A 0.4 B 0.6 C 2.5 D 7.5 (Total mark) 2 A student carried out an experiment to find the mass of FeSO 4.7H 2 O in an impure sample, X. The student recorded the mass of X. This sample was dissolved in water and made up to 250 cm 3 of solution. The student found that, after an excess of acid had been added, 25.0 cm 3 of this solution reacted with 2.3 cm 3 of a 0.050 mol dm 3 solution of K 2 Cr 2 O 7 (a) Use this information to calculate a value for the mass of FeSO 4.7H 2 O in the sample of X. (5) Page 2 of 7
(b) The student found that the calculated mass of FeSO 4.7H 2 O was greater than the actual mass of the sample that had been weighed out. The student realised that this could be due to the nature of the impurity. Suggest one property of an impurity that would cause the calculated mass of FeSO 4.7H 2 O in X to be greater than the actual mass of X. Explain your answer.
