(ii) Explain your ansv.er in (d)(i) above.
(iii) State the products formed when ammonia reacts with excess chlorine.
Answer Details
(a) Hardness of water
- (i) Temporary hardness and permanent hardness.
- (ii) Temporary hardness: calcium hydrogen trioxocarbonate (IV), Ca(HCO3)2. Permanent hardness: calcium tetraoxosulphate (VI), CaSO4.
- (iii) Removal of temporary hardness (by boiling):
Ca(HCO3)2(aq) → CaCO3(s) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)
Removal of permanent hardness (by adding washing soda):
CaSO4(aq) + Na2CO3(aq) → CaCO3(s) + Na2SO4(aq) - (iv) Hard water forms an insoluble scum with soap and does not readily form a lather, so it wastes soap.
(b)(i) pH values
- I. Glucose solution: equal to 7.
- II. Chlorine water: less than 7.
- III. Lime water: greater than 7.
- IV. Sour milk: less than 7.
(b)(ii) Differences
- I. An acidic oxide reacts with bases only to form salt and water, while an amphoteric oxide reacts with both acids and bases to form salt and water.
- II. A concentrated acid contains little or no water (a high proportion of acid), while a dilute acid contains a large amount of water (a low proportion of acid).
- III. In a normal salt all the ionizable hydrogen of the acid has been replaced by a metal, while in an acid salt only part of the ionizable hydrogen has been replaced (it still contains replaceable hydrogen).
(c)(i) Mass of FeSO4 from 0.5 mole of Fe
From Fe + H2SO4 → FeSO4 + H2, the mole ratio Fe : FeSO4 is 1 : 1, so moles of FeSO4 = 0.5 mol.
Molar mass of FeSO4 = 56 + 32 + 64 = 152 g mol-1.
Mass = 0.5 × 152 = 76 g.
(c)(ii) Rhombic sulphur and monoclinic sulphur.
(d)(i) The damp starch-iodide paper turns blue-black.
(d)(ii) Chlorine is a stronger oxidizing agent than iodine; it oxidizes the iodide ions on the paper to iodine, and the liberated iodine turns the starch blue-black.
(d)(iii) With excess chlorine, ammonia gives nitrogen trichloride (NCl3) and hydrogen chloride: NH3 + 3Cl2 → NCl3 + 3HCl.
