Lithium nitrate, LiNO3, decomposes on heating in a similar way to Group 2 nitrates to give the metal oxide, a brown gas and oxygen. Write an equation for the decomposition of LiNO3. The other Group 1 nitrates, MNO3, decompose on heating to form the metal nitrite, MNO2, and oxygen. The thermal stability of these nitrates increases down the group. Suggest why the thermal stability of MNO3 increases down the group. Acidified manganate(ions, MnO4 –, can be used to analyse solutions containing nitrite ions, NO2 –, by titration. X is a solution of NaNO2. 250.0 cm3 of X is added to 50.0 cm3 of 0.125 mol dm–3 acidified MnO4 –. The MnO4 –ions are in excess; all the NO2 – ions are oxidised in the reaction. The unreacted MnO4 –required 22.50 cm3 of 0.0400 mol dm–3 Fe2+to reach the end‑point. The relevant half‑equations are shown.

Suggest and explain how the Ecell value of the disproportionation reaction changes with an increase in pH. ,  ,

Aqueous solutions of methanoic acid, HCOOH, and propanoic acid, CH3CH2COOH, are mixed together. An equilibrium is set up between two conjugate acid–base pairs. Define conjugate acid–base pair. The pKa of HCOOH is 3.75 and of CH3CH2COOH is 4.87.

A buffer solution containing a mixture of CH3COOH and CH3COONa is prepared as follows. A solution of 600 cm3 of CH3COOH is mixed with 400 cm3 of 0.125 mol dm–3 CH3COONa. The buffer solution has pH 5.70. The Ka of CH3COOH is 1.78 × 10–5 mol dm–3.

Methanoic acid, HCOOH, is being investigated as a fuel in fuel cells. When the cell operates, HCOOH is oxidised to carbon dioxide. The half‑equation for the reaction at the cathode is: O2 + 4H+ + 4e– 2H2O. In this fuel cell, the overall cell reaction is the same as that for the complete combustion of HCOOH. Deduce the half‑equation for the reaction at the anode. Calculate the volume, in cm3, of oxygen used when a current of 3.75 A is delivered by the cell for 40.0 minutes. Assume the cell operates at room conditions. volume of oxygen = cm3 , ,

Explain why trichloroethanoic acid, CCl 3COOH, is more acidic than ethanoic acid, CH3COOH. Acyl chlorides are formed by reacting carboxylic acids with thionyl chloride, SOCl 2. Ethanedioyl chloride, (COCl )2, can be prepared by reacting ethanedioic acid, (COOH)2, with an excess of SOCl 2. Write an equation for this reaction. Samples of (COCl )2 are reacted separately with an excess of warm acidified KMnO4and with H2NCH2CH2NH2.
