3.1 The temperature at which the vapour pressure of a substance✓ equals
atmospheric pressure. ✓ (2)
3.2 2-methylpropan-2-ol ✓ (1)
3.3 London force / momentarily dipole forces/ dispersion forces ✓ (1)
3.4.1 In both pentane and 2-methylbutane there are weak London/ dispersion forces
present. ✓ 2-methylbutane is more spherical / has a smaller surface area than
pentane✓ and therefore there are fewer/less intermolecular forces between its
molecules and the energy required to overcome the intermolecular forces in
2-methylbutane is less than the energy required to overcome the
intermolecular forces in pentane. therefore a lower boiling point
(4)
3.4.2 2-methylpropan-2-ol have stronger hydrogen bonding between molecules
while pentane has weaker London/dispersion forces between its molecules.
Therefore more energy is required to overcome the IMF in
2-methylpropan-2-ol than in pentane.
And the more energy required the higher the boiling point. (4)

6.1 It is a dynamic equilibrium when the rate of the forward reaction equals the
rate of the reverse reaction and the reactions occur simultaneously.

Equilibrium moles /28 = 0,2 9 2
0,2 9 2
Equilibrium conc (= n/V) /5 = 0,04 /5 = 1,8 /5 = 0,4
[N2] = 0,04 mol·dm-3 AND [H2] = 1,8 mol·dm-3
mass of N2 used during the reaction?
33,6 - 5,6 = 28 g
Therefore 1 mol N2 was used during the reaction. ✓
1 mol N2 react with three mole H2
Therefore 6 g H2 was used during the reaction✓
concentration N2 at equilibrium:
✓
= 0,04 mol∙dm-3✓
Amount H2 at equilibrium:

=1,8 mol∙dm-3✓ (6)
6.3 Kc = ✓
= (0,4)2/(0,04)(1,8)3 ✓
= 0,686 ✓ (3)
6.4 Increases ✓ (1)
6.5 Exothermic ✓ (1)
6.6 When the temperature increases, the Kc value decreases, which means the
concentration of the reactants increased and the concentration of the products
decreased. ✓ Therefore the reverse reaction was favoured. ✓ An increase of
temperature favours the endothermic reaction, ✓ therefore the forward
reaction must be exothermic. (3)
