Igcse Structure Question 12

This document describes a chemistry experiment involving mixing solutions to form precipitates. It asks the student to: 1) Complete a table showing the results of mixing various compound solutions. 2) Insert state symbols (solid, aqueous) into a chemical equation describing the reaction between lead nitrate and potassium bromide solutions forming a precipitate of lead bromide. 3) Explain why the student filtered the mixture, washed the solid residue with distilled water, and left the solid in a warm place after the experiment.

Igcse structure question 12

Question 3
When solutions are mixed together, precipitates sometimes form.
(a) Barium carbonate is an insoluble compound. It is formed as a precipitate
when solutions of the soluble compounds barium chloride and sodium
carbonate are mixed.
When solutions of the soluble compounds potassium chloride and sodium
sulfate
are mixed, no precipitate is formed.
Complete the table to show the results of mixing solutions of some
compounds. (3)

(b) When solutions of lead(II) nitrate and potassium bromide are mixed, a
precipitate of lead(II) bromide and a solution of potassium nitrate are produced.
The equation for the reaction is as follows:
Pb(NO3)2(................) + 2KBr(................) PbBr2(................) + 2KNO3(................)
Complete the equation aboveby inserting the state symbols.
(1)

(c) In order to prepare a pure, dry sample of lead(II) bromide, a student took the
mixture produced in part (b).
He then
filtered the mixture

washed the solid residue with distilled water

left the solid in a warm place for several hours

(i) Why did the student filter the mixture?
