I/GCSE Chemistry- Carbon Dioxide Practical

Triple and Double award

· igcse chemistry

This I/GCSE Chemistry blog post will look into how to prepare different ways of carbon dioxide reactions.

Preparation of Carbon Dioxide 

You can collect gases in a test tube, as the gas you are collecting displaces the air in the test tube. You can do this by:

  • Upward delivery : to collect gases that are lighter than air
  • Downward delivery: to collect gases denser than air.

Calcium carbonate are put in the bottom of a flask and dilute hydrochloric acid is added.

 This reaction produces calcium carbonate , water and carbon dioxide gas: 

  • 2HCl + CaCO3 - CaCl2 + H2O + CO2

The carbon dioxide is collected in a gas syringe or using downward delivery.

Thermal decomposition: Heating a metal carbonate also produces CO2, this is an example of thermal decomposition, which is when a substance breaks down into simpler substances when heated.

Copper carbonate is a green powder that will easily decompose to form carbon dioxide and copper oxide.

  • CuCO3 - CuO + CO2.
  • Carbon dioxide is then collected by downward delivery method

That is all for this post!
