You will be provided with a solid sample labelled D. Carry out the following tests and complete Table 2.
TABLE 2: RESULTS OF TESTS ON SAMPLE D
| Test | Observation | Inference |
|---|---|---|
| (i) Dissolve D into of distilled water. Divide the resulting solution into two equal portions. | ||
| (ii) To the first portion of solution from (i) above, add aqueous barium chloride followed by an excess of dilute hydrochloric acid. | ||
| (iii) To the second portion of solution from (i) above, add aqueous sodium hydroxide, a little at a time until in excess. | (Ionic equation required) |

Figure 1 shows 7 test tubes with the results obtained when different volumes of Solution X, of lead(II) nitrate, are reacted with of Solution Y, of potassium iodide solution.
A key is provided to help you interpret the results.
Figure 1.
Use the results from Figure 1 to complete Table 3.
TABLE 3: RESULTS OF PRECIPITATION REACTIONS
[4 marks]
Using the data recorded in Table 3, plot a graph on the axes provided in Figure 2, of the height of the precipitate versus the volume of Solution X added. You are required to determine an appropriate scale for the y-axis.

It is recommended that vitamin C (ascorbic acid) tablets be dissolved in cold water rather than warm water. It is suspected that the reason for this is that the effect of vitamin C is reduced on heating.
Plan and design a suitable experiment to investigate the effect of heat on vitamin C.
Hypothesis: The concentration of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) decreases with increasing temperature.
