mous 1 2) The foul odour of dirty socks may be attributed to caproic acid, an organic acid made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. The results of combustion of a 0.450g sample of caproic acid indicate that it contains 0.279g of C, 0.0467g of H and 0.124g of 0. ii) b) Distinguish between ‘empirical formula’ and ‘molecular formuta’ using suitable examples. [3 marks} Calculate the empirical formula and the molecular formula of caproic acid, given that its molar mass is 116g mol-1. i6 marks} In the standardisation of sulphuric acid with anhydrous sodium carbonate, a 1.49g sample of sodium carbonate is dissolved in distilled water to make 250 cm3 of solution. Three 25.0em3 portions of this solution are pipetted and titrated against ¢ solution of sulphuric acid of ‘unknown concentration using screened methyl orange as the indicator. The average volume of sulphuric acid used for the titration is found to be 24.64 cm3. i) iti) Give THREE precautions that should be taken to ensure that the sodium carbonate, used as standard in the above titration, is of accurate concentration. (3 marks} Calculate the number of moles of sodium carbonate used for each titration, ifthe concentration of the stock solution is 5.65x10-2 mol dm-3. [a mark) Calculate the accurate concentration of the standardised sulphuric acid in mol dm-3. [2 marks] Total 15 marksSECTION A Answer ALL questions in this section. MODULE 1 1. Inorder to estimate the acid content of white wine, a student measures 25 cm} of the wine out ofa freshly opened bottle. He titrates it against 0.01 mol dm”? sodium hydroxide and finds that the wine requires 15 crm of the alkali for complete neutralisation, Assuming that all the acidity in the wine is due to tartaric acid, HOOC-CH(OH).CH(OH)COOH, answer the following questions. (a) Write a balanced equation for the reaction using the formula H,X to represent the tartaric acid. | 2marks} (b) Calculate EACH of the following: (The number of moles of sodium hydroxide used [ Lmark } Gi) ‘The number of moles of tartaric acid in the 25 em? of wine [ 1mark] Gili) The molar concentration of the acid ( Lmark] GO ON TO THE NEXT PAGE, 02112020/CAPE/F 2004© (a) eae (iv) The mass of acid in 1 din?
