You are advised to spend not more than one hour on this section. 1 Ethanedioic acid, is a dibasic, organic acid with the formula HO 2CCO2H. It is commonly found in many leafy vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds. It is able to react with a base such as sodium hydroxide, NaOH. (a) FA 1 is a solution containing 5.00 g dm–3 of a similar dibasic, organic acid, HO2C(CH2)nCO2H. When 25.0 cm 3 of FA 1 is titrated against NaOH of co ncentration 0.125 mol dm–3, 17.00 cm3 of NaOH is required. The equation for this reaction is given as follows. HO2C(CH2)nCO2H(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) → Na2(O2C(CH2)nCO2) (aq) + 2H2O(l) (i) Calculate the amount in moles of NaOH required to react with 25.0 cm 3 of the acid solution in FA 1. [1] (ii) Calculate the amount in moles of the dibasic acid, HO2C(CH2)nCO2H in 25.0 cm3 of FA 1 that has reacted. [1] (iii) Calculate the concentration of the acid, HO2C(CH2)nCO2H in mol dm-3 of solution in FA 1. [1] (iv) Hence, determine the value of n in the formula of the acid, HO2C(CH2)nCO2H. [1]

It can be oxidised by acidified KMnO4 to carbon dioxide, when heated to 60°C. When a 25.0 cm 3 sample of ethanedioic acid is titrated against acidified KMnO 4 of concentration 0.0200 mol dm−3, 23.00 cm3 of KMnO4 is required. (i) Derive a balanced half -equation for the oxidation of ethanedioic acid to carbon dioxide in acidic conditions. ……………………………………………………………………………………………..[1] (ii) By reference to the relevant half-equation from the Data Booklet for the reduction of acidified MnO 4−, derive an overall balanced equation for the reaction between ethanedioic acid and acidified manganate(VII) ion, MnO4−. [1] (iii) Hence, calculate the amount in moles of the acid, HO2CCO2H (or H2C2O4) reacted and subsequently its concentration in mol dm−3. [2] [Total: 8]

A canister was connected to a gas syringe and the valve opened to allow some of the gas into the syringe. It was found that 0.300 g of gas took up 144.0 cm 3 at temperature of 24°C and pressure of 1.02 x 105 Pa. Calculate the average Mr of the gas mixture assuming it behaves ideally. [3] [Total: 3] 4 Nitroglycerin, C 3H5(NO3)3, is a flammable liquid commonly used to manufacture dynamite. Upon ignition, nitroglycerin decomposes to produce nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and steam. Given: Standard enthalpy change of formation of nitroglycerin(l) / kJ mol–1 –364 Standard enthalpy change of formation of H2O(g) / kJ mol–1 –242 Standard enthalpy change of formation of CO2(g) / kJ mol–1 –394 (a) Write a balanced equation, with state symbols, for the decomposition of 1 mol of liquid nitroglycerin. [1] (b) With reference to the above data, calculate the standard enthalpy change of decomposition of 1 mol of nitroglycerin. [1]

Pent-2-ene is one of the isomers of pentene and has the following formula: CH3CH=CHCH2CH3 (a) Draw and label clearly the two different structural formulae of pent-2-ene that show cis- trans isomerism. [2] One constitutional isomer of pent -2-ene is 1,2 -dimethylcyclopropane, which consists of a cyclopropane ring substituted with two methyl groups attached to adjacent carbon atoms. Due to restricted ring rotation, cis
