Question 1
A0.50 g sample of a Group 2 metal, M, was added to of hydrochloric acid (an excess).
equation 1
Question 1(a)
Calculate the amount, in moles, of hydrochloric acid present in of .
amount = mol
Question 1(b)
When the reaction had finished, the resulting solution was made up to in a volumetric flask.
A sample of the solution from the volumetric flask required of sodium carbonate solution, , for complete neutralisation of the remaining hydrochloric acid.
Question 1(b)(ii)
Calculate the amount, in moles, of sodium carbonate needed to react with the hydrochloric acid in the sample from the volumetric flask.
amount = mol
Question 1(b)(iii)
Calculate the amount, in moles, of hydrochloric acid in the sample.
amount = mol
Question 1(b)(iv)
Calculate the total amount, in moles, of hydrochloric acid remaining after the reaction shown in equation 1.
amount = mol
Question 1(b)(v)
Use your answers to (a) and (b)(iv) to calculate the amount, in moles, of hydrochloric acid that reacted with the 0.50 g sample of M.
amount = mol
Question 1(b)(vi)
Use your answer to (v) and equation 1 to calculate the amount, in moles, of M in the 0.50 g sample.
amount = mol
Question 1(b)(vii)
Calculate the relative atomic mass, , of M and identify M.
of M=
identity of M=
