Zinc is an essential trace element which is necessary for the healthy growth of animals and plants. Zinc defi ciency in humans can be easily treated by using zinc salts as dietary supplements. One salt which is used as a dietary supplement is a hydrated zinc sulfate, ZnSO4.xH2O, which is a colourless crystalline solid. Crystals of zinc sulfate may be prepared in a school or college laboratory by reacting dilute sulfuric acid with a suitable compound of zinc. Give the formulae of two simple compounds of zinc that could each react with dilute sulfuric acid to produce zinc sulfate. and A simple experiment to determine the value of x in the formula ZnSO4.xH2O is to heat it carefully to drive off the water. ZnSO4.xH2O→ ZnSO4+ xH2OA student placed a sample of the hydrated zinc sulfate in a weighed boiling tube and reweighed it. He then heated the tube for a short time, cooled it and reweighed it when cool. This process was repeated four times. The fi nal results are shown below. mass of empty tube / g mass of tube + hydrated salt / g mass of tube + salt after fourth heating / g 74.25 77.97 76.34 Why was the boiling tube heated, cooled and reweighed four times? Calculate the amount, in moles, of the anhydrous salt produced. Calculate the amount, in moles, of water driven off by heating. For Examiner’s Use Use your results to and to calculate the value of x in ZnSO4.xH2O. For many people, an intake of approximately 15 mg per day of zinc will be suffi cient to prevent defi ciencies. Zinc ethanoate crystals, (CH3CO2)2Zn.2H2O, may be used in this way. What mass of pure crystalline zinc ethanoate (Mr = 219.4) will need to be taken to obtain a dose of 15 mg of zinc? If this dose is taken in solution as 5 cm3 of aqueous zinc ethanoate, what would be the concentration of the solution used? Give your answer in mol dm–3.

For Examiner’s Use Each of the Group VII elements chlorine, bromine and iodine forms a hydride. Outline how the relative thermal stabilities of these hydrides change from HCl to HI. Explain the variation you have outlined in . Hydrogen iodide can be made by heating together hydrogen gas and iodine vapour. The reaction is incomplete. H2+ I22HIWrite an expression for Kc and state the units. Kc = units For this equilibrium, the numerical value of the equilibrium constant Kc is 140 at 500 K and 59 at 650 K. Use this information to state and explain the effect of the following changes on the equilibrium position. increasing the pressure applied to the equilibrium decreasing the temperature of the equilibrium For Examiner’s Use A mixture of 0.02 mol of hydrogen and 0.02 mol of iodine was placed in a 1 dm3 fl ask and allowed to come to equilibrium at 650 K. Calculate the amount, in moles, of each substance present in the equilibrium mixture at 650 K. H2+ I22HIinitial moles 0.02 0.02

For Examiner’s Use Ammonia is an important industrial chemical which is manufactured on a large scale by using the Haber process. Write a balanced equation, with state symbols, for the reaction occurring in the Haber process. Give three essential operating conditions that are used in the Haber process. State one large scale use of ammonia. Ammonia may be prepared in a school or college laboratory by using the apparatus below. ammonium chloride and calcium hydroxide heat ammonia drying tower The reaction involves the displacement of ammonia from one of its compounds. Give the formulae of the two reactants that are heated together to produce ammonia. and Construct a balanced equation for the reaction between your two reagents. For Examiner’s Use Common drying agents include calcium oxide, concentrated sulfuric acid and phosphorus(oxide. Which one of these would be used in the drying tower in this experiment? Explain your answer. Ammonia is a weak base which forms salts containing the ammonium ion. Describe, with the aid of an equation, the formation and structure of the ammonium ion. You should use displayed formulae in your answer.

For Examiner’s Use Compound X has the molecular formula C4H8O2. Treatment of X with sodium metal produces a colourless fl ammable gas. What does this result tell you about the functional groups that could be present in X? There is no reaction when X is treated with sodium hydrogencarbonate, NaHCO3. What does this result tell you about the functional groups that could be present in X? When X is shaken with aqueous bromine the orange colour disappears. What does this result tell you about the functional groups that could be present in X? For Examiner’s Use The molecule of X has the following features. ● The carbon chain is unbranched and the molecule is not cyclic. ● No oxygen atom is attached to any carbon atom which is involved in π bonding. ● No carbon atom has more than one oxygen atom joined to it. There are fi ve possible isomers of X which fi t these data. Four of these isomers exist as two pairs of stereoisomers. Draw displayed formulae of each of these two pairs. pair 1 pair 2 These four isomers of X show two types of stereoisomerism. State which type of isomerism each pair shows. pair 1 pair 2
