2. Seminar part 1) SPM 2009 9 (a) Diagram 9 shows the apparatus and observations for a redox reaction between iron(III) chloride solution and a metal. At the beginning of the experiment After 30 minutes Diagram 9
3. Based on the observations shown in Diagram 9, suggest a suitable metal to be used in this experiment. Zinc/ magnesium
4. Based on the observations shown in Diagram 9, Predict the ion present in the green solution iron (II) ion

9. (b) i odide ions are good reducing agent. You are given the following apparatus: U-tube, galvanometer, connecting wires, stopper, dropper, carbon electrodes and retort stand with clamps. Suggest a suitable chemical and describe an experiment to verify the above statement using the given apparatus.
10. Chemicals 1. Oxidising agent such as Acidified KMnO 4 // Acidified K 2 Cr 2 O 7 // Bromine water// chlorine water // iron (III) chloride solution 2. Sulphuric acid as electrolyte 3. Potassium iodide solution
11. Procedure 1. Pour sulphuric acid into U tube untill it reach about 5 cm from the mouth of the U-tube 2. Add potassium iodide solution in one arm of the U tube
12. 3. Add acidified KMnO 4 / or any oxidising agent into the other arm 4.The solutions are added slowly so that they do not mix 5. Dip the graphite electrodes into the two separate solutions and connect it to the galvanometer
13. After 10 minutes, The colour of KMnO 4 changes from purple to colourless MnO 4 - ion is reduced to Mn 2+ ion

15. Part 1)SPM 2008 9 (a) A metal M reacts with oxygen to form an oxide. The oxide is very soluble in water to produce an alkaline solution. Suggest the identity of metal M and describe an observation when the metal you have named reacts with oxygen, write the half-equations for oxidation and reduction for the reaction. [4 marks]
