Item 1
Otim, a farmer in northern Uganda, uses limewater to reduce soil acidity in his
vegetable garden. He has bought limewater from two different suppliers (A and B) but
is unsure which one is more effective.
A local agriculture officer explains that the limewater sample with higher alkalinity
(better at neutralising acid) will require a larger volume of dilute hydrochloric acid in
a titration test to reach neutralisation.
The agriculture club at your school has been asked to help Otim by pipetting fixed
volumes of each limewater sample separately and titrating them with dilute
hydrochloric acid solution using phenolphthalein indicator. They have approached
you for guidance.
You have been provided with the following:
BA1: Dilute hydrochloric acid solution (to simulate acid in soil)
BA2: Limewater from supplier A
BA3: Limewater from supplier B
Phenolphthalein indicator
Task: As a chemistry learner:
(a) Design an experiment you will carry out to help Otim. (Your design should
include; aim, variables, hypothesis, apparatus and materials, procedure, risks and
their mitigations)
