1. Diagram below shows eight test tubes containing lead(II) chromate(VI) precipitate. The experiment was
carried out to construct an ionic equation for the formation of lead (II) chromate(VI).

Eight test tubes of the same size were labelled 1 to 8. A fixed volume of 5.0 cm3 of 1.0 mol dm-3
potassium chromate(VI) solution was placed in each test tube. 1.0 cm3 of 1.0 mol dm-3 solution X was
added into test tube 1. 2.0 cm3 into test tube 2 and so on until 8.0 cm3 was added into test tube 8.
The heights of the precipitate formed in each test tube were measured.
The results of the experiment are shown in table below:

Test tube 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Volume of 1.0 mol dm-3

potassium chromate(VI) 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0
solution / cm3
Volume of 1.0 mol dm-3
1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0 7.0 8.0
solution X / cm3
Height of precipitate / cm 1.1 2.2 3.3 4.4 5.5 5.5 5.5 5.5

pollution caused by sulphur dioxide can be reduced.
(a) State one effect of acid rain to the environment. [1%]
(b) Name the raw material used as a source of calcium carbonate. [1%]
(c) Sulphur dioxide reacts with the calcium carbonate to produce calcium sulphite and carbon dioxide.
Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. [2%]

4. You are required to prepare dry magnesium carbonate salt. The chemicals supplied are:

(a) Plaster of Paris is a chemical compound consisting of fine white powder, which hardens when
1
exposed to moisture and allowed to dry. Its chemical formula is CaSO4· H2O and is better known
2
as calcium sulphate hemihydrate.
