2 Setters: FKD/JK Chemistry Paper 2 Section A (40 marks) Answer all questions. Write your answers in the spaces provided. A1 Group 17 elements show trends in their melting points and boiling points. Table 1 element melting point/oC boiling point/ oC chlorine 101 35 bromine 7 59 iodine 114 184 (a) The change in temperature against time graph for bromine is represented in Figure 1. Figure 1 (i) State the process occurring at point DE. Hence, explain why temperature remained unchanged. [3] Temperature Time A B C D E F
3 Setters: FKD/JK Chemistry Paper 2 [Turn Over (ii) Describe the arrangement and movement of the particles at point A. [2] (b) Describe and explain the trend in boiling point down the group 17 elements. [3] Total [8]
4 Setters: FKD/JK Chemistry Paper 2 A2 The radii of atoms and ions can be measured. Table 2 shows information about atomic radii and ionic radii of some of the group 1 elements. Table 2 element number of protons electronic configuration of atom atomic radius/pm electronic configuration of +1 ion ionic radius/pm lithium 3 2.1 152 2 68 sodium 11 2.8.1 185 98 potassium 19 2.8.8.1 227 133 (1 000 000 000 000pm = 1m) (a) Complete the table to show the electronic configuration in the ions of Group 1. [1] (b) (i) Describe and explain the trend in atomic radii down Group 1. [3] (ii) Describe and e xplain the change in the radius when a lithium atom form s a lithium ion. [2]
5 Setters: FKD/JK Chemistry Paper 2 [Turn Over (c) (i) The group 1 elements react with water vigorously. Write an equation to illustrate the reaction between lithium and water. State symbols are not required. [1] (ii) Using the data for atomic radius given in Table 2, suggest the relationship between reactivity and atomic radii of the Group 1 elements. [2] Total [9]
6 Setters: FKD/JK Chemistry Paper 2 A3 When aqueous ammonia is added to an aqueous solution of an aluminium salt, a precipitate is formed as an amorphous gelatinous mass. When dried, this precipitate forms a white crystalline compound called boehmite, consisting of Al, O and H atoms. A 100g sample of boehmite was found to contain 53.3g of oxygen a toms and 1.7g of hydrogen atoms have the following composition by mass: Al, 45.0%; O, 53.3%; H, 1.7%. (a) Calculate the mass of aluminium atoms present in the sample. [1] (b) (i) Show, with calculations, that the empirical formula of boehmite is AlO2H. [2] (ii) The formation of boehmite from aluminium ions and hydroxide produces water as a by-product. Write a balanced ionic equation, with state symbols, for the formation of boehmite and its by-products from aluminium ions and hydroxide ions. [2]
7 Setters: FKD/JK Chemistry Paper 2 [Turn Over (c) Aluminium metal can be found in metal ores which may also contain zinc impurities. The reaction of a sample of these ores with nitric acid results in the formation of a solution containing these metal ions. Describe a test and the results that can be used to distinguish between the two ions in a solution. Test: Observation for Al3+: Observation for Zn2+: [3] (d) Metallic aluminium is very reactive with atmospheric oxygen to form a thin layer of aluminium oxide, Al2O3, which is resistant to corrosion. In the space below, draw the “dot and cross” diagram of aluminium oxide. [2] Total [10]
8 Setters: FKD/JK Chemistry Paper 2 A4 25.0 cm 3 of diluted hydrogen peroxide solution , FA2 , completely reacts with 22.50 cm3 of 0.0200 mol dm−3 acidified potassium manganate(VII) solution. The ionic equation for the reaction is given below. 2MnO4(aq)+ 5H2O2 (aq) + 6H+ (aq) 2Mn2(aq) + 5O2 (g) + 8H2O (l) (a) Calculate the number of moles of manganate ions, MnO 4- required to react with 25.0 cm3 of diluted H2O2, FA2. [1] (b) Calculate the number of moles of H2O2 present in 25.0 cm3 of FA2. [1] (c) Hence, calculate the number of moles of H2O2 present in 500 cm3 of FA2. [1]
9 Setters: FKD/JK Chemistry Paper 2 [Turn Over (d) FA2 solution is prepared by diluting FA1 which contains hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, of an unknown concentration. 12.50 cm3 of FA1 was diluted to a final total volume of 500 cm 3 with distilled water to prepare FA2. Given that the number of moles of H2O2 present in 500 cm3 of FA2 is equivalent to the number of moles in 12.5 cm 3 of H2O2 in FA1, calculate the concentration of H 2O2 in FA1. [1] Total [4]
10 Setters: FKD/JK Chemistry Paper 2 A5 Some tests were carried on a blue solution that contains 2 unknown cations and 2 anions. The flowchart below shows the tests conducted on the solution.
