ammonium chloride dissolves. Filter the resulting mixture to obtain ammonium chloride solution as the filtrate and a mixture of carbon powder and manganese(IV) oxide as the residue.Place the ammonium chloride solution in an evaporating basin and gently heat to evaporate some of the water and concentrate the solution.

particles increases

e) The pressure will increase because the particles will hit the walls of the container more frequently and with greater force

12. Water seeps through the porous clay from the inside to the outside of the pot. The water on the outside of the pot evaporates. Heat energy needed for evaporation. The evaporating water cools the pot which, in turn, cools the remaining water.

13. a) When steam comes into contact with skin it will be cooled and condense. When steam changes state to become water heat is given out. This heat will cause additional damage to skin.

b) The boiling point of a liquid varies with external pressure. The boiling point of water is only exactly 100°C when atmospheric pressure is exactly one atmosphere.

c) Gas particles are in constant random motion. Pressure in the tube is the result of gas particles colliding with the inner surface. When gas is heated the particles move more rapidly. The pressure in the tube increases as gas particles hit the surface of the tube more often and with more force. The tube will eventually break.

d) Wet clothing dries because water evaporates from it. Spreading washing out on a clothes line provides a much greater surface area than leaving wet clothes in a pile therefore evaporation will take place more quickly.

e) Energy is needed to change a solid into a liquid at its melting point. This is called the latent heat of fusion or melting. While the heat energy supplied is used to bring about this change of state there will be no increase in the temperature of the solid.

f) Particles diffuse as a result of colliding with other particles. The particles in a gas move much more quickly than those in a liquid. Particles of a substance will collide more often and with more energy when in a gas and therefore they will diffuse more quickly.

14. a) i) C or D because A and B would both boil before the melting point of salicylic acid ii) The observer needs to be able to see through it b) i) Salicylic acid melts above the range of thermometer A ii) Thermometer C will give a more accurate reading as there will be more distance

c) Potassium exists as an ionic lattice in which each ion is surrounded by a number of oppositely charged ions. In order to melt potassium bromide a large amount of energy is needed to overcome the strong forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions.

Tetrachloromethane exists as a simple covalent compound. The forces of attraction between molecules are weak and therefore much less energy is needed to overcome them.

8. D9. a10. a) Reaction 1 is a redox reaction because zinc changes oxidation state from 0 to +2 while

hydrogen changes oxidation state from +1 to 0. Reaction 2 is not a redox reaction since zinc has an oxidation state of +2 in both ZnO and ZnCl2, and hydrogen has an oxidation state of +1 in both HCl and H2O.

b) Oxidation: Zn(s) Zn2+(aq) + 2ē Reduction: 2H+(aq) + 2ē H2(g)11. a) Y b) X c) X d) Z e) Y12. a) Time less, volume of hydrogen the same – more acid particles so more effective

collisions per unit time. Rate increases. b) Time less, volume of hydrogen the same – total surface area of iron greater so more

effective collisions per unit time. Rate increases. c) Time more, volume of hydrogen the same – total surface area of iron less so less

effective collisions per unit time. Rate decreases. d) Time less, volume of hydrogen the same – more acid particles per unit volume so more

effective collisions per unit time. Rate increases. e) Time more, volume of hydrogen the same – particles moving more slowly so less

effective collisions. Rate decreases13. There are a number of ways of doing this activity. Here is one possible answer: a) Balance, conical flask, bung and delivery tubing, measuring cylinder, large beaker,

stopwatch b) Constant – mass of magnesium carbonate, volume of dilute hydrochloric acid. Procedure – add dilute hydrochloric acid to magnesium carbonate in conical flask,

quickly place bung and delivery tube into the flask and bubble gas into water in a beaker.

Repeat for powder and lumps with cold and warm acid – 4 times in total. c) Measure the time taken for each reaction to go to completion i.e. when no more carbon dioxide gas is evolved. d) The reaction with the fastest rate will be the one which is the quickest to go to completion. e) Expect warm hydrochloric acid on powdered magnesium carbonate. Warm acid –

hydrogen ions moving more quickly in solution. Powder – greater surface area for collision with hydrogen ions. This combination will provide more effective collisions and thus the fastest reaction.

Volume of dry ammonia needed = 24 x 10 = 240 dm3

c) Amount of ammonium nitrate produced = 10 mol

22

Mass of 1 mol of ammonium nitrate = 4 x 1 + 2 x 14 + 3 x 16 = 80 g Mass of ammonium nitrate produced = 80 x 10 = 800 g d) Calcium hydroxide is a base and will react with the ammonium ion releasing ammonia

gas. This will create an unpleasant smell and the crop will not have the benefit of the nitrogen which is lost as ammonia.

13. a) Initially, the addition of more fertiliser to the soil increases the yield of crops but after reaching a maximum, addition of more fertiliser results in a fall in yield.

b) The concentration of ammonium nitrate in the soil becomes too high and interferes with the mechanism by which the plant roots absorb nutrients from the soil. The result is that the plants absorb less nutrients, causing a fall in yields.

c) The use of excess fertiliser results in a fall in yield so the farmer will grow less on his/her land and earn less from it.

Artificial fertilisers are expensive to buy and take time to spread on the soil. Using excess fertiliser wastes both money and time.

All nitrates are very soluble in water. Excess fertiliser will be washed out of the soil by rain and will accumulate in water courses where it may cause environmental problems, such as eutrophication, and may get into drinking water.

14. a) Nitrogen – air; hydrogen – natural gas b) In the forward reaction 4 moles of gas go to 2 moles so high pressure pushes

equilibrium to the right. c) i) Increases the rate of reaction by lowering the activation energy. ii) The iron(III) oxide is reduced by hydrogen: Fe2O3(s) + 3H2(g) 2Fe(s) + 3H2O(g) iii) No effect d) Solubility – pass the reaction mixture through water: ammonia will dissolve while the

unreacted nitrogen and hydrogen will largely pass through without dissolving. Boiling point – cool the reaction mixture to below –33°C: the ammonia will condense

and form a liquid which can be collected while the unreacted nitrogen and hydrogen will remain as gases.
