The concentration of tin in a sample of mussel tissue is 0.0064 ± 0.0002 mg Sn g−1. (i) Calculate the mass of tin, in mg, in 2.416 g of the sample. (ii) Calculate the percentage uncertainty of the concentration.
Suggest two variables that should be controlled when mussels are collected and their soft tissue is sampled.
Suggest why it is important that hydrogen gas flows through the tube (i) before heating begins, (ii) from the end of heating until the product has cooled.
(i) State which two further mass measurements are needed to find the oxide composition. (ii) Outline how these measurements give the mass of oxygen removed from the sample.
Suggest why the amount of oxygen per mole of iron calculated from the results is often lower than the true value, and how this error could be reduced.
Chromium(III) oxide, Cr2O3, is a hard ceramic used as an abrasive and as a wear-resistant coating. Outline the bonding in chromium(III) oxide and its electrical conductivity in the solid state. Use sections 9 and 17 of the data booklet.
A conductivity probe is used to follow the concentration of sodium chloride in dilute aqueous solutions. A solution of concentration 0.015 mol dm−3 gives a conductivity of 1.8 mS cm−1. On the axes, draw a graph of conductivity…
(i) Bronze, an alloy of copper and tin, is used for ship propellers and bearings. Explain, by referring to its structure, why bronze is less malleable than pure copper. (ii) In a separate process, zinc is removed from a copper-zinc alloy by reaction with…
A simplified overall process produces the ester C5H10O2 as the desired product: 2 C3H5ClO + 2 C2H6O + Ca(OH)2 → 2 C5H10O2 + CaCl2 + 2 H2O The molar masses of C3H5ClO, C2H6O, Ca(OH)2 and C5H10O2 are respectively 92.52,…
Beeswax contains esters that form when long-chain carboxylic acids react with long-chain alcohols. State the name of this type of reaction.
Fructose, C6H12O6, exists mainly as a ring, but a small proportion of the molecules in solution are in the straight-chain form shown. State the names of the functional groups present in the straight-chain form of fructose.
Petrol (gasoline) is a mixture of hydrocarbons and can be blended with bioethanol. The carbon footprint of a fuel can be expressed as the mass of carbon dioxide, in kg, produced per kg of fuel burned. Calculate the carbon footprint of heptane, C7H16, in…
Petrol (gasoline) is a mixture of hydrocarbons and can be blended with bioethanol. The carbon footprint of a fuel can be expressed as the mass of carbon dioxide, in kg, produced per kg of fuel burned. State a reason why replacing part of the petrol with…
Ethyl 4-hydroxybenzoate is a preservative used in some oral medicines. It was synthesized by heating 0.745 g of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid with excess ethanol and a few drops of concentrated sulfuric acid as catalyst. C7H6O3 + C2H6O ⇌ C9H10O3 + H2O Mr…
Some antacid tablets contain aluminium hydroxide. Write an equation for the neutralization reaction between aluminium hydroxide and stomach acid (hydrochloric acid).
