4(a) A sample of potable water contains impurities. Why is this sample of water potable even
though it contains impurities? Put a cross (x) in a box to indicate your answer.
[1]

A. the impurities have no smell

B. the impurities are colourless
C. the impurities are harmless
D. the impurities are soluble

(b) Waste water can be used to produce drinking water.

The processes used include sedimentation, filtration and chlorination.

(i) What is sedimentation? Put a cross (x) in a box to indicate your answer.
[1]

A. the waste water is heated so the impurities evaporate

E. the waste water has an acid added to remove impurities

F. the impurities in the waste water settle to the bottom of their

container

G. the impurities in the waste water are bleached

 (ii) State why the waste water is filtered.

..........................................................................................................................................
(c) Some salts can be added to waste water to remove impurities. In an experiment,
different masses of salt A were added to 1000 cm 3 samples of waste water.
The experiment was repeated with salt B.
The percentages of impurities removed from the waste water are shown in Figure
4.

It was concluded that the best way to purify 1000 cm 3 of the waste water is to add 100
mg of salt B.
Use the information about salt A and salt B in Figure 4 to evaluate this conclusion.

5(a) The diagram shows the electronic structure of an element in the Periodic Table.

Draw the diagram which shows the electronic structure of the element which lies directly
below it.
[1]

(b) Complete the following table that shows information about atoms of some
elements. [3]

(c) The scientist John Dalton lived over 200 years ago. John Dalton suggested an
early model of atoms. After that plum pudding model, and modern atomic model
were discovered.
Compare and contrast all the three atomic models.

d) In 1864, atoms were thought to be particles that could not be divided up into smaller
particles.
By 1898, the electron had been discovered and the plum pudding model of an atom was
proposed.
Figure 2 shows the plum pudding model of an atom of carbon and the nuclear model of
an atom of carbon.

Describe one similarity and two differences between the Plum Pudding model and the Nuclear
model of atomic structure
