SECTION A (Answer ALL questions in this Section.) 1. The table below lists some information about three metals X, Y and Z . [wes |x Action of cold No apparent A colourless water change gas slowly evolves To which group in the Periodic Table does Y belong ? @) b) ©) @ ©) (i) Write an equation for the reaction between X and 0.1 M hydrochloric acid. (An ionic equation will NOT be accepted for this question.) (ii) Draw electronic structures for the TWO products formed in (i) above, showing electrons in the outermost shell ONLY. What would be observed when Y is added to 0.1 M hydrochloric acid ? Based on the results of the reactions given in the above table, arrange the three metals in descending order of reactivity. Explain your answer. When Z is heated with concentrated sulphuric acid, a colourless gas evolves and the solution tums blue. ji What gas is evolved ? Suggest a chemical test for the gas. (ii) What would be observed if a piece of metal X is added to the blue solution ? (12 marks)2.
