1 A sherbet dip has three main ingredients. When
you put the sherbet in your mouth there is a
chemical reaction, and you feel a fizzing sensation.
a Carl tested each of the ingredients separately
with universal indicator.
Complete the table to show the results that
he found.

Ingredient Colour of universal indicator pH of solution Acid, alkali or neutral

citric acid 3 acid
sugar green
sodium hydrogencarbonate 9
colouring green

[5 marks]

b The fizzing is caused by the reaction of the citric acid with one of the other ingredients. A
gas is given off.
i Which ingredient reacts with the acid? _________________________________
ii What is the nema of the gas that is given off?
______________________________________
iii What is the name of the reaction between an acid and an alkali?
_________________________________________________________________
iv The reaction in sherbet forms a substance called sodium citrate.
What type of substance is sodium citrate? _______________________________

c i Sodium hydrogencarbonate is a chemical compound. How can we tell this from

the name?

3 Melanie carried out tests on four different gases.
Test 1: She added a little limewater to a tube of gas and shook it up.
Test 2: She put a burning splint into a second tube of each gas.
a Complete each box in the table to describe the results of the tests.
If there is no reaction for a test, write no reaction. Do not leave any box blank.
The first one has been done for you.

Effect of the gas on limewater Effect of adding a burning splint to the gas
Gas 1 no reaction flame goes out
Gas 2: hydrogen
Gas 3: carbon dioxide
Gas 4: oxygen

They move in straight lines at a high speed.
They vibrate around fixed points.
They can move past each other but collide quite often.
They cannot move at all.
They all move in the same direction.
They move in a totally random way and collide very occasionally.

f The mass of the flask and the contents were measured, and the temperature was noted
before lowering the magnesium. The mass and temperature were recorded again after the
reaction had finished. The temperature of the solution had risen.
i What change, if any, would there have been in the mass of the flask and contents?
