Part 2: Application (2A)

1) Airbags are an important safety feature in vehicles. Sodium azide, potassium nitrate and silicon dioxide
have been used in one design of airbag. Two students looked at data in a simulated computer-based
experiment to determine the volume of nitrogen generated in an airbag. Sodium azide, a toxic
compound, undergoes the following decomposition reaction under certain conditions:
2 NaN3 (s) → 2 Na (s) + 3 N2 (g)
Using the simulation program, the students entered the following data into the computer.
Temperature (T) / oC Mass of NaN3 (s) (m) / kg Pressure (p) / atm
25.00 0.0650 1.08

a) Calculate the amount, in mol, of sodium azide present. (1A)

Therefore, the amount, in mol, of sodium azide

present is about 1.00 mol.

b) Determine the volume of nitrogen gas, in dm3, produced under these conditions based on this reaction.
(note: 1 atm = 101.325 kpa) (4A)

Therefore, the volume of nitrogen gas produced, in dm3, is 33.96074 dm3 or 33.9607dm3 in significant
figures.

Part 3: Thinking (7T)
1) The percentage by mass of calcium carbonate in eggshell was determined by adding excess
hydrochloric acid to ensure that all the calcium carbonate had reacted. The excess acid left was then
titrated with aqueous sodium hydroxide.
a) A student added 27.20 cm3 of 0.200 mol dm-3 HCl to 0.188 g of eggshell. Calculate the amount,
in mol, of HCl added. (1T)

Therefore, the amount, in mole, of

HCl added is 0.00544 mol.

b) The excess acid requires 23.80 cm3 of 0.100 mol dm-3 NaOH for neutralization. Calculate the
amount, in mol, of acid that is in excess. (2T)

Therefore, the amount, in mol,

of acid that is in excess is
0.00238 mol.

c) Determine the amount, in mol, of HCl that reacted with the calcium carbonate in the eggshell.
(1T)

Therefore, the amount, in mol, of HCl that reacted with the calcium carbonate in the eggshell is
0.00306 mol.

d) Determine the amount, in mol, of calcium carbonate in the sample of the eggshell. Use the
equation given below. (1T)
2HCl (aq) + CaCO3 (aq) → CaCl2 (aq) + H2O (l) + CO2 (g)

Therefore, the amount, in mol, of calcium carbonate in the sample of the eggshell is 0.00153
mol.

e) Calculate the mass of CaCO3. (1T)

Therefore, the mass of CaCO3 is 0.1531 grams or 0.153 grams in significant figures.

f) Calculate the percentage by mass of calcium carbonate in the eggshell sample. (1T)

Therefore, the percentage by mass of

calcium carbonate in the eggshell
sample is 81.44% or 81.4% in
significant figures.

Part 4: Communication (3C)
1) Write a balanced chemical equation for each reaction. You do not need to put state symbols.
a) The combustion of magnesium (Mg) in oxygen (O2) to form magnesium oxide (MgO). (1T)

2Mg + O2 → 2MgO

b) The neutralization of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to form sodium sulfate
(Na2SO4) and water (H2O). (1T)

2NaOH + H2SO4 → Na2SO4 + 2H2O

c) The combustion of methane (CH4) to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). (1T)

CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O
