Number of moles CH4
2,2 Decreases to 1,6
Correct shape

1,6 horizontal
ignore labels on

Time in minutes
(4)
6.5.1 INCREASES (1)
6.5.2 REMAINS THE SAME (1)
6.6 An increase in the number of moles of CH4 increases the concentration of
CH4(reactant).
According to Le Chateliers Principle an increase in the concentration of the reactants
favours the reaction that decreases the concentration of the reactants
In this case the forward reaction is favoured

QUESTION 7
7.1.1 An acid is a substance that produces hydrogen ions(H+)/hydronium ions(H3O+)
when it dissolves in water. (2)
7.1.2 strong
it ionises completely in water (ACCEPT: dissociates) (3)
7.2.1
pH = - log [H3O+]
Formula pH = - log [H3O+]
0,65 = - log [H3O+] Substitute 0,65 for pH
[H3O+] = 0,224 mol.dm-3 c((H2SO4) = ½c(H3O+)
c((H2SO4) = 0,112 mol.dm-3
c((H2SO4) = ½c(H3O+)
= ½(0,224)
= 0,112 mol.dm-3

7.2.2 POSITIVE MARKING FROM QUESTION 7.2.1: concentration of H2SO4
Marking guidelines/Nasienriglyne:
n
Formulae: c /n = cV/
V
Calculate initial number of moles of H2SO4
Calculate number of moles of H2SO4 that reacted
Calculate number of moles of H2SO4 in excess
Calculate number of moles of NaOH that reacted
Ratio of NaOH to H2SO4
Final answer cm3 or dm3
n(H2SO4)initial = cV
= (0,25)(0,024)
= 6 x 10-3 mols
n(H2SO4)excess = cV
= (0,112)(X + 24)
1000
(0,112)(X + 24)
n(H2SO4)reacted = 6 x 10-3 -
1000
n(NaOH)reacted = cV
0,15(X)
1000
n(NaOH)reacted = 2 (n(H2SO4)reacted)
0,15(X) (0,112)(X + 24)
= 2( (6 x 10-3 - )

9.4.1 Q will break down/become eroded/surface becomes rough and eroded
ACCEPT Q will be oxidised. (2)
9.4.2 Cu/electrode Q is a stronger reducing agent than the Cℓ- ions.
Cu/Q will be oxidised/loses electrons resulting in the electrode becoming eroded
OR
The Cℓ- ion is a weaker reducing agent than Cu(Q) and will therefore not
be oxidised. (3)
