Paper 1
Questions are applicable for both core and extended candidates

1 Copper(II) sulfate crystals are blue. They are made by adding an excess of copper(II) oxide
to sulfuric acid.

The mixture is heated and stirred.

The mixture is then filtered and the filtrate is allowed to evaporate, leaving blue crystals.

Why is filtration necessary?

A to remove soluble impurities


B to remove sulfuric acid
C to remove the blue crystals
D to remove unreacted copper(II) oxide

C pipette burette
D pipette thermometer

3 Which piece of apparatus is used to measure exactly 5.00 cm3 of a liquid?

A 5 cm3 beaker
B 10 cm3 measuring cylinder
C 25 cm3 pipette
D 50 cm3 burette
