During sublimation, the temperature remains constant.

When all the ice has sublimed, continued heating will cause the
temperature of the water vapour to rise.

2p orbitals.

18 (a) (ii) NH3 has a lone pair electron which can donor to BF3 that has 1
insufficient electron to form a dative bond. 1

18 (b) Water has higher boiling point than ammonia. 1

Oxygen atom has two lone pair electrons. So each H2O molecules 1
can form two intermolecular hydrogen bonding. 1

Nitrogen atom in ammonia has only one lone pair electron. Thus 1
each NH3 molecule can form only one intermolecular hydrogen 1
bonding.

This shows that the rate of reaction against the concentration of X is
a constant. 1
Thus, the reaction is zero order with respect to X.

20 (a) Kw is the ionic product for water. 1

Since the water dissociation process is endothermic, thus the heating 1
process will cause the equilibrium position shift to the right.
H2O(l) H+(aq) + OH-(aq) ∆H = +ve

Thus, Kw will increase with the heating process. 1
