Disclaimer: This test and mark scheme have been written by the authors.

End-of-unit test
Unit 5
1 a Write the word equation for the reaction between zinc and copper sulfate. [1]
zinc + copper sulfate = zinc sulfate + copper.
____________________________________________________________________________
b Complete the symbol equation for the reaction in part a. [1]

Zn + CuSO4 → ZnSO4 + Cu

c Write the word equation for the reaction between magnesium and iron sulfate. [1]

____________________________________________________________________________
Magnesium + iron sulfate = magnesium sulfate + iron

d Write the symbol equation for the reaction in part c. [1]

____________________________________________________________________________
Mg + FeSO4 = MgSO4 + Fe

2 In an investigation, an unknown metal was tested to try to identify it.


The metal was heated in air; it reacted slowly to form an oxide.
The metal was placed in water; there was no reaction.
The metal was placed in dilute acid; there was a reaction with bubbles of gas being given off slowly.
Write down which of the following metals it could be. [1]

lithium magnesium zinc copper silver

Zinc

3 a Give the formula for sulfuric acid. [1]

____________________________________________________________________________
H₂SO4

b Name this acid: HNO3 [1]

____________________________________________________________________________
Nitric acid

c Name the salt formed when zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid. [1]

____________________________________________________________________________
Zinc chloride

4 When some students made the salt zinc sulfate, they reacted a piece of zinc with sulfuric acid
in a beaker. When the reaction finished, they poured the solution into an evaporating basin and
heated it. After heating it for a short time, they removed it from the heat and left the solution to
evaporate completely.
What risks are there in carrying out this experiment? How should the students overcome
the risks? [2]

Exposure to Sulfuric Acid:
Precaution: Wear safety goggles and gloves to protect against splashes.

Release of Hydrogen Gas:


Precaution: Conduct the reaction in a well-ventilated area or fume hood to prevent gas buildup.

Heat and Steam Burns:


Precaution: Use tongs or heat-resistant gloves when handling hot glassware.

Glassware Breakage:
Precaution: Inspect glassware for cracks before use and handle it carefully to prevent breakage.
