QUESTION 6 (Start on a new page.)
The following equation represents a key reaction in the preparation of sulphuric acid:

                       2SO2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2SO3(g)         ∆H < 0

The process of the reaction is controlled in such a way that the temperature inside the
container remains between 370°C and 550°C at all times.

QUESTION 10 (Start on a new page.)
The use of fertilizer in the agricultural industry is very important. Research has proven
that the yield of maize has increased many times by the application of fertilizer to the
soil.

10.1     Fertilizer contains three primary nutrients.

         10.1.1    Name the three primary nutrients.                                         (3)

         10.1.2    Which ONE of the three nutrients is neither produced nor mined in
                   South Africa?                                                             (1)

         10.1.3    One of the primary nutrients is mined in South Africa. State the
                   mineral form in which it is found.                                        (1)

         10.1.4    Name an industrial process by which the third primary nutrient (not
                   mentioned in 10.1.2 and 10.1.3) is made available as fertilizer.          (1)

10.2     The use of fertiliser has one important negative effect, called “eutrophication”.
         Define eutrophication.                                                              (2)

10.3     A farmer plans to plant maize. His research shows that he needs 18 kg of N,
         3 kg of P and 3,25 kg K in the soil to produce 1 ton of maize per hectare.
         A fertilizer company advises him to either use 100 kg of Fertilizer A that has
         an NPK ratio of 4:1:1 (36) or 2 packs of 50 kg of Fertilizer B that has an NPK
         ratio of 7:2:2 (15).
