Question

A student investigated the rate at which hydrogen gas is made when magnesium reacts with two different solutions of dilute hydrochloric acid, C and D, with different concentrations. The dilute hydrochloric acid was in excess in both experiments. Two experiments were done using the apparatus shown. rubber delivery tube clamp bung inverted 100 cm3 measuring cylinder conical flask trough dilute hydrochloric acid water Experiment 1 ● A measuring cylinder was used to pour 50 cm3 of dilute hydrochloric acid C into a conical flask. ● The initial temperature of the dilute hydrochloric acid was measured using a thermometer. ● The apparatus was set up as shown in the diagram. ● The bung was removed from the conical flask and a coiled 5 cm length of magnesium ribbon was added to the flask. The bung was replaced immediately and a timer started. ● The volume of gas collected in the inverted measuring cylinder was recorded every 20 seconds for 160 seconds. ● The final temperature of the dilute hydrochloric acid in the flask was measured using a thermometer. (a) Use the thermometer diagrams and the diagrams of inverted measuring cylinders to complete the tables. initial final thermometer diagram temperature / °C thermometer diagram temperature / °C 30 40 25 35 20 30 time / s 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 diagrams of 20 40 50 70 80 80 80 80 inverted 30 50 60 80 90 90 90 90 measuring cylinder 40 60 70 90 100 100 100 100 volume of gas collected / cm3 [2] (b) Experiment 2 ● Experiment 1 was repeated using 50 cm3 of dilute hydrochloric acid D instead of dilute hydrochloric acid C.

Question

Solid E and solution F were analysed. Solid E was ammonium sulfate. Tests were done on each substance. tests on solid E Complete the expected observations. Solid E was dissolved in water to form solution E. Solution E was divided into three approximately equal portions in one boiling tube and two test-tubes. (a) Aqueous sodium hydroxide was added to the first portion of solution E in a boiling tube. The mixture formed was warmed. Any gas produced was tested. observations …… . …… identity of gas …… [2] (b) To the second portion of solution E, about 1 cm depth of dilute nitric acid followed by a few drops of aqueous silver nitrate were added. observations …… [1] (c) To the third portion of solution E, about 1 cm depth of dilute nitric acid followed by a few drops of aqueous barium nitrate were added. observations …… [1] tests on solution F tests observations Solution F was divided into two equal portions in two test-tubes. test 1 A strip of universal indicator paper was placed the universal indicator paper turned orange in the first portion of solution F. test 2 The second portion of solution F was added to effervescence and the solid disappeared solid sodium carbonate in a boiling tube.

Question

A sample of muddy river water contains water, dissolved solids and insoluble solid mud. Plan an investigation to find the concentration of dissolved solids, in g / dm3, in the river water. In your answer state how you will work out the concentration of the dissolved solids in g / dm3. You are provided with a small sample (less than 1 dm3) of muddy river water and common laboratory apparatus.
