2.2 The stronger the intermolecular forces, the lower the vapour pressure.
correct variables correct relationship
When IMFs are stronger, it requires more energy to break the IMFs to allow
molecules to evaporate, thus fewer molecules evaporate. (3)
2.3 (as you go down the table), chain length/molecular size increases,
thus strength of Van der Waals IMFs increases thus vapour pressure decreases (2)
2.4.1 1-butanol has an –OH group which forms stronger Hydrogen bonding IMFs
than the Van der Waals IMFs in pentane (2)
2.4.2 Secondary alcohols are more spheric in shape / have a smaller surface area
for bonding / molecules cannot get as close to each other as the more linear
primary alcohols, thus IMFs are weaker, thus easier to evaporate. (2)
2.5 Ethanoic acid (no positive marking → ) (1)
2.6 Ethanoic acid has a lower vapour pressure than 1-propanol thus stronger IMFs
thus more energy will be required to break IMFs. (3)[18]

QUESTION 4
4.1 the change in concentration of reactants or products per unit time. (1)
4.2.1 concentration (1)
4.2.2 reaction rate (except time) (1)
4.3.1 5. Repeat the experiment but add 2 ml of HCl and 3ml of distilled water
6. Repeat the experiment but add 1 ml of HCl and 4ml of distilled water
HCl volume is changed
the conc of HCl is changed (water added to keep volume the same)
the steps indicate a decrease in conc of HCl. (3)
4.3.2 volume of sodium thiosulphate needs to be kept constant / temp constant /
judgement of when cross disappears needs to be constant (same learner) /
swirling needs to be the same / stopwatch needs to be started at same time
in process (any one of the above is correct) (1)

QUESTION 5
5.1 The rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction (2)
5.2 Closed (1)
5.3.1 turns more orange (1)
5.3.2 increases the H+ concentration which favours the forward reaction (2)
5.4 Kc = Cr2O72-
[CrO42-]2 [H+]2 (2)
5.5 No (1)
5.6 Yellow (1)
+
5.7 The presence of hydroxide will decrease the conc of H as they react to form
water (or increase amount of H2O); according to Le Chatelier’s Principle, this
will cause the rxn that increases the conc of H+ to be favoured , thus reverse rxn /
equilibrium shifts to the left. (3)[13]
QUESTION 6
6.1 Endothermic formulas – if used (1)
m 35,9 n 0,62
6.2 nNaCl = = = 0,62mol _(0,6138mol ) c= = = 6,2mol ⋅ dm −3
M 58,5 V 0,1
+ −
SUBSTITUTION
K c = [Na ][Cl ] = (6,2)(6,2) = 38,44 (37,66 if no rounding) (6)
6.3 Increase temp. An increase in temp will favour the endothermic rxn which is the
forward rxn;this will increase the concentration of products, thus KC. (4)
6.4 Less soluble. (1)[12]
QUESTION 7
7.1 NaOH → Na+(aq) + OH-(aq) [OH-] = 0,11 (or: conc OH- = conc NaOH)
Kw = 1x10-14 = [H3O+][OH-] 1x10-14 = [H3O+](0,11) [H3O+] = 9,09x10-14 ( +→)
pH = -log[H3O+] = - log (9,09x10-14) (substitution) = 13,04
(Except calculation of pOH and subtracting from 14). (5)
7.2 nNaOH = c x V = 0,11 x 0,0285 = 0,0031 mol (0,003135 if no rounding off) (2)
7.3 nacid : nbase = 1:1 nacid = 0,0031 macid in 25cm3 = nxM = 0,0031 x 60 = 0,186g
(+→) macid in 100 cm3 = 0,186 x 4 = 0,744g
0,744
% ethanoic acid = × 100 = 9,9% (9,9 – 10 depending on rounding off). (5)[12]

QUESTION 8
8.1 Contact (1)
8.2 H2S2O7 / oleum/pyrosulphuric acid / disulphuric acid / fuming sulphuric acid (1)
8.3 V2O5 / Venadium pentoxide (1)
8.4 An acid that ionises completely. (1)
8.5 H2SO4 + 2 H20 → SO42- (aq) + 2 H3O+ (aq) (LHS RHS bal) (3)
8.6 H3O+ (1)
8.7 ampholite (1)
8.8 diprotic (1)
8.9.1 oxidising agent (1)
8.9.2 Copper was oxidised to Cu-ions thus lost electrons (2)
[13]
QUESTION 9
9.1 Chemical energy to electrical energy. (1)
9.2 Temperature of 25 OC / 298 K Concentrations of 1 mol•dm-3.
NOT Pressure of 1 atm or 101,3 kPa. (2)
9.3 Mg (magnesium) (1)
9.4 Mg (s) → Mg2+ + 2e (LHS RHS bal) (3)
formulas – if used
m 0,96 2
9.5 nMg = = = 0,04mol nFe = n Mg × = 0,027
M 24 3
mFe = n × M = 0,027 × 56 = 1,51g (1,49 if no rounding off earlier) (5)
9.6 Eθcell = Eθreduction - Eθoxidation (or other equivalent eqn)
= - 0,04 - (- 2,37)
= 2,33 V. YES, bulb will light up (5)
9.7 Increase (1)
9.8 Decrease (neg →); an increase in [Mg2+] will inhibit the forward reaction /
will favour the reaction that decreases [Mg2+] and thus voltmeter reading will
decrease (2)[20]

10.1 bauxite (1)
10.2 Electrolytic (1)
10.3 Cathode (1)
10.4 Negative (1)
10.5 2 O2- → O2(g) + 2e- (2)
10.6 DC. (neg→) To produce Al (product), the reaction must not be reversed
(which is what would happen if power supply was AC). (2)[8]
QUESTION 11
11.1 Haber process (1)
11.2 Reaction rate would be too slow. (1)
11.3 NO (1)
11.4 4 NH3 + 5 O2 → 4 NO + 6 H2O (LHS RHS ) (2)
11.5 NH4NO3 (1)
11.6 Can cause “blue-baby” syndrome, stomach cancer; reproductive problems,
birth defects, endocrine, immune and nervous system malfunctions (1)

11.7 18,75 = x 30 x= 8. thus K = 1 or N:P:K = 5:2:1 (4)[11]
