iii.Zn+2 + 2H+ + SO4-2 Zn+2 + SO4-2 + H2O 2
b. water is amphoteric, in this reaction reacting with acid it accepted a
2
proton.
c. Strong acid completely ionize in aqueous state, while weak acid
partially ionizes
Q.5 5.1.a. mass of one mole= 9.12/152 = 0.06 mol 1
Number of iron(III) oxide formed = 0.06/2 = 0.03

0.06 x
Mass of iron (III) oxide =[(2× 56) + (3×16)]
1
= 160 g
Mass of iron (III) oxide formed= 0.03 × 160 1
=4.8 g
Number of SO3 formed = 0.06 /2 1
= 0.03 mol
FeSO4 SO3

0.06 X 1
Volume of sulfur trioxide formed = 0.03/24
1.25 × 10-3 dm3

b. mole of substance is the amount that contains the same number of

units as the number of carbon atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12 1

c. number of moles of SO2 = 4.50 /24 2

= 0.1875 mole
Ratio SO2 : FeS2
8 : 4
0.1875 : X
Number of FeS2 moles = (0.1875 x 4)/8
= 0.09375 mole
Mass of FeS2 = 0.09375 x [56 + (2x32)] ½
= 11.25 g
Purity percent = (11.25/100)%
=11.25% ½
