QUESTION 6 (Start on a new page.)

Steam, H2O(g), reacts with hot carbon, C(s), at 1 000 °C according to the following
balanced equation:

                                 2H2O(g) + C(s) ֖ 2H2(g) + CO2(g)

Initially, 36 g of steam and a certain amount of carbon were placed in a 2 dm3 sealed
container and allowed to react. At equilibrium it was found that the amount of carbon
changed by 0,225 mol.

6.1       Define the term dynamic equilibrium.                                                       (2)

6.2       Calculate the equilibrium constant, Kc, for the reaction at 1 000 °C.                      (8)

6.3       The graph shows how the rates of the forward and reverse reactions change
          with time.

                                                                        Forward reaction

                          between t0 and t1.                                                         (1)

          6.3.2           What change was made to the equilibrium mixture at t3?                     (1)

          At time t2, the temperature of the system is increased.

          6.3.3           Is the forward reaction EXOTHERMIC or ENDOTHERMIC?                         (1)

7.1       Define a base according to the Arrhenius theory.                                            (2)

7.2       Calculate the number of moles of hydroxide ions ( OH ) in beaker B.                        (2)

7.3       The contents of beakers A and B are added together in beaker C. The
          solution in beaker C has a pH of 13.

          solutions is 25 °C.

          7.3.1        Calculate the concentration, X, of the Ba(OH)2 in beaker A.                    (8)

          The solution in beaker C is titrated with ethanoic acid. It was found that
          15 cm3 of the solution neutralises 30 cm3 of the acid.

          The balanced equation for the reaction is:

                       CH3COOH(aq) + OH (aq) → CH3 COO  (aq) + H2O(ℓ)
