Section B: Structured Questions: [70%]

1. ∆H = 3(391) + 3(154) – 3(565) – 3(272)
= -876 (kJ/mol)

2. (a) From copper to silver

(b) higher voltage, because Mg is more electropositive than Cu
(c) K+ ions
(d) The intensity of blue Cu2+ solution will increase. The size of copper electrode will decrease.

3. Let the hydrocarbon be CaHb.

V(O2 used) = 140 – 35 = 105 (mL) 𝑎=2 𝑏=6
Ans: The molecular formula of X is C2H6.

4. (a) Let the diprotic acid be H2A.

𝑄
H2A + 2 NaOH → Na2A + 2 H2O Q = mc ∆T ∆H = - 𝑛 x 2
0.27972
n (NaOH) = 0.25(0.02) = 0.005 (mol) = (30 x 1) (4.2) (2.22) =- 0.005
x2
n (H2O) = 0.005 (mol) = 279.72 (J) = - 111.88 (kJ/mol)

(b) The acid should be sulphuric acid. Some of the heat is lost to the surrounding.

5. (a) 1 x 103 s, it is because the gradient of the tangent at 1 x 103 s is steeper.

(b) Any one:
1. Increase the concentration of hydrogen peroxide
2. Increase the temperature of hydrogen peroxide
3. Adding MnO4 as catalyst

(c) n (H2O2) = 20(0.5) = 10 (mol)

7. (a) Electrodes A and C

(b) 4 OH- (aq) → O2 (g) + 2 H2O (l) + 4 e-
(c) (i) M is copper
(ii) Q = It 2 H+ + 2 e- → H2

8. (a) C2H5OH (l) + 3 O2 → 2 CO2 (g) + 3 H2O (l) ∆H = -1367 kJ/mol

𝑄
(b) ∆H = - Q = mc ∆T

- 1411 = - 0.02 28.22 x 103 = m 4.2 (30-25)
Q = 28.22 (kJ) m = 1343.8 (g)
(c) C2H4 will be a better fuel as it has higher enthalpy of combustion. When same amount of fuel is used,
C2H4 can release more heat.

9. (a) (i) 2,3-dimethylpentane

(ii) 2-bromo-4-chloropentane
(iii) 4-bromo-3-methylheptane
(iv) 1,1-dimethylcyclohexane
