QUESTION 3
3.1.1 a series of organic compounds that can be described by the same general formula
in which one member differs from the next with a CH2 group. (2)
3.1.2 the temperature at which the vapour pressure equals atmospheric/external
pressure. (2 or 0) (2)
3.2 C
As the boiling point increases the vapour pressure decreases.
C has the highest boiling point. (3)
3.3 B (1)
3.4.1 118,50 ºC (1)
3.4.2In addition to London forces and dipole-dipole forces, C has two sites for hydrogen
bonding between the molecules resulting in the strongest intermolecular forces occurring
between molecules of C.
The intermolecular forces between molecules of C require the most amount of energy
to overcome.
C will therefore have the highest boiling point. (4)

5.2.1 Collision theory (1)
5.2.2The shaded areas in the distribution curves represent the number of molecules with
sufficient kinetic energy to overcome the activation energy . An increase in the
temperature of the system results in a greater number of particles with sufficient kinetic
energy to overcome the activation energy of the reaction . This results in more effective
collisions per unit time OR a higher chance of an effective collision occurring, resulting in
a higher reaction rate. (3)

QUESTION 7
7.1 It dissociates/ionises completely in water to form a high concentration of OH- ions. (1)
7.2 It contains a small amount (number of moles) of base in proportion to the volume
of water (2)
7.3
Formula pH = - log [H3O+] / pOH = - log [OH-]
Substitute 13,45 for pH/0,55 for pOH
c(OH-) = 0,282 mol.dm-3
Using ratio of 1: 2 to calculate c((Ba(OH)2)
Formula m = cVM
Substituting into the above formula
Answer
Option 1: Option 2:
pH = - log [H3O+]
pOH = - log [OH-]
+
13,45 = - log [H3O ]
0,55 = - log [OH-]
[H3O ] +
= 3,54 x 10-14 mol.dm-3
[ OH-] = 0,282 mol.dm-3
[H3O+][OH-] = 1 x 10-14
c((Ba(OH)2) = 0,141 mol.dm-3
- -3
c(OH ) = 0,282 mol.dm m = cVM
c((Ba(OH)2) = 0,141 mol.dm-3 = (0,141)(0,25)(171)
m = cVM = 6,03 g
= (0,141)(0,25)(171)
= 6,03 g
(7)
7.4 Positive marking from question 7.3: concentration of Ba(OH)2
Marking guidelines
n c Va n a
Formulae: c /n = cV/ a
V c b Vb nb
Substitution of: 0,141 x 60 /0,141 x 0,06
Use mol ratio: na : nb = 2 : 1
Final answer: 33,84 cm3 / 0,03384 dm3
Option 1: Option 2:
n(HCℓ) = 2n((Ba(OH)2)
cA VA nA
= 2cV
cB VB = nB
= 2(0,141)(0,06)
0,5 VA 2
= 0.01692 mols
0,141 0,06 = 1
c(HCℓ) = n/V
VA = 0,03384 dm3
0,5 = 0,01692/V 3
Accept VB = 60 cm
V = 0,03384 dm3/33,84cm3 VA = 33,84 cm3
