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 2 / 20 2. When excess aluminium oxide, Al2O3 was added to a portion of dilute sodium hydroxide. Which of the following correctly describes the pH change and the explanation? A B C D Aluminium oxide is amphoteric and neutralises the sodium hydroxide. Thus the pH decrease 3 / 20 3. Calcium nitrate crystals contain water of crystallisation. Its formula may be written as Ca(NO3)2●nH2O. When a 7.00 g sample of hydrated calcium nitrate is heated to remove all water, 4.90 g of anhydrous calcium nitrate remains after heating. What is the value of n? 1 2 3 4 7 g - 4.9 g = 2.1g of water 1 mole water --> 18g 2.1 g --> 0.11667 mole 1 mole Calcium nitrate --> 164g 4.9g --> 0.029878 mole ratio 0.029878 : 0.11667 1 : 4 4 / 20 4. Which statement does not explain why the speed of the reaction between zinc and dilute sulfuric acid increases when the acid is warmed? The particles are moving faster as they gain more energy. The activation energy of the reaction decreases. The particles are colliding more frequently. More particles have sufficient energy required for the reaction. An alternative pathway with lower activation energy is only provided by a catalyst, not a higher temperature 5 / 20 5. Which substances contain the same number of atoms? A B C D 6 / 20 6. Aqueous hydrogen peroxide decomposes to form water and oxygen gas. Two experiments were carried out to measure the rate of production of oxygen from aqueous hydrogen peroxide. A B C D Experiment B has more starting reactant but lower concentration than A. Therefore, the curve will be less steep but finish higher. 7 / 20 7. A solution of a lithium halide and a halogen are mixed. A reaction occurs and the mixture darkens in colour. What are the reactants? bromine and lithium chloride iodine and lithium fluoride chlorine and lithium iodide chlorine and lithium fluoride Since the solution darken, there must be displacement. 8 / 20 8. Which diagram best represents the structure of calcium oxide? A B C D Ca is cation and O is anion. They are opposite in charge and attract each other. Thus in the diagram, only black balls are bonded to white balls directly. 9 / 20 9. Lead(IV) chloride has a melting point of -15 °C and boiling point of 50 °C. Which type of structure do you expect lead(IV) chloride to have? a simple molecular structure with weak covalent bonds a simple molecular structure with weak intermolecular forces of attraction between molecules a giant molecular structure with strong covalent bonds between atoms a giant ionic crystal lattice structure with strong electrostatic forces of attraction Since the melting point and boiling point are low, it should be a simple molecular structure with weak intermolecular forces of attraction that can be overcome easily. 10 / 20 10. Hydrogen gas reacts with chlorine gas to form hydrogen chloride gas. H2(g) + Cl2(g) → 2HCl(g) What is the final volume of the gas mixture when 20 dm3 of hydrogen is reacted with 30 dm3 of chlorine gas at 100 C? 40 dm3 50 dm3 60 dm3 70 dm3 H2(g) + Cl2(g) → 2HCl(g) hydrogen gas is limiting reagent. Cl2 gas is excess by 10 dm3 Vol of HCl produced = 2 x 20 dm3 = 40 dm3 Final volume = 40 + 10 = 50 dm3 11 / 20 11. Francium, Fr, is an element in the same group of the Periodic Table as lithium, sodium and potassium. Which statement about francium is likely to be correct? It forms a carbonate Fr2CO3. 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 12 / 20 12. 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. 13 / 20 13. Which of the following statements about a homologous series is correct? The melting and boiling point increases with increasing relative molecular mass. The members have similar physical properties. The members have the same molecular formula. The relative molecular masses of consecutive members differ by 12. The physical properties of members show a trend 14 / 20 14.

It reacts with sodium to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. 3 It can act as a solvent for sodium chloride. 1 only 2 and 3 only 1, 2 and 3 none of the above Heavy water has a higher molar mass as compared to normal water, and the boiling point will be slightly higher. Howeve,r most of the chemical properties will be similar. 15 / 20 15. Which element does not form a stable ion with the same electronic configuration as neon? Magnesium Fluorine Sodium Sulfur Sulfur is 2,8,6 so when it form an ion, it will be 2,8,8 which is the electron configuration of Argon 16 / 20 16. A student investigated the diffusion of ammonia gas, NH3, and hydrogen chloride gas, HCl. Two sets of apparatus were set up as shown below at room temperature and pressure. The damp red litmus paper in apparatus 1 changed colour after 30 seconds. How long does it take for the damp blue litmus paper to change colour in apparatus 2? about 21 seconds about 30 seconds about 64 seconds The blue litmus paper would not change colour. Molar mass of ammonia NH3 = 14+3 =17g molar mass of HCl = 1 +35.5 = 36.5 g HCl will take longer to diffuse as it has a higher molar mass 17 / 20 17. 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.

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, 20 / 20 20.
