(d) Read the following information.
Landfill, Incineration, Recycling and Re-use of Poly(ethene)
People could be encouraged to re-use their poly(ethene) bags and containers.
Recycling poly(ethene) saves raw materials and energy needed to make new plastic.
When polymers are recycled the plastics must be collected, transported, sorted into
different types by hand and washed. This requires the use of fossil fuels and is
expensive.
Poly(ethene) can be burnt in an incinerator with other household waste. The heat
released could be used to make steam to drive an electric generator. Surplus heat
could be used to heat greenhouses used for growing vegetables. Incineration at too
low a temperature can produce harmful substances. The residue (ash) has to go to
landfill.
Landfill is probably the easiest way to dispose of polymers and it is cheap. Polymers
are often mixed in with other household rubbish. Household waste does not get
sorted into different materials because it is disposed of in the same hole in the
ground. When the hole is eventually full, the waste is covered by a layer of soil to stop
it smelling. The waste gets compressed under its own weight. Most polymers, such as
poly(ethene), are not biodegradable so will remain in the ground forever.
You are asked to decide which option for the disposal of poly(ethene) will be put forward in
your area. You decide that recycling is the best option.
Suggest one economic argument and one environmental argument that will be made
against recycling.
For each argument made, how will you persuade those making the argument to accept your
option?
(You must use only one sentence for each argument made against your decision and only
one sentence for your response to it.)

Third rock from the Sun

Geologists now have evidence that the Earth’s crust began to form about four and a half
billion years ago. The surface of the Earth was then at temperatures well above 100 °C
and the atmosphere was mostly carbon dioxide with some ammonia, methane and water
vapour. About a quarter of a billion years after it had first formed, the crust had become
thicker and had cooled down to below 100 °C.
Slowly, over a period of about three billion years, oxygen became established in the
atmosphere. Some was released from the Earth’s interior by volcanoes and some was
produced, by the process of photosynthesis, by algae which had evolved in the seas.
(a) Explain how the first seas formed.

Q1.Ethene is used to produce poly(ethene).

(b) Polyesters are made by a different method of polymerisation.

Compare the polymerisation reaction used to produce poly(ethene) with the

(a) The polymer polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is non-biodegradable.

Give one problem caused by non-biodegradable polymers.

(b) Figure 1 shows a short section of a PVC molecule.

PVC is produced from a monomer that contains two carbon atoms.

Complete the structure of the monomer.

(c) Figure 2 represents a few short chains of PVC molecules.

Explain why PVC softens and melts when heated.

(d) Monomer A and monomer B react to form polymer C.

Name of functional group

(a) Describe how crude oil is separated into fractions.

(b) Fuel oil is one of the fractions from crude oil.

You do not need to give the name of this product.

C10H22 C5H10 + C3H8 + ........................

decane pentene propane

(ii) Pentene is used to produce poly(pentene).

Complete the equation and the displayed structure of poly(pentene).

(iii) Some polymers are described as smart polymers.

Suggest one property of a smart polymer that is different to that of an ordinary

(a) Describe how crude oil is separated into fractions.

(b) Ethene is produced by cracking the hydrocarbons in the naphtha fraction.

(i) Balance the symbol equation for this reaction.

C10H22 → C4H10 + C2H4

(ii) Describe how cracking is carried out.

Alkenes, such as ethene (C2H4), do form polymers.

Explain these statements.

Propene molecules form the polymer poly(propene).

Draw a diagram to represent part of a poly(propene) molecule.

(i) Describe how ethene forms poly(ethene).

(iii) The simplified structures of poly(ethene) and PEX are shown.

Poly(ethene) is a thermoplastic that softens easily when heated.

Copper is extracted from its ore by a series of processes.

PEX is made from crude oil by a series of processes.

This involves the cracking of hydrocarbons in the naphtha fraction.

decane → hexane + ethene

C10H22 → C6H14 + C2H4

(i) Balance the symbol equation given above.

(ii) Describe how cracking is carried out.

Complete the diagram to show the bonds in ethene.

Landfill, Incineration, Recycling and Re-use of Poly(ethene)

People could be encouraged to re-use their poly(ethene) bags and containers.

(a) What colour flame would sodium ions produce?

(b) Name a metal ion that would produce a green flame.

(c) Some fireworks contain a mixture of metal ions.

(d) Flame emission spectroscopy is used to identify metal ions in a firework.

The diagram below shows:

Tick two boxes.

The compounds in fireworks also contain non-metal ions.

A scientist tests a solution of the chemicals used in a firework.

A cream precipitate forms

Which ion is shown to be present by the cream precipitate?

The ratio by mass of A : B in the mixture is 1 : 8

(a) Calculate the mass of A needed in a mixture containing 125 g of B.

Scientists test a solution of compound A.

The table shows their results.

Add sodium hydroxide solution Blue precipitate

Add dilute hydrochloric acid and barium
