You may use each substance once, more than once or not at all. iodine ozone dichloroethane magnesium potassium manganate(VII) copper(II) sulfate calcium chloride diamond (a) Which substance is a good reducing agent? ………………………………………………………………………………………… [1] (b) Which substance can be formed under ultraviolet radiation conditions? ………………………………………………………………………………………… [1] (c) Which substance exists as three different colours when the physical state is changed? ………………………………………………………………………………………… [1] (d) Which two substances can react to undergo a redox reaction? ………………………………………………………………………………………… [1] (e) Which substances are elements? ………………………………………………………………………………………… [1] [Total: 5]
3 A2 Lithium is a metal with low melting point and low density. It can react with cold water to form lithium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. (a) Write a chemical equation for the reaction of lithium with cold water. ………………………………………………………………………………………… [1] (b) Given that 0.2 g of lithium metal was used in the reaction with an excess of cold water, determine the volume of hydrogen gas produced. [2] (c) Describe how you can determine that the reaction has reached completion. ………………………………………………………………………………………………. ………………………………………………………………………………………… [1] [Total: 4] A3 Hydrochloric acid reacts with methanol to form chloromethane and water in the equation as shown. HCl(aq) + CH3OH(aq) → CH3Cl(g) + H2O(l) (a) Briefly describe a practical method by which the concentration of hydrochloric acid can be determined in a sample. ………………………………………………………………………………………………. ………………………………………………………………………………………………. ………………………………………………………………………………………………. ………………………………………………………………………………………………. ………………………………………………………………………………………………. ………………………………………………………………………………………………. ………………………………………………………………………………………………. ………………………………………………………………………………………………. ………………………………………………………………………………………………. ………………………………………………………………………………………… [3]
4 (b) Fig. 3.1 shows how the concentration of hydrochloric acid changes as the reaction proceeds. Fig. 3.1 (i) Deduce the concentration of hydrochloric acid 4 hours from the start of the experiment. concentration = …………………. mol/dm3 [1] (ii) With reference to the graph in Fig. 3.1, explain clearly whether hydrochloric acid or methanol is the limiting reactant. ………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………. [2] (iii) Explain why point A in Fig. 3.1 has the fastest rate of reaction. …………………………………………………………………………………. [1]
5 (iv) Enriq thinks that the average rate of the reaction can be determined by the formula as shown: rate at point A + rate at point B + rate at point C + rate at point D 4 Do you agree with Enriq? Explain your answer. ………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………. [2] (c) The rate of formation of chloromethane and water can be changed by altering some conditions. (i) Draw on Fig. 3.1, the curve that you would expect if the experiment w as repeated with hydrochloric acid at a higher temperature. [1] (ii) Use ideas about collisions between particles to describe and explain how the rate of a reaction changes when the concentration of hydrochloric acid is increased. ………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………. [2] (iii) Use kinetic particle theory to explain why increasing the pressure of the reaction chamber has little or no effect on the rate of reaction. ………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………. [2] [Total: 14]
6 A4 Hydrogen is an important source of fuel as it burns cleanly and has a high energy content per unit mass. Hydrogen can be produced from the steam-methane reforming reaction shown in Step 1. Step 1: CH4(g) + H2O(g) ⇌ CO(g) + 3H2(g) H = +206 kJ/mol The carbon monoxide produced can undergo water -gas shift reaction to produce more hydrogen shown in Step 2. Step 2: CO(g) + H2O(g) ⇌ CO2(g) + H2(g) H = −41.0 kJ/mol (a) Based on Step 1 and Step 2 , w rite the overall equation for the production of hydrogen gas. Include the overall enthalpy change. ………………………………………………………………………………………… [2] (b) Give two reasons why it is better to produce hydrogen using both steps of the reaction in (a) than using Step 1 alone. Explain your answer clearly. ………………………………………………………………………………………………. ………………………………………………………………………………………………. ………………………………………………………………………………………………. ………………………………………………………………………………………………. ………………………………………………………………………………………… [4] (c) Another method of hydrogen production is through the electrolysis of pure water as shown. 2H2O(l) → O2(g) + 2H2(g) H = +484 kJ/mol However, this electrolytic process takes place very slowly. Explain why the reaction takes place very slowly and suggest a modification to make the reaction proceed faster. explanation …………………………………………….………………………………….. ………………………………………………………………………………………………. modification ..…………………………….………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………… [2] [Total: 8]
7 A5 The diagram shows two organic molecules, A and B which can undergo polymerisation. A B (a) State the type(s) of polymerisation that both molecules can undergo. molecule A .…………………………………………….………………………………….. molecule B …………………………………………………………………………... [2] (b) Draw the structure of two repeating units when molecule A undergoes polymerisation. [1] (c) Suggest why polymers made from molecule B show a wider range of properties than polymers made from molecule A. ………………………………………………………………………………………………. ………………………………………………………………………………………………. ………………………………………………………………………………………… [2] [Total: 5] A6 Ethanol can be manufactured by the hydration of steam with ethene and the fermentation of glucose solution. Table 6.1 shows a comparison of b
