2 1 The diagrams show four different methods of collecting gases. Which method is suitable for collecting a gas which has the properties described? method for collecting gas properties of gas A 1 less dense than air and soluble in water B 2 denser than air and soluble in water C 3 less dense than air and soluble in water D 4 denser than air and insoluble in water 2 A mixture of three liquids is separated by fractional distillation in the school laboratory. Which two statements are correct? 1 A pure sample of each liquid can be obtained after separation. 2 The mixture boils at constant temperature throughout the separation. 3 The three liquids are miscible with each other. 4 The three liquids are collected at the same time at different parts of the fractionating column. A 1 and 3 B 1 and 4 C 2 and 3 D 2 and 4 1 2 3 4

The student is given a balance and three sets of apparatus shown. Which sets of apparatus are suitable for his investigation? A 1, 2 and 3 B 1 and 3 only C 2 and 3 only D 2 only 4 Which substance should be pure for the intended use? A a drug for curing diseases B aluminium for making airplane bodies C petrol for car fuels D tap water for human consumption metal tongs metal tongs magnesium burning magnesium air heat magnesium heat tripod crucible 1 2 3

4 5 P and Q are all samples of colourless alcohols. A paper chromatogram is obtained for samples of P and Q. Which row is correct? statement 1 statement 2 A A locating agent was used. P may be a pure substance. B A locating agent was used. P must be a pure substance. C No locating agent was used. Q contains a substance that is least soluble in the solvent used. D No locating agent was used. Q contains a substance that is most soluble in the solvent used. P Q

5 [Turn over 6 Substance Y is added to an excess of hot water. A blue solution forms and a brown solid remains. The brown solid is filtered off and dried. The brown solid conducts electricity. Which statement about the substance Y, the blue solution, or the brown solid is incorrect? A Substance Y may be a mixture which contains a metal. B Substance Y may contain copper(II) carbonate. C The blue solution must be an impure substance. D The brown solid may be an impure substance. 7 P is a white powdery solid. When a small spatula of P was added to a boiling tube filled with distilled water, P dissolved to form a blue solution. The blue solution was divided into two separate test-tubes. In the first test -tube, a blue precipitate was formed on dropwise addition of aqueous ammonia which dissolved in excess to form a deep-blue solution. In the second test-tube, a white precipitate was formed on addition of an equal volume of acidified aqueous barium nitrate. The mixture was filtered and the filtrate crystallised to obtain solid Q. What is P and Q? P Q A barium sulfate barium sulfate B barium sulfate copper(II) nitrate C copper(II) sulfate barium sulfate D copper(II) sulfate copper(II) nitrate

Mixture L was then added to 150 cm3 of 0.05 mol/dm3 sodium iodide in a beaker. 1.18 g of precipitate was formed. What is the concentration of silver nitrate present in mixture L? A 0.065 mol/dm3 B 0.100 mol/dm3 C 0.150 mol/dm3 D 0.200 mol/dm3 9 Which diagram shows the arrangement of the outermost electrons in calcium fluoride? A B C D

7 [Turn over 10 Part of the giant lattice structure of an ionic compound is shown. The structure repeats to make a giant lattice. Which statement is incorrect? A The ions are held by strong electrostatic forces of attraction. B The lattice structure is broken down when this ionic compound dissolves in water. C There are three anions directly surrounding each cation in the giant lattice. D This lattice structure could resemble that of calcium oxide. 11 Which statement about the structure or bonding of metals is correct? A A metal lattice consists of negative ions in a ‘sea of electrons’. B Electrons in a metal move randomly through the lattice. C Metals are malleable because the ions present are mobile. D The ions in a metal move when positive and negative electrodes are attached. 12 The apparatus shown is set up to plate a steel key with copper. The steel key does not get plated with copper. What is the minimum number of changes that needs to be made to plate the key with copper? A 1 B 2 C 3 D 4 cation anion aqueous silver nitrate impure copper steel key
