute sulphuric For
acid to 8.50 g of barium peroxide, filtering off the insoluble barium sulphate and diluting the Examiner’s
resulting solution to 1.00 dm3. Use
You are to determine the concentration of hydrogen peroxide in P and use this to determine
the relative formula mass of barium peroxide.
Pipette a 25.0 cm3 (or 20.0 cm3) portion of P into a flask and add about a test-tubeful of
dilute sulphuric acid followed by about a test-tubeful of aqueous potassium iodide. The
solution should turn red-brown. Do not add the starch indicator at this stage.
Add Q from the burette until the red-brown colour fades to pale yellow, then add a
few drops of the starch indicator. This will give a dark blue solution. Continue adding Q
slowly from the burette until one drop of Q causes the blue colour to disappear, leaving
a colourless solution. Record your results in the table, repeating the titration as many
times as you consider necessary to achieve consistent results.

Using these results, the average volume of Q required was .................. cm3.
(c) P was prepared by adding dilute sulphuric acid to 8.50 g of barium peroxide and diluting
the resulting solution to 1.00 dm3.
Using your answer to (b), calculate the relative formula mass of barium peroxide.
