Sodium and magnesium are the first two elements in the third period. Sodium and magnesium both react with cold water to produce the same type of product in solution. With sodium the solution is clear but with magnesium it appears cloudy. Write an equation for the reaction of magnesium with cold water. Suggest why the solution is cloudy after the reaction of magnesium with cold water. Group2 elements, including magnesium, react with oxygen and with dilute acids. There are trends in both the physical and chemical properties of the elements and their compounds down the group. Reactivity generally increases from Mg to Ba. Explain why there is a general increase in reactivity from Mg to Ba. Give two observations for the reaction of magnesium with oxygen. Write an equation for this reaction. Include state symbols. equation  Write an equation for the reaction of magnesium with sulfuricacid. Suggest why there is a general decrease in the melting points of the elements down Group2.

Ammonium iron(sulfate, (NH4)2Fe(SO4)2, has a relative formula mass, Mr, of 284. Define the term relative formula mass. One of the cations in ammonium iron(sulfate is the ammonium ion, NH4 +. Draw a ‘dot-and-cross’ diagram of an ammonium ion. Show outer shell electrons only. Use × to show electrons from nitrogen. Use ● to show electrons from hydrogen.  Suggest the shape of an ammonium ion and predict the bond angle. shape bond angle  In aqueous solution the ammonium ion acts as a weak Brønsted-Lowry acid. Explain the meaning of the term weak Brønsted-Lowry acid. Write an equation to show this behaviour of the ammonium ion in water. Include state symbols. Mohr's salt, (NH4)2Fe(SO4)2•xH2O, is the hydrated form of ammonium iron(sulfate. x represents the number of moles of water in 1mole of the salt. A student wanted to determine the value of x. 0.784 g of the hydrated salt was dissolved in water and this solution was acidified. All of the solution was titrated with 0.0200 mol dm–3 potassiummanganate(. 20.0 cm3 of this potassiummanganate(solution was required for complete reaction with the Fe2+ ions. Use changes in oxidation numbers to balance the equation for the reaction taking place. MnO4 –+ Fe2++ H+Mn2++ Fe3++ H2O State the role of the Fe2+ ions in this reaction. Explain your answer. Calculate the amount, in moles, of manganate(ions that reacted.  amount = mol Calculate the amount, in moles, of Fe2+ ions in the sample of the salt.  amount = mol Calculate the relative formula mass of (NH4)2Fe(SO4)2•xH2O.  relative formula mass = Calculate the value of x.  x =

Most vehicle fuels contain hydrocarbons obtained from crude oil. State the name of the type of reaction that hydrocarbons undergo when being used as fuels. Write an equation for the reaction of octane, C8H18, as a fuel, as in . The supply of material suitable for use as fuels directly from crude oil is not sufficient to meet demand. A process is carried out to make some of the larger hydrocarbon molecules more useful. Name this process. As well as producing fuels, this process produces compounds suitable for use in the production of polymers. An example of such a compound is but-2-ene, CH3CH=CHCH3. Draw the repeat unit of the polymer that is produced from but-2-ene.  Name the type of polymerisation that occurs during the production of the polymer in . Gases produced in internal combustion engines include carbonmonoxide, oxides of nitrogen such as NO2, and unburnt hydrocarbons. These gases are removed from the exhaust before they can enter the atmosphere. State what is used to remove these gases from the exhaust. Write one equation to show how both carbonmonoxide, CO, and nitrogendioxide, NO2, are removed from the exhaust. State the environmental consequence of allowing unburnt hydrocarbons to enter the atmosphere. Vehicle fuels are treated to remove sulfur. If sulfur is present in a fuel when it is burned, SO2 is produced and may be released into the atmosphere where it can form acid rain. Acid rain can contribute to breathing difficulties. Identify two other consequences of acid rain in the atmosphere. NO2 is involved in the production of acid rain from SO2. Give two equations which describe how acid rain is formed by the action of NO2 with SO2. NO2 is described as a catalyst during this process. Explain, with the use of an appropriate equation, why NO2 is described as a catalyst.

W is CH3COCH2CH3. The reaction between W and alkaline aqueous iodine produces a yellow precipitate. Give the name of the compound formed as a yellow precipitate in this reaction. Give the name of W. There are two structural isomers of W that are also carbonyl compounds. Draw the structures of these two isomers of W.  Two reactions of W are shown. CH3COCH2CH3 CH3CH(OH)CH2CH3 H3C CH2CH3 C OH CN W X reaction 2 reaction 1 Identify the type of reaction occurring in reaction1. Identify the reagent for reaction1. Reaction2 is carried out by adding a mixture of HCN and NaCN to W. The product, X, is formed as a mixture of two isomers. Complete the mechanism for this reaction.
