Question
The student is provided with the carbonate of an unknown metal, X,CO3.
The student measures the mass loss when the X,CO, is reacted with an excess of
hydrochloric acid. The equation is shown below.
X,CO3(s) + 2HCI(aq)
2XC((aq) + CO2(9) + H,O(1)
The reaction is carried out using this method:
Step 1
Add 100 cm3 HC(aq) to a conical flask and weigh.
Step 2
Add X,CO, to the conical flask and immediately reweigh.
Step 3
After 5 minutes, reweigh the conical flask and contents.
Results
Mass of conical flask + HC((aq)
172.93g
Mass of conical flask + X,CO, + HCI(aq) before reaction
187.50 g
Mass of conical flask + contents after 5 minutes
184.75g
(i) Calculate the amount, in mol, of CO, released in the reaction.
