QUESTION 3
3.1.1 Boiling does not involve breaking the chemical (intra molecular) bonds between
atoms.
OR Boiling involves breaking the intermolecular forces between molecules. (1)
3.1.2 Pentane has a longer chain of carbons than methane, therefore a greater
surface area. Hence more sites for London force attraction and stronger
intermolecular forces. More energy is needed to break the stronger
intermolecular forces. (3)
3.1.3
OPTION 1: OPTION 2:
2-methylbutane (or methylbutane) 2,2-dimethylpropane (or
dimethylpropane)

3.2 The pressure exerted by a vapour at equilibrium with its liquid in a closed
system. (2)
3.3.1 D (2)
3.3.2 A (2)
3.4 The carboxylic acid has the strongest intermolecular forces,
because there are two sites for hydrogen bonding in each carboxylic acid
molecule. The stronger the intermolecular forces the lower the vapour
pressure (at a given temperature). The graph indicates that D has the lowest
vapour pressure. (3)

QUESTION 6
6.1.1 Increases (1)
6.1.2 When the equilibrium in a closed system is disturbed, the system will
re-instate a new equilibrium by favouring the reaction that will oppose the
disturbance. (2)
6.1.3 Increase in temperature increases Kc
Increase in Kc indicates that the forward reaction has been favoured ,
Increase in temperature favours the endothermic reaction ,
Therefore the forward reaction is endothermic . (4)
6.1.4 Add a catalyst
Increase pressure OR decrease volume of container (2)

Marking criteria:
[A2][B]2
• Initial mol/conc correctly indicated.
• Mol/conc of AB produced = 0,4.
= (0,4)2 • Ratio applied correctly.
(x – 0,2) (1,6)2 • Equilibrium mol: initial – used
Initial + produced
= 0,5 OR
Equilibrium conc: initial – used
∴ 0,5 [((x – 0,2) (1,6)2] = (0,4)2 Initial + produced
• Equilibrium mol ÷ 1 = eq conc.
∴ 1,28x - 0,256 = 0,16 • Correct Kc expression.
• Substitution of eq conc to Kc expression.
∴ X = 0,325 mol • Final answer.
Wrong Kc expression – (Max.: 4/8)
Wrong values on the table but used
in the calculation (positive marking)

QUESTION 7
7.1.1
Option 1:
pH = - log [H3O+]
=1
∴ [H3O+] = 10-1 = 0,1
∴ [HCl] = 0,1 mol.dm-3
Option 2:
pH = - log [H3O+]
=1
∴ [HCl] = 0,1 mol.dm-3

7.2 When an acid reacts with a base to produce a salt and water. OR
Chemically equivalent quantities of acid and base are reacted. (2)
7.3
Option 1:
2NaOH + H2SO4 → Na2SO4 + 2H2O
n(NaOH) = c x V = 0,1 x 0,012 = 0,0012 mol
n(H2SO4) = ½ x n(NaOH) = 0,0006 mol
V(H2SO4) = n/C = 0,0006 / 0,05 = 0,012 dm3
V(H2SO4) that reacts with Ba(OH)2 = 54 – 12 = 42 cm3 (OR 0,054 - 0,012 = 0,042 dm3)
Ba(OH)2 + H2SO4 → BaSO4 + 2H2O
n(H2SO4) that reacts with Ba(OH)2 = c x V = 0,05 x (42 x 10-3 mol) = 0,0021 mol
n(Ba(OH)2) = 1 x 0,0021 = 0,0021 mol
[Ba(OH)2] = n/v = 0,0021 x 0,048 = 0,04375 mol∙dm-3

Ba(OH)2 + H2SO4 → BaSO4 + 2H2O
n(H2SO4) with Ba(OH)2

10.3.1 Total percentage of active fertiliser. OR Combined percentage of N, P and K.
(1)
10.3.2 OPTION 1
13 = 5 x 26
x
x = 10
thus N = 3
N:P:K = 3: 2 : 5 (4)
OPTION 2
(N + P + K) in the bag = 26/100 x 20 = 5,2 kg
K in the bag = 13/100 x 5,2 = 2,6 kg
2,6/5,2 x 100 = 50% = 5 parts
P = 2 parts = 20 %
Therefore, N = 30% = 3 parts
Unknown component = 3. (4)
