Question

Calcium carbonate reacts with hydrochloric acid to release carbon dioxide. CaCO3(s) + 2HCl (aq) → CaCl 2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l) The concentration of the hydrochloric acid can be determined by reacting it with calcium carbonate and measuring the volume of carbon dioxide formed. FB 1 is hydrochloric acid, HCl. FB 2 is calcium carbonate, CaCO3. (a) Method ● Fill the tub with tap water to a depth of approximately 5 cm. ● Fill the 250 cm3 measuring cylinder completely with water. Hold a piece of paper towel firmly over the top, invert the measuring cylinder and place it in the water in the tub. ● Remove the paper towel and clamp the inverted measuring cylinder so the open end is in the water just above the base of the tub. ● Using the 50 cm3 measuring cylinder, transfer 50 cm3 of FB 1 into the flask. Check that the bung fits tightly into the neck of the flask, clamp the flask and place the end of the delivery tube into the inverted 250 cm3 measuring cylinder. ● Remove the bung from the neck of the flask. Tip all the FB 2, from the container, into the acid in the flask and replace the bung immediately. Remove the flask from the clamp and swirl it to mix the contents. ● Replace the flask in the clamp. Leave for several minutes, swirling the flask occasionally. You may wish to start Question 3 while the gas is being produced. ● When the reaction stops producing gas, record the final volume of gas in the measuring cylinder. Keep the flask and contents for use in 1(c)(i). volume of gas = …… cm3 [2] (b) Calculations (i) Calculate the amount, in mol, of carbon dioxide collected in the measuring cylinder. (Assume that 1 mol of gas occupies 24.0 dm3 under these conditions.) amount of CO2 = …… mol [1] (ii) Use your answer to (b)(i) and the equation on page 2 to calculate the concentration, in mol dm–3, of hydrochloric acid in FB 1. Show your working. concentration of HCl = …… mol dm–3 [2] (c) (i) A student thinks that the mass of FB 2 should be measured. Explain, by observing the contents of the flask, why this is not necessary. . …… . …… . …… [2] (ii) In this experiment some carbon dioxide is lost before the bung is replaced. Suggest a change that could be made to minimise the loss of gas. Explain how this change minimises the loss of gas. . …… . …… . …… [1] [Total: 8]

Question 217 marks

Question

In this experiment you will use a thermometric method to determine the concentration of a sample of alkali. You will mix varying volumes of acid with a fixed volume of the alkali and measure the temperature rises that occur. You will use your experimental data to calculate the enthalpy change for the neutralisation of the acid with alkali. FB 3 is aqueous sodium hydroxide, NaOH. FB 4 is 2.20 mol dm–3 hydrochloric acid, HCl. (a) Method ● Support the cup in the 250 cm3 beaker. ● Use the thermometer to measure the initial temperature of FB 3. initial temperature of FB 3 = …… °C ● Fill a burette with distilled water. ● Fill the other burette with FB 4. Label this burette FB 4. ● or Experiment 1, use the 10 cm3 pipette to transfer 10.0 cm3 of FB 3 into the cup. F ● dd 9.00 cm3 of distilled water from the burette into the same cup. A ● Add 1.00 cm3 of FB 4 from the other burette into the same cup. ● Stir the mixture and use the thermometer to measure the maximum temperature obtained. ● Record the maximum temperature in the table. ● Empty and shake dry the cup ready for use in Experiment 2. ● Repeat the method using 10.0 cm3 of FB 3 for each experiment and the volumes of water and FB 4 shown in the table. In each case, measure and record the maximum temperature. Table 2.1 volume water volume FB 4 maximum experiment / cm3 / cm3 temperature / °C 1 9.00 1.00 2 7.00 3.00 3 5.00 5.00 4 3.00 7.00 I 5 1.00 9.00 II III 6 IV 7 V Carry out two further experiments which will enable you to determine more precisely the volume of FB 4 that gives the highest maximum temperature. Record your measurements for these two experiments in the table. [5] (b) Plot a graph of the maximum temperature reached (y-axis) and the volume of FB 4 used (x-axis). The scale on the y-axis should include a temperature 2 °C above the highest maximum temperature reached. Circle any points you consider to be anomalous. I Draw two straight lines of best fit on your graph. One line should show where the maximum temperature recorded was increasing. The other line should be after the highest maximum II temperature. Extrapolate both lines so that they intersect. III Use your graph to determine the volume of FB 4 that reacts with 10.00 cm3 of FB 3.

Do not suggest any modifications to apparatus in your answer. . …… . …… . …… . …… [1] [Total: 17] Qualitative analysis For each test you should record all your observations in the spaces provided. Examples of observations include: ● colour changes seen ● the formation of any precipitate and its solubility (where appropriate) in an excess of the reagent added ● the formation of any gas and its identification (where appropriate) by a suitable test. You should record clearly at what stage in a test an observation is made. Where no change is observed you should write ‘no change’. Where reagents are selected for use in a test, the name or correct formula of the element or compound must be given. If any solution is warmed, a boiling tube must be used. Rinse and reuse test-tubes and boiling tubes where possible. No additional tests should be attempted.
