Q

Identify the diagram in the figure below that shows the correct relative sizes of the ions in sodium fluoride.
Justify your answer.

A

B
Both Na+ and F– same electron arrangement
Sodium (ion) has more protons so attracts (outer) electrons closer

Q

Some of the liquid injected did not evaporate because it dripped into the gas syringe nozzle outside the oven.
Explain how this would affect the value of the Mr of Y calculated from the experimental results.

17
Q

The student rinsed the burette before filling it with the sodium hydroxide solution.
State why the student should use sodium hydroxide solution rather than water for the final rinse of the burette.

A

use of water would dilute the NaOH OR
use of water would change the concentration of NaOH OR
to ensure the concentration of the NaOH is not changed OR

Q

Copper can be produced from rock that contains CuFeS2
(b) Suggest two reasons why the sulfur dioxide by-product of this process is
removed from the exhaust gases.
Reason 1
Reason 2

A
  • Prevents acid rain
  • Toxic OR causes breathing problems
  • Reduces waste product
  • Reduces need for sulfur mining

21
Q

The student used a wash bottle containing deionised water when
approaching the end-point to rinse the inside of the conical flask.
Explain why this improved the accuracy of the titration.

A

Idea that it ensures all ethanedioic acid / reactants are in the mixture / solution / reaction or the idea that
some of the ethanedioic acid/ reactants would be on the sides of the flask

22
Q

(c) Give the meaning of the term concordant titres.

A

Titres that are within 0.1 cm3 of each other

23
Q

Suggest a reason, other than apparatus inaccuracy, why the Mr value determined from the experimental results differs from the actual Mr. Explain your answer.

A

M1 The volume of the gas in the syringe (V) is greater than the true volume (because some air leaked into the syringe)

24
Q

Safety precaution
Reason

A

Carry out in a fume cupboard
To avoid toxic vapour

  1. Fill up a burette with acid.
  2. Use a pipette to add alkali to a conical flask.
  3. Add an indicator to the alkali.
  4. Slowly add the acid into the alkali. swirling constantly to ensure the reactants mix well.
  5. Slow the adding of acid when the indicator changes colour.
  6. Stop adding acid when there is a permanent colour change.
  7. Record the titre.
  8. Repeat the titration. The titration is repeated until concordant (within 0.1 cm³) titres are obtained.
