1 This question is about nitrogen and compounds of nitrogen.

(a) Nitrogen molecules have the formula N2.

Some properties of nitrogen are shown:

● melting point of –210 °C


● boiling point of –196 °C
● non-conductor of electricity when solid
● insoluble in water.

(i) Name the type of bonding between the atoms in an N2 molecule.

....................................................................................................................................... [1]

(ii) Explain, in terms of attractive forces between particles, why nitrogen has a low melting
point.

.............................................................................................................................................

....................................................................................................................................... [1]

(iii) Explain why nitrogen does not conduct electricity.

(b) Ammonia is made in the laboratory by heating ammonium chloride with calcium

hydroxide. Balance the chemical equation for the reaction.

.....NH4Cl + Ca(OH)2 → .....NH3 + CaCl 2 + .....H2O

2(a) A compound Y has the following composition by mass: C, 58.82%; H, 9.80%; O, 31.37%.

Calculate the empirical formula of Y.

empirical formula = .............................. [3]

(b) A compound Z has the empirical formula C3H6O and a relative molecular

mass of 116.

Calculate the molecular formula of Z.

molecular formula = ............................. [1]

(c) Strontium chloride-6-water can be made from the insoluble compound, strontium
carbonate, by the following reactions.

SrCO3(s) + 2HCl(aq) → SrCl 2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)


SrCl 2 (aq) + 6H2O(l) → SrCl 2.6H2O(s)

methanoate, C3 H7CO2H

C3H7OH + HCO2H → C3H7CO2H + H2O

4.0g of methanoic acid was reacted with 6.0 g of propanol.
