1 AS Paper 1 Practical Questions Amount of Substance Q1.This question is about reactions of calcium compounds. (a) A pure solid is thought to be calcium hydroxide. The solid can be identified from its relative formula mass. The relative formula mass can be determined experimentally by reacting a measured mass of the pure solid with an excess of hydrochloric acid. The equation for this reaction is Ca(OH) 2 + 2HCl CaCl 2 + 2H 2O The unreacted acid can then be determined by titration with a standard sodium hydroxide solution. You are provided with 50.0 cm 3 of mol dm 3 hydrochloric acid. Outline, giving brief practical details, how you would conduct an experiment to calculate accurately the relative formula mass of the solid using this method. (8) A 3.56 g sample of calcium chloride was dissolved in water and reacted with an excess of sulfuric acid to form a precipitate of calcium sulfate. The percentage yield of calcium sulfate was 83.4%. Calculate the mass of calcium sulfate formed. Give your answer to an appropriate number of significant figures. Page 1
