O Levels Combined Chemistry G3 O Levels G3 Combined Chemistry Paper 1 mock Name 1 / 20 1. 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. 2 / 20 2. 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. 3 / 20 3. Which of the following hydrocarbons would produce the sootiest flame when burnt in air? CH4 C4H10 C8H18 C12H26 The more C atoms in the molecule, the more soot (unburnt hydrocarbon) will be produced 4 / 20 4. The structure of brass is shown below. What is the purpose of adding zinc to copper? to make the packing of atoms more compact to strengthen the metallic bonds between copper atoms to prevent layers of copper atoms from sliding over each other easily to prevent the ‘sea of electrons’ from moving freely in the metal lattice Adding zinc atoms to copper disrupts the orderly arrangement, which prevents layers of copper atoms from sliding over each other easily. The effect is that the alloy is now harder and stronger than pure copper. 5 / 20 5. A warship had its hull plated in copper to protect its wooden hull from rotting. However, after 2 years at sea, it was found that the iron parts of the warship in contact with the copper plates were more corroded than normal. What is the best explanation for this observation? Copper acts as a catalyst to speed up corrosion. Copper reacts with the iron to increase corrosion. Iron displaces copper to form iron(III) oxide. Iron is more reactive and corrodes in place of copper. Iron is above copper in the reactivity series. Iron will readily give away electrons to copper. Thus, iron will ionize easily to react with the oxygen in the air to rust. 6 / 20 6. 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. 7 / 20 7.

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. Calcium nitrate crystals contain water of crystallisation.

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.
