(c)(i) Write a balanced equation to illustrate the reaction of AI\(_2\)O\(_3\) with dilute I. HCI; II. NaOH.

(ii) What is the name given to an oxide that exhibits both acidic and basic properties?

(iii) Give one metallic oxide which exhibite these properties.

(d)(i) Determine the oxidation number of: I. Al in [Al (H\(_2\)O)\(_6\)]\(^{3+}\); II. H in NaH.

(ii) Give the IUPAC name of each of the following substances; I. CuSO\(_4\).5H\(_2\)O; II. CaCO\(_3\); Ill. KMnO\(_4\).

Explanation

(a) Solubility is the maximum amount of solute that would dissolve / be contained in 1 dm\(^3\) of solution at a given temperature.

(b)(i)

(ii) At 35° solubility = 0.50 to 0.55 moldm\(^{-3}\) range

(iii) Solubility @ 55°C = 0.95 to 0.98 moldm\(^{-3}\)

1 moldm\(^{-3}\) of salt Z = 0.97; 100 = 97g

100cm\(^{-3}\) will contain = \(\frac{97 \times 100}{100}\) = 9.7g

Solubility @ 35°C = 0.54moldm\(^{-3}\)

1 drn\(^{-3}\) contain = 0.54 x 100 = 54g

100cm\(^{-3}\) will contain 54 x100 = 5.4g

10 Mass of salt that would crystallize out = 9.7 - 5.4 = 4.3g

(c)(i) (I) Al\(_2\)O\(_{3(s)}\) + 6HCl\(_{(aq)}\) \(\to\) 2AlCl\(_{3(s)}\) + 3H\(_2\)O\(_{(l)}\)

(II) Al\(_2\)O\(_{3(g)}\) 2NaOH\(_{(aq)}\) + 3H\(_2\)O\(_{(l)}\) \(\to\) 2NaAl(OH)\(_4\)

(ii) Amphoteric

(iii) ZnO / PbO / SnO /Al\(_2\)O\(_3\)

d)(i) I [Al(H\(_2\)O)\(_6\)]\(^{3+}\) = x + (0) = +3

x = +3

Al = +3

(II) NaH = 1+ x = 0

x = —1

H = — 1

(ii)(I) Copper (II) tetraoxosulphate VI pentahydrate

(II) Calcium tripxocarbonate IV

(III) Potassium tetraoxomanganate VII.
