Explanation:

The reaction of potassium carbonate with hydrochloric acid is as follow -

Potassium Carbonate + Hydrochloric acid → Potassium Chloride + Water + Carbon Dioxide.

In the above reaction , the metal carbonate reacts with an acid to give salt , water and carbon dioxide .

The reaction is an exothermic reaction , as the release of carbon dioxide , is indicated by vigorous effervescence .

Hence ,

The temperature of the reaction increases a lot and hence the reaction is very dangerous .

Therefore , the reaction is very risky to perform.

(a)  (i) Zinc blende is mainly Zinc sulphide and in industry it is converted to ZnO by flames to burn off the sulphur as SO2 which is then used to make sulphuric acid.

(ii)   Reduction of ZnO to Zn:-

2ZnO + C = CO2 + 2Zn

(b) This is called sacrificial anodic protection.  The zinc ( which is more reactive than iron) when in contact with the oxygen in the air is oxidised and in the process loses its electrons. These travel  through the electrolyte to the iron. The electrons then reduce any iron oxide to iron: fe2+ + 2e  ---> Fe.

We use the osmotic pressure to determine the concentration of the solute in the solution. Then, we multiply the volume of the solution to determine the number of moles of solute particles. We need to establish to equations since we have two unknowns, the mass of of each solute. We do as follows:

osmotic pressure = CRT 
<span>C = 7.75 / 0.08205 (296.15) = 0.3189 mol / L</span>
<span>moles of particles = C*V = 0.3189*0.250 =0.0797 mol </span>
<span>0.0797 = moles of sucrose + 2*moles of salt </span>

<span>x + 2y = 0.0797 </span>
<span>and </span>
<span>x(MMsucrose) + y(MMNaCl) = 10.2</span>
<span>342x + 58.5y = 10.2
</span>
<span>solve for x and y
</span>
<span>x = 0.0252 mol sucrose</span>
<span>y = 0.0273 mol NaCl
 </span>
<span>mass Sucrose = 0.0252(342) = 8.6184 g </span>
<span>mass NaCl = 0.0273(58.5) = 1.5971 g </span>
<span>% NaCl = (1.5971 / 10.2)*100 = 15.66%</span>
