1. The insoluble salt lead(II) chloride (PbCl2) can be prepared by reacting a solution of lead(II) nitrate with dilute
hydrochloric acid.
(i) write down the equation for the reaction by adding the state symbols.
(ii) Show that the maximum mass of lead(II) chloride that can be made from 0.0370 mol of hydrochloric acid is about 5 g.
[Mr of PbCl2 = 278]

2. Many different salts can be prepared from acids.

(a) The table shows the reactants used in two salt preparations. Complete the table to show the name of the salt formed and
the other product(s) in each case.

(b) A student uses the reaction between aluminium hydroxide and dilute sulfuric acid to prepare a pure, dry sample of
aluminium sulfate crystals. The equation for the reaction used to prepare this salt is

The diagram shows the steps in the student’s method.

I. Write all 5 steps in brief

II. State two ways to make sure that all the acid is reacted in step 2.

III. State the purpose of filtration in step 3

IV. In step 5, the basin is left to cool to room temperature to allow crystals of aluminium sulfate to form. State one method of
drying these crystals.

V. The student records this information about the reagents she uses in her preparation.
mass of aluminium hydroxide = 3.9 g
amount of sulfuric acid = 0.090 mol

mass of aluminium sulfate prepared

VII. The equation for another reaction used to prepare a sample of a salt is

In one experiment, the amount of lead(II) oxide used was 0.75 mol and the amount of nitric acid used was 1.5 mol. At the
end of the experiment, the mass of lead(II) nitrate obtained was 209 g. Calculate the percentage yield of lead(II) nitrate in
this experiment. [Mr of lead(II) nitrate = 331]
