For Examiner’s Use Carbon monoxide, CO, occurs in the exhaust gases of internal combustion engines. Suggest a dot-and-cross diagram for CO. Suggest one reason why CO is produced in addition to CO2 in some internal combustion engines. Carbon monoxide can be removed from the exhaust gases by a catalytic converter. Write an equation for a reaction that occurs in a catalytic converter that removes CO. The standard enthalpy change of formation, , of CO is –111 kJ mol–1, and that of CO2 is –394 kJ mol–1. Calculate the standard enthalpy change of the following reaction. C+ CO2→ 2CO∆H o = kJ mol–1 Carbon monoxide reacts with a ruthenium(chloride complex according to the equation [Ru(H2O)2Cl 4]2– + CO → [Ru(H2O)(CO)Cl 4]2– + H2O. Describe the type of reaction that is occurring here. During the reaction, the colour of the solution changes from deep blue to green. Explain the origin of colour in transition element complexes, and why different complexes often have different colours. For Examiner’s Use The following table shows how the initial rate of this reaction varies with different concentrations of reactants. [[Ru(H2O)2Cl 4]2–] / mol dm–3 [CO] / mol dm–3 rate / mol dm–3 s–1 1.1 × 10–2 1.7 × 10–3 1.6 × 10–7 1.6 × 10–2 3.6 × 10–3 2.3 × 10–7 2.2 × 10–2 2.7 × 10–3 3.2 × 10–7 Use these data to determine the order of reaction with respect to each reagent, and write the rate equation for the reaction. There are three possible mechanisms for this reaction, which are described below. mechanism 1 [Ru(H2O)2Cl 4]2– + CO [Ru(H2O)(CO)Cl 4]2– + H2O [Ru(H2O)Cl 4]2– + CO [Ru(H2O)(CO)Cl 4]2– mechanism 2 [Ru(H2O)2Cl 4]2– [Ru(H2O)Cl 4]2– + H2O slow slow fast [Ru(H2O)2(CO)Cl 4]2– [Ru(H2O)(CO)Cl 4]2– + H2O mechanism 3 [Ru(H2O)2Cl 4]2– + CO [Ru(H2O)2(CO)Cl 4]2– slow fast Deduce which of these three mechanisms is consistent with the rate equation you suggested in part . Explain your answer.

For Examiner’s Use Lawsone is the dye that is extracted from the henna plant, Lawsonia inermis. Although its natural colour is yellow, lawsone reacts with the proteins in hair and skin to produce the characteristic brown henna colour. Lawsone can readily be reduced to 1,2,4-trihydroxynaphthalene, compound A. O OH + 2H+ + 2e– E o = +0.36 V O OH OH OH lawsone 1,2,4-trihydroxynaphthalene, A Name three functional groups in lawsone. Describe a reaction (reagent with conditions) that you could use to distinguish lawsone from compound A. Describe the observations you would make with both compounds. Suggest a reagent that could be used to convert lawsone into compound A in the laboratory. Draw the structural formula of the compound formed when lawsone is reacted with Br2. For Examiner’s Use Compound A can be oxidised to lawsone by acidifi ed K2Cr2O7. Use the Data Booklet to calculate the for this reaction. Construct an equation for this reaction. Use the molecular formulae of lawsone, C10H6O3, and compound A, C10H8O3, in your equation. When 20.0 cm3 of a solution of compound A was acidifi ed and titrated with 0.0500 mol dm–3 K2Cr2O7, 7.50 cm3 of the K2Cr2O7 solution was needed to reach the end-point. Calculate [A] in the solution. [A] = mol dm–3 For Examiner’s Use When lawsone is reacted with NaOH, compound B is produced. O O– Na+ O NaOH lawsone C B Reacting B with ethanoyl chloride, CH3COCl, produces compound C, with the molecular formula C12H8O4. Suggest the identity of compound C, and draw its structure in the box above. Another compound, D, in addition to C, is produced in the above reaction. D is an isomer of C which contains the same functional groups as C, but in different positions. Suggest a possible structure for D. D Suggest a mechanism for the formation of D from B and ethanoyl chloride by drawing relevant structures and curly arrows in the following scheme. O Na+ O– O O + C Cl CH3 D B

The table shows the structures of four amino acids found in proteins in the human body. Complete the table by indicating the type of tertiary interaction each side-chain is most likely to have when its amino acid is present in a protein chain. amino acid structure type of interaction alanine H2NCH(CH3)CO2H cysteine H2NCH(CH2SH)CO2H lysine H2NCH((CH2)4NH2)CO2H serine H2NCH(CH2OH)CO2H Metal ions play an important role in the biochemistry of the human body. For each of the following metal ions, outline one of the places in the body it can be found and its main role there. iron potassium zinc For Examiner’s Use Many chemical reactions at a cellular level require energy in order to take place. This energy is largely provided by the breakdown of one particular compound. Write an equation showing the breakdown of this compound. What type of chemical reaction is this? Cystic fi brosis is a genetic disease caused by a mutation in the DNA sequence resulting in the production of a faulty version of an important protein which acts as an ion pump in the cell membrane. This pump controls the fl ow of ions into and out of cells. People with the faulty protein show two major symptoms. ● water is retained in cells in the lungs resulting in the formation of a thick, sticky mucous outside the cells; ● their sweat is very salty. Based on the information given for people with cystic fi brosis, suggest which ions are involved in the ion fl ow, suggest and explain what type of bonding might result in thick or sticky mucous.

For Examiner’s Use The developments in nanotechnology and drug delivery over the past 20 years have been wide-ranging. One of the most widespread developments for delivering a range of pharmaceutical products has been the use of liposomes. These are artifi cially created spheres made from phospholipids which have an ionic phosphate ‘head’ and two hydrocarbon ‘tails’. A C B phospholipid liposome Liposomes have also been used to carry pharmaceuticals such as vitamins and moisturisers used in cosmetic anti-ageing creams. Otherwise these pharmaceuticals may be oxidised or dehydrated if exposed to air. State in which area of the liposome, A, B or C, each of the following types of molecule would be carried. a hydrophilic moisturiser a fat-soluble vitamin For one of the areas, A, B or C, suggest why this would not be an appropriate place to carry either molecule. When liposomes are used to carry drugs, their main purpose is to prevent the drug molecules from being broken down on passage through the digestive system. Name a functional group present in drug molecules that might be broken down by acid in the stomach. For Examiner’s Use Name the type of reaction that would cause such a breakdown. The drug Sirolimus is used to suppress possible rejection by the body after kidney transplants. N O O O O O O O O H3C H3C H3C H3C H3C O H3C CH3 CH3 CH3 CH3 O H H H H HO OH OH Sirolimus Circle two bonds, each in a different functional group that could be broken down in the digestive system. Sirolimus is not very soluble in water, greatly reducing its effectiveness when given by mouth or by injection. To increase its effectiveness when taken by mouth nano-sized crystals of the drug combined with poly(ethylene glycol) or PEG (shown below) are produced. HO — (CH2 — CH2 — O)n — H Suggest what is meant by the term nano-sized. Suggest where on the molecule of PEG the drug would be attached. Why would bonding the drug to a PEG molecule improve its solubility in water?
