Question 1: [Total:11]
The gases Ar, CO2, N2 and O2 are in clean, dry air.
CO, NO, NO2 and SO2 are gases commonly found in polluted air.

(a) What percentage of clean, dry air is N2?

Give your answer to the nearest whole number.
78 % [1]

(b) Name the process used to separate O2 from clean, dry air.
Fractional Distillation [2]

(c) State one major adverse effect of the pollutant SO2.

Acid Rain [1]

(d) NO and NO2 are produced in car engines.

Describe how oxides of nitrogen form in a car engine.
Elevated temperatures are reached as fuel is burned in vehicle engines. Nitrogen
and oxygen from the air combine to create nitrogen monoxide at these high
temperatures and elevated pressure. This nitrogen monoxide reacts with oxygen
in the air to form nitrogen dioxide as it is emitted from vehicle exhaust systems. [2]

(e) Many cars have catalytic converters in their exhaust systems. In a catalytic
converter, most of the CO and NO formed in a car engine is changed into less
harmful products.
Identify these products and state the metal catalyst used.
products
Carbon dioxide (CO2) + Nitrogen gas (N)
catalyst
Platinum [3]

(f) CO is formed from the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels such as methane.
Write a chemical equation to show the incomplete combustion of methane.
4CH4 + 5O2 ==== 2CO + 8H2O + 2C [2]

Question 2: [Total:5]
 Removing insoluble impurities like sand

Adding chlorine to kill bacteria and microbes

White Blue

Boiling point increases

Question 3: [Total:7]

Reversible reaction or reverse

Fossil fuels
 Yield of ammonia increases

Yield of ammonia decreases

(c) State the essential conditions for the manufacture of ammonia by the Haber
process starting from hydrogen and nitrogen. [3]
1. Pressure of the mixture of gases is increased to 200 atmospheres
2. Heated to 450°C
3.  Passed through a tank containing an iron catalyst
