Hey can someone please solve this question and help me with the answer

i have attached the question below as a word document or else if u have de paper, it is question no 13 of november 1998
Title: Re: CHEMISTRY PAPER 1 HERE
Post by: john12345 on June 10, 2009, 12:53:21 pm
also if anyone can please help me with question number 15 in november 1998

Post by: Ghost Of Highbury on June 10, 2009, 12:55:07 pm
don't have the paper

plzz upload it hre

i think the no 13 answer is D.....chlorine produced at the postitive side and sodium at negative

whats the answer in the markscheme
Title: Re: CHEMISTRY PAPER 1 HERE
Post by: esso on June 10, 2009, 01:26:02 pm
the answer is d cause chlorine is produced at the anode ,,, and because it bleaches the indicator the colour becomes white near the anode.....
and at the cathode the alkali is formed which turns indicator blue....

hope i helped,,,,....
Title: Re: CHEMISTRY PAPER 1 HERE
Post by: esso on June 10, 2009, 01:31:01 pm
the answer of 15 in nov 1998 is c....

because to make a reaction go slower.... we have to make the solid bigger...therefore less particles take part in the reaction...leading to less collision and a slower rate of rxn....

option 2 , is to make it less conc. this leads to less solute particles in da acid....therefore slower rate of rxn....


hope i helped...... :)

Hey but what alkali is formed at the cathode
shouldnt hydrogen be formed at the cathode??

Its nov 07 ques 31... mark scheme says it should be B, i say its C..
can anyone tell me how?shouldnt it b C as oxygen is whats added to iron?
Thanks in advance ;D

Yes, hydrogen is produced at the negative electrode, but if you look at the solution left: it's NaOH which is basic.

   Na+         Cl-
   H+          OH-

The ones coloured red are the ones that are produced at the electrodes, and what's left is Sodium hydroxide.

hey tammy thanks a lot for ur help

i had one more doubt about this
why is the sodium hyroxide formed at the cathode, shudnt it just form anywhere in the tube

y is it specifically formed at the cathode?????

nd shudnt de hydrogen formed at the cathode make the cathode area acidic>????
Title: Re: CHEMISTRY PAPER 1 HERE
Post by: esso on June 10, 2009, 03:10:32 pm
NaOH form at the cathode cause the formula is :

2H2O+2e=h2+2OH-

THERFORE HYDROXIDE IONS FORM NEAR THE CATHODE .....
THIS HYDROXIDE IONS MAKE THE INDICATOR COLOUR GOES BLUE....


hope i helped.... :)

hey esso
but since de hydroxide ions are negatively charged shudnt dey be attracted to the positive electrode (anode)
nd how does water gain 2 electrons, where does it get dose 2 electrons from ????

im slightly confused

i understand dat oxidation taked place at the anode with clhorine ions losing electrons to form chlroine gas

and dat reduction takes place at cathode with hydrogen ions gaining electrons from de cathode to form hydrogen gas

den what happens to the remaining sodium ions nd hydroxide ions

how come they form near the cathode???
Title: Re: CHEMISTRY PAPER 1 HERE
Post by: esso on June 10, 2009, 03:24:53 pm
since the hydroxide ions form near the cathode .... they attract the sodium ions and form at the cathode.....

.....dont have to know in detail though....

water gains electrons from the cathode ,,, therefore reduction takes place as u said .....

thanks a lot esso
+ rep for u
however dude i dont get it why do de hydroxide ions form near the cathode shudnt dey be attracted to de anode dats wat i dont undersatdn
i understand dat sodium ions are formed near de cathode since dey are attracted to the cathode as they are positive ions

nd dude y does water gain 2 electrons to form hydroxide
shudnt water naturally dissociate to form the hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions

because we have never been taught about water gaining 2 electrons from de cathode to form de hydroxde ions + hydrogen

we have been told dat water dissociates to produce hydrogen ions _ hydroxide ions

nd for hydroxide weve learnt that

4OH- = 2H20 + O2 + 4 electrons

can u please help as to why water gains two electrons from the cathode?????????/

Let’s first consider the ions present
H+  OH-

Na+  Cl-



what exactly happens in the solution when electricity is passed through

The negative electrode(cathode) attracts the Hydrogen ions are attracted to it. They accept electrons to form hydrogen gas(which does not produce any change in the indicator)

At the positive electrode(anode), chloride ions are attracted. Here they lose two electrons to form chlorine gas. The chlorine bleaches the indicator.

The ions remaining form sodium hydroxide but the color change to blue is observed at the other electrode only because at the anode the indicator is bleached.


