Quantitative Analysis

Read through the whole method before starting any practical work. Where appropriate, prepare a table
for your results in the space provided.

Showyourworkingandappropriatesignificantfiguresinthefinalanswertoeach step of your calculations.

1 Many metal hydroxides decompose when heated to produce water vapour and the metal oxide as
residue.

In this experiment, you will heat a metal hydroxide M(OH)2. You will then identify the metal M.

M(OH)2(s) MO(s) + H2O(g)

FB 1 is the hydroxide of a metal in Group 2 of the Periodic Table, M(OH)2.

You are supplied with approximately 2 g of FB 1.

2 In this experiment you will determine the enthalpy change, ΔHr , for the decomposition of calcium
hydroxide to calcium oxide.

Ca(OH)2(s) CaO(s)+H2O(l)

To do this, you will determine the enthalpy changes for the reactions of calcium hydroxide and
calcium oxide with hydrochloric acid. Excess acid will be used for both experiments.

You will then use Hess’ Law to calculate the enthalpy change for the reaction above.

FB 2is3.0moldm–3hydrochloricacid,HCl.
FB 3iscalciumhydroxide,Ca(OH)2.
FB 4iscalciumoxide,CaO.

Qualitative Analysis

Where reagents are selected for use in a test, the name or correct formula of the element or compound
must be given.

Ateachstageofanytestyouaretorecorddetailsofthefollowing:

● colour changes seen;

● the formation of any precipitate and its solubility in an excess of the reagent added;
● theformationofanygasanditsidentificationbyasuitabletest.

You should indicate clearly at what stage in a test a change occurs.

If any solution is warmed, a boiling tube must be used.

Rinseandreusetest-tubesandboilingtubeswherepossible.

No additional tests for ions present should be attempted.
