1 Aqueous sodium chloride can be prepared by titrating aqueous sodium hydroxide with dilute
hydrochloric acid. The equation for this reaction is shown below.
NaOH (aq) + HCl (aq) --> NaCl (aq) + H2O (l)
i. name the two pieces of apparatus used to measure accurately the volumes of the solutions in
this titration
ii. name a suitable indicator for this titration. give the expected color change of this indicator.
iii. explain the meaning of the symbols (aq) and (l) in this equation

2. Instructions for preparing hydrated crystals of magnesium sulphate are given below.
Add one spatula full of magnesium carbonate to 50 cm3 of dilute sulphuric acid. When it has
reacted, add further amounts until no more will dissolve. Then filter the mixture. Evaporate the
filtrate to about half its volume. Allow the filtrate to cool. Filter off the crystals. Dry them on filter
paper. Do not heat the crystals.
b. because it has a larger surface area, powdered magnesium carbonate reacts more rapidly then
lumps of magnesium carbonate. Explain why the larger surface area leads to a greater rate of
reaction.
c. name the gas evolved in this reaction and give a test for the gas
d. name three substances, other than magnesium carbonate, which react with dilute sulphuric
acid to form magnesium sulphate

A student heated some solid ammonium chloride, NH4Cl in a test-tube. Ammonia and one other
gas were formed. He tested the gases coming out of the tube with litmus paper.
