(a)(i) Define each of the following terms: I. normal salt. II. acid salt.

(ii) Tetraoxosulphate (VI) acid and sodium hydroxide react to produce salt and water. Write a balanced chemical equation fir the formation of: I. a normal salt; II. an acid salt.

(b)(i) Explain briefly the term acid-base indicator.

(ii) Copy and complete the following table.

Indicator

, Colour in acidic medium

, Colour in basic medium

Methyl orange

   

Phenolphthalein

   

 

(iii) For each of the following titrations, state the most suitable indicator: I. strong acid against strong base; II. strong acid against weak base; iii. weak acid against strong base.

(c) Baking soda and hydrochloric acid react according to the following equation:

NaHCO\(_{3(aq)}\) + HCI\(_{(aq)}\) ---> NaCl\(_{(aq)}\) CO\(_{2(g)}\) + H\(_2\)O\(_{(l)}\). Calculate the mass of baking soda that would produce 10g of ccrbon (IV) oxide. [H = 1.00, C = 12.0, 0 = 16.0, Na = 23.0]

(d) Give a reason why a given mass of sodium hydroxide pellets cannot be used to prepare a standard solution.

NaHCO\(_3\) + HCI --> NaCI + CO\(_2\) + H\(_2\)O

84g NaHCO\(_3\)  --> 44g CO\(_2\)

Xg --> 10g CO\(_2\)
Xg = \(\frac{84 \times 10}{44}\)

= 19.09g

= 19.1g.

(d) give a reason why a given mass of sodium hydroxide pellets cannot be used to prepare a standard solution: Sodium hydroxide absorbs water/deliquescent and absorbs carbon IV oxide from air/and this would make mass taken unreliable/add to its mass.

(b) Describe briefly what happens when a solution of copper (II) tetraoxosulphate (VI) is electrolyzed using copper electrodes.

c) Calculate the mass of copper deposited at the cathode when a current of 0.2A is passed through a solution of copper (II) tetraoxosulphate (VI) for 35 minutes using copper electrodes. [H = 1.00, O = 16.0, S = 32.0, Cu = 64.0, IF = 96,500C]

(d)(i) State three characteristics of a catalyst.

ii) Name one manufacturing process in which each of the following metals is used as catalyst: I. iron; II. nickel; Ill. platinum.
