3 Raffles Institution 2022 9729/J/22 [Turn Over 4 The 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th ionisation energies of four consecutive elements in the Periodic Table, W, X, Y and Z, are shown in the table below. W, X, Y and Z have atomic numbers less than 20. element 5th ionisation energy / kJ mol–1 6th ionisation energy / kJ mol–1 7th ionisation energy / kJ mol–1 8th ionisation energy / kJ mol–1 W 16 091 19 805 23 780 29 287 X 6274 21 267 25 431 29 872 Y 7004 8496 27 107 31 719 Z 6542 9362 11 018 33 604 Which element has the highest first ionisation energy? A W B X C Y D Z 5 J is an ionic compound comprising one polyatomic cation and a number of monoatomic anions. The cation has an overall charge of 2+, and contains platinum at an oxidation state of +4. The platinum is attached, via co-ordinate bonds (dative covalent bonds), to six other species which can be NH3 or Cl–. What is the formula of J? A Pt(NH3)4Cl2 B Pt(NH3)4Cl4 C Pt(NH3)6Cl2 D Pt(NH3)6Cl4 6 In the year 2000, argon fluorohydride, HArF, was synthesised as follows. Ar + HF ⎯→ HArF Which statement regarding the above molecules is correct? A HArF has a trigonal bipyramidal shape. B HF is non-polar as it is a linear molecule.

4 Raffles Institution 2022 9729/J/22 [Turn Over 7 The boiling points of three gases are given below. CH4 PH3 NH3 boiling point / C −161.5 –87.7 –77.7 Which statements are incorrect? 1 PH3 has a higher boiling point than CH4 because strong hydrogen bonds exist between PH3 molecules. 2 CH4 has a lower boiling point than NH3 because the CH4 molecule has fewer electrons than the NH3 molecule. 3 NH3 has a higher boiling point than PH 3 because NH 3 has stronger instantaneous dipole–induced dipole interactions than PH3. A 1, 2 and 3 B 1 and 2 C 1 and 3 D 2 and 3 8 The melting point of barium, 727 C, is much higher than the melting point of potassium, 63.5 C. Which statement is most relevant in explaining this difference? A The barium atom is larger than the potassium atom. B The barium atom is heavier than the potassium atom. C The barium ion, Ba2+, has a higher charge than the potassium ion, K+. D The barium ion, Ba2+, contains more electrons than the potassium ion, K+. 9 A piece of dry ice (solid CO2) weighing 4.40 g is placed in a 1.00 dm3 rigid bottle filled with air at 1 bar. The bottle is capped and the dry ice sublimes into gas. Given that the temperature is kept constant at 90.0 C, what is the final pressure, in bar, inside the bottle? [You may ignore the volume occupied by the solid dry ice.] A 1.31 B 1.75 C 3.98 D 4.02 This document is copyrighted, please do not reproduce it without permission
