1.a) State any three factors that must be possessed by liquids which are seperable by
fractional distillation (3)
b.) An ink solution contains the same three dyes dissolved Ina mixture of alcahol and
water. The alcahol boils at 78°C.
i) Name the process by which the alcahol can be extracted from the ink solution (1)
ii) draw a diagram to show how the separation is performed (7)
iii) What is the importance of the following apparatus in the separation technique :
Thermometer, Fractionating column and water Condenser
(d.) Give a specific example of:
i) a pure element
ii) a mixture of two elements
iii) a mixture of an element and a compound
iv) a mixture of two compounds (4)
4.) There are two samples of CO2.The other one contains Carbon 12 and the other one
contains Carbon 14.
a) Which sample of CO2 has higher boiling point?
Explain Why. (3)
b) Explain why the two samples of CO2 have similar chemical properties. (2)
c) Carbon-14 is a radioactive isotope. What do you understand by the term radioactive
isotope? (2)
d) Give a use of carbon-14(1)
e) Give two examples of radioactive isotopes and mention their uses. (4)
5.) One member of the alkane series is ethane which has molecular formula C2H6.All the
alkanes have simple molecular structures with weak Van der Waals forces as inter
molecular forces.
a) Draw a 'dot and cross' electronic diagram to show the bonding in ethane.(2)
b) What is the empirical formula of ethane? (1)
c) Another member of the alkane series has 6 carbon atoms and is called hexane. It is a
liquid at room temperature.
i) Why is the boiling point of hexane greater than that of ethane?( 2)
ii) Give two other physical properties which are different for ethane and hexane. (2)
d.) Carbon monoxide can be converted into Carbon dioxide.
i) Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction (2)
ii)Explain why this conversion also is not good for the environment. (2)
iii) What is the percentage of carbon dioxide in air? (1)
iv) How can the presence of carbon dioxide in air be reduced? (1)
