Revision Exercise 11: Miscellaneous

1 A porcelain boat was weighed. After a sample of the oxide of a metal M, of Ar = 119, was
placed in the boat, the boat was reweighed. Then the boat was placed in a reduction tube,
and heated while a stream of hydrogen was passed over it. The oxide was reduced to the
metal M. The boat was allowed to cool with hydrogen, cooled again and reweighed. The
following results were obtained.

Mass of boat = 6.10g

Mass of boat + metal oxide = 10.63g
Mass of boat + metal (1) = 9.67g
Mass of boat + metal (2) = 9.67g

(a) Explain why hydrogen was passed over the boat while it was cooling.

.................................................................................................................................................

.................................................................................................................................................

(b) Explain why the boat + metal was reheated.

.................................................................................................................................................

.................................................................................................................................................

(c) Find the empirical formula of the metal oxide.

(d) Write an equation for the reaction of the oxide with hydrogen.

2 Ammonium iron (II) sulphate crystals have the following formula: (NH4)2SO4. FeSO4. nH2O.

In an experiment to determine n, 8.492g of the salt were dissolved and made up to 250cm3
of solution with distilled water and dilute sulphuric acid. A 25.0cm3 portion of the solution
was further acidified and titrated against potassium manganate (VII) solution of
concentration 0.0150 mol dm-3. A volume of 22.5cm3 was required. Calculate the value of
n.

3 A piece of iron wire of mass 2.225 g was put into a conical flask containing dilute sulphuric
acid. The flask was fitted with a bug carrying a Bunsen valve, to allow the hydrogen
generated to escape but prevent air from entering. The mixture was warmed to speed up
reaction. When all the iron had reacted, the solution was cooled to room temperature and
made up to 250 cm3 in a gradulated flask. With all these precautions, iron is converted to
Fe2+ions only, and no Fe3+ ions are firmed. 25.0 cm3 of the solution were acidified and
titrated against a 0.0185 mol dm-3 solution of potassium dichromate (VI). The volume
required was 31.0 cm3. Calculate the percentage of iron in the iron wire.

4 Chlorine displaces iodine from iodides. The iodine formed can be found by titration with a
standard thiosulphate solution. Chlorate (I) solutions are often used as a source of chlorine
as they liberate chlorine readily on reaction with acid:

ClO- (aq) + 2H+ (aq) + Cl- (aq) → Cl2 (aq) + H2O (l)

The amount of chlorine available in a domestic bleach which contains sodium chlorate (I)
can be found by allowing the bleach to react with an iodide solution to form iodine, and then
titrating with thiosulphate solution:

ClO- (aq) + 2H+ (aq) + 2l- (aq) → l2 (aq) + Cl- (aq) + H2O (l)

A domestic bleach in solution is diluted by pipetting 10.0 cm3 and making this volume up to
250 cm3. A 25.0 cm3 portion of the solution is added to an excess of potassium iodide and
ethanoic acid and titrated against sodium thiosulphate solution of concentration 0.0950 mol
dm-3, using starch as an indicator. The volume required is 21.3 cm3. Calculate the
percentage of available chlorine in the bleach.

5 The problem is to find the percentage of iron that had rusted in a sample of rusty iron. A
few grams of the rusty iron were completely dissolved in 1.00 ddm3 sulphuric acid. Iron
reacted to form Fe2+ ions and rust reacted to form Fe3+ ions. A 25.0 cm3 sample of the
solution was titrated with 0.0200 mol dm-3 aqueous potassium manganate (VII). It took 27.2
cm3 for complete reaction. Zinc was added to the remaining acidic solution to reduce
Fe3+(aq) to Fe 2+ (aq). A 25.0 cm3 sample of this solution now took 29.0 cm3 of the same
potassium manganate (VII) solution for titration.

6(a) The ammonium ion content of fertilizers can be found by heating the fertilizer with sodium
hydroxide and passing the ammonia produced into an excess of hydrochloric acid.

(i) Write an equation for the reaction between ammonium sulphate and sodium hydroxide.

.................................................................................................................................................

(ii) 3.00 g of a fertiliser mixture containing ammonium sulphate was made up to 250 cm3 of
solution. 25.0 cm3 portions of this were added to an excess of sodium hydroxide solution,
and the ammonia produced passed into 50.0 cm3 of 0.100 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid
solution. The residual acid was then titrated with 0.100 mol dm-3 sodium hydroxide solution,
25.4 cm3 being required. Find the percentage by mass of ammonium sulphate in the
fertiliser mixture.

(b) Some of the nitrogen content of a fertiliser could be present as nitrate ions, which are not
detected by sodium hydroxide solution. Nitrate ions can be reduced to ammonia by the use
of aluminium in sodium hydroxide solution.

(i) Complete the half equation below for the reduction of nitrate ions:

containing species present at the end of the reaction.
