X Y Z A carbon dioxide nitrogen oxygen B hydrogen carbon dioxide nitrogen C nitrogen oxygen hydrogen D oxygen hydrogen carbon monoxide X, Y, Z copper(II) oxide Z aqueous sodium hydroxide water
4 4 A chromatography experiment was done on a brand of food colouring to determine the number of coloured dyes present. Chromatogram A shows the separation of the coloured dyes using water as a solvent. It is then rotated clockwise 90 and placed in ethanol as a solvent as shown in the chromatogram B. How many different types of coloured dyes are present in the food colouring? A 3 B 6 C 9 D 12 5 The melting and boiling points of the substances are tabulated in the table. melting point / C boiling point / C P 50 80 Q 70 500 R 65 67 S −15 −12 T 0 99 At which temperature would two liquids exist? A −20 C B −15 C C 15 C D 85 C
5 6 A beam of protons was passed through an electrostatic field between two charged plates. The electrostatic field deflected the beam of protons towards the negatively charged plates. The lower the relative mass of the particle, the larger the deflection. The experiment was repeated using a beam of electrons in place of the beam of protons. Which row correctly shows the extent of deflection and the direction of the beam of electrons? amount of deflection of beam of electrons direction of deflection of beam of electrons A deflected less than beam of protons opposite direction to beam of protons B deflected less than beam of protons same direction as beam of protons C deflected more than beam of protons opposite direction to beam of protons D deflected more than beam of protons same direction as beam of protons 7 Which compound has both ionic and covalent bonds? A hydrogen chloride B magnesium nitrate C potassium fluoride D zinc chloride 8 Which statements correctly describe the sub-atomic particles present in a selenium atom, Se34 79 ? 1. It has the same number of electrons as a S16 32 2− ion. 2. It has the same number of neutrons as a Br35 80 atom. 3. It has twice the number of protons as a C𝑙17 35.5 − ion. A 1 and 2 B 1 and 3 C 2 and 3 D 1, 2 and 3 9 Which statement about diamond and graphite is correct? A Both diamond and graphite are conductors of electricity and can be used as an electrode. B Both diamond and graphite are macromolecules and allotropes of carbon. C Diamond is hard with high melting point but graphite is soft with low melting point. D Diamond is made up of covalent bonds whereas graphite is made up of ionic bonds.
6 10 The table below shows the properties of some substances. Which underlined substance has been classified as an element, compound or mixture incorrectly? property classification A A white solid is formed when a silvery metal is burnt in air. element B Black powder burns in air to form a colourless gas. element C Green powder on heating leaves a black residue and a colourless gas is evolved. compound D White solid melts over 56 C to 58C mixture 11 A sample of solid X is heated until it is completely melted. The graph shows how its temperature varies with time as molten X is cooled. Which statements are true about the particles in X as it cools? 1. They are closer to each other at stage RS than at stage PQ. 2. The forces of attraction are stronger at stage P than at stage S. 3. The arrangement is more orderly at stage RS than at stage PQ. 4. Their total energy content at stage QR is lower than stage RS. A 1 and 2 B 1 and 3 C 2 and 3 D 2 and 4 Temperature /C P Q R S time /min
