2018 HCI C2 H2 Chemistry Preliminary Exam / Paper 2 Paper 2 1 (a) 1. Thermal stability decreases from H–F to H– I [1] 2. Quote bond energy data:H–F +562 > H–C l +431 > H–Br +366 > H–I +299 kJ mol–1 and state that this H–X bond is broken during thermal decomposition. [1] (b) (i) It is the heat released when 1 mol of gaseous F – is dissolved in an infinite volume of water (or completely dissolved in water) at 298 K and 1 bar.

1 (c) (i) The hydrogen bond is formed because: 1. there is a H atom bonded to the highly electronegat ive F atom of one HF molecule [1] 2. and there is a lone pair on the F atom of another HF molecule [1] (ii) 1. label δ+ δ– for the HF molecule that provides the protonic H 2. hydrogen bond link H δ+ atom of one HF molecule to lone pair on F atom of the second HF molecule 3. label H–F coval ent bond 0.092 nm 4. label hydrogen bond 0.163 nm [½] each (d) [1] (e) (i) 1. Reaction between N 2 and H2 gives fewer number of moles of gases (from 4 mol of gases to 2 mol) or fewer gas molecules [1] 2. Number of ways to distribute particl es and/or energy decreases, disorder decreases. Hence entropy decreases [1] (ii) [1] (iii) N 2(g) + 3H 2(g) = 2NH3(g) initial mol 1 3 0 change –0.2 –0.2×3 +0.2×2 eqm mol 0.8 2.4 0.4 Sum=3.6 eqm partial pressure 0.8/3.6 ×20 = 4.44 2.4/3.6 ×20 = 13.33 0.4/3.6 ×20 = 2.22 K p = (2.22)2 4.44(13.33)3 = 4.69 × 10–4 MPa–2 [1] for all three equilibrium partial pressures [1] for Kp value (allow ecf from partial pressures) [1] for Kp units
