B Ice has a lower density than water at 0oC. C The boiling point of alcohol increases with increasing molecular mass. D 2-nitrophenol has a lower boiling point than 4-nitrophenol. 6 In the presence of hydrochloric acid, potassium iodate( V), KIO3, reacts with iodine, I2, to form ICl2 –. What is the ratio of IO3 – to I2 in the balanced chemical equation for the overall reaction? A 2 : 1 B 1 : 4 C 1 : 1 D 1 : 2 7 Dicarbon monoxide, C 2O, is found in dust clouds in space. Analysis of it shows that the sequence of atoms in this molecule is C – C – O. All bonds are double bonds and there are no unpaired electrons. How many lone pairs of electrons are present in a molecule of C2O? A 1 B 2 C 3 D 4
4 2015 TJC H1 Chemistry Preliminary Examinations [Turn over 8 Use of Data Booklet is relevant to this question. An industrial method for manufacturing ethanol involves passing e thanol vapour and air over a heated copper catalyst. CH3CH2OH + ½ O2 CH3CHO + H2O What will be the enthalpy change for this reaction? A - 430 kJ mol-1 B - 344 kJ mol-1 C - 182 kJ mol-1 D + 278 kJ mol-1 9 Use of Data Booklet is relevant to this question. Propane burns exothermically in air as follows. CH3CH2CH3(g) + 5O2(g) 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(l) H = -2200 kJ mol-1 0.05 moles of propane from the burner was used to heat 0.9 dm 3 of water.

5 2015 TJC H1 Chemistry Preliminary Examinations [Turn over 11 Sulfur dioxide is converted to sulfur trioxide in the Contact process as shown by the equation below. 2SO2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2SO3 (g) To investigate the reaction, two experiments were conducted. Experiment 1: Quantities of SO2 and O 2 were placed in a sealed vessel and the reaction was allowed to proceed at a constant temperature. Experiment 2: The experiment was repeated at a different temperature using quantities of reactants same as experiment 1. The graph below shows the amount of SO2 present in the mixture. These results show that experiment 2 was conducted at a A higher temperature and the forward reaction is endothermic. B lower temperature and the forward reaction is endothermic. C higher temperature and the forward reaction is exothermic. D lower temperature and the forward reaction is exothermic. 12 Steam reforming process is the most common method for industrial production of hydrogen. CH4(g) + H2O(g) ⇌ CO(g) + 3H2(g) The value of K c is found to be 5.27 for this reaction when 0.65 mol of methane is mixed with 0.30 mol of steam in a 1 dm3 vessel.
