Match the following pH values to the solutions given below. 1 3 7 10 13 The solutions all have the same concentration. solution pH aqueous ammonia, a weak base dilute hydrochloric acid, a strong acid aqueous sodium hydroxide, a strong base aqueous sodium chloride, a salt dilute ethanoic acid, a weak acid Explain why solutions of hydrochloric acid and ethanoic acid with the same concentration, in mol / dm3, have a different pH. Measuring pH is one way of distinguishing between a strong acid and a weak acid. Describe another method. method results

The main use of sulfur dioxide is the manufacture of sulfuric acid. State two other uses of sulfur dioxide. One source of sulfur dioxide is burning sulfur in air. Describe how sulfur dioxide can be made from the ore zinc sulﬁ de. The Contact process changes sulfur dioxide into sulfur trioxide. 2SO2+ O22SO3the forward reaction is exothermic temperature 400 to 450 °C low pressure 1 to 10 atmospheres catalyst vanadium(oxide What is the formula of vanadium(oxide? Vanadium(oxide is an efﬁ cient catalyst at any temperature in the range 400 to 450 °C. Scientists are looking for an alternative catalyst which is efﬁ cient at 300 °C. What would be the advantage of using a lower temperature? The process does not use a high pressure because of the extra expense. Suggest two advantages of using a high pressure? Explain your suggestions. Sulfuric acid is made by dissolving sulfur trioxide in concentrated sulfuric acid to form oleum. Water is reacted with oleum to form more sulfuric acid. Why is sulfur trioxide not reacted directly with water?

Iron is extracted from the ore hematite in the Blast Furnace. slag molten iron air firebrick lining CO forms CO2 forms waste gases raw materials: coke, C iron ore, Fe2O3 limestone, CaCO3 The coke reacts with the oxygen in the air to form carbon dioxide. C + O2 → CO2 Explain why carbon monoxide is formed higher in the Blast Furnace. Write an equation for the reduction of hematite, Fe2O3, by carbon monoxide. Limestone decomposes to form two products, one of which is calcium oxide. Name the other product. Calcium oxide reacts with silicon(oxide, an acidic impurity in the iron ore, to form slag. Write an equation for this reaction. Explain why the molten iron and the molten slag form two layers and why molten iron is the lower layer. Suggest why the molten iron does not react with the air. Iron and steel rust. Iron is oxidised to hydrated iron(oxide, Fe2O3.2H2O, which is rust. Name the two substances which cause iron to rust. Explain why an aluminium article coated with aluminium oxide is protected from further corrosion but a steel article coated with rust continues to corrode. There are two electrochemical methods of rust prevention. The ﬁ rst method is sacriﬁ cial protection. Explain why the steel article does not rust. block of zinc connected electrically to steel pipe steel pipe The second method is to make the steel article the cathode in a circuit for electrolysis. – + power inert anode steel girder bubbles of hydrogen gas sea-water Mark on the diagram the direction of the electron ﬂ ow. The steel girder does not rust because it is the cathode. Reduction takes place at the cathode. Give the equation for the reduction of hydrogen ions.

Three common pollutants in the air are carbon monoxide, the oxides of nitrogen, NO and NO2, and unburnt hydrocarbons. They are all emitted by motor vehicles. Describe how the oxides of nitrogen are formed. Describe how a catalytic converter reduces the emission of these three pollutants. Other atmospheric pollutants are lead compounds from leaded petrol. Explain why lead compounds are harmful.

Esters, polyesters and fats all contain the ester linkage. Esters can be made from alcohols and carboxylic acids. For example, the ester ethyl ethanoate can be made by the following reaction. CH3COOH + CH3CH2OH → CH3COOCH2CH3 + H2O Name the carboxylic acid and the alcohol from which the following ester could be made. CH2 C O O CH2 CH3 CH3 name of carboxylic acid name of alcohol 6.0 g of ethanoic acid, Mr = 60, was reacted with 5.5 g of ethanol, Mr = 46. Determine which is the limiting reagent and the maximum yield of ethyl ethanoate, Mr = 88. number of moles of ethanoic acid = number of moles of ethanol = the limiting reagent is number of moles of ethyl ethanoate formed = maximum yield of ethyl ethanoate = The following two monomers can form a polyester.

Nitrogen can form ionic compounds with reactive metals and covalent compounds with non-metals. Nitrogen reacts with lithium to form the ionic compound lithium nitride, Li3N. Write the equation for the reaction between lithium and nitrogen. Lithium nitride is an ionic compound. Draw a diagram which shows its formula, the charges on the ions and the arrangement of the valency electrons around the negative ion. Use x for an electron from a lithium atom. Use o for an electron from a nitrogen atom. Nitrogen ﬂ uoride is a covalent compound. Draw a diagram showing the arrangement of the valency electrons in one molecule of the covalent compound nitrogen triﬂ uoride, NF3. Use x for an electron from a nitrogen atom. Use o for an electron from a ﬂ uorine atom. Lithium nitride has a high melting point, 813 °C. Nitrogen triﬂ uoride has a low melting point, –207 °C. Explain why the melting points are different.
