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: \(NO_3^-\), \(CO_3^{2-}\), \(SO_4^{2-}\), \(OH^-\), \(NH_4^+\), \(Zn^{2+}\), \(Ag^+\), \(HCO_3^-\), \(PO_4^{3-}\)
describe and interpret, in terms of changes in oxidation number, the reaction of chlorine with cold and with hot aqueous sodium hydroxide and recognise these as disproportionation reactions
describe and explain: (a) the basicity of ammonia, using the Brønsted–Lowry theory (b) the structure of the ammonium ion and its formation by an acid–base reaction (c) the displacement of ammonia from ammonium salts by an acid–base reaction
