Questions (5 marks) 1. Let’s say the %w/w concentrations of CaCO 3 you obtain from trial #1 and #2 in Table 6 are in good agreement. These two trials were performed as described in the lab manual without any problems, that is, you can assume the pressures and temperatures were measured correctly. However, for trial #3, a small leak had occurred. Consider the following 2 scenarios: A. the leak occurred during the reaction of HCl with the standard calcium carbonate, B. the leak occurred during the reaction of HCl with the antacid sample. For both scenarios, assume the initial pressure was measured correctly but the final pressure was not as a result of the leak. Explain, for each scenario, how the average % concentration of CaCO 3 in the antacid tablet would be affected. 3 marks In the scenario A, if there was a small leak during trial #3, the system’s final pressure would drop as a result. This is due to the possibility of a leak allowing some of the CO2, which is created as a reaction between HCl and CaCO3, to exit the system. So the volume of CO2 that we collect would be lower than what is actually produced, which would lead to a decrease in the %w/w of CaCO3, because the denominator in the formula %w/w= (mass of CaCO3/mass of solution)*100 would decrease, causing a decrease overall. In the scenerio B, if there was a small leak during trial #3, we would also observe a decrease in the average % concentration of CaCO3 calculated. Depending on the size of the leak and whether it happenswoth regular

When running the experiment with the unknown antacid, you initialy weigh out the entire antacid pill. Then, while crushing the antacid tablet, you lose approximately 0.1 g of antacid. You know an amount was lost but you have no idea how much. You keep going with the experiment, weighing precisely three portions of antacid, and the rest of the experiment proceeds as written in the lab manual with no issues. Will losing part of the tablet affect your final results to any significant degree? Why or why not? 2 marks Loosing approximately 0.1g of antacid would have an impact on my final results for many different reasons. Firstly, we know that the mass of the tablet is small. So the loss of 0.1g of antacid represents a significant percentage of the mass of the tablet. So the lost mass could affect the accuracy of my future calculations. The goal of the experiment is to obtain reliable and accurate data, which can easily be impacted because of any deviation. If this loss is not consistent across the multiple trials, it could introduce variability in my results. Secondly, we know that the reaction between HCl and the antacid is stoechiometric. The amount of antacid lost can affect the amount of CO2 produced, and so lead to an inaccurate determination of the concentration of CaCO3 in the tablet.
