A student weighed a sample into a beaker and recorded the following data. mass of beaker and sample / g 68.962 mass of empty beaker / g 67.620 The sample was dissolved and diluted in a 250 cm 3 volumetric flask to obtain solution L. In experiment 1 , a 50 cm 3 portion of solution L was reacted with excess silver nitrate solution. The AgCl precipitated was transferred onto a dry filter paper and was placed under an infra-red lamp. The dry AgCl precipitate was weighed and the following data was obtained. Experiment 1 mass of dry filter paper and AgCl / g 0.737 mass of dry filter paper / g 0.620 In experiment 2 , a gas was bubbled into another 50 cm 3 portion of solution L to convert ClO3− to Cl− before the addition of excess silver nitrate solution. The AgCl precipitated was also dried and weighed. The following data was obtained. Experiment 2 mass of dry filter paper and AgCl / g 0.799 mass of dry filter paper / g 0.651 (i) Write the half equation for the reduction of ClO3− to Cl−. ..................................................................................................................... [1] (ii) Determine the mass of Cl − in 50 cm3 of solution L. [1] (iii) Determine the mass of Cl − converted from ClO3− in experiment 2. [2]
