1. CE07Q5 (10 marks)
A solid sample contains zinc and copper only. The composition of the solid
sample was analyzed experimentally as outline below.

2.00 g of the solid sample was added to excess dilute hydrochloric acid in a
beaker. Upon completion of reaction, the mixture inside the beaker was filtered.
The residue obtained was first washed with distilled water, and then dried. The
mass of the dried residue was 1.75g.
(a) write a chemical equation for the reaction involved.

(b) How can one know that the reaction has been completed?

(c) Explain why it is necessary to wash the residue obtained?

(d) Explain why it is NOT appropriate to dry the residue with a Bunsen flame
after washing.

(e) Assuming negligible experimental errors, calculate the percentage of zinc by

mass in the solid sample.
2. 16. CE00Q4(Essay) (5 marks)
The mass of a sample of copper powder contaminated with copper(II) oxide is
known. Describe how you would conduct an experiment to determine the
percentage by mass of copper powder in the sample. State the expected
observation of the experiment.
(Hints: you may use an acid in the experiment.)
