Question

You are to determine the enthalpy change for a metal displacement reaction using a known volume and concentration of copper(II) sulfate and an excess of powdered zinc. Cu2+(aq) + Zn(s) → Zn2+(aq) + Cu(s) FB 1 is 0.80 mol dm–3 copper(II) sulfate, CuSO4. FB 2 is zinc, Zn. (a) Method ● Weigh the container with FB 2. Record the mass. ● Support the cup in the 250 cm3 beaker. ● Use the 50 cm3 measuring cylinder to transfer 30.0 cm3 of FB 1 into the cup. ● Place the thermometer in the solution. Measure and record the initial temperature of the solution. This is the temperature at time zero, t = 0. ● Start timing and do not stop the clock until the whole experiment has been completed. ● Measure and record the temperature of the solution every half minute for 2 minutes. ● At time t = 2 12 minutes tip all the FB 2 into the solution and stir the mixture. ● Measure and record the temperature of the mixture at t = 3 minutes and every half minute until t = 9 minutes. Stir the mixture between thermometer readings. ● Weigh the container with any residue of FB 2. Record the mass. ● Calculate and record the mass of FB 2 added to the solution.

The scale for temperature should extend 5 °C above your highest recorded temperature. You will use this graph to determine the theoretical maximum temperature rise at 2 12 minutes. [3] (ii) Draw two lines of best fit through the points on your graph. The first line should be for the temperature before adding FB 2 and the second for the cooling of the mixture. Extrapolate the two lines to 2 12 minutes. Draw a vertical line at 2 12 minutes. Determine the theoretical rise in temperature at this time. theoretical rise in temperature at 2 12 minutes = …… °C [2] (c) Calculations (i) Calculate the amount, in mol, of copper(II) sulfate in FB 1 added to the cup in (a). amount of CuSO4 = …… mol [1] (ii) Show that the amount of zinc you added was in excess. [1] (iii) Use your answer to (b)(ii) to calculate the heat energy, in joules, given out when FB 2 is added to FB 1. heat energy = …… J [1] (iv) Calculate the enthalpy change of reaction, ∆Hr, for the reaction carried out in (a). Show your working. ∆Hr = …… …… kJ mol–1 sign value[1] (d) A student carries out two further experiments using method (a). In the first experiment, FB 1 is made using a fresh sample of hydrated copper(II) sulfate, CuSO4•5H2O. In the second experiment, FB 1 is made using an old sample of hydrated copper(II) sulfate. The same mass of solid is used to make the solutions in these experiments. In the second experiment, the student obtains a value for ∆Hr that is 10.7 kJ mol–1 greater in magnitude than the value from the first experiment. Suggest what may be deduced about the formula of the old sample of hydrated copper(II) sulfate. The water of crystallisation is greater than 5. The formula, CuSO4•5H2O, is correct. The water of crystallisation is less than 5. Tick the appropriate box and explain your answer. . …… . …… . …… [2] [Total: 15]

Many metal carbonates, such as copper(II) carbonate, exist as basic carbonates. These are a combination of the metal carbonate and a base of the metal. A bottle is labelled copper(II) carbonate, CuCO3. You will carry out a gravimetric experiment to see whether the formula given is correct. CuCO3(s) → CuO(s) + CO2(g) FB 3 is copper(II) carbonate and may have the formula CuCO3. (a) Method ● Weigh a crucible with its lid. Record the mass. ● Add 1.50–1.80 g of FB 3 to the crucible. ● Weigh the crucible and lid with FB 3. Record the mass. ● Place the crucible on the pipe-clay triangle. Heat the crucible, with the lid on, gently for approximately 1 minute and then strongly for another minute. ● Remove the lid. Heat the crucible strongly for about 4 minutes. ● Replace the lid and leave the crucible and residue to cool for at least 5 minutes. While the crucible is cooling you may wish to begin work on Question 3. ● Reweigh the crucible and contents with its lid.

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.
