Question 1 Report
(a)(i) Give the reason why copper turnings dissolve in AgNO\(_3\) solution but remain insoluble in Pb(NO\(_3\) )\(_2\) solution.
(ii) Copper turnings of mass 1.06g were placed in 250 cm\(^3\) of 0.20 mol dm\(^{-3}\) AgNO\(_3\). Calculate the amourt of silver ions present. [Cu = 63.5]
(iii) Determine whether all the copper in (a)(ii) above will discolvo in the solution. The equation for the reaction is CU\(_{(S)}\) + 2Ag\(^+_{(aq)}\) --> Ag\(_{(aq)}\) + Cu\(^{2+}_{(aq)}\)
(b)(i) List cheicil properties of acids
(ii) Give two large scale uses of HNO\(_3\)
(iii) Write an equation for the action of heat on each of the following compounds: I. Pb(NO\(_3\))\(_2\)
Il. AgNO\(_3\).
(c)(i) State what would be observed if a piece of damp blue litmus paper is dropped into a glass jar of chlorine.
(ii) Name the type of reaction which occurs in (c)(i) above.
(iii) Give the property of chlorine which is exhibited in the reaction in (c)(i) above.
(i) Name two products obtained directly from the destructive distillation of coal.
(ii) Give one use of each product named in (d)(i) above.
