(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.
(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.
(a)(i) Define the term standard electrode potential.
(ii) State three factors that affect the discharge of ions during electrolysis.
(iii) State two functions of a salt bridge in an electrochemical cell.
(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.
