PMT (c) Calculations Show your working and appropriate significant figures in the final answer to each step of your calculations. (i) Calculate the number of moles of sodium hydroxide, NaOH, present in the volume of FA 3 you calculated in (b). (ii) Use your answer to (i) and the equation on page 4 to determine the number of moles of hydrochloric acid, HCl, present in the 25.0 cm3 of FA 4 pipetted in (a). moles of NaOH =mol (iii) Use your answer to (ii) to calculate the number of moles of hydrochloric acid, HCl, remaining in flask X after the reaction in 1(a). moles of HCl =mol (iv) Use the relevant information on page 2 to calculate the number of moles of hydrochloric acid, HCl, pipetted into flask X in 1(a). moles of HCl remaining =mol moles of HCl pipetted into flask X =mol (v) Use your answers to (iii) and (iv) to calculate the number of moles of hydrochloric acid, HCl, which reacted with the marble chips in flask X. moles of HCl which reacted in flask X =molUCLES 2016 9701/31/O/N/16 [Turn over<br />
 (vi) Use your answer to (v), the equation in Question 1 and the Periodic Table on page 12 to calculate the mass of pure calcium carbonate, CaCO3, in the sample of industrial grade calcium carbonate, FA 1. PMT (vii) Use your answer to (vi) and the mass of marble chips recorded in 1(a) to calculate the percentage purity of FA 1. mass of CaCO3 =g percentage purity of FA 1 =% [5] (d) You have carried out two different methods to find the percentage purity of industrial grade calcium carbonate. A source of error in Question 1 is that some carbon dioxide escapes before the bung can be inserted. How would this affect the percentage purity of FA 1 calculated in the two questions?
