QUESTION 7 (Start on a new page.)

The second step in an important industrial process sees sulphur dioxide react with
oxygen in the presence of a catalyst, vanadium(V) oxide, to form sulphur trioxide
according to the following chemical equation:

                   2 SO2 (g) + O2 (g) ⇌ 2 SO3 (g) ∆H = -193 kJ

7.1    Write down the balanced chemical equation for the reaction which takes place
       in the first step of this process.                                                     (2)

7.2    The temperature of the reaction vessel is increased.

       7.2.1   Will the forward or reverse reaction be favoured?                              (2)

       7.2.2   Use Le Chatelier’s principle to explain your answer in
               QUESTION 7.2.1.                                                                (2)

7.3    Some changes, listed below, are brought about to the equilibrium system. Use
       only the words INCREASES, DECREASES or STAYS THE SAME as your
       answer to indicate the effect of the change on the amount of SO2 at equilibrium.

       7.3.1   The pressure on the mixture was increased by decreasing the volume.            (1)

       7.3.2   Additional O2 was injected into the container at constant volume.              (1)

       7.3.3   More vanadium(V) oxide was added.                                              (1)

7.4    Assume 0,3 mol of SO2 gas and 0,15 mol of O2 gas are sealed in a rigid
       container with a volume of 2 dm3. The reaction takes place at a certain
       temperature and at equilibrium it is found that 0,10 mol of SO2 is still present in
       the container. Calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction at this
       temperature.                                                                           (8)
                                                                                             [17]

QUESTION 8 (Start on a new page.)

8.1     A galvanic (voltaic) cell containing an unknown metal electrode X is
        represented in the diagram below. The initial reading on the voltmeter is
        0,93 V. Assume the cell operates under standard conditions.

        8.1.1      State the TWO standard conditions under which this cell operates.          (2)

        8.1.2      Identify metal X by calculating the standard reduction potential of
                   the unknown metal.                                                         (5)

        8.1.3      Give the cell notation for this cell.                                      (3)

        8.1.4      Identify the oxidising agent in this cell.                                 (1)

        8.1.5      Write the half-reaction that occurs at the anode.                          (2)

        8.1.6      In which direction, from half-cell X to the Pb half-cell or from the Pb
                   half-cell to half-cell X, do cations move within the salt bridge to
                   maintain electrical neutrality? Explain how you arrived at your
                   answer.                                                                    (4)

8.2     Electrolysis is an important industrial process and is used to extract
        aluminium from its mineral ore, bauxite, by means of the Hall-Heroult process.
        After iron, aluminium is the second most widely used metal. The main cost to
        produce aluminium is in the electrical energy consumed. An aluminium
        smelter uses huge amounts of electricity.

        8.2.1      What type of energy conversion takes place during the production
                   of aluminium?                                                              (2)

        8.2.2      Name TWO advantages that the use of aluminium has over that of
                   iron.                                                                      (2)

        8.2.3      Environmentalists argue that the production of aluminium is a huge
                   contributor to the greenhouse effect and global warming. In what
                   way does the production of aluminium contribute to the greenhouse
                   effect and/or global warming?                                              (2)
                                                                                             [23]

              exchange membrane.                                                      (1)

9.2   Ammonium nitrate and ammonium sulphate are two important nitrogen
      containing inorganic fertilisers. Both ammonium salts are prepared from
      PRODUCT A, which is a product of the Haber process. Ammonium sulphate is
      formed when PRODUCT A reacts with PRODUCT B, which is a product of the
      contact process. Ammonium nitrate is prepared from PRODUCT A and
      PRODUCT C, which is a product of the Ostwald process.

      9.2.1   Identify PRODUCT A.                                                     (1)

              ammonium sulphate OR ammonium nitrate is formed.                        (3)

      9.2.4   Give ONE reason why nitrogen is such an important primary nutrient
              for plants.                                                             (2)

9.3    Zinc-carbon and alkaline batteries (cells) are relatively inexpensive (cheap), but
       useful batteries. They are basically the same except that the electrolyte in the
       zinc-carbon battery is ammonium chloride whereas in the alkaline battery it is
       potassium hydroxide. The overall chemical equation for the reaction in ONE of
       these two cells is:
