5. 12.0 cm3 of methane and 48cm3 of oxygen were exploded together. The final volume measured
under the original conditions was 36.0 cm3 neglecting the water formed. 24.0cm3 of this was
unused oxygen. Show the ratio of reacting volume of the gases referred to and gaseous products
formed.

14. Zinc Sulphate can be used as a dietary supplement in cases of suspected zinc deficiency. The
compound crystallizes as anhydrated salt and is readily water soluble.
(b) In a simple experiment to determine the extent of hydration, a technician carefully
heated 3.715g of crystals to a moderate temperature until no further loss in mass
occurred. The anhydrous zinc had a mass of 2.08g.
