1 FB 1 is zinc powder, Zn.

FB 2 is 0.8 mol dm–3 copper sulphate, CuSO4.

You are required to determine the temperature and enthalpy changes for the following
reaction.

Zn(s) + CuSO4(aq) → Cu(s) + ZnSO4(aq)

(a) Accurately weigh, to two decimal places, an empty weighing bottle. Place between
2.90 g and 3.00 g of FB 1, zinc powder, into the weighing bottle. Record your
weighings in Table 1.1 below. If your balance has a Tare facility, do not use it.

Table 1.1 – Weighing of FB 1

mass of empty weighing bottle /g

mass of weighing bottle + FB 1 /g

mass of weighing bottle + residual FB 1 /g

mass of FB 1 placed in plastic cup /g

[2]

(b) Place the plastic cup in the 250 cm3 beaker provided and pipette 25.0 cm3 of FB 2 into
the plastic cup.

Stir gently with the thermometer and take the temperature of the solution every half
minute for 21/2 minutes. Record the temperature readings in Table 1.2 overleaf on page 4.

At exactly 3 minutes, add the FB 1 from the weighing bottle to the plastic cup.

Do not try to read the temperature at 3 minutes.

Stir the mixture thoroughly, and continue to stir and record the temperature every half
minute from 31/2 minutes to 15 minutes.

(c) Reweigh the weighing bottle and any residual zinc powder and record the mass in
Table 1.1 above.

(d) Plot a graph of temperature against time on the grid opposite. [3]

(e) Extrapolate the cooling section of your graph back to time = 3 minutes and read the
corresponding temperature.

2 ASSESSMENT OF PLANNING SKILLS

Lithium is an alkali metal – one of a group of very reactive metals which

are stored under oil to prevent contact with air and water vapour.
The reaction of lithium with water can be represented by the equation
below.
2Li(s) + 2H2O(l) → 2LiOH(aq) + H2(g)

(a) In the space below, draw a diagram that clearly shows the apparatus you could use to:

● react a weighed amount of lithium metal with water,

● collect the hydrogen gas produced,
● measure the volume of gas produced.

[2]

(b) What would you have to do before weighing lithium?

.................................................................................................................................... [1]

(c) Suggest and give a reason for one safety measure, related to the chemicals used or
produced, that you would have to employ in conducting this experiment.

(d) If 0.0583 g of lithium produces 100 cm3 of hydrogen gas at room temperature and
pressure show that the relative atomic mass, Ar, of lithium is approximately 7.
[Vm = 24 dm3 mol–1 under room conditions]

[3]

(e) Give two reasons why the value of Ar calculated in (d) is approximate.

(f) Using the aqueous lithium hydroxide remaining after the reaction, it is possible to
obtain an ‘accurate’ value of Ar for lithium. What practical technique could be used to
obtain this value?
