Solution

(a) (i) Two observations that the student could have made are:

  1. The iron would start to dissolve in the sulfuric acid.
  2. The solution would start to bubble or fizz, indicating the release of a gas.

(iii) The word equation for this reaction is: Iron + sulfuric acid → Iron sulfate + Hydrogen

(b) The balanced equation for the complete combustion of hydrogen is: 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O

(c) (i) The chemical test involves adding a few drops of the liquid to a sample of anhydrous copper(II) sulfate. The colour change observed would be: Initial colour: White Final colour: Blue

(ii) The formula of the compound formed in this chemical test is: D CuSO4 . 5H2O

(iii) A suitable physical property to measure would be boiling point, and the value for pure water is 100 degrees Celsius.

(c) (i) The property of hydrogen that makes it suitable for filling balloons is its low density.

(iii) The property of helium that makes it more suitable than hydrogen for filling balloons is that it is non-flammable.

(d) The equation to show the process that occurs when hydrogen is liquefied is: H2(g) → H2(l)

Ammonium chloride contains oppositely charged ions

(a) The formula of each ion is: Positive ion: NH4+ Negative ion: Cl-

(b) (i) A chemical test to show that a substance contains ammonium ions is to heat the substance with sodium hydroxide solution. If ammonium ions are present, ammonia gas will be released, which can be detected by its characteristic pungent smell.

(ii) A chemical test to show that a substance contains chloride ions is to add silver nitrate solution. If chloride ions are present, a white precipitate of silver chloride will form.

(c) The ⇄ symbol in the equation NH4CI(s) ⇄ NH3(g) + HCI(g) indicates that the reaction is reversible, meaning it can proceed in both the forward and reverse directions.

(d) (i) The white solid that appears inside the tube is ammonium chloride.

(ii) The diagram shows that the ammonia molecules move faster than the hydrogen chloride molecules, as the white ring of ammonium chloride forms closer to the hydrogen chloride end of the tube.

(e) The main hazard when using concentrated hydrochloric acid in the experiment is that it is corrosive and can cause burns. A precaution to minimise this hazard is to wear protective clothing, including gloves and safety goggles.
