The characteristic properties of acids and bases — practice question

The structure of sulfamic acid is displayed.
(a)[1]

Write down the molecular formula of sulfamic acid.

(b(i))[1]

Sulfamic acid is a weak acid. What does the term acid mean?

(b(ii))[2]

What is the distinction between a weak acid and a strong acid?

(c)[3]

What mass of sulfamic acid is needed to prepare $250\,\text{cm}^3$ of a $0.150\,\text{mol dm}^{-3}$ solution?

(d)[1]

In a titration, $0.00250$ moles of $\text{NaOH}$ are neutralised exactly by sulfamic acid with concentration $0.150\,\text{mol dm}^{-3}$. One mole of sodium hydroxide reacts with one mole of sulfamic acid. Calculate the volume, in $\text{cm}^3$, of sulfamic acid required for this titration.

(e)[2]

One mole of aqueous sulfamic acid yields one mole of hydrogen ions. Construct the equation to show how sulfamic acid reacts with magnesium.
