Q

Explain why diamond is hard but graphite is soft

A

Because diamond has a rigid lattice structure whereas

graphite is arranged in layers which can Slide Over each other

(This has nothing to do with the fact that they are both giant covalent substances.giant covalent just means that the atoms can go on an on in the structure, and that there are no molecules)

Q

Explain how a decreased concentration of ions, in the reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid, decreases the rate of reaction

A

-less ions in the same volume
-therefore less frequent successful collisions
-per second
-so rate of reaction decreases

Q

Stage 1 pour 50 cm
3 of dilute sulfuric acid into a beaker
Stage 2 warm the acid using a Bunsen burner
Stage 3 add a small amount of copper(I) oxide to the warm acid and stir the mixture
Stage 4 add further amounts of copper(I) oxide until copper(Il) oxide is in excess
Stage 5 filter the mixture
Stage 6 obtain crystals from the filtrate

Explain why in stage five the mixture is filtered

A

To remove the Excess solid, which is copper (ii)oxide from the solution,
So that you can obtain the copper (ii) sulfate solution

Q

Explain how you can obtain a pure dry sample of a salt solution 6 marks

A

1)Heat in an evaporating basin to evaporate SOME of the water
2)keep heating until crystals are formed, which you can test with a glass rod
3) leave to cool,to form proper crystals(bc less soluble in cool temperatures)
4)remove the crystals by filtration
5)dry by leaving in a warm oven , to evaporate rest if the water
6)pat dry with a towel

Q

State five properties that a metal should have to be used as a saucepan

A

-good conductor of heat
-high density
-High boiling point
-should resist corrosion
-should not react with the food

25
Q

What is an alloy

A

a mixture of two or more elements, one of which is a metal

26
Q

2 reasons why fermentation is done in the absence of air

A

1) for anaerobic respiration, OTEHRWISE no ethanol can be produced, and instead carbon dioxide and water will be
2)Otehriwse the oxygen will react with the ethanol produced to oxidize it and produce ethanoic acid

27
Q

State the colour change when potassium dichromate solution is added to ethanol, and explain why

A

Orange to green (bc of the presence of Cr3+ ions)

28
Q

How are oxides of nitrogen made in a car engine

A

The high temperatures of the engine allow nitrogen and oxygen, both in the air to react with each other

29
Q

When chlorine gas is produced explain a safety precaution and why

A

Use a fume cupboard , because chlorine gas is poisonous

30
Q

When using hydrochloric acid, explain a safety precaution and explain why

A

Wear goggles because acid may be corrosive

31
Q

iii) Identify a method to separate water from copper(II) sulfate solution

A

Simple distillation

(Whenever they ask to separate a LIQUID from a solid then it’s simple distillation)
(If its for eg a solid from a liquid then you could use crystallization)

32
Q

Give three examples of the names of the types of ways to prevent iron form rusting

A

Sacrificial protection, using a more reactive metal
Barrier methods such as coating in paint or oil
Galvanizing (A COMBINATION OF BOTH METHODS WHICH USES ZINC SPECIFICALLY)

33
Q

In the reaction to show diffusion, between cotton wool soaked in hydrogen chloride gas and ammonia gas, which side does the ring of ammonium chloride form closest to and why

A

Forms closest to the hydrogen chloride side
Because ammonia gas travels faster than hydrogen chloride, as it is lighter
So it therefore travels further in the same amount of time

34
Q

Explain why the diffusion of gases doesn’t occur immediately and requires some moments before

A

Because gases move in random directions and collide with the air particles first

35
Q

Give the percentage of argon and of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

A

Argon: 0.9%
CO2: 0.04%

36
Q

In the experiment to find the composition of oxygen in the air using copper, give one reason why the actual value is less than the theoretical value

A

The gas may not have been left to cool
which can alter the results as gases expand when they are hot

37
Q

Why can sodium oxide not conduct electricity

A

An ionic compound so has a fixed lattice structure
Therefore ions can not move

38
Q

What colour does sodium turn in the flame test

A

Turns yellow

39
Q

Write the word equation for the reaction between methane and bromine gas

A

CH4 + BR2 ——) CH3Br + HBr

40
Q

What is the name of the reaction between methane and bromine gas under ultraviolet light

A

Substitute

41
Q

What colour do alkenes turn in bromine water

A

Colourless

42
Q

Give an example of the name of the type of reaction, just for alkenes

A

Addition reaction

43
Q

Explain why cotton wool is placed over there reaction between calcium carbonate chips and hydrochloric acid when doing rate of reaction experiments

A

To stop the acid from splashing out, and so that carbon dioxide gas can escape so that it doesn’t build up and create pressure

44
Q

Explain why putting a cotton wool over a test tube with calcium carbonate chips and hydrochloric acid improves the accuracy of the results when testing for the rate of reaction

A

Because it ensures that only the carbon dioxide gas leaves, so that the decrease in mass will only be because of that

45
Q

Graphite and C60 fullerene contain covalent bonds, but have different structures.
Explain why C60 fullerene has a much lower melting point than graphite. Refer to structure and bonding in your answer

A

Graphite is a giant covalent substance
So inroder to melt it, covalent bonds must be broken
But c60 fullerene is a simple molecular substance,
So in order to melt it,intermolecular forces of attraction must be broken

So more heat energy is required to break covalent bonds, than intermolecular forces of attraction, which is why fullerene has a lower boiling point

46
Q

Instead of using a delivery tube, suggest one piece of apparatus that can be used to collect a higher yield of water, and explain how

A

A condenser
Because then less steam will be lost

47
Q

Give the word equation of hydration

A

Ethene + steam —-) ethanol

48
Q

Give the word equation of hydrogenation:

A

(For alkenes)
Alkene + hydrogen —-) Alkane

Q

Addition polymerisation
requires an additive - what’s
its name and role?

Q

Apart from perfumes, give one other use of esters in the chemical industry

A
