Q

SUGGEST WHY THE ENTHALPY OF HYDRATION of Ca2+ is less exothermic than Mg2+

A

Ca2+ ion bigger , there is a lower charge to size ratio, weaker attraction to Od- in water

Q

Give an equation including state symbols for the reaction of sodium with water, suggest why it is dangerous to react a similar piece of sodium with a lot more water in a boiling tube

A

2Na(s) + 2H2O(l) —> 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)
Temperature will go up more causing reactants to shoot out or explode

Q

Explain in terms of crystal structure and bonding, why silicon oxide has a higher melting point than phosphorous oxide

A

SiO2 is macromolecular with strong covalent bonds between atoms or covalent bonds need a lot of energy to be overcome
P4O10 is molecular or simple covalent with weak induced dipole dipoles between molecules- require little energy to overcome

Q

2SO2 + O2 = 2SO3
State and explain the effect of a decrease in overall pressure of the equilibrium yield of SO3

Q

Explain why the value of Kw increases as temperature increases

A

Forward reaction is endothermic, equilibrium shifts to the right to oppose increase in temperature so concentration of H+ increases

Q

Name the type of compound shown by formula RCOOK ans state its use

A

Carboxylic salt- soap

17
Q

Suggest why aqueous ethanol is a suitable solvent when heating the coconut oil with KOH, give a safety precaution used when heating the mixture

A

It dissolves both oil and KOH
Use a water bath as ethanol is flammable

18
Q

State the meaning of fraction as used in the term petrol fraction

A

Group of hydrocarbons with similar boiling point

19
Q

Give a reason why carbon dioxide absorbs infrared radiation

A

Vibrate at the same frequency as IR

20
Q

Bioethanol is used as an alternative to fossil fuels
Evaluate the statement: “the fact that bioethanol is a carbon-neutral fuel outweighs the environmental disadvantages of producing bioethanol”

A

Photosynthesis: 6CO2 + 6H2O —> C6H2O6 + 6O2
Fermentation: C6H12O6 —> 2C2H5OH + 2CO2
Combustion: 2C2H5OH + 6O2 —> 6H2O 4CO2
Environmental impacts: deforestation, loss of biodiversity, 6CO2 in and 6CO2 out isn’t carbon neutral as fuel is used in production

21
Q

The student considered using a glass beaker on a tripod and gauze instead of the clamped copper calorimeter
Suggest two disadvantages of using a glass beaker beaker on a tripodd gauze

A

Tripod and gauze so reduced heat transfer
Doesn’t conduct heat as well as copper

22
Q

Suggest two reasons why the value of Enthalpy of combustion for this experiment is less exothermic than the data value

A

Heat lost, incomplete combustion may have occured

23
Q

Suggest one addition to apparatus to improve accuracy

A

Use a lid to prevent heat loss

24
Q

Explain why benzene is more thermodynamically stable

A

Electrons delocalised

25
Q

Suggest the importance of fewer steps and higher percentage atom economy in experiments

A

Fewer steps-better yield
Less waste

26
Q

State why the ozone layer is beneficial for living organism

A

Prevents harmful UV

27
Q

State how chlorofluorocarbons form chlorine in the upper atmosphere

A

C-Cl bonds broken homolytically

28
Q

Suggest why the 1cm portions of the reaction mixture are added to an excess of NaHCO3 solution

A

The sodium Hydrogencarbonate solution neutralises the acid so stops the reaction

29
Q

Suggest why the order of this reaction in respect to propanone can be ignored

A

Concentration is almost constant
The concentration is much larger than the concentration of iodine

30
Q

Explain how the graph shows 0 order

A

Has a constant gradient so the rate of reaction does not change as the concentration of iodine changes

31
Q

Describe how the crystalline solid is separated and purified

A

Filter, dissolve in minimum volume of hot solvent cool and filter under reduced pressure, wash with cold solvent and dry

32
Q

Suggest a reason why KCN is used rather than HCN

A

KCN dissociates to provide the CN- nucleophile

33
Q

1.dilute nitric acid is added to the solution
2.aqueous silver nitrate is added to the solution
3. A pale yellow ppt forms
Excess dilute aqueous ammonia is added to the mixture
Some of the precipitate dissolves and a darker yellow ppt remains
Give a reason for the use and explain the observations using equation

A

HNO3 to remove hydroxide ions that may give other pts with AgNO3
AgNO3 produces pts with ions
Ag+ + Cl- —> AgCl
NH3 dissolves AgCl
AgCl + 2NH3 —> Ag(NH3)2+ + Cl-
