Answers available below

You will determine the amount of hydrochloric acid remaining in flask X after the reaction with the marble chips in Question 1. You will do this by titration with sodium hydroxide of known concentration. PMT NaOH(aq) + HCl (aq)NaCl (aq) + H2O(l) The impurities in the calcium carbonate will not react with the alkali. FA 3 is 0.140 mol dm3 sodium hydroxide, NaOH. bromophenol blue indicator (a) MethodTransfer all the contents of flask X into the 250 cm3 volumetric flask. Rinse flask X with distilled water and add the washings to the volumetric flask. Add distilled water up to the mark. Stopper the volumetric flask and mix the contents thoroughly. Label this solution FA 4. Rinse the pipette then use it to transfer 25.0 cm3 of FA 4 into a conical flask. Add about 10 drops of bromophenol blue indicator. Fill the burette with FA 3. Perform a rough titration and record your burette readings in the space below. The rough titre iscm3. Carry out as many accurate titrations as you think necessary to obtain consistent results. Record, in a suitable form below, all of your burette readings and the volume of FA 3 added in each accurate titration. Make certain any recorded results show the precision of your practical work. II III IV VI VII [7] (b) From your accurate titration results, obtain a suitable value for the volume of FA 3 to be used in your calculations. Show clearly how you obtained this value. 25.0 cm3 of FA 4 requiredcm3 of FA 3. [1]UCLES 2016 9701/35/O/N/16<br />
 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 9701/35/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? Explain your answers. Question 1Question 2[3] [Total: 16]UCLES 2016 9701/35/O/N/16<br />
