Question 12
a.

Which statement about acids and alkalis is correct?

  • Acids form H+\text{H}^+H+ ions in aqueous solution.
  • Alkalis have a pH less than 7.
  • Neutralisation is a reaction that only produces hydrogen gas.
  • Sodium hydroxide is an example of an acid.

b.

A scientist reacts dilute sulfuric acid with insoluble copper(II) carbonate, CuCO3\text{CuCO}_3CuCO3​. They repeat the experiment two more times.

The table below shows their results:

Experiment 1Experiment 2Experiment 3
Mass of copper(II) sulfate, CuSO4\text{CuSO}_4CuSO4​, produced (g)5.435.495.44
Mass of copper(II) carbonate, CuCO3\text{CuCO}_3CuCO3​, remaining (g)1.251.191.24

Calculate the mean mass of copper(II) sulfate, CuSO4\text{CuSO}_4CuSO4​, made. Give your answer to 3 significant figures.
