A teacher demonstrated the reactivity of calcium with water. He used the apparatus shown below. water calcium gas syringe The teacher measured the volume of gas given off at various times during the reaction. He then repeated the experiment using strontium but keeping all the conditions the same. The graph obtained from the results is shown below. time / s volume of gas / cm3 calcium strontium Explain how the graph shows that strontium is more reactive than calcium. For the reaction between calcium and water, deduce the volume of gas produced in the first 50seconds. cm3 At what time was the reaction between strontium and water complete? s How do you know from the graph that the reaction between calcium and water was not complete 100 seconds after the reaction started? Suggest how the rate of reaction changes when the same mass of calcium is used but in smaller pieces. The solution formed at the end of the reaction between strontium and water is alkaline. It is a solution of strontium hydroxide. The teacher titrated this solution with hydrochloric acid using the apparatus shown below. hydrochloric acid 25 cm3 strontium hydroxide solution burette What piece of apparatus should be used to put exactly 25.0 cm3 of the strontium hydroxide solution into the flask? A few drops of litmus solution was added to the flask. Explain why litmus is added to the flask and describe what happens to the litmus as the titration proceeds. The graph below shows how the pH of the solution in the flask changes as the acid is added. volume of hydrochloric acid / cm3 pH Describe how the pH of the solution changes as the titration proceeds. What volume of acid had been added when the solution had a neutral pH? The symbol equation for the reaction is Sr(OH)2 + 2HCl → SrCl 2 + 2H2O Give the name of the salt formed in this reaction.
