A sample of a fertiliser was known to contain ammonium sulfate, (NH4)2SO4, and sand only. A 2.96 g sample of the solid fertiliser was heated with 40.0 cm3 of NaOH, an excess, and all of the ammonia produced was boiled away. After cooling, the remaining NaOHwas exactly neutralised by 29.5 cm3 of 2.00 mol dm–3 HCl. In a separate experiment, 40.0 cm3 of the original NaOHwas exactly neutralised by 39.2 cm3 of the 2.00 mol dm–3 HCl. Write balanced equations for the following reactions. NaOH with HCl (NH4)2SO4 with NaOH Calculate the amount, in moles, of NaOH present in the 40.0 cm3 of the original NaOHthat was neutralised by 39.2 cm3 of 2.00 mol dm–3 HCl. Calculate the amount, in moles, of NaOH present in the 40.0 cm3 of NaOHthat remained after boiling the (NH4)2SO4. Use your answers to and to calculate the amount, in moles, of NaOH that reacted with the (NH4)2SO4. For Examiner’s Use Use your answers to and to calculate the amount, in moles, of (NH4)2SO4 that reacted with the NaOH. Hence calculate the mass of (NH4)2SO4 that reacted. Use your answer to to calculate the percentage, by mass, of (NH4)2SO4 present in the fertiliser. Write your answer to a suitable number of signifi cant fi gures. The uncontrolled use of nitrogenous fertilisers can cause environmental damage to lakes and streams. This is known as eutrophication. What are the processes that occur when excessive amounts of nitrogenous fertilisers get into lakes and streams? Large quantities of ammonia are manufactured by the Haber process. Not all of this ammonia is used to make fertilisers. State one large-scale use for ammonia, other than in the production of nitrogenous fertilisers.

For Examiner’s Use This question refers to the elements in the section of the Periodic Table shown below. H He Li Be B C N O F Ne Na Mg Al Si P S Cl Ar K Ca transition elements Ga Ge As Se Br Kr From this list of elements, identify in each case one element that has the property described. Give the symbol of the element. An element that fl oats on cold water and reacts readily with it. An element that forms an oxide that is a reducing agent. The element that has the smallest fi rst ionisation energy. The element which has a giant molecular structure and forms an oxide which has a simple molecular structure. The element in Period 3 (Na to Ar) that has the smallest anion. The element in Period 3 (Na to Ar) which forms a chloride with a low melting point and an oxide with a very high melting point. For Examiner’s Use Use the elements in Period 3 (Na to Ar) in the section of the Periodic Table opposite to identify the oxidereferred to below. In each case, give the formula of the oxide. An oxide which when placed in water for a long time has no reaction with it. An oxide which dissolves readily in water to give a strongly alkaline solution. Two acidic oxides formed by the same element. and An oxide which is amphoteric. Fluorine reacts with other elements in Group VII to form a number of different compounds. Two such compounds and their boiling points are given in the table. compound Cl F3 BrF3 boiling point / °C The two molecules have similar electronic confi gurations. Showing outer electrons only, draw a 'dot-and-cross' diagram of the bonding in Cl F3. The two molecules have the same shape. Suggest why the boiling points are signifi cantly different.
