Experiment III Experiment IV
(b )
(i) 1. The mass of sodium hydroxide.
2. the volume of water in the cup. 3. The size of the polystyrene cup.
(ii) The reaction between sodium hydroxide and water is an exothermic reaction.
(c) (i) Temperature change = 4 oC
Reason 1 :
Heat energy is absorbed by the reactants from the surroundings. Reason 2 :
The energy of the products is more than the energy of the reactants.
(ii) The decrease in temperature shows that endothermic reaction happens where heat
energy is absorbed from the surroundings. (d ) 1. 37 oC 2. 32 oC 3. 30 oC (e )
(i) 1. Final temperature is lower than the initial temperature.
2. The temperature reading decreases. 3. Bubbles of gas are released.
(ii) Heat energy is absorbed when hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium hydrogen
carbonate to produce sodium chloride, carbon dioxide and water. (iii)
7. SPM 2008/P2/Q6 (a
)
Heat change when 1 mole of hydrogen ions reacts with 1 mole of hydroxide ions to form
1 mole of water. (b
)
Observation : the mixture becomes hot or temperature increase Volume of carbon
dioxide gas,/cm3
Explanation : the reaction is exothermic
(c) (i) No. of moles of NaOH = 100 x 2 = 0.2 mol
1000 Energy released = 0.2 x 57.3 = 11.46 kJ
(ii) Temperature change = 11.46 x 1000
200 x 4.2 = 13.6 oC

1.
Ethanoic acid is a weak acid which partially ionize in water, nitric acid is strong acid that ionize completely in water. 2. energy is used to ionize/dissociate weak acid.CHAPTER 5 : CHEMICAL FOR CONSUMERS 1 SPM 2004/P2/Q2
a) i) Sodium hydroxide/potassium hydroxide
ii) To reduce the solubility of soap in water or to precipitate the soap formed.
b) Procedure of the experiment :
1.
Two beakers are filled with hard water2.
Soap is added to one beaker and detergent is added to another beaker3.
The socks are dipped into each of the beakers and wash by scrubbing oragitated
Observation :
Detergent in hard water Soap in hard water
1. Socks is clean easily 1. Socks still dirty
2. No formation of scum 2. Scum forms
3. The water turns dirty 3. Water is less dirty
Conclusion :
Detergent cleans stains more effectively compared to soap in hard water. Detergent can still performed its cleansing action and more effective than soap in hard water.

a) Saponification
b) i) Ester
ii) COO
-c) Concentrated potassium hydroxide solution
d) i) Hydrophobic part or hydrocarbon part
ii) - Detergent ions reduce the surface tension of water - Hydrophilic dissolves in water
- Hydrophobic dissolves in grease
- Mechanical agitation or scrubbing helps pull the grease free
