A1 a lithium oxide 1

b carbon monoxide 1

c sulphur trioxide 1

d aluminium oxide 1

e vanadium (V) oxide 1

f Sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide or sulphur 1

trioxide

A2 a Ionic bonding with cation and anion 1

correctly shown
Stable octet clearly indicated 1
(Do not read further if ionic bonding is not
indicated.)

b Covalent bonding clearly shown 1

Electrons correctly shared between Cl and 1
O
(Do not read further if covalent bonding is
not indicated.)

c SiO2 - giant molecular structure 1

P4O6 – simple molecular structure 1
More energy needed to break the network 1
of bonds in SiO2 than the bonds in P4O6

A3 a Burette or pipette 1

b It is a catalyst. 1

c A colourless solution of sodium chloride 1

and a black precipitate of manganese (IV)
oxide
 d i No of moles of NaClO3 used =
(20*0.1)/1000 1
= 0.002
Number of moles of O2 expected =
(0.002*3)/2 1
= 0.003
Volume of O2 = 0.003*24
= 0.0 72 dm3

ii O2 is soluble in water. 1

A4 a Fractional distillation of liquid air 1

b Catalytic cracking of petroleum 1

c There would be more collisions between 1

the particles.
This would increase the speed of the
reaction 1

d NH4NO3 : (28/80)*100
(NH4)2SO4 : (28/132)*100
(NH2)2CO : (28/60)*100 1
Urea has the most nitrogen per kilogram 1

e i Addition polymerisation 1
There is a carbon to carbon double bond in 1
the monomer or it is unsaturated.

ii Polyacrylonitrile 1

iii Structural formula of polyacrylonitrile with 1

C-C bonds

A5 a H – F bond 1
Its bond energy is the highest. 1

b H2 + F2  2HF 1

Enthalpy change = 436 + 158 – 2(565)

= - 536 kJmol-1 1
(No marks if sign is not shown)
 c Exothermic 1

The breaking of the H2 and F2 bonds is

endothermic. The forming of the HF bonds
is exothermic. 1
However, as the bond energy for 2 mols of
HF bonds is greater than the total bond
energy for 1 mol of H2 and 1 mol F2 bonds,
the overall reaction is exothermic. 1

A6 a Copper, nickel, iron, zinc, scandium 1

b Pink deposit of copper 1

SECTION B

Qn Part Sub Answer Marks

No Part
B1 a % of O2 in air = 20 %
Volume of O2 in 10 dm3 of air = 2 dm3
Volume of O2 in exhaust gases = (9/100) * 10
= 0.9 dm3 1
Volume of O2 reacted with gasoline = 2 – 0.9
= 1.1 1
dm3

b Nitrogen is unreactive and passes through 1

the car engine unchanged.
Carbon dioxide and water are products of the 1
combustion of gasoline.

c Carbon dioxide 1
Global warming could result in the melting of
the polar ice caps, rising sea levels and 1
increased flooding.
d The temperature in the car engine is high. 1
The surface area of the converter is large. 1

e Carbon monoxide is converted into carbon `

dioxide
Hence, a reduction in CO but an increase in
CO2
Nitrogen oxides are converted into nitrogen
and oxygen
Hence, a reduction in oxides of nitrogen but
an increase in N2
Unburnt hydrocarbons react with the oxygen 1
above to produce carbon dioxide and water
Hence, a reduction in unburnt hydrocarbons
but an increase in H2O while O2 remains
constant. 1
(Full mark of 1 only if all the data is referred
to)
2CO + O2  2CO2
2NO  N2 + O2
2C8H18 + 25O2  16CO2 + 18H2O
(Full mark of 1 for any 2 equations)
B2 a The hot oxygen evolved burns away the 1
carbon anodes 1
C + O2  CO2

b The melting point of bauxite is over 2000oC. 1

The addition of cryolite reduces its melting 1
point to well below 1000oC.

c Labelled diagram of electrolytic cell with 1

complete circuit 1
 Cathode is nickel and anode is silver

d At the anode:
Ag (s)  Ag+(aq) + e- 1

At the cathode:
Ag+(aq) + e-  Ag (s) 1

e A is sodium sulphate 1
B is sodium chloride 1

B3 a The 2 monomers are

H2N - -NH2 and HOOC - 1,1

- COOH
1
The 2 monomers join and eliminate a water
molecule.
b Both nylon and protein are polyamides. They 1
both contain amide linkages.
However, proteins are made up of amino acid 1
units with -COOH and -NH2 in their
molecules while nylons are made up of
diamine H2N- -NH2 and dicarboxylic
HOOC- _- - -COOH molecules.

c i Heat with dilute hydrochloric acid. 1,1

ii A chromatogram is spotted with proline and 1

lysine. 1
The paper is left for some time to dry and
then sprayed with ninhydrin to make the
amino acids visible. 1

Scientific diagram should include appropriate

apparatus and labels.

B4 a C4H9COOH 1

Mr = 102 1

b The data provided does not show a

consistent decrease in the melting points 1
while they do show a consistent increase with
the boiling points.

c Accept any correctly drawn isomer of 1

propanoic acid
d
Element Mass/Ar Molar Ratio 1
C 0.060/12 0.005
H 0.010/1 0.010
O 0.160/16 0.010
Empirical formula is CH2O2

e Magnesium ethanoate and water 1

2CH3COOH + MgO  (CH3COO)2Mg + 1

H2O

f Preparation - Equal volumes of ethanol and

ethanoic acid are placed in a boiling tube.
The boiling tube is swirled to ensure that the
liquids are thoroughly mixed. A few drops of
concentrated sulphuric acid are added to act 1
as a catalyst. The mixture is heated in a water
bath.

Collection - The mixture is poured into a 1

beaker containing 5% sodium
hydrogencarbonate solution. The ester ethyl
ethanoate floats while the unreacted acid
dissolves in the solution.

(Award no marks if any step is missing in the

preparation or collection respectively)
