Chemistry
WAEC 2003

State what you would see on;

(i) bubbling SO\(_2\) into acidified KMnO\(_4\) solution

(ii) mixing zinc dust with CuSO\(_4\) solution

(iii) adding concentrated HNO\(_3\) to freshly prepared FeSO\(_4\) solution.

(b) List two substances in case which, if added to dilute H\(_2\)SO\(_4\), would give you

(i) H\(_{2(g)}\)

(ii) ZnSO\(_{4(aq)}\)

 

(c)

The diagram labelled I to IV below illustrate different laboratory set-ups used in the separation of mixtures.

(i) Name the separation technique illustrated by each diagram

(ii) Which of the set-ups is used for concentrating dilute salt solutions, for the purpose of crystallization?

(iii) Which of the set-ups is used in obtaining clear water from muddy water?

(iv) Mention the set-up you would use to separate a polar solvent from a non-polar solvent

(v) State the modification you would make to the set-up labelled IV in order to use it for separating a mixture of NaCl and NH\(_4\)CI

Explanation

(i) On bubbling SO\(_2\) into acidified KMnO\(_4\) solution the solution becomes decolorized/ the solution disappears/discharged.

(ii) On mixing zinc dust with CuSO\(_{4(aq)}\) solution, the blue colour of the CuSO\(_{(aq)}\) gradually disappears/the solution becomes colourless. A reddish-brown or pink deposit is obtained.

(iii) On adding concentrated HNO\(_3\) to freshly prepared FeSO\(_4\) the solution, the solution changes colour from green to brown.

 

(b) Substances which, if added to dilute H\(_2\)SO\(_4\) would give;

(i) Hydrogen-magnesium/iron/zinc

(ii) ZnSO\(_{4(aq)}\) - ZnO/ZnCO\(_3\)/Zn

 

(c) (i) I - Filtration

II - Chromatography

III - Use of separating funnel/solvent extraction

IV - Evaporation

(ii) The set-up labelled IV is used for concentrating salt solutions.

(iii) The set-up labelled I is used in obtaining clear water from muddy water.

(iv) The set up labelled lIl is used for the separation of a polar solvent from a non-polar solvent.

(v) In order to use the set-up labelled (IV) for separating a mixture of NaCl and NH\(_4\)CI, cover the evaporating dish with an inverted funnel.
