我想問下呢,
我明 weak acid 同 weakly acid 既分別,
但係就唔知用 mei 形式去考。

仲有可唔可以教多次點樣計
1A book o個 d 好煩既 calculation 呀?
thx

There are three main types of calculation :
1. % by mass of element in compound
E.g. % by mass of Ca in CaCO3 = 40/(40+12+3x16)=40%

2. relative atomic mass from mass numbers and % abundance of isotopes
E.g. rel. atomic mass of Cl = 35x75% + 37x25% = 35.5

3. Calculation based on balanced equation.
E.g. Calculate the mass of CO2 produced when 12 g of carbon completely burn in oxygen.
Step 1 : Write a balanced equation for the reaction: C + O2 ® CO2
Step 2 : Calcuate the no. of moles of C reacted.
No. of moles of C reacted = mass/molar mass = 12g/12g = 1 mol
Step 3 : According to the balanced equation
1 mole of C gives 1 mole of CO2
No. of moles of CO2 produced = 1 mol
Mass of CO2 produced = no. of mole x molar mass = 1x(12+2x12)g = 44g

There are three important formulae for calculating number of moles.

For aqueous solutions,
no. of moles = molarity x volume of solution(in dm3)

For pure substances (solids, liquids or gases),
no. of moles = mass/molar mass = no. of particles/Avogagro's constant

For salt, is there only AgCl, BaSO4, CaSo4,PbSO4,PbCl2 are insoluble??
Then they are ppt.???

我想問....
What mass of silver Ag is formed when 6.8g of magnesium Mg reacts with silver nitrate solution?
我只係知道equation 係:
Mg+2AgNO3=>2Ag+Mg(NO3)2
但係我就唔識計la........

Refer to Chem 2000 book 1B p.128.
All halides (chlorides/bromides/iodides) are soluble except silver halides(AgCl/AgBr/AgI) and lead(II) halide (PbCl2/PbBr2/PbI2).
All sulphates are} soluble except those of lead, barium and calcium (PbSO4/BaSO4/CaSO4)

Also,
All carbonates are
insoluble except Na2CO3, K2CO3 and (NH4)2CO3
All hydrogencarbonates are
soluble

No. of moles of Mg reacted = mass/molar mass = 6.8g/24.3g = 0.28 mol
According to the balanced equation :
Mg + 2AgNO3 ® 2Ag + Mg(NO3)2
1 mole of Mg produced 2 moles of Ag.
Therefore, No. of moles of Ag formed = 2x0.28 mol = 0.56 mol
Mass of Ag formed = no. of moles x molar mass = 0.56x107.9g =60.42g

But no need to care about the salt solution?????
if the question is asking you to find the nass of the solution after reacting. then do we need to care about the metal calculation?

It does not make sense to calculate the mass of a solution. You will only be asked to calculate the concentration or the molarity of a soltuion.
Can you calculate the molarity of the Mg(NO3)2(aq) formed when 6.8 g of Mg react completely with 25 cm3 of silver nitrate solution? (You can assume that the volume of the solution remains unchanged throughout the reaction)

You were asked to calculate the molarity, not volume!

Mg(s) + 2AgNO3(aq) ® 2Ag(s) + Mg(NO3)2(aq)
1 mole of Mg produced 1 mole of Mg(NO3)2.
Therefore, No. of moles of Mg(NO3)2 formed = 0.28 mol
Since the volume of the solution remains unchanged throughout the reaction, volume of Mg(NO3)2 solution = 25 cm3 = 0.025 dm3
So, the molarity of Mg(NO3)2(aq) formed = no. of mole/volume in dm3
= 0.28/0.025 = 11.2 M

Amendment!!
All sulphates are soluble in water except lead(II) sulphate, barium sulphate and calcium sulphate.
You don't have to know the solubility of most sulphites. However, you should know if sodium sulphite or potassium sulphite or ammonium sulphite is soluble in water. Do you know why?

咁可唔可以咁計呀??
Mg(s) + 2AgNO3(aq) →2Ag(s) + Mg(NO3)2(aq)
mol of Mg = 0.28mol
Molarity of Mg reacte with 2AgNO3 is
0.28molX1000 /25cm3 =11.2 M
assume the volumn doesn't change.
The molarity of Mg(NO3)2 is also 11.2 M

Mg is insoluble in water. It does not make sense to calculate the concentration of Mg.

Copper is oxidized to copper(II) ions by concentrated sulphuric acid and concentrated sulphuric acid is reduced to sulphur dioxide by copper.
Remember : copper shows no reaction with dilute sulphuric acid.

有冇其他既例子? 書邊度有?

A standard solution (a solution of known concentration) can be prepared by either
1. dissolving an accurately known amount of solid in distilled (or deionized) water and making up the solution to an accurately known volume (E.g 250 cm3) in a volumetric flask. (see activity 12.7 B) OR
2. diluting a standard solution.(see activity 12.7C)
For example, a 0.1 M HCl solution can be prepared by diluting 25.0 cm3 of 1.0 M HCl solution to 250 cm3.

1. the solid dissolves to give colourless gas bubbles and a blue solution.
2. copper foil dissolves to give a blue solution and a brown gas.
3. a white solid is left behind.
4. a blue precipitate is formed.
5. Nothing left
