Using a measuring cylinder measure 10 cm3 of solution B into a clean 100cm3 glass beaker. Place it
together with its contents on a white piece of paper marked with a cross (X) on it with bold blue
print. Measure the temperature of the solution and record it as shown in the table below.
Using a clean measuring cylinder, measure 5cm3 of solution A. add it to the contents of the beaker
containing solution B and immediately start the stop watch. Record the time it will take for the cross
