Step-by-step solution

14 steps

a) Name a single reagent that could be used to distinguish between each of the following pairs of solutions:

a) (i) Na2CO3(aq)\text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3(\text{aq}) and Na2SO4(aq)\text{Na}_2\text{SO}_4(\text{aq})

  1. Carbonates react with acids to produce carbon dioxide gas, while sulfates do not.

  2. Add dilute hydrochloric acid.

    Na2CO3\text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3 will produce effervescence, while Na2SO4\text{Na}_2\text{SO}_4 will not.
    Reagent: Dilute hydrochloric acid\boxed{\text{Dilute hydrochloric acid}}

    a) (ii) KNO3(aq)\text{KNO}_3(\text{aq}) and KCl(aq)\text{KCl}(\text{aq})

  3. Chloride ions form a precipitate with silver ions, while nitrate ions do not.

  4. Add silver nitrate solution.

    KCl\text{KCl} will form a white precipitate of silver chloride, while KNO3\text{KNO}_3 will show no reaction.
    Reagent: Silver nitrate solution\boxed{\text{Silver nitrate solution}}

    a) (iii) Al2(SO4)3(aq)\text{Al}_2(\text{SO}_4)_3(\text{aq}) and K2SO4(aq)\text{K}_2\text{SO}_4(\text{aq})

  5. Aluminium ions form a white gelatinous precipitate with aqueous ammonia, while potassium ions do not.

  6. Add aqueous ammonia.

    Al2(SO4)3\text{Al}_2(\text{SO}_4)_3 will form a white gelatinous precipitate, while K2SO4\text{K}_2\text{SO}_4 will show no reaction.
    Reagent: Aqueous ammonia\boxed{\text{Aqueous ammonia}}

    a) (iv) Ca(NO3)2(aq)\text{Ca}(\text{NO}_3)_2(\text{aq}) and Cu(NO3)2(aq)\text{Cu}(\text{NO}_3)_2(\text{aq})

  7. Copper(II) ions form a blue precipitate with hydroxide ions, while calcium ions form a white precipitate.

  8. Add sodium hydroxide solution.

    Cu(NO3)2\text{Cu}(\text{NO}_3)_2 will form a blue precipitate, while Ca(NO3)2\text{Ca}(\text{NO}_3)_2 will form a white precipitate.
    Reagent: Sodium hydroxide solution\boxed{\text{Sodium hydroxide solution}}

    b) Name the indicator most suitable for the titration of each of the following pairs of solutions:

    b) (i) CH3COOH(aq)\text{CH}_3\text{COOH}(\text{aq}) and NaOH(aq)\text{NaOH}(\text{aq})

  9. This is a titration between a weak acid (CH3COOH\text{CH}_3\text{COOH}) and a strong base (NaOH\text{NaOH}).

  10. The equivalence point for this titration is in the basic pH range.

    Indicator: Phenolphthalein\boxed{\text{Phenolphthalein}}

    b) (ii) HNO3(aq)\text{HNO}_3(\text{aq}) and NH3(aq)\text{NH}_3(\text{aq})

  11. This is a titration between a strong acid (HNO3\text{HNO}_3) and a weak base (NH3\text{NH}_3).

  12. The equivalence point for this titration is in the acidic pH range.

    Indicator: Methyl orange\boxed{\text{Methyl orange}}

    c) Name two pieces of apparatus that are used in a titration experiment.

  13. Titration requires precise measurement and dispensing of solutions.

  14. The burette is used to dispense the titrant, and the pipette is used to measure a precise volume of the analyte.

    Apparatus:

    1. Burette\boxed{\text{Burette}}
    2. Pipette\boxed{\text{Pipette}}
