5 [TURN OVER 2 Organic matter is known to decay under low oxygen conditions, such as in swamps. The sulfate- reducing bacteria present in the organic matter will reduce the various sulfates into hydrogen sulfide, H 2S. Some of the hydrogen sulfide will react with Fe 2+ present in swamp to produce insoluble FeS, which is responsible for the brown colour of sludge in the swamp. reaction 1 H2S(g) + aq ⇌ 2H+(aq) + S2–(aq) reaction 2 Fe2+(aq) + S2–(aq) ⇌ FeS(s) Hꝋppt (a) (i) In a saturated solution of hydrogen sulfide, [H +]2[S2–] is 1.0 × 10–23 mol3 dm–9. Calculate the maximum concentration of sulfide ions present in the swamp, given that the pH of swamp water is 6.8. [1] (ii) Hence, calculate the minimum concentration of Fe 2+ in the swamp required for the precipitation of FeS. (Ksp of FeS = 4.9 × 10–18 mol2 dm–6) [1]
6 [TURN OVER (iii) Gꝋppt, can be determined by using the following expression , where R is the molar gas constant and T is the temperature measured in K. Gꝋppt = 2.303RT lg Ksp Using the Ksp in (a)(ii), calculate Gꝋppt for the precipitation of FeS. Express your answer in kJ molꟷ1. [2] (iv) Predict how the brown colour intensity of sludge will change when pH decreases. Explain your answer.

7 [TURN OVER (b) Using data from Table 2 below, together with relevant data from the Data Booklet, draw an energy cycle and calculate Hꝋppt for reaction 2. Table 2 standard enthalpy change of formation of FeS(s) –102 kJ mol–1 standard enthalpy change of atomisation of Fe(s) +415 kJ mol–1 standard enthalpy change of atomisation of S(s) +279 kJ mol–1 sum of first and second electron affinity of sulfur +337 kJ mol–1 standard enthalpy change of hydration of Fe2+(g) –1970 kJ mol–1 standard enthalpy change of hydration of S2–(g) –1372 kJ mol–1 [4]
8 [TURN OVER (c) (i) Use your answers in (a)(iii) and (b), calculate the Spptꝋ for the formation of FeS precipitate. [1] (ii) Hence, explain the significance of the sign of Spptꝋ in (c)(i). [1] …………………………………………………………………………………………. …………………………………………………………………………………………. (d) Although hydrogen sulfide and water molecules have the same shape, they have slightly different bond angle s. State and explain which species has a larger bond angle.
