C. Experiments based onpH

a) Any one of the following experiments:

● Determination of pH of some solutions obtained from fruit juices, solution of known and

varied concentrations of acids, bases and salts using pH paper or universal indicator.

● Comparing the pH of solutions of strong and weak acids of same concentration.

● Study the pH change in the titration of a strong base using universal indicator.

b) Study the pH change by common-ion in case of weak acids and weak bases.

D. Chemical Equilibrium

One of the following experiments:

a) Study the shift in equilibrium between ferric ions and thiocyanate ions by increasing/decreasing

the concentration of either of theions.

b) Study the shift in equilibrium between [Co(H2O)6]2+ and chloride ions by changing the

concentration of either of theions