Ask again if u don't understand

oh allright got it thanx a lot nid. really nice of u to help

one more thing so de hydrogen formed at cathode doesnt affect de indicator becoz its as gas nd not as H+ ions,is dat de reason why de hydrogen gas has no effect on de indicator???

also so de sodium hydroxide is formed everywhere however it only affects the cathode region, because at the anode the litmus paper is bleached.. is dat rite
so if de litmus paper had not been bleached den even at de anode the litmus paper would have turned blue??

nd before chlroine turns damp blue litmus paper white it first turn the damn blue litmus paper red rite?? y is dat

nd one more question will sulphur dioxide gas react weith sodium hydroxide.. if yes what are the products

+ rep for u. Thanks a lot for ur help. hope im not wasting too much of ur time

which country r u from??

hydrogen gas simply does not affect the indicator. H+ions affect indiacators(since acids contain them)
if the indicator was not bleached it would have turned it blue throughout
It is in indicator in a solution(it's a universal indicator not litmus paper). *Chlorine does not turn litmus paper red anyways. The indicator is green in neutral solutions.

Sulphur dioxide will also react directly with bases such as sodium hydroxide solution. If sulphur dioxide is bubbled through sodium hydroxide solution, sodium sulphite solution is formed first followed by sodium hydrogensulphite solution when the sulphur dioxide is in excess. But y do u want to know this??

dude it cannot be C bcoz carbon is only used to make only industrial steel n they r asking abt different types of steel which means more than one type so the answer is chromium n nickel because they r transition elements the answer is B

hey no nid the question is complete

even i though its weird but dats all de question says
de markscheme says its oxidation

i guesss it cant be neutralisation cause in dat hydrogen ions are involved not atoms nd hence it must be oxidation as atoms are involved in oxidation

also ions take part in displacement so it cant be dat

i guess??

Last one has to be iron.
Copper oxide is black.
Sodium carbonate doesn't decompose.
Iron oxide is yellow.
Lead oxide is dark brown-black

ok itz defi sodium 4 da 1st

but guyz 4 da 2nd...itz 'b'.....itz using copper electrodes wich r active electrodes.......im sure u hv don't da purification of copper using electrolysis...itz da same thng

n 3rd.....im not sure but i thnk itz sodium bcuz itz an alkali wich forms white compounds....

plz nid or any1...correct me if im wrong.....thnku :)
IT CANT BE B for da second one because the overall concentration of cu2+ ions remain the saME its jus the copper frm the anode tht gets coated on the cathode
n abt 3 it culd be copper

it cannot be sodium because carbonates of highly reactive metals are quite stable n do not  decompose on heating except lithium i think n copper oxide i think is yellow sort of

plz correct me if im wrong

No kidding, but I've never even heard of zinc carbonate :P
But, sodium carbonate doesn't decomposes, lead oxide is black, copper oxide is black, iron oxide is yellow..so iron is the only thing possible. Even if you consider sodium, sodium oxide is white.

Copper is low in the reactivity series, and doesn't react with acids or steam/cold water.
Magnesium reacts with steam and acids but not with cold water unless crushed.
Calcium reacts with all, acids, steam and cold water.
Thus, only calcium and magnesium react to form hydrogen.

Title: Re: CHEMISTRY PAPER 1 HERE
Post by: .... on June 11, 2009, 12:06:28 pm
I stand corrected.
Indeed, lead (II) oxide is yellow and lead (I) oxide is dark brown. And lead (II) carbonate is, undoubtedly, white. Thus answer has to be lead.
Thank you Triple_A.

Water has a pH of 7, so when it is added to a pH4 substance, it will try to bring the pH of the substance to 7. Since 8 is above 7, it is wrong. The pH can't remain same, and neither can it become further acidic, so it has to be the one that is close to 7, or slightly less than it. That is 6.

it has nothing to do with hydroxide..

when u add water it becomes diluted so its ph increases...

LOW PH+high PH=neutral
high ph+ high ph= alkaline
low ph+ low ph= acidic
 in this case a low ph and a neutral would give u weak acidic only
further xplanation of the results of neutralisation i think is nt needed!

the answer is ''A'',because,the number of molecules for successful collisions are less and also if the acid is less concentrated,the number of molecules in the same volume present,are less,and hence,less number of successful collisions in the same period of time,and hence,a slower reaction rate.

but burrete is vry accurate ,when compared with m.cylinder,and its used to measure varying volumes,like 35.5 or 47.2

An aqueous solution contains barium iodide.
It is possible to obtain a solution that contains Ba2+(aq) but no I–(aq) by adding ……1…… until no
more ……2…… precipitate forms.

