CSEC Chemistry · May/June 2014 · Paper 2 · Question 1(a)(i)

Experiment 1 investigates the heat of neutralization between potassium hydroxide and dilute hydrochloric acid. Various volumes of 0.1 M hydrochloric acid are added to 25 cm³ of aqueous potassium hydroxide in a plastic cup. The mixture is stirred, and the highest temperature reached after each addition is recorded. The results are presented in Table 1.

Use the data from Table 1 to plot a graph of temperature against volume of acid using the axes provided in Figure 1 on page 3. Two of the points have been plotted for you.

This question uses a figure or table from the paper — you'll see it when you practise.

The mark scheme is shown once you've answered.
