A student investigated the reaction between sodium thiosulfate and potassium iodate.
Two experiments were carried out.
Experiment 1
A burette was filled up to the 0.0 cm3 mark with sodium thiosulfate solution. By using a measuring cylinder, 20 cm3 of solution A of potassium iodate was placed into a conical flask. Dilute sulfuric acid and potassium iodide were also added to the flask. The flask was shaken to mix the contents and produce a red solution of iodine.
The sodium thiosulfate solution was added to the flask. When the contents of the flask were yellow, 1 cm3 of starch solution was added to the flask. Addition of sodium thiosulfate to the flask was continued until the solution turned colourless.
Use the burette diagram to record the final volume in the table and complete the column in the table of results.
Experiment 2
Experiment 1 was repeated using a different solution of potassium iodate, solution B.
Use the burette diagrams to record the volumes and complete the table.

A student reacted dry ammonia gas with hot copper(II) oxide.
The apparatus used is shown below.
The equation for the reaction is
2NH3 + 3CuO → 3Cu + N2 + 3H2O
Indicate with an arrow where the heat is applied.
The colour of the copper(II) oxide would change from ............................... to ...............................
Draw a labelled diagram to show how liquid water could be obtained from the water vapour produced.

A student investigated the redox reaction between potassium iodate(V) and iodide ions. Two experiments were carried out. Experiment 1 A burette was filled up to the 0.0 cm3 mark with the solution A of sodium thiosulfate. By using a measuring cylinder, a 10 cm3 sample of the solution B of potassium iodate(V) was added into a conical flask. A 10 cm3 sample of dilute sulfuric acid was added to the flask followed by 20 cm3 of aqueous potassium iodide. Solution A was added slowly to the flask until there was a pale yellow colour in the contents of the flask. Starch solution was then added into the flask and the colour changed to blue black. Solution A was added to the flask until the colour just disappeared.
Experiment 2 Experiment 1 was repeated using solution C of potassium iodate(V) instead of solution B.
Use the burette diagrams for experiment 1 and 2 to record the volumes in the table and complete the table.
Burette readings / cm3 Experiment 1 Experiment 2 Final reading Initial reading 0.0 Difference
The reaction of the mixture of potassium iodate(V), sulfuric acid and potassium iodide in the flask produces iodine. Sodium thiosulfate then reacts with the iodine.
