Quantitative Analysis

 ead through the whole method before starting any practical work. Where appropriate, prepare a table
R
for your results in the space provided.

Show your working and appropriate significant figures in the final answer to each step of your calculations.

1 Many metal hydroxides decompose when heated to produce water vapour and the metal oxide as
residue.

In this experiment, you will heat a metal hydroxide M(OH)2. You will then identify the metal M.

M(OH)2(s) MO(s) + H2O(g)

FB 1 is the hydroxide of a metal in Group 2 of the Periodic Table, M(OH)2.

You are supplied with approximately 2 g of FB 1.

(a) Method

Experiment 1

●  eigh a crucible with its lid and record the mass.

W
● Add between 0.5 and 0.7 g of FB 1 to the crucible. Weigh the crucible with FB 1 and lid
and record the mass.
● Place the crucible on the pipe-clay triangle and remove the lid.
● Heat the crucible and contents strongly for about four minutes.
● Replace the lid and leave the crucible and residue to cool.
● While the crucible is cooling, begin work on a different question.
● Once the crucible is cool, reweigh the crucible and contents with the lid on. Record the
mass.
● Calculate and record the mass of FB 1 used and the mass of residue obtained.

Experiment 2

●  epeat the method used in Experiment 1, using between 0.8 and 1.0 g of FB 1 in the
R
second crucible.

2 In this experiment you will determine the enthalpy change, ΔHr , for the decomposition of calcium
hydroxide to calcium oxide.

Ca(OH)2(s) CaO(s) + H2O(l)

To do this, you will determine the enthalpy changes for the reactions of calcium hydroxide and
calcium oxide with hydrochloric acid. Excess acid will be used for both experiments.

You will then use Hess’ Law to calculate the enthalpy change for the reaction above.

FB 2 is 3.0 mol dm–3 hydrochloric acid, HCl.


FB 3 is calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2.

FB 4 is calcium oxide, CaO.

hydrochloric acid, FB 2.

S
● Weigh the container with FB 3. Record the mass.
● Use the measuring cylinder to transfer 30 cm3 of FB 2 into the 100 cm3 beaker.
● Place the beaker on the tripod and gauze and heat FB 2 gently until its temperature
is between 35 °C and 40 °C. Turn off the Bunsen burner.
● Carefully transfer all FB 2 from the 100 cm3 beaker into the plastic cup.
● Measure and record the temperature of FB 2 in the plastic cup in the space below.
● Immediately add all the FB 3 from the container to the FB 2 in the plastic cup.
● Stir constantly until the maximum temperature is reached.

Qualitative Analysis

Where reagents are selected for use in a test, the name or correct formula of the element or compound
must be given.

At each stage of any test you are to record details of the following:

● colour changes seen;

● the formation of any precipitate and its solubility in an excess of the reagent added;
● the formation of any gas and its identification by a suitable test.

You should indicate clearly at what stage in a test a change occurs.

If any solution is warmed, a boiling tube must be used.

Rinse and reuse test-tubes and boiling tubes where possible.

No additional tests for ions present should be attempted.

3 (a) 
FB 5, FB 6 and FB 7 are all aqueous solutions.
Each solution contains one cation and one anion.
The cation in FB 6 is listed in the Qualitative Analysis Notes, but the other cations are not.
The anions present are chloride, nitrate and sulfate (but not necessarily in that order).

Use a 1 cm depth of each solution in a test-tube for the following tests.
Record all your observations in the table.
