A. (1) only
B. (2) only
C. (1) and (3) only
D. (2) and (3) only

##D O2 from the air reacts with coke in a chain of chemical reactions to form CO,
which removes oxygen from Fe2O3 to produce Fe.##

Q2
Which of the following observable changes can be made when a mixture of zinc and
copper(II) oxide is heated strongly and then cooled?
(1) Some white solid forms.
(2) Some yellow solid forms.
(3) Some reddish brown solid forms.
A. (1) only
B. (2) only
C. (1) and (3) only
D. (2) and (3) only

##C Zn(s) + CuO(s)  ZnO(s) + Cu(s)
Zinc oxide is yellow when hot and white when cold.##

Q3
In which of the following experiments will a displacement reaction occur?
(1) Add a magnesium ribbon to lead(II) nitrate solution.
(2) Add an iron nail to silver nitrate solution.
(3) Heat a mixture of iron and copper(II) oxide.

Q4
Element T can form two halides: TCl2 and TBr2. After passing excess chlorine gas to
2.89 g of TBr2, 1.75 g of TCl2 is displaced out. What is the relative atomic mass of T?
(Relative atomic masses: Cl = 35.5, Br = 79.9)
A. 24.4
B. 40.2
C. 55.7
D. 65.3

##D Cl2 + TBr2  Br2 + TCl2
Let the relative atomic mass of T be y.
From the equation, number of moles of TBr2 = number of moles of TCl2
∴ =

y = 65.3##

Q5
The following equation shows the decomposition of sodium hydrogencarbonate:
2NaHCO3(s)  Na2CO3(s) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)
What is the maximum mass of sodium carbonate that can be obtained from 0.10 mol
of sodium hydrogencarbonate?
(Relative atomic masses: C = 12.0, O = 16.0, Na = 23.0)
A. 4.15 g
B. 5.30 g
C. 10.6 g
D. 21.2 g

##B Number of moles Na2CO3 = 0.10 × mol = 0.050 mol

Maximum mass of Na2CO3 = 0.050 × (23.0 × 2 + 12.0 + 16.0 × 3) g = 5.30 g##

Q6
Caesium (Cs) and barium (Ba) are metals in Period 6 of the Periodic Table. Caesium
is an alkali metal while barium is an alkaline earth metal.

(a) Caesium reacts with cold water to give caesium hydroxide. Write a chemical
equation for this reaction. (1 mark)

(b) Caesium hydroxide exists as an ionic crystal under room conditions.


(i) Draw the electron diagram of caesium hydroxide, showing electrons in the
outermost shells only. (1 mark)

(ii) Explain why caesium hydroxide crystals are brittle. (2 marks)

(c) Compare the reactivity of caesium and barium. Explain briefly. (2 marks)

##
(a) 2Cs(s) + 2H2O(l)  2CsOH(aq) + H2(g) 1
(b) (i)

1
(ii) In the giant ionic structure, the caesium ions and hydroxide ions are
held together by strong ionic bonds. 1
When under a great force, the relative movement of the ions brings
ions of the same charge close to each other. This results in repulsion
and so the crystals are brittle. 1

(c) As caesium has one fewer outermost shell electron than barium, caesium
atoms form ions more readily than barium atoms. 1
Therefore, caesium is more reactive than barium. 1

Q7
A thermite reaction is commonly employed to weld metals. In the reaction, iron(III)
oxide is heated with aluminium powder to form molten iron and aluminium oxide.

(a) Which metals, iron or aluminium, is more reactive? Explain briefly. (1 mark)

(b) Draw the electron diagram of aluminium oxide, showing electrons in the
outermost shells only. (1 mark)

(c) Write a chemical equation for the thermite reaction. (1 mark)

(d) Explain whether lead can be used to replace aluminium in the thermite reaction.
(1 mark)

##
(a) Aluminium is more reactive as it can displace iron from iron(III) oxide. 1
(b)

1
(c) 2Al(s) + Fe2O3(s)  2Fe(l) + Al2O3(s) 1
(d) No. Lead is less reactive than iron and so it cannot displace iron from
