It forms coloured compounds. It reacts slowly with cold water. It is produced from the electrolysis of aqueous francium chloride. Use sodium or potassium as guide. Only extraction with electrolysis is true 3 / 20 3. A paper chromatography experiment was carried out to determine the inks present in a mixture, and the results shown below were obtained. Which statement about the results is incorrect? Ink 4 is more soluble than ink 3 in the solvent used. Inks 1 and 2 contained more than one colour pigment. The ink mixture contained inks 1, 3 and 4. The Rf value of ink 3 in the solvent used is more than 0.5. The further the ink moved from the starting line, the more soluble it is in this solvent 4 / 20 4.

When a 10 cm3 sample of a gaseous hydrocarbon was completely burnt in 35 cm3 of oxygen, the total volume of the products formed was 50 cm3. Which equation represents the combustion of the hydrocarbon? CH4(g) + 2O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2H2O(g) C2H4(g) + 3O2(g) → 2CO2(g) + 2H2O(g) C3H8(g) + 5O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(g) 2C2H6(g) + 7O2(g) → 4CO2(g) + 6H2O(g) Since all the reactants and products are gases, we can use the ratio of volume directly without converting to moles. 10: 35 : 50 2 : 7 : 10 ratio of hydrocarbon is 2, ratio of oxygen is 7 and ratio of the sum of products is 10. Only D satisfy this ratio 7 / 20 7. Heavy water is made up of 2 deuterium( Hydrogen atoms with mass number 2) atoms and 1 oxygen atom.

The first tube of gas collected was discarded as it was contaminated. Which contaminant was in the gas? hydrogen hydrogen peroxide manganese(IV) oxide nitrogen There would be air in the test tube and tubing. Thus the main contaminant would be nitrogen gas. 9 / 20 9. In which equation does the metal oxide act as an acidic oxide? K2O (s) + H2O (l) → 2KOH (aq) Fe2O3 (g) + 3CO (g) → 2Fe (s) + 3CO2 (g) Al2O3 (s) + 6HCl (aq) → 2AlCl3 (aq) + 3H2O (l) PbO (s) + H2O (l) + OH− (aq) → Pb(OH)3− (aq) acidic oxide neutralises base/alkali to form salt and water CO is neutral. 10 / 20 10. Which statement explains why sodium chloride, NaCl, has a lower melting point than magnesium oxide, MgO? Sodium chloride has a simple molecular structure while magnesium oxide has a giant ionic structure. Sodium is more reactive than magnesium. The attraction between Na+ and Cl− is weaker than that between Mg2+ and O2−. The particles in sodium chloride are more closely packed than in magnesium oxide. Both compounds are giant ionic structures. But the magnesium ion charge is 2+ while the sodium ion is 1+. Thus, the electrostatic forces holding the ions together are stronger in magnesium chloride 11 / 20 11. 50.0 cm3 of 0.10 mol/dm3 silver nitrate, AgNO3, is added to 150.0 cm3 of 0.05 mol/dm3 of sodium iodide, NaI, in a beaker. After the reaction, solid silver iodide is present in the beaker. What else is present in the mixture? Ag+, Na+, NO3- only Na+, I-, NO3- only Na+, I- only Na+, NO3- only AgNO3 + NaI --> NaNO3 + AgI 50.0 cm3 of 0.10 mol/dm3 silver nitrate, AgNO3 = 0.005 mole 150.0 cm3 of 0.05 mol/dm3 of sodium iodide, NaI, = 0.0075 mole Reactant ions left = Na+ and I - product ions = Na+ and NO3^- 12 / 20 12. The following chemicals are available in the laboratory. aqueous bromine Universal Indicator solution magnesium powder sodium carbonate Which of these chemicals can be used to distinguish between propene and propanoic acid? All of them 1 only 1 and 4 only 1, 2 and 3 only aqueous bromine --> change colourless/no change Universal Indicator solution --> turns orange/ green magnesium powder --> no change/effervescence sodium carbonate --> no change/effervescence 13 / 20 13. Which property of elements increases from left to right of Period 3 of the Periodic Table? number of outer shells metallic character tendency to get reduced melting points As you move from left to right across a period, the number of protons in the nucleus increases, which leads to a stronger attraction for electrons. This increased attraction makes it more difficult for an atom to lose electrons, 14 / 20 14. When crude oil is fractionally distilled, which list best describes the mixture of compounds collected at the bottom of the fractionating column? Short chain molecules, low viscosity, high flammability Short chain molecules, low boiling point, low flammability Long chain molecules, high flammability, high boiling point Long chain molecules, high viscosity, high boiling point The molecules with the greatest molar mass and longest chain are collected at the bottom.

Elements X and Y combine to form an ionic compound. Atoms of X have more protons than atoms of Y. Atoms of Y have more valence electrons than atoms of X. Which statement is correct? Ions of X are negatively charged. Atoms of X have more electron shells than atoms of Y. X and Y are in the same period of the Periodic Table. X and Y are in the same group of the Periodic Table. X and Y, one is metal, one is non-metal. since Y has more valence then X is metal and Y is non-metal and X has more electron shell since it has protons. 17 / 20 17.
