Answer Module 10A Salt1
1 Copper (II) oxide is added little by little to 25 cm3 of 1.0 mol dm-3 sulphuric acid to form copper (II) sulphate until it is excess. The solution is stirred. The solution is filtered. After that the filtrate is heated until it is saturated. Finally it is cooled at room temperature. Copper (II) sulphate crystals are formed. [Relative atomic mass, Cu,64; S,32; O,16] i) ii) Write the chemical equation for the reaction CuO + H2SO4 CuSO4 + H2O. Calculate the mass of copper (II) sulphate Number of mole H2SO4 = (1.0) ( 25)/ 1000 = 0.025 mol 1 mol H2SO4 0.025 mol H2SO4 1 mol CuSO4 0.025 mol CuSO4
Mass = 0.025 X [ 64 + 32 + 4(16) ] = 0.025 x 160 =4g 2 Diagram 1shows a series of reactions for the production of zinc nitrates and substances Q. Zinc carbonate is one of the reactant. ZnCO3 Stage I Solution P + Gas R + H2O

Filter the mixture containing substance Q. Rinse the substance Q with distilled water. Press the substance Q between two filter papers 3 (a) You are provided with two different chemical substances below. Zinc oxide powder 1 mol dm3 sulphuric acid 50 cm3 of 1 mol dm3 sulphuric acid reacts with excess zinc oxide powder. [Relative Atomic Mass : Zn, 65 ; S,32 ; O,16] (i) Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction above. ZnO + H2SO4 (ii) ZnSO4 + H2O
Calculate the mass of the salt formed. Number of mol of H2SO4 = (1.0)(50)/ 1000 = 0.05 mol 1 mol H2SO4 0.05 mol H2SO4 1 mol ZnSO4 0.05 mol ZnSO4
= 8.05 g Describe a laboratory experiment to prepare dry zinc sulphate using the chemical provided in (a). List out the suitable apparatus that are used to prepare the salt. Apparatus : Beaker, glass rod, 100 cm 3 measuring cylinder, wire gauze, tripod stand, Bunsen burner, conical flask, spatula, filter funnel, filter paper. Procedure: 1. 30 cm3 of 1 mol dm3 sulphuric acid is measured using a measuring cylinder and poured into a beaker and heated. 2. Using a spatula, zinc oxide powder is added a little at a time to the hot sulphuric acid while stirring continuously with a glass rod until the zinc oxide is in excess. 3. The mixture is filtered to remove excess zinc oxide powder. 4. The filtrate is heated until 1/3 of the original volume . 5. The saturated solution is allowed to cool to room temperature. 6. The zinc sulphate crystals formed are removed by filtration and rinsed with a little distilled water. 7. Finally, the crystals are pressed between two filter papers to dry it.
