oxide MgO (Mg:O=1:1). It is not A or B or D as the positive and negative ions are not alternating. Ans: C 7 A gas with stronger intermolecular forces will deviate more from ideality. NH3 is the only polar gas and it is also has hydrogen bonding between molecules. Hence it will deviate the most. A NH bond is polar and NH3 is an asymmetrical molecule. Hence NH3 is polar. It also has Hbonding. B Ethene is a planar molecule (symmetrical) and hence, it is non-polar. C CH4is a symmetrical molecule and hence, the molecule is non-polar. D NN is a linear molecule (symmetrical) and hence, it is non-polar. Ans: A 8 mol mol A Atomisation involves bond-breaking which is an endothermic process. B Combustion always involves the release of energy. C Formation can be either an endothermic or exothermic process depending on the compound. D Enthalpy change of solution involves bond breaking and hence is an exothermic process. Ans: A

ER EO must be large for reaction to be favoured. 3+ Cl2 and Br2 can oxidise Fe easily to Fe while I2 is not as strong an oxidising agent and is more likely 2+ to oxidise Fe to Fe . Ans: C 18 A transition element is a d block element which forms one or more stable ions with partially filled d orbitals. Ans: C 19 C2 is sp hybridised while C3 is sp hybridised. 3 Since the overlap between C2 and C3 is a sp sp overlap which is stronger, it leads to a shorter bond length. Ans: B 20

3 23 A and D are acyl chlorides which react readily to produce precipitates. C does not give precipitate even when heated due to the presence of the partial double bond characteristic in the C-Cl bond. The C-Cl bond in alkanes, as seen in B, can be broken easily by heat. Ans: B 24 29

Ans: C 30 Cleavage of the amide bond is a hydrolysis reaction. Ans: D Section B 31 1 Let x be the mass of the weighed sample, y be the mass of MgCO3. Hence, mass of BaCO3 is (x-y). From the back titration results, we can compute no of moles of CO2 = y/M(MgCO3) + (x-y)/M(BaCO3). Since x is known, we can substitute, to find y. From known x and y, we can compute the mole fraction. 2 Let x be the mass of the weighed sample, y be the mass of MgCO3. Hence, mass of BaCO3 is (x-y). From volume of CO2 at known temperature and pressure, we can compute no of moles of CO2 = y/M(MgCO3) + (x-y)/M(BaCO3). Since x is known, we can substitute, to find y. From known x and y, we can compute the mole fraction. 3 BaSO4(s) will be precipitated and it would be possible to work out amount of BaCO3 and hence amount of MgCO3 present. Ans: A (1, 2 and 3) 32 1 Two of the nitrogen atoms (the ones with four bonds) have dative bonds from N to Mg. 2 The two other nitrogen atoms (the ones with three bonds) are held to the magnesium atom by bond. All four bonds around Mg are bonds (dative bond is considered as bond due to head-on overlap) 3 3 sp hybridisation is not present as the molecule is planar. Ans: B (1 and 2) 33 1 Dissolving the solute in the solvent Increases the number of ways of arranging molecules in the solution which will lead to an increase in entropy (positive S). 2 Evaporation causes the solvent to change from liquid to gas. This change in state increases the disorderliness in the system (positive S). 3 The movement of solvent molecules from the pure solvent through the semi-pemeable membrane to the solution during osmosis increases the number of ways of arranging molecules in the solution which will lead to an increase in entropy (positive S).

4 34 1 From the rate equation, it can be seen that an increase in [HBr] will lead to an decrease in the rate of reaction. nd 2 The 2 reaction could be a one-step reaction as the stoichiometry coincides with the power in the rate equation while that of reaction 1 does not. 3 It cannot be determined from the rate equation. Ans: B (1 and 2) 2 35 1 It is not a concern since it has low tendency to pollute water. 2 It will emit electrons for a long time. 3 Sr is only slightly bigger than Ca and it easily substitutes the Ca in bone, preventing expulsion from the body. This creates a health concern. Ans: C (2 and 3) 36 1 CH3COO Na + AgNO3 CH3COO Na + NaNO3 Silver ethanoate which is a white precipitate is produced. 2 Br displaces CH3COO as AgBr is less soluble. 3 No oxidation occurs when ethanoate is added to bromide. Ans: B (1 and 2) 37 1 The reaction is an electrophilic substitution rather than a nucleophilic substitution. 2 OH substitutes Br and since the carbon atom in the C-Br bond is electron deficient, the reaction is a neutrophilic substitution. 3 NH3 substitutes Cl and since the carbon atom in the C-Cl bond is electron deficient, the reaction is a neutrophilic substitution.
