1. You are provided with the following DA1 which is a 0.2M ZOH solution.
DA2 which was prepared by dissolving 3.45g of an acid salt ZHSO4.H2O in 250
cm3 of solution. (1 mole of DA1 reacts with 1 mole of DA2)

Procedure;
- Pipette 25.0/20.0 cm3 of DA2 into a clean conical flask; then add 2-3 drops of
methyl orange indicator.
- Titrate DA2 with DA1 from the burette.
- Repeat the titration until you obtain consistent results. Record your results
in the table below.

anion. Carry out the following tests to identify the cations and the anion
present in Q identify any gas(es) that may be evolved. Record your
observation and deduction in the table below.
(25marks)

Teste Observation Deduction

(a) Dissolve one spatula endful

of Q in about 6cm3 of
water. Add excess sodium
hydroxide solution, shake
well and keep both the
filtrate and the residue.

(b) To the filtrate, add dilute

nitric acid until the solution
is just acidic. Divide the
resultant solution into five
portions

(i) To the first portion of

the acidified solution,
add dilute sodium
hydroxide solution
dropwise until in excess

(ii) To the second portion

of the acidified
solution, add aqueous
ammonia dropwise
until in excess.

 (iii) To the third portion
of the acidified
solution, add
potassium iodide
solution.

(iv) To the fourth portion

of the acidified
solution, add lead (ii)
nitrate solution and
warm.

(v) Use the fifth portion

of the acidified
solution to carry out a
test of your own
choice to confirm the
anion in Q.

stand for about 5
minutes. Divide the
solution into two
