30cm3 of 2.0M hydrochloric acid completely reacts with 5.0g of impure zinc carbonate. Calculate the per centage purity of zinc carbonate. (Zn=65, C=12, O=16)
Step III
Calculate the molar mass of ZnCo3 that reacted with Hcl.
R.A.M Zn =
R.A.M C=
R.A.M O=
RFM of ZnCo3= 65 +
=(16 x)
=
Mass of ZnCo that reacted = moles x R.F.M
= 0.03 x
=g
Step IV
Work out the per centage purity of zinc carbonate in the mixture
% purity =
   
x 100
