Revision Sheet
1. A student carries out an experiment to test if at 25 the concentration of acid affects how fast it reacts
with a known mass of calcium. The student was given concentrated acid and water.
What pieces of apparatus does the student need to use?
The student needs the following apparatus:
1) a beaker:
as a container
2) a stop watch:
to measure how fast is the reaction
3) a thermometer:
to measure the temperature of the experiment
4) a measuring cylinder:
to measure to volume of the acid
2. Consider the following reaction, at 490C, (Keq = 45.9)

2HI(g)
H2(g)
+ I2(g)

At a certain instant in a reaction, the container is maintained at 490C, the following concentrations were
determined:
[HI] = 0.01 mole/dm3
[H2] = 0.005 mole/dm3
[I2] = 0.004 mole/dm3
a) Is the system at equilibrium? If not, which concentrations are increasing and which are decreasing?
b) If not, which concentrations are increasing and which are decreasing?
[HI]2
(0.01)2
Q=
=
= 5 system not at equilibrium since Q K
[H 2 ] [I 2 ] (0.005)(0.004)
Since Q < K, the reaction goes to the right, forming more HI thus reducing the concentration of H2
and I2.
3. Given: Fe+3(aq) + SCN(aq)
FeSCN+2(aq)
The reactants and products in the above reaction are at equilibrium. What would happen to the [SCN(aq)]
and [FeSCN+2(aq)] respectively if Fe+3(aq) is removed by adding phosphate ions?
Removing Fe3+ means decreasing the concentration of [Fe3+]. The system wants to increase the
[Fe3+]. To do so the equilibrium shifts to the left consuming the FeSCN2+ while producing Fe+3
and SCN-. Therefore, the [SCN-] increases and [FeSCN+2] decreases.

14. Some calcium iodide is dissolved in water. Aqueous silver nitrate is added to the solution till no more
precipitate forms. This precipitate, named W is filtered off. Dilute sulfuric acid is added to the filtrate
and another precipitate Z is formed. Identify precipitates W and Z and state their colors?
Precipitate W is silver iodide, AgI, that is yellow in color
Precipitate Z is calcium sulfate, CaSO4, that is white in color
15. The oxide of element Z was added to hydrochloric acid. A reaction occurred and salt and water are
formed. What type of element is Z? What was the pH of the solution initially?

The oxide reacted with the acid so it must be a basic oxide. This means Z is a metal. Most metal
oxides are basic, that react with acids producing salt and water. The pH of the solution initially
must be less than 7.
