POLITE NOTICE: KINDLY NOTE THAT THE KCSE 2021-2022 CHEMISTRY PAPER 3 LEAKAGE IN CIRCULATION IS FAKE. THE CABINET SECRETARY IN CHARGE OF EDUCATION CONFIRMED THAT THE UNIVERSITY STUDENT WHO WAS DISSEMINATING MISLEADING KCSE CHEMISTRY PAPER 3 EXAM PAPERS HAS BEEN DETAINED AND IS AWAITING TRIAL.

Chemistry paper 3 is compulsory for most KCSE Knec-registered candidates. The paper carries a maximum of 40 marks and it contains three major sections made up of three questions– All the three questions are compulsory. The candidate should attempt all the questions in Chemistry paper 3. Question one carries a maximum of 19 marks, question two 12 marks and question 3 09 marks.

This is a hands-on exam that requires the physical involvement of the candidate in practical exams.

The candidates are expected to set apparatus, follow the procedures given to do the practicals, make observations, record them and interpret the results and values arrived at.

KCSE Chemistry paper three generally tests the candidate’s ability to make correct observations and interpret-infer their meaning.

Chemistry Paper 3

1.

You are required to find the percentage purity of a sample of sodium carbonate, Chemistry Paper 3 Question Paper - KCSE CLUSTER TESTS 3

FA1 contains 4.50 g dm-3 of the impure sodium carbonate.

FA2 is 0.50 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid, HC1.
(a) Dilution of FA2

By using a burette, measure 34.00 cm3 of FA2 into the 250 cm3 graduated flask (volumetric flask) labeled FA3.

Make up the contents of the flask to the 250 cm3 mark with distilled water.

Place the stopper in the flask and mix the contents thoroughly by slowly inverting the flask a number of times.

You are provided with the following reagents.

√FB1 1 mol dm-3 sulphuric acid,Chemistry Paper 3 Question Paper - KCSE CLUSTER TESTS 3

√FB2, 0.1 mol dm-3 potassium iodide, KI

√FB3, 0.1 mol dm-3 sodium thiosulphate,Chemistry Paper 3 Question Paper - KCSE CLUSTER TESTS 3;

√FB4, 0.1 mol dm-3 hydrogen peroxide, Chemistry Paper 3 Question Paper - KCSE CLUSTER TESTS 3

√ Start solution √Distilled water. In the presence of an acid, iodide ions are oxidised by hydrogen peroxide to iodine.

Chemistry Paper 3 Question Paper - KCSE CLUSTER TESTS 3

The rate of reaction can be followed by timing the formation of a fixed amount of iodine in the solution. If sodium thiosulphate is present in the reaction mixture it reacts with the iodine formed and the solution remains colourless.

Chemistry Paper 3 Question Paper - KCSE CLUSTER TESTS 3

When all of the sodium thiosulphate present has reacted, iodine, I2, will appear in the solution producing an immediate blue colour with starch indicator. In a series of experiments where the concentration of a reagent is changed

can be used as a measure of rate, √the volume of the reagent used can be taken as a measure of its concentration providing the total volume of the mixture is kept constant in each experiment. The order of reaction with respect to hydrogen peroxide can be obtained by plotting a graph of log rate against log (Chemistry Paper 3 Question Paper - KCSE CLUSTER TESTS 3 )

You are required to investigate the effect of concentration on the rate of reaction,

√20 cm3 of distilled water

Add to the flask from the burette 1.00 cm3 of FB3, sodium thiosulphate.

Add six drops of starch indicator to the mixture in the flask.

Run 20.00 cm3 of FB4, hydrogen peroxide, from the second burette into a 100 cm3 beaker.

Use the measuring cylinder labeled B to add 20 cm3 of FB1, sulphuric acid, to the hydrogen peroxide in the beaker.

Transfer (tip) the contents of the beaker into the conical flask and immediately start a stop-clock or note the start time on a clock with a second hand. Swirl the flask to mix the reagents.

Observe the solution and stop the clock or note the time when the solution suddenly turns blue.

Record the time taken to the nearest second in the table that follows.
Empty, thoroughly rinse and drain the conical flask used in experiment 1.

Repeat the entire procedure for each of the experiments 2 through to 4, each time emptying rinsing and draining the conical flask;

e) The experimental method can be modified to enable the rate of reaction with respect to iodide ions,Chemistry Paper 3 Question Paper - KCSE CLUSTER TESTS 3 , to be investigated. You will perform two further experiments using the method for procedure 1.

You will keep the concentration of hydrogen peroxide constant and reduce the concentration of iodide ions.

f). Procedure II

First copy your reaction time from experiment 1 in section (a) into the table below. Then complete the table below to show the volumes of FB2 and distilled water you will use in these two further experiments.

Carry out each experiment as before and record the time taken in each case.
