2 9701/22/O/N/11 © UCLES 2011 For Examiner’s Use Answer all the questions in the space provided. 1 Compound A is an organic compound which contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. When 0.240 g of the vapour of A is slowly passed over a large quantity of heated copper(II) oxide, CuO, the organic compound A is completely oxidised to carbon dioxide and water. Copper is the only other product of the reaction. The products are collected and it is found that 0.352 g of CO2 and 0.144 g of H2O are formed. (a) In this section, give your answers to three decimal places. (i) Calculate the mass of carbon present in 0.352 g of CO2. Use this value to calculate the amount, in moles, of carbon atoms present in 0.240 g of A. (ii) Calculate the mass of hydrogen present in 0.144 g of H2O. Use this value to calculate the amount, in moles, of hydrogen atoms present in 0.240 g of A. (iii) Use your answers to calculate the mass of oxygen present in 0.240 g of A. Use this value to calculate the amount, in moles, of oxygen atoms present in 0.240 g of A. [6]

(ii) Complete the ‘melting point’ row by using only the words ‘high’ or ‘low’. [5] When Mendeleev published his first Periodic Table, he left gaps for elements that had yet to be discovered. He also predicted some of the physical and chemical properties of these undiscovered elements. For one element, E, he correctly predicted the following properties. melting point of the element high melting point of the oxide high boiling point of the chloride low The element E was in the fourth Period and was one of the elements from gallium, proton number 31, to bromine, proton number 35.

6 9701/22/O/N/11 © UCLES 2011 For Examiner’s Use 3 For some chemical reactions, such as the thermal decomposition of potassium hydrogencarbonate, KHCO3, the enthalpy change of reaction cannot be measured directly. In such cases, the use of Hess’ Law enables the enthalpy change of reaction to be calculated from the enthalpy changes of other reactions. (a) State Hess’ Law. … … … [2] In order to determine the enthalpy change for the thermal decomposition of potassium hydrogencarbonate, two separate experiments were carried out. experiment 1 30.0 cm3 of 2.00 mol dm–3 hydrochloric acid (an excess) was placed in a conical flask and the temperature recorded as 21.0 °C. When 0.0200 mol of potassium carbonate, K2CO3, was added to the acid and the mixture stirred with a thermometer, the maximum temperature recorded was 26.2 °C. (b) (i) Construct a balanced equation for this reaction. … (ii) Calculate the quantity of heat produced in experiment 1, stating your units. Use relevant data from the Data Booklet and assume that all solutions have the same specific heat capacity as water. (iii) Use your answer to (ii) to calculate the enthalpy change per mole of K2CO3.
