Answer Details

Equation of reaction : 2NaOH + H $_{2}$ SO $_{4}$ → Na $_{2}$ SO $_{4}$ + 2H $_{2}$ O

Concentration of a base, CB = 0.5M

Volume of acid, V $_{A}$ = 10cm $^{3}$

Concentration of an acid, C $_{A}$ = 1.25M

Volume of base, V $_{B}$ = ?

Recall:
$\frac{C_{A} V_{A}}{C_{B} V_{B}} = \frac{n_{A}}{n_{B}}$ ... (1)
N.B: From the equation,
$\frac{n_{A}}{n_{B}} = \frac{1}{2}$

From (1)
$\frac{1.25 \times 10}{0.5 \times V_{B}} = \frac{1}{2}$
$\frac{12.5}{0.5 V_{B}} = \frac{1}{2}$
25 = 0.5V $_{B}$

Question 29 Report

200cm $^{3}$ of 0.50mol/dm $^{3}$ solution of calcium hydrogen trioxocarbonate (IV) is heated. The maximum weight of solid precipitated is

10g

25g

20g

15g

Answer Details

To solve this problem, we need to use the concept of stoichiometry and the solubility product constant (Ksp) of calcium hydrogen trioxocarbonate (IV). First, we need to write the balanced equation for the reaction that occurs when the solution of calcium hydrogen trioxocarbonate (IV) is heated: Ca(HCO3)2(s) → CaCO3(s) + H2O(g) + CO2(g) From the balanced equation, we can see that 1 mole of calcium hydrogen trioxocarbonate (IV) produces 1 mole of calcium carbonate. Therefore, we need to determine the number of moles of calcium hydrogen trioxocarbonate (IV) in the solution: Number of moles = concentration x volume Number of moles = 0.50 mol/dm³ x 0.2 dm³ Number of moles = 0.1 mol Since 1 mole of calcium hydrogen trioxocarbonate (IV) produces 1 mole of calcium carbonate, the number of moles of calcium carbonate produced will also be 0.1 mol. Next, we need to use the solubility product constant (Ksp) of calcium carbonate to determine the maximum amount of solid that can be precipitated: Ksp = [Ca²⁺][CO3²⁻] Ksp = 3.3 x 10⁻⁹ (at 25°C) At the maximum amount of solid precipitated, all the calcium carbonate formed will have precipitated, and the concentration of calcium ions and carbonate ions will be equal. Therefore, we can assume that the concentration of calcium ions and carbonate ions is both x. Substituting into the Ksp expression: Ksp = x² 3.3 x 10⁻⁹ = x² x = 5.74 x 10⁻⁵ mol/dm³ The mass of calcium carbonate precipitated can now be calculated: Mass = number of moles x molar mass Mass = 0.1 mol x 100.1 g/mol Mass = 10.01 g Therefore, the maximum weight of solid precipitated is approximately 10 g. Note that this calculation assumes that all the calcium carbonate precipitated as a solid, which may not always be the case in a real-world experiment. Additionally, this calculation does not take into account any losses due to filtration or other experimental errors.

By what amount must the temperature of 200cm $^{3}$ of Nitrogen at 27°C be increased to double the pressure if the final volume is 150cm $^{3}$ (Assume ideality)

150°C

177°C

75°C

120°C

Answer Details

Using the ideal gas law and equation:
$\frac{P_{1} V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2} V_{2}}{T_{2}}$
$\frac{P_{1} \times 200 {cm}^{3}}{300 K} = \frac{2 P \times 150 {cm}^{3}}{T_{2}}$
Cross multiply:
$T_{2} = \frac{300 \times 150 \times 2 P}{200 \times P}$
$= 450 K$ or $177^{\circ} C$
Don't forget to convert to $^{\circ} C$

Two or more ions are said to be isoelectronic if they have the same electronic structure and the same number of valence electrons.
Na $^{+}$ = 10 electrons = 2, 8
Mg $^{2 +}$ = 10 electrons = 2,8
O $^{2 -}$ = 10 electrons = 2,8
Si $^{2 +}$ = 12 electrons = 2,8,2
$⟹$ Si $^{2 +}$ is not isoelectronic with the rest.
