Text from the first pages1 River Valley High School 9647/03/PRELIM/11 Preliminary Examination 2011 RIVER VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL YEAR 6 PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION H2 CHEMISTRY 9647/03 Paper 3 Free Response Suggested Answers 1ai ∆Hr = BE(bonds broken) – BE(bonds form) = [12BE(N-H) + 3BE(O=O)] – [2(NΞN) + 12(O-H)] = [12(+390) + 3(+496)] [2(+994)+12(+460)] = 1340 kJ mol-1 1aii The calculated value differs from the theoretical value because the bond energies given in the Data Booklet are only average energies. 1aiii ∆S is expected to be positive as the reaction proceeds with an increase in disorder due to increase in the number of gaseous molecules. ∆G = ∆HT∆S, since ∆S is positive and ∆H is negative, ∆G will always be a negative value. Hence we can conclude that the given reaction is spontaneous. 1aiv Increasing deviation: N2 < O2 < NH3 < H2O Deviation from ideal behaviour depends on the strength of intermolecular forces and number of electrons in the molecule. Weak instantaneous dipole-induced dipole/van der Waals’ forces exist between nitrogen molecules and between oxygen molecules. Strong hydrogen bonds exist between ammonia molecules and water molecules. Water shows more extensive hydrogen bonding than ammonia while oxygen has a larger electron cloud, and therefore stronger instantaneous dipole-induced dipole/van der Waals’ forces than nitrogen. 1bi Haemoglobin consists of four protein chain subunits: two -chain subunits and two - chain subunits, held by non-covalent interactions between R groups: ionic interactions, van der Waals’ forces and hydrogen bonds. 1bii Assuming oxygen is an ideal gas, pV = nRT (98.7 x 10 3)(3.06 x 10-6) = n(8.314)(37+273) n = 1.172 x 10-4 mol

Intermolecular forces of attraction are present between oxygen molecules. 1ci Valine exhibits optical isomerism. 1cii Van der Waals’ forces between ile, leu, met, phe, val (any two). Hydrogen bonds between lys, thr, trp (any two).

The reaction is zero order with respect to H+. Comparing Expt 2 and 4: When [ A] increased to 1.25 times while [H +] and [CN] were unchanged, initial rate of formation of B increased to 1.25 times. The reaction is first order with respect to A. Comparing Expt 2 and 3: When [CN ] increased to 1.2 times while [H +] and [ A] were unchanged, initial rate of formation of B increased to 1.2 times. The reaction is first order with respect to CN. 3aiii Rate = k[A][CN] 3aiv Since H+ does not appear in rate equation, it is not in volved in slow/r.d. step. / Only 1 CN - and 1 A is involved in the r.d.s/slow step as indi cated by their order of reaction in the rate equation.

The equilibrium position shifted to the left to absorb some of the energy. Since increased in temperature favours endothermic reaction , the forward reaction is exothermic. 3ciii Propanol is very volatile/ evaporates rapidly at higher temperature. (The equilibrium position is shift to the left to replenish some of the propanol lost. Therefore, a smaller proportion of ibuprofen reacted to form ester.) 3civ In the original experiment, t he equilibrium position is shift to the left to consume some of the water added. Therefore, a smaller proportion ibuprofen reacted in the original experiment. KOH (aq), an alkali, neutralized some of the sulfuric acid which is the catalyst for the reaction. Equilibrium is established at a slow rate/less negative gradient than the original.
