2 © Raffles Institution 2022 9729/S/22 [Turn Over Section A (15 marks) For each question there are four possible answers, A, B, C, and D. Choose the one you consider to be correct. 1 An equimolar mixture of CS2 and H2S is completely burned in excess oxygen. What will be the SO2 : CO2 mole ratio in the mixture obtained after complete combustion? A 1 : 1 B 2 : 1 C 3 : 1 D 4: 1 2 Use of the Data Booklet is relevant to this question. An ion has • a nucleon number of 267, • 60 more neutrons than electrons, • an atomic number of 104, 105, 106 or 107. What could this ion be? A Rf2+ B Db3+ C Sg4+ D Bh5+ 3 The ionisation energies (I.E.), in kJ mol–1, of five elements are given in the table. 3rd I.E. 4th I.E. 5th I.E. O 5320 7450 10990 F 6040 8410 11023 Ne 6150 9290 12177 Na 6940 9540 13354 Mg 7740 10500 13636 Which statement is correct? A The 3rd I.E. of Na is higher than that of Ne because Na2+ has one more shell than Ne2+. B The 4th I.E. of the above elements involves the removal of an electron from the same sub-shell. C The 5th I.E. of F is higher than that of O because F 4+ has more outer shell electrons than O4+. D The successive I.E. of these elements increase because the nuclear charge increases.

Which row is correct? molecule molecular shape polarity A nitrogen trifluoride trigonal planar polar B difluoromethane tetrahedral non-polar C sulfur dioxide linear polar D phosphorus pentachloride trigonal bipyramidal non-polar 5 Which statements are correct? 1 NaHF2 forms hydrogen bonds with water molecules. 2 H2O2 forms more extensive hydrogen bonds than N2H2. 3 SF4 molecules form permanent dipole –permanent dipole interactions with polar molecules. 4 The interactions between CH3(CH2)17OH molecules are predominantly instantaneous dipole–induced dipole interactions. A 1, 2 and 3 are correct. B 2, 3 and 4 are correct. C 1 and 2 are correct. D 3 and 4 are correct. This document is copyrighted, please do not reproduce it without permission

Under the se experimental conditions, the gas exhibits deviation from ideal gas behaviour. Which graph correctly describes the behaviour of the gas? A B C D 7 In an experiment to measure the enthalpy change of neutralisation for the reaction between H2SO4 and NaOH, 20 cm 3 of a solution containing 0.04 mol of H 2SO4 is placed in a plastic cup of negligible heat capacity. A 20 cm3 sample containing 0.04 mol of NaOH, at the same initial temperature, is added and the temperature rises by 14 K. If the specific heat capacity of the final solution is 4.2 J K–1 cm–3, what is the enthalpy change of neutralisation for the reaction between H2SO4 and NaOH? A −2.35 kJ mol−1 B −29.4 kJ mol−1 C −58.8 kJ mol−1 D −118 kJ mol−1 T / K pV T / K pV T / K pV T / K pV This document is copyrighted, please do not reproduce it without permission

6 © Raffles Institution 2022 9729/S/22 [Turn Over 10 The kinetics of the acid-catalysed reaction between propanone and iodine CH3COCH3(aq) + I2(aq) ⎯→ CH2ICOCH3(aq) + HI(aq) can be investigated experimentally by varying the concentrations of the three substances involved and determining the time for the colour of the iodine to disappear. In this method, the rate of reaction is measured in terms of the rate at which the iodine concentration changes. The following results were obtained in a series of experiments. experiment volume of propanone / cm3 volume of iodine / cm3 volume of sulfuric acid / cm3 volume of water / cm3 time taken for iodine colour to disappear / s 1 8 4 8 0 1 2 8 2 8 2 0.5 3 4 4 8 4 2 4 8 8 2 2 8 Which conclusions can be drawn from the results? 1 The rate constant has units of mol−1 dm3 s−1. 2 The rate equation is rate = k[propanone][iodine]. 3 The rate of reaction for experiment 2 is the fastest. A 1 only B 3 only C 1 and 3 only D 1, 2 and 3 H+ This document is copyrighted, please do not reproduce it without permission
