Question 84

The word equation for the reaction between calcium carbonate and dilute nitric acid is:

calcium carbonate+nitric acid→calcium nitrate+water+carbon dioxide \text{calcium carbonate} + \text{nitric acid} \rightarrow \text{calcium nitrate} + \text{water} + \text{carbon dioxide} calcium carbonate+nitric acid→calcium nitrate+water+carbon dioxide

The reaction was carried out using the apparatus shown in Figure 1.

Diagram of a reaction flask containing dilute nitric acid and marble chips of calcium carbonate. The flask is closed at the neck with a cotton wool plug to allow carbon dioxide gas to escape while preventing liquid spray from leaving the flask.

Several marble chips were placed in the conical flask. 50 cm3 of dilute nitric acid was added to the conical flask.

Name the piece of apparatus that could be used to measure out 50 cm3 of dilute nitric acid.
