The mineral is purifi ed to concentrate the NaNO3 which is used as a fertiliser and in some fi reworks. In order to fi nd the purity of a sample of sodium nitrate, the compound is heated in NaOH(aq) with Devarda's alloy which contains aluminium. This reduces the sodium nitrate to ammonia which is boiled off and then dissolved in acid. 3NaNO3(aq) + 8Al (s) + 5NaOH(aq) + 18H2O(l) → 3NH3(g) + 8NaAl (OH)4(aq) The ammonia gas produced is dissolved in an excess of H2SO4 of known concentration. 2NH3 + H2SO4 → (NH4)2SO4 The amount of unreacted H2SO4 is then determined by back-titration with NaOH of known concentration. H2SO4 + 2NaOH → Na2SO4 + 2H2O (a) A 1.64 g sample of impure NaNO3 was reacted with an excess of Devarda's alloy. The NH3 produced was dissolved in 25.0 cm3 of 1.00 mol dm–3 H2SO4. When all of the NH3 had dissolved, the resulting solution was titrated with NaOH(aq). For neutralisation, 16.2 cm3 of 2.00 mol dm–3 NaOH were required. (i) Calculate the amount, in moles, of H2SO4 present in the 25.0 cm3 of 1.00 mol dm–3 H2SO4. (ii) Calculate the amount, in moles, of NaOH present in 16.2 cm3 of 2.00 mol dm–3 NaOH. (iii) Use your answer to (ii) to calculate the amount, in moles, of H2SO4 that reacted with 16.2 cm3 of 2.00 mol dm–3 NaOH. (iv) Use your answers to (i) and (iii) to calculate the amount, in moles, of H2SO4 that reacted with the NH3.

CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL EXAMINATIONS GCE Advanced Subsidiary Level and GCE Advanced Level MARK SCHEME for the May/June 2013 series 9701 CHEMISTRY 9701/22 Paper 2 (AS Structured Questions), maximum raw mark 60 This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and candidates, to indicate the requirements of the examination. It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began, which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers. Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the Principal Examiner Report for Teachers. Cambridge will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes. Cambridge is publishing the mark schemes for the May/June 2013 series for most IGCSE, GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level components and some Ordinary Level components.
