Q

Explain how the law of conservation of mass is related to the balancing of chemical equations.

A

The number of atoms in reactants and in products must be equal, with mass conserved-> no atoms (mass) created or destroyed in the reaction.

Zn(𝑠) + 2HCl(π‘Žπ‘ž) ⟢ ZnCl2 (aq) + H2 (𝑔)

a) What measurement(s) must be made so that the mass of hydrogen produced can be determined? (1 mark)

A

The decrease in mass of the flask and its contents as a
result of the reaction.
OR Measure mass of flask and its contents at beginning
and at end of reaction.

Q

Refer to the balanced equation, reproduced below, when answering this question:
Zn(𝑠) + 2HCl(π‘Žπ‘ž) ⟢ ZnCl2 (aq) + H2 (𝑔)

Why is there no change in the amount of hydrogen produced when adding more than 0.12
mol of zinc?

A

From the equation n(Zn) = Β½ n(HCl) there is a
maximum of 0.24 mol of HCl(aq) present, so there is a
maximum of 0.12 mol of Zn that can react. If more Zn
is added, there is no more acid to react
Alternate if 0.14 mol of Zn is added, it needs 0.28
mol of acid, which is not available.

Q

3.49 g of XHCO3 was initially dissolved in water and made up to 250.0 mL of solution; 25.0 mL samples of the hydrogen carbonate solution were used in each titration.
c) Show that the molar mass of XHCO3 is approximately 84 g mol–1.

info: 4.16 x 10^-3 mol of XHCO3 was reacted in each titration.

A

n(XHCO3) in 25 mL = 4.16 x 10^-3 mol
n(XHCO3) in 250 mL = 4.16 x 10^-3 mol x 10
= 4.16 x 10-2 mol
n = m/M
β‡’ M =m/n
M(XHCO3) = 3.49/0.0416

Q

The equations listed below produce gaseous water.
Equation 1: H2O(𝑙) β†’ H2O(𝑔)
Equation 2: 2H2(𝑔) + O2(𝑔) β†’ 2H2O(𝑔)
Why is the change summarised in equation 2 classified as a chemical change, whereas the
change summarised in equation 1 is not? (2 marks)

A

Eqn 2: new chemical compound is formed in the products, therefore called a chemical change
EQN 1- no new chemicals formed, only a change of state (liquid to gas), therefore called a physical change.

Q

One form of barium hydroxide is the anhydrous form, Ba(OH)2. Mr(Ba(OH)2) = 171.32
(c) Calculate the total number of ions present in this amount of dissolved barium hydroxide

A

Ba(OH)2 (aq)-> Ba^2++ 2OH^-
0.387 mol—–> 0.387 mol + 0.774 mol
therefore total n(ions)= 0.387+0.774= 1.161 mol
actual number of ions= 1.161 x 6.02 x 10^23 in total
= 6.99 x 10^23

mol of zinc?

A

From the equation n(Zn) = Β½ n(HCl) there is a
maximum of 0.24 mol of HCl(aq) present, so there is a
maximum of 0.12 mol of Zn that can react. If more Zn
is added, there is no more acid to react

The solution is becoming less acidic as acidic H2 ions are released as gas/ closer to neutral
(pH 7) as the acid is reacting.

2.00 L of dilute acid. The concentration of the diluted acid was found to be 0.103 mol L–1
.
a) Determine the volume of the more concentrated acid used for the preparation.

A

n(conc H2SO4) needed = 0.206
c =n/V
β‡’ V = n/c

Q

450 mL of hydrochloric acid solution of concentration 6.25 mol L-1 was spilt on the floor of a
laboratory. Powdered limestone powder, which contains calcium carbonate, CaCO3 was sprinkled
on the acid to neutralise it.

CaCO3(𝑠) + 2HCl(π‘Žπ‘ž) β†’ CaCl2(π‘Žπ‘ž) + H2O(𝑙)+CO2(𝑔)
(Mr(CaCO3) = 100.1)
Info: around 3 mol of HCL was spilt
The limestone powder contains 92.5% calcium carbonate. Other chemicals in the powder do not
react with the acid.
(b) Calculate the mass of limestone powder needed to neutralise the acid spilt.

A

n(CaCO3)= 2.81 * 1/2 = 1.41 mol
mass of pure CaCo3= n * M

= 141 g
if 92.5% pure, mass of limestone= 141 * 100/92.5

A

A= CaCO3 (s) which is insoluble in water but reacts with dilute acid to release CO2, ie CaCO3(s) + 2HCL(aq)-> CaCl2(aq) + CO2(g) + H20(l)

ie Al2O3(s) + 6HCl(aq)-> 2AlCl3(aq) + 3H2O(l)
C= NaOH(s) dissolves readily in water forming an alkaline (basic solution due to OH^-(aq) therefore pH=14
NaCl not one of the solids listed because it would dissolve in water to form a neutral solution (pH=7)

  1. Acid rain is caused by gaseous pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and sulphur dioxide being released into the atmosphere. These gases react with water vapour to form very dilute solutions that may contain sulphur- and nitrogen-based acids.

  1. A 7.532 g of hydrated magnesium chloride, MgCl2Β·xH2O, was heated until its mass no longer changed. The (now anhydrous) solid was then weighed and found to be 3.527 g. Determine the degree of hydration of MgCl2Β·xH2O. (3 marks)
A

n(MgCol2)= m(MgCl2)/ M(MgCl2)= 3.527/ (24.31 + 2*35.5)= 0.037 mol
n(H2O)= m(H2O)/ M(H2O)= 7.532-3.527/ 2.016+16= 0.223 mol
0.037:0.223
1:6 ratio
therefore MgCl2.6H2O ie 6
