ChemForm4Term1OpPP2Q7

  1. Name Liquids A and B
  2. Solid D can be anhydrous calcium chloride. Suggest another suitable reagent that can be used in place of anhydrous calcium chloride. 
  3. State the role of D suggested in (ii) above.
  4. write a balanced equation for the reaction in the conical flask . 
  5. Explain why solid C collects further away from the heated aluminum metal. 
  6. In the combustion tube above 0.675g of aluminum metal reacted completely with 1800cm3 of chlorine gas at room temperature. Determine the molecular formula of solid C given that its relative formula mass is 267. (Al = 27, Cl = 35.5, Molar gas volume at r.t.p. = 24.0 litres)

  1.   
    1. - Concentrated hydrochloric acid
    2. - water
  2. Calcium oxide/CaO  
  3. to absorb unreacted/excess chlorine
  4. 2KMnO4(S)+ 16HCl (aq)  → 2KCl (aq)+ 2MnCl(aq) + 8H2O(l) + 5Cl2(g)
  5. Solid C sublimes hence collects on the cooler place away from heating
  6. Elements present Al  Cl2
    MAss/Volume
    R.A.M/M.G.V
    No of moles
    Mole ratio
     

    0.675
    27
    0.675/27 = 0.025
    0.025/0.025= 1
    EF=AlCl3     

    1800cm3
    24000cm3
    1800/24000= 0.075 
    0.075/0.025 = 3 

    (AlCl3)n=267 
    (27 + 35.5 x 3)n = 267
    n = 267/133.5 = 2
    M.F. = (AlCl3)2 = Al2Cl6
