© chiasamuel 2025 1 What is the oxidation state of oxygen in hydrogen peroxide? A +1 B +2 C -1 D -2 2 4 students wrote statements about redox reactions. Anthony: When there is an increase of electrons, the substance gaining electrons is oxidised. Bryan: The oxidation state of hydrogen in Sodium Hydride is +1. Chris: For a redox reaction to occur, both oxidation and reductions must occur at the same time. Daniel: All redox reactions are neutralisation reactions. Which student is correct? A Anthony B Bryan C Chris D Daniel

The observations are summarised in the table. reagent added to hydrogen peroxide observations aqueous potassium iodide aqueous potassium iodide turns from colourless to brown acidified potassium manganate (VII) acidified potassium manganate (VII) turns from purple to colourless Which set of properties are correct? aqueous potassium iodide aqueous potassium manganate A oxidising agent reducing agent B oxidising agent oxidising agent C reducing agent oxidising agent D reducing agent reducing agent 4 Substance T is known to be a compound that has potassium cations. It is added into H ₂ O ₂ solution. Upon reaction, it is observed that the colour of T changes from purple to colourless. Which anion is present in substance T ? A MnO ₄⁺ B MnO ₄⁻ C I ⁺ D I ⁻

© chiasamuel 2025 7 The table below shows some common oxides. It may help to answer the following questions Aluminium oxide Copper (II) oxide Carbon dioxide Nitrogen monoxide Lithium oxide Zinc oxide Carbon monoxide Nitrogen dioxide Each oxide can be used once, more than once or not at all. You are to write down ALL oxides in the table that apply to each statement. (you can write the chemical formulas) (a) Amphoteric oxides are oxides that react with both acids and alkalis. Name the examples of amphoteric oxides. [1] (b) Neutral oxides are oxides that do not react with acids or alkalis. Name the examples of neutral oxides. [1] (c) Basic oxides are oxides that only react with acids. Name the examples of basic oxides. [1] (d) Acidic oxides are oxides that only react with alkalis. Name the examples of acidic oxides. [1] (e) Which two oxides are produced by lighting activities? [1] [Total: 5]
