1.5     When zinc (II) carbonate reacts with excess hydrochloric acid, carbon dioxide
        is produced.

        The graphs below were obtained under two different reaction conditions.

                                                       Time (s)

        The change in the graph from S to R could be brought about by …

        A    decreasing the concentration of the acid.

        B    increasing the mass of the zinc (II) carbonate.

        C    decreasing the particle size of the zinc (II) carbonate.

        D    adding a catalyst.                                                              (2)

QUESTION 9 (Start on a new page.)

In the electrolytic cell represented below, two CARBON RODS, P and Q, are used as
electrodes and concentrated copper (II) chloride solution is used as electrolyte.

                                P                           Q

                                                         CuCℓ2(aq)

9.1      Define the term electrolysis.                                                            (2)

9.2      What observation can be made at electrode P while the cell is operating?                 (1)

9.3      Write down the half-reaction that takes place at electrode Q.                            (2)

9.4      Write down the NAME or FORMULA of the reducing agent in this reaction.                   (1)

9.5      What is the function of CuCℓ2(aq) as electrolyte in this cell?                           (1)

This cell is now used for the refining of copper.

9.6      Which electrode (P or Q) will have to be replaced with pure copper during the
         refining process?

         Give a reason for the answer.                                                            (2)

9.7      Explain why the concentration of the ions in the solution remains constant.              (1)

9.8      Silver and platinum are formed at the bottom of the container during the refining
         process of impure copper.

         Refer to the relative strength of the reducing agents to explain why these two
         metals do not form ions.                                                                 (3)

                                                                                 TOTAL:           150
