(iii) Draw an additional experimental setup, which will allow the student to determine
the reactivity order of magnesium, zinc and metalX. Labelyour diagram clearly_.-_ f-
ttla?
(iv) Describe what you would expect to observe (if any) from your experirnental ;{rlr '/
set-up in (iii) and deduce the order of reactivity of the three metals starting from h
the most reactive. t? ,'1
(b) Blocks of zinc metal are often attached to oil tankers to prevent its steel from :
corroding. However, steel bodies of cars are coated with paint to prevent the iron from !'
rusting easily. 3
(i) Explain how attaching blocks of zinc can prevent the oil tankers from corroding
eaiity. l2l
(ii) Give a reason why the steel bodies of cars are not protected using the method
3 mentioned in (i) above I1l
(iii) Explain how coating paint on steel can prevent the rusting of iron easily. t1l

(a) Natural gas and petroleum are the main sources of fuel. When these sources are
burnt, thl reaction releases a lot of energy which is then used in driving motor
vehicles or flying aircraft. However, petroleum is a mixture of hydrocarbons and must
first be separated into fractions before it can be useful.

(i) Name the main component found in natural gas. Ill

(ii) Naphtha is one of the fractions obtained from petroleum. Give a reason why
naphtha is so useful. [1]
(iii) Explain why there is a need to conserve petroleum and state one way in whic_h
you can tretp to save petroleum. t2I

J (b) Fractions obtained from petroleum undergo cracking. Cracking is an important

industrial chemical Process.
Decane, CroHzz, can be cracked to produce 2-butene and another hydrocarbon X.
The structure of 2-butene is shown below'
