For Examiner’s Use Hydrogen peroxide decomposes slowly at room temperature to form water and oxygen. The reaction is catalysed by manganese(oxide. 2H2O2 → 2H2O + O2 A student used the apparatus shown below to study how changing the concentration of hydrogen peroxide affects the speed of this reaction. hydrogen peroxide manganese(oxide gas syringe oxygen collects here Apart from the volume of hydrogen peroxide, state two things that the student must keep the same in each experiment. 1. 2. For Examiner’s Use The student measured the volume of oxygen produced using three different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide. The results are shown on the graph below. time / s volume of oxygen / cm3 concentration of hydrogen peroxide in g / dm3 A B C Describe how the speed of the reaction varies with the concentration of hydrogen peroxide. Explain why the fi nal volume of oxygen given off is less for graph B than for graph A. From the graph, determine the time taken for the reaction to be completed when 3 g / dm3 hydrogen peroxide (line A) was used. the volume of oxygen produced by 2 g / dm3 hydrogen peroxide (line B) in the fi rst 15 seconds. For Examiner’s Use The student then tested various compounds to see how well they catalysed the reaction. He used the same concentration of hydrogen peroxide in each experiment. The table shows the time taken to produce 20 cm3 of oxygen using each compound as a catalyst. compound time taken to produce 20 cm3 of oxygen / s copper(oxide lead(oxide magnesium oxide did not produce any oxygen manganese(oxide Put these compounds in order of their effectiveness as catalysts. worst catalyst best catalyst

For Examiner’s Use Match the phrases on the left with the defi nitions on the right. The fi rst one has been done for you. relative formula mass an atom that has become charged molecule the smallest part of an element which can take part in a chemical change atom two or more atoms covalently bonded together ion the sum of the relative atomic masses in a compound Sodium hydroxide, NaOH, is an ionic compound which dissolves in water to form a strongly alkaline solution. Which one of the following best describes the pH of a concentrated aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide? Put a ring around the correct answer. pH 2 pH 5 pH 7 pH 8 pH 13 Calculate the relative formula mass of sodium hydroxide. The equation describes how sodium hydroxide reacts with hydrochloric acid. NaOH + HCl → NaCl + H2O What type of chemical reaction is this? For Examiner’s Use A student used a syringe to add 1 cm3 portions of hydrochloric acid to an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide. hydrochloric acid syringe sodium hydroxide solution Describe how the pH of the solution in the beaker changes as the hydrochloric acid is added until the acid is in excess. For Examiner’s Use The diagram shows the apparatus used to electrolyse concentrated aqueous sodium chloride. anode cathode concentrated aqueous sodium chloride gases + – Give a description of this electrolysis. In your description include ● what substance the electrodes are made from and the reason for using this substance ● what you would observe during the electrolysis ● the names of the substances produced at each electrode.

For Examiner’s Use Ethanol, C2H5OH, is a member of the alcohol homologous series. Give two characteristics of a homologous series. 1. 2. Draw the structure of ethanol showing all atoms and bonds. One use of ethanol is as a solvent. A pupil studied the reaction of iodine with zinc. She fi rst dissolved a few crystals of iodine in ethanol and recorded the temperature of the solution. The temperature was 18 °C. She then added excess powdered zinc and recorded the temperature again. The new temperature was 37 °C. temperature 18 °C iodine dissolved in ethanol temperature 37 °C excess zinc Is this reaction endothermic or exothermic? Explain your answer. What colour is solid iodine? For Examiner’s Use The equation for the reaction is zinc + iodine → zinc iodide When the reaction is complete, the mixture contains zinc iodide dissolved in ethanol and unreacted zinc powder. Suggest how you can get crystals of zinc iodide from the reaction mixture. The diagram shows the structure of zinc iodide. I – I – I – I – I – I – Zn2+ Zn2+ Zn2+ Zn2+ Zn2+ I – I – I – I – What is the simplest formula for zinc iodide? The list below shows four different types of structure. What type of structure is zinc iodide? Put a ring around the correct answer. giant covalent giant ionic metallic molecular For Examiner’s Use The equation for the reaction of zinc with dilute nitric acid is 4Zn + 10HNO3 → 4Zn(NO3)2 + NH4NO3 + 3H2O Write a word equation for this reaction. Describe a test for ammonium ions. test result
