(3 marks) 5. ?25 cm3 of a solution of H2SO4 was titrated with 0.210 mol dm-3 NaOH. 19.5 cm3 of the NaOH solution was required to neutralise the H2SO4. Write a balanced equation for the reaction and calculate the molarity of the H2SO4 solution. (5 marks) 6. ?The ionic compound ammonium sulphate is an important fertilizer. Aqueous solutions of ammonium sulphate and sodium hydroxide react according to the following equation.

(4 marks) (b)? A 3.00g sample of fertilizer containing ammonium sulphate was made up to 250cm3 of aqueous solution. A 25.0cm3 sample of this solution was added to an excess of sodium hydroxide solution and the ammonia gas produced passed into a solution of 50.0cm3 of 0.100mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid. The residual acid was then titrated with 0.100mol dm-3 potassium hydroxide 25.4 cm3 of KOH was required to achieve an end point. (i)?Write an equation for the reaction of ammonia gas with hydrochloric acid. (2 marks) (ii)?Write an equation for the reaction of hydrochloric acid with potassium hydroxide. (2 marks) (iii)? How many moles of HCl were present in the 50.0cm3 of 0.100 mol dm3 hydrochloric acid before the ammonia gas was passed through it? (1 mark) (iv)?How many moles of HCl remained in the 50.0cm3 of 0.100mol dm-3 ? ?hydrochloric acid after the ammonia gas was passed through it? (4 marks) (v)?Thus determine the number of moles of HCl that were used in the reaction with ammonia (2 marks) (v)?Use your answers to part (i) and (iv) above to deduce the number of moles of ammonia formed from 25cm3 of diluted sample of fertilizer (1 mark) (vi)?Thus calculate the number of moles of ammonium sulphate in the 25 cm3 of diluted sample of fertilizer (2 marks) (vii)?What amount ammonium sulphate (in moles) was present in the 3.00g sample of fertilizer? (2 marks) (viii)?What is the percentage by mass of ammonium sulphate in the fertilizer? (3 marks) Subtotal 56 + 4 marks for quality of presentation and awareness of use of number
