Sodium percarbonate, x(Na2CO3).y(H2O2) is a chemical that is used in cleaning powders. When dissolved in water, it releases hydrogen peroxide and sodium carbonate, both of which are useful cleaning agents. A sample of 10.0 cm 3 of 0.100 mol dm ‒3 sodium percarbonate requires 20.0 cm 3 of 0.100 mol dm‒3 of acidified KI before the end point of titration is reached. Another identical sample releases 48.0 cm 3 of carbon dioxide at room conditions on reaction with excess acid. What are the values of x and y respectively? x y A 2 1 B 3 2 C 2 3 D 3 1

An isotope of Argon has a mass number of 41 and the same number of neutrons in the nucleus as each of the isotopes X, Y and Z. The species Ar, X+, Y2+ and Z3+ all contain the same number of electrons. What are the mass numbers of X, Y and Z? X Y Z A 42 41 40 B 40 41 42 C 44 43 42 D 42 43 44 Source +4o 40Ca2+ + ‒

The original intermolecular forces in the pure liquids are disrupted an d weaker intermolecular forces between water and ethanol are made simultaneously. The boiling point of water is 100 oC. The boiling point of ethanol is 78 oC. Which row is correct? initial temperature of mixture boiling point of mixture A above 20 oC above 78 oC B above 20 oC below 78 oC C below 20 oC above 100 oC D below 20 oC below 100 oC 7 The pKa and solubility values of maleic acid and fumaric acid are as follows: maleic acid fumaric acid pKa1 1.94 3.03 pKa2 6.22 4.54 solubility / g per 100g water 78.8 0.49 Which statements are correct? 1 The pKa1 value of maleic acid is less than the pKa1 value of fumaric acid because the conjugate base of maleic acid can form intramolecular hydrogen bond, while that of fumaric acid cannot form such intramolecular hydrogen bond. 2 The pKa1 value of maleic acid is less than the pKa1 value of fumaric acid because maleic acid is much more soluble in water than fumaric acid. 3 The pKa2 value of maleic acid is greater than the pKa2 value of fumaric acid because intramolecular hydrogen bond prevents the conjugate base of maleic acid from deprotonating the second hydrogen atom.

6 © ACJC 2021 9729/01/Prelim/2021 [Turn over 11 Trouton’s rule states that the entropy change of vaporisation is about +85 J K−1 mol−1 for various kinds of liquids. Propan-1-ol boils at 371 K and its enthalpy change of vaporisation is +47 kJ mol–1. Which statement is correct? A Entropy change of vaporisation of propan-1-ol cannot be calculated because there is no data on Gibbs free energy change of vaporisation of propan-1-ol. B Entropy change of vaporisation of propan-1-ol is +85 J mol–1 K–1. C Entropy change of vaporisation of propan -1-ol is +127 J mol –1 K–1 which is more positive than +85 J mol –1 K–1 because of the strong hydrogen bonds between molecules. D Entropy change of vaporisation of propan -1-ol is +127 J mol –1 K–1 which is more positive than +85 J mol–1 K–1 because of the weak instantaneous dipole induced dipole attraction between molecules. 12 Ethyl ethanoate undergoes a slow acid-catalysed hydrolysis in water. H+ CH3CO2CH2CH3 + H2O CH3CO2H + CH3CH2OH The rate equation is found to be rate = k[CH3CO2CH2CH3][H+] When 0.1 mol dm 3 of HCl is reacted with 0.2 mol dm 3 of ethyl ethanoate, the half -life was found to be 62 min. Another reaction was carried out with 0.2 mol dm3 of HCl and 0.2 mol dm3 of ethyl ethanoate. How long does it take for the concentration of ethyl ethanoate to fall to 0.025 mol dm3? A 31 min B 62 min C 93 min D 124 min
