What is the method for the determination of compositiion of copper (II) carbonate
- weigh 1.5g of CuCO3.Cu(OH)2 add to conical flask
- measure 50cm3 of H2SO4 in a 50cm3 measuring cylinfer
- add H2SO4 into the concical flak and immeridatley insert stopper
- gas will collect in measuring cyclineder
- record final volume of CO2 in measuring cylinder
What are the calculations for determination of compositiion of copper (II) carbonate
- calculate volume of CO2 collected
- work out amount of CuCO3 reacted in moles
- calculate the percentage by mas of CuCO3 in CuCO3.Cu(OH)2
What are the errors in determination of compositiion of copper (II) carbonate and how do you overcome them
- CO2 can ecape before bung inserted - insert bund soon as acid been poured in conical flak
- some copper carbonate may not react - swirl flask to mix contentents ensure reaction go to completion
- CO2 dissolve in water - use gas syring to measure CO2 measured
- some copper carbonate may remain in weighing boat not transferred to conical flask - add copper carbonate from boat into conical flask reweigh boat and difference in masses is exact mass of copper carbonate
What are the hazards of determination of compositiion of copper (II) carbonate
- CuCO3.Cu(OH)2 - eye irritation , harmuful when inaheld or swallowed
- sulfuric acid - severe skin burns and eye damage
Describe method 1 for the determination of relative atomic mass of magneium
- add 10cm3 of sulfuric acid to conical flask
- weigh 0.15g of magneuym add magnesuym to acid place bung into flask immediatley
- gas produced collect in measuring cylinder
- record final colume of hydrogen into a measuring cylinder
- retain solution
Decribe method 2 for the determination of relative atomic mass of magneium
- weigh clean evaporating basin
- pour olution form method 1 into evaporating basin
- rinse conical flask with distilled water and add washing to evaporating basin
- evaporate until dry solid in evaporating basin
- leave cool leave solid magnesium suplahte mass is difference final mass and mass of empty basin
What is the calculation for the determination of relative atomic mass of magneium
- mols of magnesium sulphate
- work out amount Mg in MgSO4
- ue original mass of Mg calculate relative atomic mass of magnesium
Describe the errors in determination of relative atomic mass of magneium and how to overcome them
- imilar to determination of componition of copper (II) carbonate
- solid magnesium sulphate not completely dry - ensure complete dryness heat until mass no longer changes
What are the safety measures in determination of relative atomic mass of magneium
- sulfuric acid - sever burns and eye damage
- magnesium - flammable
