2 9701/3/M/J/02 1 FA 1 is a metal carbonate, XCO3. FA 2 is 2.00 mol dm–3 hydrochloric acid, HCl. The carbonate and acid react according to the following equation. XCO3(s) + 2HCl (aq) →XCl2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l) The enthalpy change, ∆H, for this reaction is –59.5 kJ mol–1. You are required to determine the temperature rise when a known mass of the solid carbonate, XCO3, is added to an excess of hydrochloric acid and to use your results to calculate the relative atomic mass, Ar, of the metal X. Experiment 1 (a) Weigh the weighing bottle. Add between 3.30 g and 3.50 g of FA 1 to the weighing bottle and accurately weigh the bottle and contents. Record this mass in Table 1.1 below. (b) Place the plastic cup inside a 250 cm3 beaker. Using the measuring cylinder provided add 50.0 cm3 of hydrochloric acid, FA 2, to the plastic cup. Measure the initial temperature of the acid in the cup and record this in Table 1.2 at the top of page 3. Empty the contents of the weighing bottle into the acid and stir gently with the thermometer. Record the maximum temperature achieved when the solid has reacted with the acid in Table 1.2 at the top of page 3. Reweigh the empty bottle, which may contain some residual FA 1 and record this value in Table 1.1 below. Experiment 2 (c) Repeat parts (a) and (b) using a clean dry plastic cup, fresh FA 1 and fresh FA 2. Table 1.1 Mass of FA 1. [2] (d) Calculate the average of the two masses of FA 1 used in Experiment 1 and Experiment 2. For Examiner’s Use Expt 1 Expt 2 Mass of weighing bottle + FA 1 / g Mass of weighing bottle + residual FA 1 / g Mass of FA 1 added to acid / g

(f) Using the average temperature rise from (e) calculate the amount of heat produced by the reaction in the plastic cup. (Assume that 4.3 J are required to raise the temperature of 1.0 cm3 of the solution by 1.0 °C) [1] (g) Using your answer to (f) and the ∆H value for the reaction calculate how many moles of FA 1 have reacted. [1] (h) Using the average mass of FA 1 calculated in (d) and your answer to (g) calculate the relative atomic mass, Ar, of the metal X.

In all tests, the reagent should be added gradually until no further change is observed, with shaking after each addition. Record your observations and the deductions you make from them in the spaces provided. Your answers should include • details of colour changes and precipitates formed, • the names of gases evolved and details of the test used to identify each one. You should indicate clearly at what stage in a test a change occurs, writing any deductions you make alongside the observations on which they are based. Marks are not given for chemical equations. No additional or confirmatory tests for ions present should be attempted. Candidates are reminded that definite deductions may be made from tests where there appears to be no reaction. Test Observations [5] Deductions [4] (a) Place 4 cm depth of FA 3 in a boiling- tube and add the contents of the tube labelled sodium carbonate (b) Place 1 cm depth of FA 3 in a test-tube and add an equal depth of dilute nitric acid.

Give one mark if the mass of FA 1 in each experiment is between 3.20g and 3.50 g. (Do not give this mark if there is any error in subtraction or weighings are in the wrong place in the table) If the Candidate weighs to 3 decimal places the subtraction must afso be correct to 3 decimal places. Table 1.2 Give one mark if all initial and fina! temperatures are recorded to 1 decimat place or better. {Do not give this mark if there is an error in subtraction or temperatures are in the wrong place in the table).