Which words correctly complete gaps 1 and 2?
1                                             2
A aqueous lead(II) nitrate         white
B aqueous lead(II) nitrate         yellow
C dilute sulphuric acid               white
D dilute sulphuric acid               yellow


help please...need an explanation..

U omit C and D first cuz if u want barium ions in the solution that reacting it with acid gives sulphate which is not soluble.
Since u want barium ions to be in the solution, u want iodide to precipitate so that it can be filtered. So u add Lead nitrate and this will react with barium iodide to give barium nitrate and lead iodide(which is yellow). lead iodide can be filtered as it is insoluble and will precipitate. the solution will contain no iodide ions.

I hope it's clear... :-\

For 3, there would be no loss in mass, as any gas produced would remain inside the conical flask, and not be able to excape through the stopper.

which process can convert molecules to a new substance by removing hydrogen atoms
A displacement
B fermentation
C neutralisation
D oxidation

how do you solve this question
john it is oxidation By the way it is not der 4r us it cums in O-levels loss of hydrogen is oxidation

Just didn't strike my mind...thanx for reminding and moreover for helping john :)

Lithium is a group 1 metal so it forms hydroxide and hydrogen

Group 2 metals react to form metal oxide and hydrogen(but magnesium reacts with steam to give hydroxide

Umm no, conservation of mass = mass of products is always equal to mass of reactants. So, to show the rate of reaction, a decrease in mass must occur.

Read the question correctly. Sodium oxide, when in solution it forms OH-ions which give the pH for the solution and changes pH of water(7) to 12

For this, you have to form a balanced equation for the combustion of each of them. The one that forms a balanced equation with 8O2 is the correct one.
The answer is B, because...

C6H9OH  +  8O2  -----> 6CO2  +  5H2O

You can form a balanced equation with B, so B is the answer

Can someone explain Nov 03 Q 16 aaanndd Jun 04 Q15? Thanks

Nov 03 Q 16 decreases since hydrogen is lighter than oxygen and  increases

Jun 04 Q15 C since weak bonds take little energy to break and strong bonds give out a lot of energy when they are made

the second que goes like this
energy required to break the bonds - energy required to form bonds
so if the bonds are weaker less energy will be required to break dem n if the bonds formed r strong den more energy will be required to form dem n thus the answer u get will be neative indicating it is exo

Chlorine is more reactive than bromine, so it will displace bromine from its compounds. Iodine is less reactive so won't displace bromine.
Title: Re: CHEMISTRY PAPER 1 HERE
Post by: sweetsh on June 11, 2009, 05:39:37 pm
According to the halogens..
F
Cl
Br
I
At
So the KBr can react with Cl making a displacement rxn but the Kbr cant react with I because I is less reactive than Br..
So the answer is B
Title: Re: CHEMISTRY PAPER 1 HERE
Post by: AS girl on June 11, 2009, 05:43:45 pm
f is the most reactive halogen and so can displace all the others...as u go down reactivity decreases

F
Cl
Br
I
At

so Cl would be able to displace all the halogens which are below them but not above and so on!

S has many oxidation states including -2,0,2,4,6...
in this particular reaction the oxidation state of S is "+2"
a decrease in oxidation state - reduction
an increase in oxidation state - oxidation

1.) S + O2 -> SO2
     here at the left handside, as sulphur exists itself (not compound), the oxidation state is 0
          at the right hand sidde it forms a compound and gains an oxidation state of +2 = this is oxidation
          whereas O has an oxidation state of "0" in the left hand side and decreases to -4 in the right hand side
               this is reduction

therefore its redox

it's a little difficult to explain
but i'll try...in the first one Sulphur gains oxygen atoms(oxidation) but oxygen gains electrons(reduction).
in the second one sulphur gains oxygen but oxygen gains electrons
whereas in third one although oxygen is gained, there is no transfer of electrons and hydrogen does not lose oxygen but combines with SO4
It's very difficult to explain.

* Oxygen's oxidation state reduces in the covalent bond it forms with sulphur

4 _ A ,cuz X is ionic so is solube in water and is the filterate while Y is organic so solube in organic solvents and is in the filterate too

15 _ A , cuz when 5g of X REACT WID 1000 cm , 500cm only react while the excess 500 are used to warm the mixture so when 500cm of water only react wid 5g then then all the 500cm react and there is no excess to warm the mixture and raise the temperature so the the decrease will be double

37 _ C cuz an acid will react with the carbonate to give bubbles of CO2
hope this helps

OK June 2005.

Which reacts with cold water only when finely powdered?
A. Calcium
B. Copper
C. Sodium
D. Magnesium

I put Sodium because its higher in the reactivity series, but the ms said magnesium...
WHY?? help urgently..?

