Do not use staples, paper clips, glue or correction fluid. Write your name on the Answer Sheet in the spaces provided. There are thirty questions on this paper. Answer all questions. For each question there are four possible answers, A, B, C and D. Choose the one you consider correct and record your choice in soft pencil on the separate Answer Sheet. Each correct answer will score one ma rk. A mark will not be deducted for a wrong answer. Any rough working should be done in this booklet. The use of an approved scientific calculator is expected, where appropriate. This document consists of 19 printed pages and 1 blank page.

2 1 During a laboratory practical exercise, a student tried to determine the concentration of Fe2+(aq) and Fe3+(aq) in a given mixture through two different experiments. 1. 25.0 cm 3 aliquot of the Fe 2+(aq) and Fe 3+(aq) mixture solution required 15.00 cm3 of 0.1 mol dm –3 of acidified KMnO 4 solution for complete oxidation. 2. Using another 25.0 cm3 aliquot, all the Fe3+(aq) was first reduced to Fe2+(aq) using zinc metal before requiring 34.20 cm3 of the same KMnO4 solution for complete oxidation. What is the concentration of Fe2+(aq) and Fe3+(aq) in the given mixture? A 0.012 mol dm–3 Fe2+(aq) and 0.0154 mol dm–3 Fe3+(aq) B 0.180 mol dm–3 Fe2+(aq) and 0.230 mol dm–3 Fe3+(aq) C 0.300 mol dm–3 Fe2+(aq) and 0.384 mol dm–3 Fe3+(aq) D 0.300 mol dm–3 Fe2+(aq) and 0.684 mol dm–3 Fe3+(aq) 2 A number of elements in the actinoid series are radioactive and undergo decay to other elements. The following equation is an example of such decay. Pu → element A + 9 He2 4 + 5 e–1 0 94 241 Which of the following gives the identity of element A? Mass number Atomic number A 205 81 B 205 86 C 223 81 D 237 90

3 3 Which of the following show s an increase in the bond angle of the compound from left to right? A NH3 H2S SiH4 B PH3 NH3 AlCl3 C PH3 PF3 PCl3 D XeF4 SCl6 CCl4 4 In which of the following does Statement II give a correct explanation for Statement I? Statement I Statement II 1 Magnesium has a higher melting point than sodium. Magnesium has more delocalised valence electrons which results in stronger metallic bonds. 2 Glycine, H2NCH2COOH, has a higher melting point than 2–hydroxyethanoic acid, HOCH2COOH. Glycine can form stronger hydrogen bonds than 2–hydroxyethanoic acid. 3 Chloromethane undergoes nucleophilic substitution more easily than fluoromethane. The C–Cl bond in chloromethane is weaker than the C–F bond in fluoromethane. A 2 and 3 B 1 and 2 C 1 and 3 D 1, 2, and 3
