Older MCQs might not have the typical A, B, C,
D
choices. They
have choices 1, 2, 3, and a combination of them is the answer. Below is the key that maps such
combinations to the answer.
A
1, 2 and 3 are correct
B
1 and 2 only are correct
C
2 and 3 only are correct
D
1 only is correct
write formulas of ionic compounds from ionic charges and oxidation numbers (shown by a Roman numeral), including: (a) the prediction of ionic charge from the position of an element in the Periodic Table (b) recall of the names and formulas for the following ions: \(NO_3^-\), \(CO_3^{2-}\), \(SO_4^{2-}\), \(OH^-\), \(NH_4^+\), \(Zn^{2+}\), \(Ag^+\), \(HCO_3^-\), \(PO_4^{3-}\)
recall the reactions (reagents and conditions) by which aldehydes and ketones can be produced: (a) the oxidation of primary alcohols using acidified \( K_2Cr_2O_7 \) or acidified \( KMnO_4 \) and distillation to produce aldehydes (b) the oxidation of secondary alcohols using acidified \( K_2Cr_2O_7 \) or acidified \( KMnO_4 \) and distillation to produce ketones
describe, explain, and write equations for, the acid/base behaviour of the oxides Na₂O, MgO, Al₂O₃, P₄O₁₀, SO₂ and SO₃ and the hydroxides NaOH, Mg(OH)₂ and Al(OH)₃ including, where relevant, amphoteric behaviour in reactions with acids and bases (sodium hydroxide only)
