e) An atomic absorption method for the determination of copper content in fuels yielded

a pooled standard deviation of spooled == 032 jlg CulmL (s ~ 0) The analysis ofthe

oil from a reciprocating aircraft engine showed a copper content of 853 Jg CulmL

i) Calculate the 99 confidence limits for the result based on a mean of four (4)

analyses (3)

ii) How many replicate measurements are necessary to decrease the 99

confidence for the analysis to plusmn 020 Jg CulmL (3)

QUESTION 4

a) The amount of iron (Fe) in drinking water was determined using the standard addition

method The concentration of the Fe standard was 111 ppm The dilutions and signals

for the different dilutions are given in the table below Calculate the amount of Fe in

the water sample in ppb

c) Explain two disadvantages of using the standard addition method (3)

d) Internal calibration is another method ofcalibration which is used in determination of

the concentrations of unknown In detail explain the principle of internal standard

explain the advantage of using this type of method over the external calibration and

standard addition (7)

e) Give the three (3) properties which an internal standard should meet (3)

QUESTIONS

a) The CO in a 203 L sample of gas was converted to C02 by passing the gas over

iodine pentoxide heated to ISO degrees Celsius

(S)

ii) The method used in a(i) is known as back titration explain what is meant by back

titration (2)

iii) Give four (4) purposes of back titration ie cases which would require the use of

back titration instead ofdirect titration (4)

b) In titrimetry

i) Differentiate between primary standard and a secondary standard for

titrimetric analysis (2)

ii) Give four (4) desirable properties for a primary standard used for titration

purposes (4)

c) Titration Curves describe how pH changes during various acid-base titrations Draw

the titration curve for the titration of2S mL HCI of 0100 M with O1OOM HCl (S)

5

d) Using sketch diagrams explain what would be the difference ofa titration curve

obtained when 10 mL 01 M acetic acid is titrated with 01 M sodium hydroxide from

that of 01 M hydrochloric acid titrated with 01 M sodium hydroxide (Do not

Calculate) (3)

impurities Describe the (2) ways which can be used in the formation ofa

homogeneous precipitate Give an example for each (4)

b) Explain how the particle size of a precipitate can be controlled WIth reference to If

relative supersaturation (3)

c) i) What is meant by digestion ofa precipitate Briefly describe what happens in the

process of digesting a precipitate and give Q(2) advantages of this step during

gravimetric analysis (3)

ii) What is peptization Howcan this phenomenon be avoided during gravimetric

analysis (2)

d) One of the gravimetric titration methods used in analytical chemistry is the Volhard

titration

i) Describe the Volhard titration method What is this type of titration used for

(3)

ii) Give the two main challenges encountered when using this method of

titration (2)

iii) How can these problems listed in b(ii) be solved (2)

e) A 02356g sample containing only NaCI and BaCl2 Yielded 04637 g of dried Ag CI

c) Explain two disadvantages of using the standard addition method (3)

d) Internal calibration is another method ofcalibration which is used in determination of

the concentrations of unknown In detail explain the principle of internal standard

explain the advantage of using this type of method over the external calibration and

standard addition (7)

e) Give the three (3) properties which an internal standard should meet (3)

QUESTIONS

a) The CO in a 203 L sample of gas was converted to C02 by passing the gas over

iodine pentoxide heated to ISO degrees Celsius

hOs (s) + SCO (g) -4 SC02 (g) + h (g)

The iodine was distilled at this temperature and was collected in an absorber containing 82S

mL ofO01101 M Na2S203

h (g) + 2S20l- (aq) -4 2r (aq) + S40 (aq)

The excess Na2S203 was back titrated with 216 mL of 000947 M h solution

i) Calculate the concentration in milligrams of CO (2801 gmol) per litre of sample

(S)

ii) The method used in a(i) is known as back titration explain what is meant by back

titration (2)

iii) Give four (4) purposes of back titration ie cases which would require the use of

back titration instead ofdirect titration (4)

b) In titrimetry

i) Differentiate between primary standard and a secondary standard for

titrimetric analysis (2)

ii) Give four (4) desirable properties for a primary standard used for titration

purposes (4)

c) Titration Curves describe how pH changes during various acid-base titrations Draw

the titration curve for the titration of2S mL HCI of 0100 M with O1OOM HCl (S)

5

d) Using sketch diagrams explain what would be the difference ofa titration curve

obtained when 10 mL 01 M acetic acid is titrated with 01 M sodium hydroxide from

that of 01 M hydrochloric acid titrated with 01 M sodium hydroxide (Do not

Calculate) (3)

QUESTION 6

a) One of the properties of a homogeneous precipitate in gravimetry is that it has fewer

impurities Describe the (2) ways which can be used in the formation ofa

homogeneous precipitate Give an example for each (4)

b) Explain how the particle size of a precipitate can be controlled WIth reference to If

relative supersaturation (3)

c) i) What is meant by digestion ofa precipitate Briefly describe what happens in the

process of digesting a precipitate and give Q(2) advantages of this step during

gravimetric analysis (3)

ii) What is peptization Howcan this phenomenon be avoided during gravimetric

analysis (2)

d) One of the gravimetric titration methods used in analytical chemistry is the Volhard

titration

i) Describe the Volhard titration method What is this type of titration used for

(3)

ii) Give the two main challenges encountered when using this method of

titration (2)

iii) How can these problems listed in b(ii) be solved (2)

e) A 02356g sample containing only NaCI and BaCl2 Yielded 04637 g of dried Ag CI

on adding AgN03 to the sample Calculate the percent of each halogen compound in

the sample (6)
