I)

  1. Solid E reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid to produce Solution F and a colourless gas G.

    Solution F is later shown to contain copper(II) ions. If Solid E is copper(II) carbonate, it reacts with hydrochloric acid to form copper(II) chloride (Solution F), water, and carbon dioxide gas (colourless gas G).

    CuCO3(s)+2HCl(aq)→CuCl2(aq)+H2O(l)+CO2(g)\text{CuCO}_3\text{(s)} + \text{2HCl(aq)} \rightarrow \text{CuCl}_2\text{(aq)} + \text{H}_2\text{O(l)} + \text{CO}_2\text{(g)}

    Therefore, solid E is copper(II) carbonate.

    • Solid E: Copper(II) carbonate\boxed{\text{Copper(II) carbonate}}

    II)

  2. From the reaction in Step 1, the colourless gas G produced is carbon dioxide.

    • Gas G: Carbon dioxide\boxed{\text{Carbon dioxide}}

    III)

  3. Solution H is the deep blue solution formed when the blue precipitate (copper(II) hydroxide) reacts with excess aqueous ammonia.

    This deep blue solution contains the tetraamminecopper(II) complex ion.

    Cu(OH)2(s)+4NH3(aq)→[Cu(NH3)4]2+(aq)+2OH−(aq)\text{Cu(OH)}_2\text{(s)} + \text{4NH}_3\text{(aq)} \rightarrow \text{[Cu(NH}_3)_4]^{2+}\text{(aq)} + \text{2OH}^{-}\text{(aq)}

    The formula of the compound (ion) in solution H is [Cu(NH3)4]2+\text{[Cu(NH}_3)_4]^{2+}.

    • Formula of the compound in solution H: [Cu(NH3)4]2+\boxed{\text{[Cu(NH}_3)_4]^{2+}}

    IV)

  4. The reaction in Step II involves Solution F (containing Cu2+(aq)\text{Cu}^{2+}\text{(aq)} ions) reacting with 3 drops of aqueous ammonia to form a blue precipitate, which is copper(II) hydroxide, Cu(OH)2(s)\text{Cu(OH)}_2\text{(s)}.

    Aqueous ammonia provides hydroxide ions.

    • Ionic equation for the reaction in Step II: Cu2+(aq)+2NH3(aq)+2H2O(l)→Cu(OH)2(s)+2NH4+(aq)\boxed{\text{Cu}^{2+}\text{(aq)} + \text{2NH}_3\text{(aq)} + \text{2H}_2\text{O(l)} \rightarrow \text{Cu(OH)}_2\text{(s)} + \text{2NH}_4^{+}\text{(aq)}}
