Question 4. [4]

Draw two resonance structures each for:

(a) hydrogencarbonate anion (HCO3-) [2]

(b) nitrate anion (NO3-) [2]

Make sure the formal charges and overall charge are correct!

Question 5. [2]

A single bond has one sigma (σ) bond. A double bond has a σ bond plus a second type of
bond. What is the second type of bond called? [1] And, in the molecule
C2H4, (which has a C=C double bond), what kind of orbital is involved in this second type of
bond? [1]

Question 6. [6]

What is the formula for the Gibbs free energy (ΔG) change of a reaction, in terms of the
enthalpy (ΔH) and entropy (ΔS) changes? [1]

At high enough temperatures, hydrogen sulphide can be oxidised to sulphur dioxide. Balance
the following equation. (All compounds are in the gas phase.) [1]
____ H2S + ____ O2  ____ SO2 + ____ H2O

What is the reaction enthalpy for this process? [2]

(The enthalpies of formation for the chemicals involved are:
H2S: -21 kJ/mol SO2: -297 kJ/mol H2O (g): -242 kJ/mol)

Is this an heterogenous or a homogenous reaction? [1]

Is this an endothermic or an exothermic reaction? [1]

Question 7. [5]

N2O3 is an oxide which can be formed by combining NO and NO2. Below a certain
temperature, the reaction is as follows.
NO(g) +NO2 (g) ⇄ N2O3 (l)

What is the enthalpy of this reaction? [2]

(The enthalpies of formation are approximately as follows:
NO(g): +91 kJ/mol NO2(g): +33 kJ/mol N2O3(l): +91 kJ/mol)

State two ways of shifting the equilibrium to the right. [2]

Carbon can exist as graphite or as other forms, including C60, a buckminster-fullerene.

The reaction
60C (s, graphite)  C60 (s)
has ΔGr about +2300kJ/mol (ΔHr is about the same). Neither graphite nor C60 turn into each
other very easily; both are stable, with respect to conversion to the other.
Which one is thermodynamically stable, and which one is kinetically stable? [1]
