Answer all questions in the spaces provided.

1. Water and steam reacts with a list of metals in the following way.

Experiment A Metal Reactions

Zinc Silvery metal became Gas X produced a
yellow when hot and ‘pop’ sound with a
white when cold lighted splinter

Copper Brownish red metal Gas collected did not

remained unchanged produce a ‘pop’ sound
with a lighted splinter.

A steady stream of steam is passed over heated metal powder, zinc. The zinc
glows and the resulting powder after the reaction is yellow when hot and white
when cold. The gas, X collected extinguishes a lighted splint with a ‘pop’
sound.

The experiment is repeated using copper and the result is shown in the
above table.

(a) Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction of zinc and
steam.

4. MA 2 is a solution containing both potassium hydroxide and sodium
hydroxide. The concentration of sodium hydroxide is 2.40 g/dm3 but the
concentration of potassium hydroxide is unknown.

A student was asked to determine the concentration of the potassium

hydroxide in the solution by titrating it with 20.0 cm3 of MA1, a dilute
acid solution containing 7.30 g/dm3 of hydrogen chloride.

His results are as follows:

Titration number 1 2
Final burette reading/ cm3 24.0 23.0
Initial burette reading/ cm3 4.5 3.5
Volume of MA 2 used/ cm3

(a) Complete the table to show the volume of MA 2 used in both titration.

(b) Calculate the number of moles of hydrogen chloride in 1 dm3 of MA 1.

(e) Calculate the number of moles of hydroxide ions due to the potassium
hydroxide in 1 dm3 of MA 2.
