Q2. 20.0g of small lumps of calcium carbonate and 40 cm3 of hydrochloric acid,
concentration 2.0 mol /dm3, were placed in a flask on a top pan balance. The mass of the
flask and contents was recorded every minute.

 The mass of carbon dioxide given off was plotted against time.

CaCO3 (s) + 2HCl(aq)→CaCl 2 (aq) + H2O(l) + CO2 (g)

In all the experiments mentioned in this question, the calcium carbonate was in excess.
(i) Explain how you could determine the mass of carbon dioxide given off in the first five
minutes. [1]

(ii) Label the graph F where the reaction rate is the fastest, S where it is slowing down and 0
where the rate is zero. [2]

(iii) Explain how the shape of the graph shows where the rate is fastest, where it is slowing
down and where the rate is zero.

(c) Explain in terms of collisions between reacting particles each of the following.

(i) The reaction rate would be slower if 20.0 g of larger lumps of calcium carbonate and 40
cm3 of hydrochloric acid, concentration 2.0 mol /dm3 , were used.

(ii) The reaction rate would be faster if the experiment was carried out at a higher
temperature. [2]

 Q3. This question is about equilibrium. [16]

(a) When hydrated copper(II) sulfate solid, CuSO4 · 5H2O is heated, steam produced.

(i) This reaction is reversible. Write a balanced chemical equation. [1]

(ii) The color of solid before heated is ; after heated is [2]

(b What is meant by the term equilibrium. [2]

(c) Consider this reaction below. The forward reaction is exothermic. Complete the table. [6]

Effect of reaction rate Effect on equilibrium position

(increase, decrease or no change) (left, right or no change)
Increasing pressure
Decreasing temperature

Adding catalyst

( d) A gas syringe contains a mixture of dinitrogen tetroxide N2 O4 and nitrogen dioxide NO2 . The

mixture is now at equilibrium, it shows a pale brown color.

( i) If the plunger of syringe is pushed in, what happens to pressure? What happens to

the position of equilibrium? Thus what happens to the color of mixture? [3]

(ii) If the syringe is heated, the color becomes darker brown. Explain whether the

forward reaction exothermic or endothermic? [2]

 Q4.this question is about impurity copper by electrolysis [5]

(a) An impure copper rod contains three metals: Mg, Cu and Ag. We can use electrolysis

to refine it with a pure copper rod. (i) Write TWO half equations occur at anode. [2]

(ii) Write the half equation occur at cathode. [1]

b (iii) Why impurities (Mg and Ag) can be y electrolysis. [2]

Q5 Harbor process and contact process

Haber Process for making NH3
1. What is Raw material for Harbor process ?
_________________________________________________________________________
2. Give the balanced equation to make H 2 .
__________________________________________________________________________
3. What is the Condition for harbor process?
a. Pressure: ___________
How will the yield of NH3 change when the pressure increase and give the explanation.
____________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________
The yield of ammonia increases with an increase in pressure, as increase pressure favor the
side with less gas molecules, which can produce more ammonia. But the costs will be too high
to keep pressure high.
b. Temperature: ___________
How will the yield of NH3 change when the temperature increase and give the explanation.
____________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________
c. Catalyst:__________
How will the yield of NH3 change when the catalyst is added and give the explanation.
