 Two beakers A and B contain the acid and a strong base respectively.

 Beaker A: 0,5 dm3 of carbonic acid, H2CO3(aq) of concentration 0,10 mol.dm -3

 Beaker B: 0,75 dm3 of sodium hydroxide, NaOH(aq) of concentration 0,25 mol.dm-3

 When a 0,10 mol·dm-3 solution of H2CO3 is prepared, it is found that the concentration
 of HCO3-(aq) ions is 0,012 mol.dm-3 at 25 °C.

 8.2 Calculate the number of moles of H3O+(aq) ions present in H2CO3 solution in
     beaker A.                                                                             (3)

 The contents of beakers A and B are added together in beaker C. The solution in
 beaker C has an unknown pH.

                                             C

                        A                                       B

   0,10 mol.dm-3       0,5dm3         Unknown pH             0,75dm3      0,25 mol.dm-3
    H2CO3(aq)                                                             NaOH(aq)

       The balanced equation for the reaction is:

                       H2CO3(aq) + NaOH(aq)  NaHCO3(aq) + H2O(ℓ)

 8.3 Calculate the:

       8.3.1   Number of moles of hydroxide (OH-) ions in beaker B.                        (3)

       8.3.2   pH of the solution at the completion of the reaction in beaker C.           (7)
                                                                                           [15]

QUESTION 9: (Start on a new page.)

 A standard electrochemical cell is set up using a standard lead half-cell and XΙX2+
 half -cell as shown in the diagram below. A voltmeter connected across the cell,
 initially registers 0,47 V.

 When the cell is in operation, electrons flow through the Pb electrode towards the
 X electrode in the external circuit.

 9.2 Write down the equation for the half reaction that occurs at the cathode.             (2)

 9.3 Use the STANDARD ELECTRODE POTENTIAL TABLE to identify metal X.                       (5)

 9.4 Write down the cell notation of the above cell.                                       (3)

 During an experiment, a student set up the electrochemical cell as shown above. After
 the experiment is over, a student left the switch closed. On the next day, the student
 opens the switch and takes the voltmeter reading.

 9.5 What will be the possible voltmeter reading? Choose from LESS THAN 0,47 V,
     EQUAL TO 0,47 V or MORE THAN 0,47 V.
