4 Hydrochloric acid reacts with calcium oxide to make calcium chloride and water.
Write the word equation for this reaction.
5 A student investigates the temperature rise when different acids react with sodium hydroxide
solution.
She measures 10 cm3 of sodium hydroxide solution and records the temperature.
She adds 10 cm3 of an acid to the alkali and records the new temperature.
She calculates the temperature rise.
She repeats the experiment with the same volume of sodium hydroxide solution but adds
different types of acid.
Her results are in the table.

6 Acid X is a strong acid and alkali Y is a strong alkali. Their concentrated solutions have pHs at
the two opposite ends of the pH scale.
A student thinks that either acid X or alkali Y have been diluted. He does an experiment to find
out which acid has been diluted.
He puts 5 cm3 of acid X in a boiling tube.
He adds the alkali Y 1 cm3 at a time.
Each time he adds 1 cm3 of the alkali, he measures the pH of the solution.
(a) Suggest how the student could measure the pH of the solution.
(1)
(b) State the volume of alkali Y added to make the solution neutral.
(1)
(c) State which solution, acid X or alkali Y, has been diluted. Explain your reasoning.

8 Coal-burning power stations produce waste gases that contain sulfuric acid. Describe how the
waste gases are treated to prevent release of sulfuric acid into the air.
