Nowadays, its main use is to harden and to strengthen lead alloys. A typical sample of antimony consists of two isotopes and has the following composition by mass: 121Sb, 57.25%, 123Sb, 42.75%. (a) (i) Calculate the relative atomic mass of the antimony sample. (ii) Define the term relative atomic mass. [3] Antimony is produced in two–stage process from the sulphide ore, Sb2S3. The ore is first roasted in oxygen to form the oxide. 2Sb2S3(s) + 9O2(g) Sb4O6(s) + 6SO2(g) The oxide is then reduced with carbon. Sb4O6(s) + 3C(s) 4Sb(s) + 3CO2(g) (b) Showing your working clearly, calculat e the volume of ca rbon dioxide that would be produced by the processing of 3400 g of Sb 2S3. [Assume that 1 mole of gas occupies 24 dm3 under experimental conditions.] [3] [Total: 6]

5 (b) Two elements form chlorides with formulae of the type XC l3. Draw the dot– and–cross diagram for these two chlori des, state the shapes and suggest values for the bond angles. [4] (c) (i) One element form chloride of the type YC l 2 which reacts with water to give a slightly acidic solution. Name t he element, and account for the pH value of YCl2 in water. Write a balanced equation to illustrate your answer. (ii) One element forms a chloride of the type ZC l 4, which reacts with water to give a strongly acidic solution. Na me the element a nd write a balanced equation for the chloride reacting with water. [5] [Total: 11] [Turn over
6 4 Oseltamivir (Tamiflu) is an antiviral drug th at slows the spread of non–resistant strains of the influenza virus between cells in the body. It blocks the action of a viral enzyme called neuraminidase and has si nce been indicated for the treatment of H5N1 and H1N1 infection. The st andard adult dosage is 75 mg twice daily. Compound Z is a derivative of oseltamivir t hat maybe investigated for antiviral activities.
