C8 Flashcards
Explain how the law of conservation of mass is related to the balancing of chemical equations.
The number of atoms in reactants and in products must be equal, with mass conserved-> no atoms (mass) created or destroyed in the reaction.
A conical flask containing 200 mL of hydrochloric acid solution is placed on a precision balance.
0.01 mol of zinc powder is added to the flask and a loose plug of cotton wool is inserted into the top of the flask to prevent any liquid escaping.
The following chemical reaction occurs:
Zn(π ) + 2HCl(ππ) βΆ ZnCl2 (aq) + H2 (π)
a) What measurement(s) must be made so that the mass of hydrogen produced can be determined? (1 mark)
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.
Refer to the balanced equation, reproduced below, when answering this question:
Zn(π ) + 2HCl(ππ) βΆ ZnCl2 (aq) + H2 (π)
Why is there no change in the amount of hydrogen produced when adding more than 0.12
mol of zinc?
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.
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 molβ1.
info: 4.16 x 10^-3 mol of XHCO3 was reacted in each titration.
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
= 83.87 g mol^-1
The equations listed below produce gaseous water.
Equation 1: H2O(π) β H2O(π)
Equation 2: 2H2(π) + O2(π) β 2H2O(π)
Why is the change summarised in equation 2 classified as a chemical change, whereas the
change summarised in equation 1 is not? (2 marks)
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.
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
Ba(OH)2 (aq)-> Ba^2++ 2OH^-
0.387 molββ> 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
