  It covers the following topics:

  • Quantitative Volumetric Analysis & Thermochemistry:
    • Standardization and titration of diluted sulphuric (VI) acid using sodium carbonate solution with methyl orange indicator
    • Calculation of average titre volumes, molarity, and concentration in moles per litre
    • Thermochemical enthalpy determination: measuring temperature changes upon reacting varying volumes of sulphuric (VI) acid with reagent C
    • Temperature change graphical plotting, determination of maximum temperature rise, stoichiometric reacting volumes, and molar enthalpy of reaction calculations
  • Inorganic Qualitative Analysis:
    • Systematic analysis of solid K: thermal decomposition and gas testing using litmus papers
    • Solubility testing and precipitation reactions using aqueous sodium hydroxide, hydrogen peroxide, dilute nitric (V) acid, and barium nitrate solution
  • Organic Qualitative Analysis:
    • Testing of solid F: ignition and flame testing for unsaturation and sootiness
    • Solubility in water, redox testing with acidified potassium manganate (VII), and effervescence testing for carboxylic acid groups using sodium hydrogen carbonate
