FB 5 contains one cation and one anion from those listed in the Qualitative Analysis Notes.
- (a)(i)Transfer a small spatula measure of FB 5 into a hard-glass test-tube. Heat gently at first and then heat strongly, until no further change occurs. Record all your observations.[3]
- (a)(ii)To a 1 cm depth of dilute hydrochloric acid in a test-tube, add a small spatula measure of FB 5. Record your observations.[2]
- (a)(iii)Deduce the formula of FB 5.[1]
- (b)(i)FB 6 is a solution of a compound containing one cation from those listed in the Qualitative Analysis Notes. Carry out the following tests using a 1 cm depth of FB 6 in a test-tube for each test. | test | observations | |-------------------------------------------|--------------| | Add two drops of Universal Indicator solution. | | | Add an equal volume of aqueous manganese(II) chloride. | | | Add an equal volume of dilute sulfuric acid. | | | Add a few drops of aqueous silver nitrate, then | | | add aqueous ammonia. | | | Add a few drops of aqueous copper(II) sulfate, then | | | add excess dilute hydrochloric acid. | |[4]
- (b)(ii)What can be determined about FB 6 from its reaction with manganese(II) chloride?[1]
- (b)(iii)Give the ionic equation for the reaction between FB 6 and sulfuric acid. Include state symbols.[1]
- (b)(iv)When aqueous copper(II) sulfate was added to FB 6, two precipitates were formed. Deduce the identity of the two precipitates. ...................... and ...................... Explain the observation you made when you added excess dilute hydrochloric acid in the final test of (b)(i).[2]
Mark scheme
Marking points from the official mark scheme (May/June 2019). The mark or mark type is shown in brackets.
- [1] 3(a)(i) Observations when heating FB 5:
- [2] 3(a)(i) Any of the following score one mark each:
- [1] 3(a)(ii) Both observations required for first mark
- [1] 3(a)(ii) Gas tested: gas / carbon dioxide turns lime water milky / cloudy white / white ppt / chalky
- [1] 3(a)(iii) (NH4)2CO3
- [4] 3(b)(i) Award one mark for every two correct observations (*)
- [1] 3(b)(ii) From Mn2+ test, it is a reducing agent / Fe2+ / SO32- / I- / Cl-
- [1] 3(b)(iii) Fe2+(aq) + SO42-(aq) -> FeSO4(s) OR Ba2+(aq) + SO42-(aq) -> BaSO4(s) / Sr2+(aq) + SO42-(aq) -> SrSO4(s)
- [1] 3(b)(iv) precipitate identity: Fe(OH)2 / Cu(OH)2 AND CuO / CuCO3 / Cu2(OH)2CO3 / CuS / CuX (where X is anion of FB6)
- [1] 3(b)(iv) Explanation: precipitate dissolves / reacts
