1. Calculate the percentage of oxygen in sulfur dioxide. SO2


Oxygen Ar =16
Sulphure Ar/ unsure mass =32
5 % O2/S x 100% = 50%
2. (calculate impurity %) Impure copper (Cu) is refined (purified), to obtain pure copper for use in
computers. 20 tonnes of copper gave 18 tonnes of pure copper, on refining. a What was the %
purity of the copper before refining? b How much pure copper will 50 tonnes of the impure
copper give?

The mole
Calculating masses from equations
1. Hydrogen burns in oxygen to form water. What mass of oxygen is needed for 1 g of
15 hydrogen, and what mass of water is obtained?
2. Iron reacts with a solution of copper(II) sulfate (CuSO4 ) to give copper and a solution
of iron sulfate. The formula for the iron sulfate could be either FeSO4 or Fe2(SO4)3. 1.4
g of iron gave 1.6 g of copper. Write the correct equation for the reaction.

20 METALS
1. Zinc and lead are obtained from ores that contain
only the metal and sulfur, in the molar ratio 1:1.
a Name the compounds in these ores.
b Write down their formulae.
25 In the extraction of the metal, the compounds are
roasted in air to obtain the oxide of the metal.
The sulfur forms sulfur dioxide.
c i Write equations for the roasting of the ores.
ii Which type of reaction is this?
30 iii Care must be taken in disposing of the sulfur
dioxide produced. Explain why.
Then the oxide can be heated with coke (carbon) to
obtain the metal and carbon monoxide.
d i Write equations for the reactions with carbon.
35 ii Which substances are reduced, in the reactions?

Electricity and chemical change

b At which electrode does reduction take place? Explain your answer
c What happens to the size of the anode?
10 d The colour of the solution does not change, during the electrolysis. Explain why.
e Suggest one industrial use for this electrolysis.
