a.

Which statement about acids and bases is correct?

  • A weak acid is only partially ionised in aqueous solution.
  • Phenolphthalein turns bright pink in acidic solutions.
  • All bases are soluble in water.
  • Nitric acid, HNO3\text{HNO}_3HNO3​, is a weak acid.

b.

A chemist reacts dilute nitric acid with insoluble nickel(II) carbonate, NiCO3\text{NiCO}_3NiCO3​.

They repeat the experiment two more times. The table shows their results.

Experiment 1Experiment 2Experiment 3
Mass of nickel(II) nitrate, Ni(NO3)2\text{Ni(NO}_3)_2Ni(NO3​)2​, produced (g)8.348.478.31
Mass of nickel(II) carbonate, NiCO3\text{NiCO}_3NiCO3​, remaining (g)2.122.052.16

Calculate the mean mass of nickel(II) nitrate, Ni(NO3)2\text{Ni(NO}_3)_2Ni(NO3​)2​, made. Give your answer to 3 significant figures.
