1 Calcium carbonate reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid. The products of the reaction are
aqueous calcium chloride, water and carbon dioxide gas.

A student investigated the rate of the reaction between calcium carbonate and dilute hydrochloric
acid using the apparatus shown.

cotton wool

flask

dilute hydrochloric acid


calcium carbonate

balance
124.25 g

The mass of the flask and contents was recorded every 30 seconds.
When the reaction stopped there were still small pieces of calcium carbonate in the flask.

(a) State what happens to the reading on the balance as the reaction takes place.
Explain your answer.

2 A student investigated the temperature change when anhydrous lithium chloride dissolves in water.

The student did six experiments.

(a) Experiment 1
● Using a measuring cylinder, 30 cm3 of distilled water was poured into a 100 cm3 beaker.
● The initial temperature of the water was measured using a thermometer.
● 1.0 g of anhydrous lithium chloride was added to the water in the beaker. At the same time
a timer was started.
● The water and lithium chloride mixture was continually stirred using a thermometer.
● The temperature of the mixture was measured after 30 seconds.
● The beaker was rinsed with distilled water.

Experiment 2
● Experiment 1 was repeated using 1.5 g of anhydrous lithium chloride instead of the 1.0 g
of anhydrous lithium chloride.

Experiment 3
● Experiment 1 was repeated using 2.0 g of anhydrous lithium chloride instead of the 1.0 g
of anhydrous lithium chloride.

Experiment 4
● Experiment 1 was repeated using 2.5 g of anhydrous lithium chloride instead of the 1.0 g
of anhydrous lithium chloride.

Experiment 5
● Experiment 1 was repeated using 3.0 g of anhydrous lithium chloride instead of the 1.0 g
of anhydrous lithium chloride.

Experiment 6
● Experiment 1 was repeated using 4.0 g of anhydrous lithium chloride instead of the 1.0 g
of anhydrous lithium chloride.

3 Solution A and solid B were analysed. Solution A was aqueous copper(II) bromide.
Tests were done on each substance.

Complete the expected observations.

tests on solution A

Solution A was divided into three approximately equal portions in three test-tubes.

(a) The end of a piece of wire was dipped into the first portion of solution A. The end of the wire
was then placed at the edge of a roaring Bunsen burner flame.

Solid B was added to 15 cm of water in
a boiling tube. A bung was placed in the
boiling tube and it was shaken to dissolve
solid B and form solution B. Solution B was
divided into three approximately equal portions
in three test-tubes.

To the second portion of solution B aqueous a white precipitate formed which


sodium hydroxide was added dropwise and remained when excess aqueous

4 Fizzy drinks contain carbon dioxide gas dissolved in a liquid. The carbon dioxide gas can be
removed from the fizzy drink by heating.

Plan an investigation to find the volume of carbon dioxide gas in 1 dm3 of a fizzy drink.
Include in your answer how you will calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas dissolved in 1 dm3
of a fizzy drink.

You are provided with a small sample (less than 1 dm3) of the fizzy drink and common laboratory
apparatus.
(1 dm3 = 1000 cm3)
