(iii) Give one metallic oxide which exhibite these properties.

 

(d)(i) Determine the oxidation number of: I. Al in [Al (H(_2)O)(_6)](^{3+}); II. H in NaH.

(ii) Give the IUPAC name of each of the following substances; I. CuSO(_4).5H(_2)O; II. CaCO(_3); Ill. KMnO(_4).

Explanation

(a) Solubility is the maximum amount of solute that would dissolve / be contained in 1 dm(^3) of solution at a given temperature.

(b)(i)

(ii) At 35° solubility = 0.50 to 0.55 moldm(^{-3}) range

(iii) Solubility @ 55°C = 0.95 to 0.98 moldm(^{-3})

1 moldm(^{-3}) of salt Z = 0.97; 100 = 97g

100cm(^{-3}) will contain = (frac{97 times 100}{100}) = 9.7g

Solubility @ 35°C = 0.54moldm(^{-3})

1 drn(^{-3}) contain = 0.54 x 100 = 54g

100cm(^{-3}) will contain 54 x100 = 5.4g

10 Mass of salt that would crystallize out = 9.7 – 5.4 = 4.3g

 

(c)(i) (I) Al(_2)O(_{3(s)}) + 6HCl(_{(aq)}) (to) 2AlCl(_{3(s)}) +  3H(_2)O(_{(l)})

(II) Al(_2)O(_{3(g)}) 2NaOH(_{(aq)}) + 3H(_2)O(_{(l)}) (to) 2NaAl(OH)(_4)

(ii) Amphoteric

(iii) ZnO / PbO / SnO /Al(_2)O(_3)

d)(i) I [Al(H(_2)O)(_6)](^{3+}) = x + (0) = +3

x = +3

Al = +3

(II) NaH = 1+ x = 0

x = —1

H = — 1

(ii)(I) Copper (II) tetraoxosulphate VI pentahydrate

(II) Calcium tripxocarbonate IV

(III) Potassium tetraoxomanganate VII.
