An aldehyde, an alkane and a carboxylic acid, all of similar volatility, are mixed together. The mixture is then analysed in a gas chromatograph. The gas chromatogram produced is shown. absorption time / mins Z X Y The separation of the compounds depends on their relative solubilities in the stationary phase. The stationary phase is a liquid alcohol. Complete the table to suggest which compound in the mixture is responsible for each peak X, Y and Z. Explain your answer by reference to the intermolecular forces of the compounds. peak organic compound explanation X Y Z  A student calculates the areas underneath the three peaks in the chromatogram. peak X Y Z area / mm2 The area underneath each peak is proportional to the mass of the respective compound. Calculate the percentage by mass in the original mixture of the compound responsible for peakZ.  % of mixture responsible for peak Z = The mass spectrum of a halogenoalkane containing one chlorine atom or bromine atom will show an additional peak at M+2. State the isotopes of chlorine and bromine responsible for M+2 peaks. chlorine bromine  The mass spectrum of bromochloromethane, CH2BrCl, has a molecular ion peak, M, at an m / e value of 128. It also has M+2 and M+4 peaks. Suggest the identity of the molecular ions that give rise to these peaks. M peak M+2 peak M+4 peak  Halogenoalkanes can be formed from the reaction of an alkene with a hydrogen halide. Methylpropene reacts with hydrogen bromide to form 2-bromo-2-methylpropane. H2C CH3 CH3 C + HBr methylpropene 2-bromo-2-methylpropane H3C CH3 Br CH3 C Draw the mechanism of this reaction. Include all relevant curly arrows, dipoles and charges.  1-bromo-2-methylpropane is also formed in this reaction. Explain why 2-bromo-2-methylpropane will be the major product in this reaction. Explain what is meant by the term partition coefficient, Kpartition. The partition coefficient of organic compound H between dichloromethane and water is 4.75. ● 2.50 g of compoundH was dissolved in water and made up to 100 cm3 in a volumetric flask. ● 50 cm3 of this aqueous solution were shaken with 10 cm3 of dichloromethane. Calculate the mass of compoundH that was extracted into the dichloromethane.  mass of compound H extracted = g

The enthalpy change of solution, , of the Group2 sulfates becomes more endothermic down the group. State and explain the trend in the solubility of the Group 2 sulfates down the group. Write the expression for Kw , the ionic product of water. Kw =  The numerical value of Kw increases with increasing temperature. Place a tick () in the appropriate column in each row to show the effect of increasing the temperature of water on the pH and on the ratio [H+] : [OH–]. effect of increasing temperature of water decrease stay the same increase pH ratio [H+] : [OH–]  An aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide has a pH of 13.25 at 298 K. Calculate the concentration of this sodium hydroxide solution.  concentration = mol dm–3 Buffer solutions are used to regulate the pH of a solution to keep its pH value within a narrow range. Write two equations to describe how hydrogencarbonate ions, HCO3 –, and carbonic acid, H2CO3, control the pH of blood. The Ka for ethanoic acid is 1.75×10–5 mol dm–3 at 298 K. When ethanoic acid is dissolved in water, an equilibrium mixture containing two acid‑base pairs is formed. Write an equation for this equilibrium. In the boxes label each species acidic or basic to show its behaviour in this equilibrium. CH3CO2H + +  A buffer solution was prepared by adding 30.0 cm3 of 0.25 mol dm–3 ethanoic acid, an excess, to 20.0 cm3 of 0.15 mol dm–3 sodiumhydroxide. Calculate the pH of the buffer solution formed at 298 K. Give your answer to one decimal place.  pH = Titration curves for two different acid-base reactions, M and N, are shown. pH volume of acid added / cm3 pH volume of acid added / cm3 reaction M reaction N Use the titration curve for reaction M to deduce the volume of acid added at the end‑point for this titration.  volume of acid added at the end-point = cm3 The table shows some acid-base indicators. name of indicator pH range of colour change malachite green 0.2–1.8 bromocresol green 3.8–5.4 bromothymol blue 6.0–7.6 thymolphthalein 9.3–10.6 Name a suitable indicator for each of the acid-base titrations M and N.
