1. Hydrated iron(II) sulphate was heated in and the liquid was collected in another test tube through a delivery tube.
a. Explain why the tube containing FeSO4 was clamped in a slanting positioin.
b. Suggest a test to show that the liquid collected was water.
c. Why is it desirable to keep the free end of the delivery tube above the liquid collected in the test tube?
d. The formula for hydrated iron(II) sulphate is FeSO4 xH2O. In the above experiment, 30.6 g of the sulphate produced 13.9 g of water. Calculate the value of x.
(Rel. atm. masses: H = 1.0, O = 16.0, S = 32.1, Fe = 55.8)
2a. When iron(III) hydroxide was heated to a high temperature, iron(III) oxide was formed.
2Fe(OH)3 (s) -----> Fe2O3 (s) + 3H2O (g)
Calculate the maximum mass of water formed from 5.35 g of iron(III) hydroxide.
2b. Another oxide of iron consists of 72.4% iron by mass. Calculate the empirical formula of this oxide.
(rel. atm. masses: H = 1.0, O = 16.0, Fe = 55.8)
3. Aluminium can displace copper from copper(II) sulphate solution.
a. Write a chemical equation for the reaction involved.
b. In a certain experiment, 2.58 g of copper were produced from 1.61 g of aluminium and excess copper(II) sulphate solution. What was the percentage yield of copper in the reaction?
(rel atm masses: Al = 27.0, Cu = 63.5)
4. Manganese(IV) oxide reacts with concentrated hydrochloric acid according to the following equation:
MnO2 (s) + 4HCl (aq) ----------> MnCl2 (aq) + Cl2 (g) + 2H2O (l)
217 g of manganese(IV) oxide were treated with hydrochloric acid containing 274 of hydrogen chloride. Determine:
a. the limiting reactant
b. the mass of chlorine produced
c. the mass of excess reagent left after the reaction
(rel atm masses: H = 1.0, O = 16.0, Cl = 35.5, Mn = 54.9)
