  3. 3.

    25.0 cm^3 of H2SO4 is neutralised by 30.0 cm^3 of 0.200 mol dm^-3 NaOH. Calculate the acid concentration; H2SO4 + 2NaOH -> Na2SO4 + 2H2O.

  4. 4.

    A 20.00 cm^3 titre comes from two burette readings, each with absolute uncertainty +/-0.05 cm^3. Calculate the worst-case percentage uncertainty in the titre.

  5. 5.

    10.0 g CaCO3 (M = 100 g mol^-1) reacts with 0.150 mol HCl: CaCO3 + 2HCl -> CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O. Calculate the maximum CO2 volume at 24.0 dm^3 mol^-1 and identify the limiting reagent.

    A carbonate sample contains an insoluble inert impurity. A student weighs the sample, reacts it with excess acid and measures collected CO2. Evaluate two reasons why a low gas yield does not establish the impurity percentage reliably.