Post by: simba on June 11, 2009, 08:05:02 pm
4 _ A ,cuz X is ionic so is solube in water and is the filterate while Y is organic so solube in organic solvents and is in the filterate too

15 _ A , cuz when 5g of X REACT WID 1000 cm , 500cm only react while the excess 500 are used to warm the mixture so when 500cm of water only react wid 5g then then all the 500cm react and there is no excess to warm the mixture and raise the temperature so the the decrease will be double

37 _ C cuz an acid will react with the carbonate to give bubbles of CO2
hope this helps
good luck ;) ;)

Thanks man

Post by: GodOfWar on June 11, 2009, 08:10:15 pm
will someone help me in quetion 4 ,15, and 37 in nov.08

Q4 [A] --> well, its kinda hard to explain buh the main reason is becuz X being an ionic salt will dissolve (though all of them wont without heat) but Y wont being organic (like petrol), so u filter it out in 1,  and in 2 its the opposite cuz being organic Y HAS TO dissolve in ethanol.
Q15  ---> im not really sure miself, i chose B (its wrong; the rite answer is A) cuz the amount of reactant is decreasing, so they need less energy to form a product.
Q37 [C]--> thats one of the easiest really. Any Carbonate upon reacting with an acid will always produce CO2, so u get bubbles of gas.

4 the june 2005 ques they want the metal that cant react wid cold water except wen finely powdered
so calcium can react even if its not powdered
and sodium th same thing
copper cant react
Mg reacts with steam and reacts SLOWLY wid water so wen we powder it it will react readily
gd luck ;)

the answer is d cause chlorine is produced at the anode ,,, and because it bleaches the indicator the colour becomes white near the anode.....
and at the cathode the alkali is formed which turns indicator blue....

hope i helped,,,,....

Hey but what alkali is formed at the cathode
shouldnt hydrogen be formed at the cathode??








 hydrogen forms at cathod ..see all non matels except for hydrogen forms at anode and all metal icludin hydrogen forms a cathode! if it molten hydrogen is not at anode and in aq and in concetrated hydrogen is formed....

D. Magnesium

I put Sodium because its higher in the reactivity series, but the ms said magnesium...
WHY?? help urgently..?

Well. cuz Na is in the 1st group so it WILL react with cold water. Cu is very unreactive so obviously it wont. So u have Mg and Ca.
Ca like u said is more reactive, so it will react more readily while Mg will have to altered alittle to make it react.

well i finally understood it
u see the oxidation is easy to get since sulphur gains oxygen atom
now reduction: the oxidation is where the oxygen here becomes from an atom of no oxidation state to losing being of oxidation state of -2 in SO4, thus lose of oxidation state is reduction . that's it ;D!

well its in the chapter "PERIODIC TABLE"..where one of the things u gotta learn is that from group II elements magnesium and beryllium react only with steam...and with cold water if powdered, to produce their oxide and liberate hydrogen..while as u knw otha elements of group II react with cold water to form their hydroxide and liberate hydrogen gas

It is just like physics. It takes double the amount of heat energy to increase the temperature of 1000 cm3 of water by 1 degree celsius, than to increase the temperature of 500, by 1 degree. Thus, if there is half the volume of water, and the same amount of heat, the temperature change will be double. Take an example of sharing money (assume, it is heat) between 10 children (assume its 1000 cm3 of water). If we half the number of children to 5 (volume decreased to 500), the amount of money each will get, will double (temperature increases). :)

Post by: angell on June 12, 2009, 03:24:30 am

B because in a displacement reaction, a more reactive element displaces the less reactive one, therefore, CHLORINE is more reactive than BROMINE, and displaces it, hence BR2 is formed, which turns the solution brown!

Read up displacement reactions in ''The Periodic Table''

and for m/j 03

it is white to blue because it is 'hydrated'. it i s a copper sulphate salt, reversible reaction, when u add water it goes from white to blue. when u heat it, water is taken away, so blue to white!
Title: Re: CHEMISTRY PAPER 1 HERE
Post by: kam on June 12, 2009, 03:34:56 am
sorry amy i had the wrong paper
yes it is at first hydrated(with water) then dehydrates
notice they r asking about the products not reactants
 white toblue cuz when heated it turns white
then if u add water it turns blue
heat energy is taken out bcuz when u turn hydrated copper 2 sulphate its exothermic
but when opposite its endo

@angelll, u r right too
i just  wnted to explain the energy part as well

yes im 100% sure. See when the two react, KOH is in excess..it still remains in the solution after the reaction is over. The pH of the solution increases as the alkali is in excess. I've tried my best to explain it.
luk man der is no other possibility by which the pH can increase so its simple tht KOH is in excess
