Selenium and sulfur are in Group VI. They have similar properties. One of the main uses of selenium is in photoelectric cells. These cells can change light into electrical energy. Name a process which can change light into chemical energy. Name a device which can change chemical energy into electrical energy. The electron distribution of a selenium atom is 2 + 8 + 18 + 6. Selenium forms an ionic compound with potassium. Draw a diagram which shows the formula of this ionic compound, the charges on the ions and the arrangement of the valency electrons around the negative ion. Use o to represent an electron from an atom of potassium. Use x to represent an electron from an atom of selenium. For Examiner’s Use Draw a diagram showing the arrangement of the valency electrons in one molecule of the covalent compound selenium chloride. Use x to represent an electron from an atom of selenium. Use o to represent an electron from an atom of chlorine. Predict two differences in the physical properties of these two compounds. The selenide ion reacts with water. Se2– + H2O → HSe– + OH– What type of reagent is the selenide ion in this reaction? Give a reason for your choice.

Iron from the blast furnace is impure. It contains about 4 % carbon and 0.5 % silicon. Most of this impure iron is used to make mild steel, an alloy of iron containing less then 0.25 % carbon. A jet of oxygen is blown through the molten iron in the presence of a base, usually calcium oxide. Explain how the percentage of carbon is reduced and how the silicon is removed. For Examiner’s Use Why are steel alloys used in preference to iron? State a use of the following alloys. mild steel stainless steel Both iron and steel have typical metallic structures - a lattice of positive ions and a sea of electrons. Suggest an explanation for why they have high melting points. Explain why, when a force is applied to a piece of steel, it does not break but just changes its shape.

A major ore of zinc is zinc blende, ZnS. A by-product of the extraction of zinc from this ore is sulfur dioxide which is used to make sulfuric acid. Zinc blende is heated in air. Zinc oxide and sulfur dioxide are formed. Write the balanced equation for this reaction. Zinc oxide is reduced to zinc by heating with carbon. Name two other reagents which could reduce zinc oxide. The zinc obtained is impure. It is a mixture of metals. Explain how fractional distillation could separate this mixture. zinc bp = 908 °C, cadmium bp = 765 °C, lead bp = 1751 °C For Examiner’s Use Sulfur dioxide is used to make sulfur trioxide in the Contact Process. 2SO2+ O22SO3The forward reaction is exothermic. The conditions used are: temperature: 450 °C pressure: 2 atmospheres catalyst: vanadium(oxide Explain, mentioning both position of equilibrium and rate, why these conditions give the most economic yield.

Hydriodic acid, HI, is a strong acid. Its salts are iodides. It has the reactions of a typical strong acid. Complete the following equations. Li + HI → + zinc carbonate + + + → hydriodic acid MgO + HI → + Two of the reactions in are acid / base and one is redox. Which one is redox? Explain your choice. Describe how you could distinguish between hydriodic, HI, and hydrobromic, HBracids, by bubbling chlorine through these two acids. result with hydriodic acid result with hydrobromic acid For Examiner’s Use 20.0 cm3 of aqueous sodium hydroxide, 2.00 mol / dm3, was placed in a beaker. The temperature of the alkali was measured and 1.0 cm3 portions of hydriodic acid were added. After each addition, the temperature of the mixture was measured. Typical results are shown on the graph. temperature volume of acid added 18.0 cm3 NaOH+ HI→ NaI+ H2OExplain why the temperature increases rapidly at fi rst then stops increasing. Suggest why the temperature drops after the addition of 18.0 cm3 of acid. In another experiment, it was shown that 15.0 cm3 of the acid neutralised 20.0 cm3 of aqueous sodium hydroxide, 1.00 mol / dm3. Calculate the concentration of the acid.

The structural formula of a butanol is given below. CH3 — CH2 — CH2 — CH2 — OH Butanol can be made from petroleum and also by fermentation. Describe the chemistry of making butanol from petroleum by the following route. petroleum → butene → butanol For Examiner’s Use Explain, in general terms, what is meant by fermentation. Butanol can be oxidised to a carboxylic acid by heating with acidifi ed potassium manganate(. Give the name and structural formula of the carboxylic acid. name structural formula Butanol reacts with ethanoic acid to form a liquid, X, which has the sweet smell of bananas. Its empirical formula is C3H6O and its Mr is 116. What type of compound is liquid X? Give the molecular formula of liquid X. Draw the structural formula of X. Show all the individual bonds.

For Examiner’s Use Excess hydrochloric acid was added to powdered zinc. The hydrogen evolved was collected and its volume measured every 20 seconds. The experiments were repeated at the same temperature using the same number of moles of powdered magnesium and aluminium. volume of hydrogen time metal C metal B metal A Identify metals A, B and C by choosing from zinc, magnesium and aluminium. Give a reason for each choice. metal A metal B metal C Using ‘moles’, explain why two of the metals form the same volume of hydrogen but the third metal forms a larger volume.
