2 River Valley High School 9729/02/PRELIMS/21 2021 Preliminary Examination 1 In recent years, there has been worldwide interest in the possible extraction of “shale gas” (a form of natural gas) as an important energy source. (a) One of the problems associated with using shale gas is its variable composition. Table 1 .1 shows the percentage composition of shale gas from four different sources J, K, L and M. Table 1.1 source CH4 C2Hx C3Hy CO2 N2 J 80.3 8.1 2.3 1.4 7.9 K 82.1 14.0 3.5 0.1 0.3 L 88.0 0.8 0.7 10.4 0.1 M 77.5 4.0 0.9 3.3 14.3 In the formulae above, x and y are variables. (i) Draw the structures of three possible hydrocarbons w ith 3 carbon atoms. [3] (ii) State the source of shale gas, J, K, L or M, that will likely provide the most energy when completely burned. Explain your answer. ……………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………… [1] (iii) Suggest a method by which carbon dioxide can be removed from shale gas. ……………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………… [1]

Water, sand and chemicals are injected into the rock at high pressure which allows the gas to flow out to the head of the well. Magnesium hydroxide is one of the chemicals that can be used to control pH. The equation for the formation of the gaseous hydroxide ion is shown. 1 2H2(g) + 1 2O2(g) + e–  OH–(g) H = Hf (OH–(g)) Use
