Exercise 5.
3B (p95–96)
1 Add zinc to nitric acid.
2 Zn + nitric acid → zinc nitrate + H₂
3 Silver too unreactive.
4 Potassium too reactive.
5a Prevent boiling/splashing.
5b CuO + H₂SO₄ → CuSO₄ + H₂O
p96 continued
6a Mg + HNO₃ → Mg(NO₃)₂ + H₂
6b CuO + HNO₃ → Cu(NO₃)₂ + H₂O
6c Zn + HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂
6d Zn + H₂SO₄ → ZnSO₄ + H₂
Exercise 5.3C (p96–97)
1 Copper too unreactive for dilute H₂SO₄.
2 Steps: Warm acid → Add CuO till no more dissolves → Filter → Evaporate filtrate → Crystals.
Exercise 5.4A (p98–99)
1 Fizzing; CO₂ forms.
2 Excess copper carbonate left.
3 Forms copper chloride solution.
4 Evaporate gently → crystals.
5 CO₂ can cause spill.
6 Add CuCO₃ slowly.
7 CuCO₃ + HCl → CuCl₂ + H₂O + CO₂
Exercise 5.4B (p99)
1 HCl.
2 Beaker, flask, pipette, indicator, stirrer.
3 Add acid slowly to KOH; stop at neutral; goggles.
4 Indicator → green.
5 Add carbon → filter.
6 Acid + alkali → salt + water; KOH + HCl → KCl + H₂O
7 KOH + HCl → KCl + H₂O
Exercise 5.4C Mystery Substances (p100–101)
1 A makes CO₂.
2 C makes H₂.
3 They are salts.
4 Liquid for A = acid.
5 Liquid for B = acid (no reaction).
6 Liquid for C = acid (H₂ produced).
7 A = carbonate; B = unreactive salt; C = metal (Mg).
8 B = NaCl (example).
9 C = Mg (reactive metal).
10 Carbonate + acid → salt + water + CO₂
11 Metal + acid → salt + H₂
12 Metal oxide + acid → salt + water
Exercise 5.5A (p102–103) 1 –
2b Salt = MgCl₂
3a H: 2=2, Cl: 2=2
3b Yes, same Mg atoms.
4a –
P103–104 5 Mass = 15 g.
6 Mass same (closed container).
Exercise 5.5B (p106) 1 Reactants/products contain: Ca, Cl, H, O, C.
2 S + O₂ → SO₂ (1 S joined to 2 O).
3a MgCO₃ contains Mg, C, O.
3b CO₂ = C + O.
3c H in water from HCl.
3d Cl in MgCl₂ from HCl.
4 Reactants mass = 45 g.
5 Mg in MgSO₄ = 25 g.
6 Mass conserved = reactants = products.
7 100 g + 150 g = 250 g.
P107 8 Zn + H₂SO₄ → ZnSO₄ + H₂
9a No mistake.
9b Gas escaped → 247 g not 250 g.
10 Repeat, check apparatus, compare.
Exercise 5.5C (p108–109)
1 Control: O₂ amount; Mg ribbon size; container; heating time.
2 Mg + O₂ → MgO
3 –
4 Conclusion: Mass ↑ until O₂ used up.
5 O₂ finished → no more reaction.
6a Problems: Low O₂, heat loss, incomplete burn, mass loss removing lid.
6b Safety: Goggles; avoid bright flame; handle hot items carefully.
