Informacja do zadań 1a-1c.
A student investigated the reaction between aqueous nitric acid, HNO3, and solid magnesium carbonate, MgCO3, using two different methods to follow its rate.
In Method 1, a conical flask containing the aqueous acid stood on a balance and the mass reading was recorded at regular intervals while the gas escaped from the open flask. In Method 2, the flask was closed with a stopper carrying a delivery tube; the gas passed through the tube into an inverted measuring cylinder filled with water and standing in a trough of water, and the volume of gas collected was recorded at regular intervals.
Polecenie
(i) Write a balanced equation for the reaction, including state symbols.
(ii) Deduce what property of this reaction makes it possible to follow its rate by both methods.
(iii) Magnesium carbonate was used in excess so that all of the acid would react. Calculate the minimum mass of MgCO3, in g, that is needed to react completely with 25.0 cm3 of 0.20 mol dm−3 HNO3. Use section 7 of the data booklet.

(i) MgCO3(s) + 2 HNO3(aq) → Mg(NO3)2(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g) «correct species and balancing» ✔
correct state symbols ✔
OR
MgCO3(s) + 2 H+(aq) → Mg2+(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g) «ionic equation, acceptable for both marks»
(ii) a gas / carbon dioxide is released «from the reaction mixture» ✔
(iii) n(HNO3) = «0.0250 × 0.20 =» 5.0 × 10−3 «mol» ✔
« mol; M(MgCO3) = 24.31 + 12.01 + 3(16.00) = 84.32 g mol−1»
m(MgCO3) = «2.5 × 10⁻³ × 84.32 =» 0.21 «g» ✔
Schemat punktowania
(i) [2]: M1 correct formulae and balancing (accept the ionic equation); do not award M1 for H2CO3 as a product. M2 correct state symbols. (ii) [1] for release or formation of a gas / carbon dioxide; accept loss of mass AND release of gas. (iii) [2]: M1 amount of acid 5.0 × 10⁻³ mol; M2 mass of carbonate from the 1 : 2 mole ratio. Award [2] for the correct final answer. Award [1] for 0.42 g, which comes from using a 1 : 1 ratio.
Komentarz
The mole ratio of carbonate to acid is read from the balanced equation in (i): one mole of MgCO3 reacts with two moles of acid.
