1 (1989-9)
Which of the following metals can liberate hydrogen from both dilute hydrochloric acid and dilute sodium hydroxide solution?
A.Aluminium
B.Iron
C.Lead
D.Magnesium Why?

2(1990-22)
X is a white solid. When dilute hydrochloric acid is added to X, a colourless gas is liberated. An aqueous solution of X gives a white precipitate with silver nitrate solution. X is probably
A.Ammonium chloride
B.Sodium ethanoate
C.Sodium carbonate
D.Calcium carbonate.
Answer: C (Why not D?)

(2) Concentrated sulphuric acid
(3) Concentrated nitric acid
A.(1) only
B.(2) only

D.(2) and (3) only
Answer: C (Why?)

4.7.5g of calcium carbonate is added to 50.0cm3 of 2M hydrochloric acid. What is the volume of carbon dioxide liberated at room temperature and pressure? (1998-28)
(Relative atomic masses: C=12.0, O=16.0, Ca = 40.0;
Molar volume of gas at room temperature and pressure = 24.0
dm3)
A.0.9 dm3
B.1.2 dm3
C.1.8 dm3
D.2.4 dm3 The answer is B instead of C. Why?

5.Which of the following products are formed when nitrogen dioxide reacts with sodium hydroxide solution? (1992-32)

✔ 最佳答案

1. A
2Al + 6H(+) ------> 3H2 + 2Al(3+)
2Al + 6H2O + 2OH(-) ------> 2[Al(OH)4](-) + 3H2
the second equation can be tricky.
first write equation between aluminium and water to give aluminium oxide and hydrogen; followed by reaction between Al2O3 and hydroxide to give aluminate ion.

2.
X should be soluble in water. sodium carbonate is, but calcium carbonate isn't.

3.
potassium permanganate will break down into manganese dioxide and oxygen, speed-up by light;
nitric acid will undergo photo-decomposition to give nitrogen dioxide and oxygen.
sulphuric acid is stable under light.

4.
CaCO3 + 2HCl ------> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
no. of mole of HCl = (50/1000)x2 = 0.1 mole
no. of mole of calcium carbonate = 7.5 / (40+12+16x3) = 0.075 mole
mole ratio of CaCO3 : HCl = 1:2
thus hydrochloric acid is IN EXCESS!!
no. of mole of CO2 produced = 0.05 mole
volume = 0.05 x 24 = 1.2 dm^3

ALWAYS check if one or more reactants are in excess!
which one is limited reagent?

5.
it's related to Redox reaction ---- REDuction-OXidation reaction. 氧化還原作用
oxidation number of N in NO2 is +4, N in nitrite is +3, N in nitrate is +5.
nitrogen dissolves in water to give nitrous acid and nitric acid.

6.
copper dissolves to give blue solution. colorless gas is given out.
HOWEVER, the gas is not hydrogen; it's sulphur dioxide.
2Cu + 2H2SO4 ------> 2CuSO4 + SO2 + 2H2O
don't worry. it'll be included in Redox.
