1. The fomula for hydrated iron(II) sulphate is FeSO4 . xH2O. On strong heating, 20.1 g of the sulphate produces 9.1 g of water. What is the value of x?
2. Metal X forms an oxide. 27.53g of this oxide contains 24.96g of X. What is the mole ratio of X to oxygen in the oxide?
3.For each of the following experiments, state 1 observable change and write a chemical equation for the reation involved.
(a)Dilute nitric acid is added to magnesium carbonate powder in a beaker.
(b)A small piece of calcium is placed in a Bunsen flame.
(c)A mixture of copper(II)oxide and carbon powder is heated in a test tube.
4. There is a can of fruit juice. The body of the can is made of iron coated with another metal. The top of the can and the ring-pull are made of aluminium. Suggest why it is not advisable to buy cans of fruit juice.
