Write down what you would see, and write equations for the reactions that occur, when silicon(chloride and phosphorus(chloride are separately mixed with water. silicon(chloride phosphorus(chloride Iron(chloride, FeCl 3, is used to dissolve unwanted copper from printed circuit boards (PCBs) by the following reaction. 2FeCl 3+ Cu→ 2FeCl 2+ CuCl 2A solution in which [Fe3+] was originally equal to 1.50 mol dm–3 was re-used several times to dissolve copper from the PCBs, and was then titrated as follows. A 2.50 cm3 sample of the partially-used-up solution was acidifi ed and titrated with 0.0200 mol dm–3 KMnO4. This oxidised any FeCl 2 in the solution back to FeCl 3. It was found that 15.0 cm3 of KMnO4was required to reach the end point. Construct an ionic equation for the reaction between Fe2+ and MnO4 – in acid solution. State here the Fe2+ : MnO4 – ratio from your equation in . Calculate the number of moles of MnO4 – used in the titration. Calculate the number of moles of Fe2+ in 2.50 cm3 of the partially-used-up solution. For Examiner’s Use Calculate the [Fe2+] in the partially-used-up solution. Calculate the mass of copper that could still be dissolved by 100 cm3 of the partially-used-up solution. mass of copper = g When SiCl 4 vapour is passed over Si at red heat, Si2Cl 6 is formed. Si2Cl 6 contains a Si-Si bond. The reaction of Si2Cl 6 and Cl 2 re-forms SiCl 4. Si2Cl 6+ Cl 2→ 2SiCl 4Use bond energy data from the Data Booklet to calculate ∆H o for this reaction. ∆H o = kJ mol–1 Calcium forms three calcium silicides, Ca2Si, CaSi and CaSi2. The fi rst of these reacts with water as follows. Ca2Si + H2O → Ca(OH)2 + SiO2 + H2 Balance this equation. You may fi nd the use of oxidation numbers helpful. During this reaction, state which elementhave been oxidised, which elementhave been reduced.

For Examiner’s Use The diagram below shows an incomplete experimental set-up needed to measure the Ecell of a cell composed of the standard Cu2+/Cu electrode and an Ag+/Ag electrode. copper electrode solution A electrode B saturated solution of AgCl solid AgCl State the chemical composition of solution A, electrode B. Complete the diagram to show the whole experimental set-up. The above cell is not under standard conditions, because the [Ag+] in a saturated solution of AgCl is much less than 1.0 mol dm–3. The Eelectrode is related to [Ag+] by the following equation. equation 1 Eelectrode = E electrode + 0.06 log[Ag+] Use the Data Booklet to calculate the E cell if the cell was operating under standard conditions. E cell = V In the above experiment, the Ecell was measured at +0.17V. Calculate the value of Eelectrode for the Ag+/Ag electrode in this experiment. Use equation 1 to calculate [Ag+] in the saturated solution. [Ag+] = mol dm–3 o o o For Examiner’s Use Write an expression for Ksp of silver sulfate, Ag2SO4, including units. Ksp = units Using a similar experimental set-up to that illustrated opposite, it is found that [Ag+] in a saturated solution of Ag2SO4 is 1.6 × 10–2 mol dm–3. Calculate the value of Ksp of silver sulfate. Ksp = Describe how the colours of the silver halides, and their relative solubilities in NH3, can be used to distinguish between solutions of the halide ions Cl –, Br – and I –. Describe and explain the trend in the solubilities of the sulfates of the elements in Group II.

For Examiner’s Use The increasing awareness of the diminishing supply of crude oil has resulted in a number of initiatives to replace oil-based polymers with those derived from natural products. One such polymer, ‘polylactide’ or PLA, is produced from corn starch and has a range of applications. The raw material for the polymer, lactic acid (2-hydroxypropanoic acid), is formed by the fermentation of corn starch using enzymes from bacteria. Calcium hydroxide is added to the fermentation tanks to prevent the production of lactic acid from slowing down. Why might high acidity reduce the effectiveness of the enzymes? The structure of lactic acid is shown. H C CO2H CH3 HO What type of reaction takes place in this polymerisation? Lactic acid exists in two stereoisomeric forms. Draw the other form in the box. For Examiner’s Use One of the reasons PLA has attracted so much attention is that it is biodegradeable. This does, however, restrict some potential uses. The simple polymer has a melting point of around 175 °C, but softens between 60-80 °C. However, its thermoplastic properties enable it to have a range of uses in fi bres and in food packaging. Explain why PLA would not be a suitable packaging material for foods pickled in vinegar. PLA containers are not used for hot drinks. Suggest why. Lactic acid can also be co-polymerised with glycolic acid. HO C H H C O OH glycolic acid Draw a section of the co-polymer showing one repeat unit. Suggest what typeof bonding will occur between chains of this co-polymer, indicating the groups involved. Suggest one property in which the co-polymer differs from PLA.
