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 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. Ammonia and excess carbon dioxide can react to form urea and water in a reaction. 2NH3 + CO2 → CON2H4 + H2O The percentage yield of this reaction is 80 %. What is the mass of ammonia required for this reaction to obtain 60.0 g of urea?

If nitrate ions are present, they will be reduced to ammonia gas, which can be detected by its pungent smell or by its ability to turn damp red litmus paper blue. 8 / 20 8. Heavy water is made up of 2 deuterium( Hydrogen atoms with mass number 2) atoms and 1 oxygen atom. Which properties are true about heavy water? 1 Its boiling point is higher than 100 °C. 2. 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. 9 / 20 9. 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 10 / 20 10. How many of the following processes will lead to an increase in greenhouse gas emissions? 1 2 3 4 decomposition -> give out carbon dioxide fermentation -> give our carbon dioxide photosynthesis -> take in carbon dioxide polymerisation -> none, maybe water respiration -> give out carbon dioxide neutralisation -> only salt and water 11 / 20 11.

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 13 / 20 13. 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 14 / 20 14. The diagram shows the apparatus used to separate hexane (boiling point, 70 oC) and heptane (boiling point, 98 oC). A B C D Heptane vapour will condense as it reaches the fractionating column; only hexane vapour will reach the condenser. As the thermometer will only measure the inlet of the condenser, the measured temperature will be constant at the boiling point of hexane until all the hexane has vaporized. 15 / 20 15.
