3 You are not expected to do any experimental work for this question

Barium carbonate decomposes when heated. The word equation for the reaction is shown.

barium carbonate barium oxide + carbon dioxide

Plan an experiment to determine the percentage loss in mass when barium carbonate is heated.

Your plan must include the use of common laboratory apparatus and a sample of barium carbonate.
No other chemicals should be used.

Your plan must include:

• the apparatus needed

• the method to use and the measurements to take
• procedures to ensure that the percentage determined is as accurate as possible
• how the measurements are used to determine the percentage loss in mass.

You may draw a diagram to help answer the question.
