The products were then added to a flask containing a solution of Universal Indicator. In a second experiment, the reaction was repeated with burning carbon instead of sodium. (a) State what you would observe with the Universal Indicator in each experiment. experiment using sodium: ……………………………………………………………………… experiment using carbon: ……………………………………………………………………[1] (b) Sodium oxide forms during the first experiment. Draw a ‘dot-and-cross’ diagram to show the arrangement of outer shell electrons in the compound of sodium oxide. [2] (c) In another experiment, 2.30 g of sodium was combusted. Table 2.1 shows the mass of the flask and contents before and after the experiment. Table 2.1 mass of flask and contents at start / g 94.50 mass of flask and contents at end / g 94.82 Calculate the percentage yield of sodium oxide. [3] [Total: 6]

Phosgene was first made in 1812 by using a photochemical reaction in which a mixture of carbon monoxide and chlorine was exposed to bright sunlight. This reaction is exothermic. CO + Cl2 ⇌ COCl2 (a) (i) Explain, in terms of bond breaking and bond making, why the formation of phosgene is an exothermic reaction. …………………………………………………………………………………………....... …………………………………………………………………………………………....... …………………………………………………………………………………………...[2] (ii) Explain, in terms of oxidation state, if the formation of phosgene is a redox reaction. …………………………………………………………………………………………....... …………………………………………………………………………………………....... …………………………………………………………………………………………...[2] (b) Fig. 3.1 below shows the heating curve of phosgene. Fig. 3.1 Describe the changes in the arrangement and movement of the molecules of phosgene when the temperature is increased from –128 °C to –108 °C. ………………………………………………………………………………………………....... ………………………………………………………………………………………………....... ………………………………………………………………………………………………....... ………………………………………………………………………………………………...[2] [Total: 6] temperature / °C 0 -118 time / s 8

Catalysts generally react with one or more reactants to form intermediates that subsequently give the final reaction product. (a) Catalysts are often expensive. Explain why it is still economically viable to use them. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………... ……………………………………………………………………………………………………... ……..……………………………………………………………………………………………[2] (b) Fig. 4.1 below shows a range of industrial catalysts in pellet form. Fig. 4.1 Explain why the catalysts are supplied in pellet form. Use ideas about particles in your answer. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………... ……………………………………………………………………………………………………... ……………………………………………………………………………………………………... …………………………………………………………………………………………………[2]

Fig. 4.2 below shows the energy profile diagram for the catalysed reaction. Fig. 4.2 (i) The uncatalysed reaction takes place in a single step. On Fig. 4.2, sketch the energy change graph for the uncatalysed reaction. [1] energy / kJ progress of reaction naphthalene + ethanoyl chloride acetylnaphthalene + hydrogen chloride
7 ©Victoria School 24/S4PRELIM/6092/2 (d) Ethanoyl chloride is an example of an acyl chloride. Acyl chlorides react with alcohols , in a similar manner to carboxylic acids , to produce esters. The 2 main differences are: • The reaction is irreversible. • Hydrogen chloride is removed instead of water. The structure of ethanoyl chloride is shown below. (i) Name the ester produced when ethanoyl chloride reacts with methanol. …………………………………………………………………………………………[1] (ii) Write a chemical equation for the above reaction, showing all organic substances as full structural formula.

(a) Draw the structure of the polymer formed when substance X reacts with diaminobutane. [1] (b) Substance X can also undergo addition polymerisation. (i) Draw the repeating unit of the polymer formed. [1] (ii) State one difference between the reaction in (a) and the reaction in (b)(i). ………………………………………………………………………………………………. ……………………………………………………………………………………………[1]
9 ©Victoria School 24/S4PRELIM/6092/2 (c) Draw an isomer of diaminobutane (H2N(CH2)4NH2) that still can undergo condensation polymerisation with substance X. [1] [Total:4]
