Choose the one you consider to be correct. 1 The use of Data Booklet is relevant to this question. Peroxodisulfate ions convert iodide ions into iodine slowly. S2O8 2–(aq) + 2I–(aq)  2SO4 2–(aq) + I2(aq) The rate of the reaction can be increased by the addition of catalysts such as aqueous iron(III) ions. A possible catalyst reaction pathway involves the following steps: Step 1 2Fe3+(aq) + 2I–(aq)  2Fe2+(aq) aq) + I2(aq) Step 2 S2O8 2–(aq) + 2Fe2+(aq) aq)  2Fe3+(aq) + 2SO4 2–(aq) Which of the following statements is incorrect? A Fe2+ is a stronger reducing agent than I–. B S2O8 2– is a stronger oxidising agent than Fe3+. C The E cell for step 2 is more positive than step 1. D Aqueous cobalt(II) ions can be used as a catalyst for this reaction. 2 0.5 g of zinc powder was found to reduce an acidified solution of 25.50 cm 3 of 0.200 mol dm–3 VO2 +. Which one of the following is the reduced product of VO2 +? A VO3 – B VO2+ C V3+ D V2+

A B C D 4 The interhalogen compound BrF3 is a volatile liquid which autoionises as follows. 2BrF3 BrF2 + + BrF4 – The electrical conductivity of BrF3 decreases with increasing temperature. Which one of the following statement is correct? A The autoionisation process is endothermic and the shape of the anion is square planar. B The autoionisation process is exothermic and the shape of the cation is linear. C The autoionisation process is endothermic and the shape of the anion is tetrahedral.
