4 A student set up an apparatus to measure the volume of carbon dioxide given off
when a sample of a carbonate of a Group 2 metal was reacted with dilute nitric
acid.
She weighed out some of the carbonate and put it in a conical flask. She then
added an excess of dilute nitric acid.
After adding the acid she placed the bung and delivery tube into the conical flask.
She measured the total volume of gas collected at room temperature and
pressure (rtp) in the measuring cylinder. Her results are shown in the table.
2.58 g
156 cm3
(a) Draw a labelled diagram on the set-up of the apparatus for collecting the gas.
