0 1 . 1 A student investigated the reaction of magnesium with oxygen.


The student calculated that 4.8 g of magnesium would make 8.0 g
of magnesium oxide.
The equation for the reaction is:
2Mg + O2 → 2MgO
What mass of oxygen is required to produce 8.0 g of magnesium
oxide from 4.8 g of magnesium?

(1 mark)

0 1 . 2 The student heated magnesium to produce magnesium oxide.


Figure 1 shows the apparatus the student used.
Figure 1

The student used the following steps.


1 Weighed 2.40 g of magnesium ribbon.
2 Heated the crucible and magnesium ribbon.
3 When heating lifted up the lid slightly to let oxygen in but
stopped magnesium oxide escaping.
4 Heated until all the magnesium formed a white powder
(magnesium oxide).
5 Weighed the white powder formed.

Table 1 shows the student’s results.

Calculate the mean mass of magnesium oxide produced.


Give your answer to two decimal places.

(3 marks)

0 1 . 3 The student produced less magnesium oxide than expected.


Suggest two reasons why.

(2 marks)

0 2 A student made two solutions – solution A and solution B.


Solution A contained 5 g of copper sulfate in 50 cm3 of water.
Solution B contains 10 g of copper sulfate in 100 cm3 of water.
The student added solution B to solution A.
The student concluded that the new solution formed is more
concentrated because it has more copper sulfate dissolved in it.
Is the student correct? Explain your answer.

0 3 Ethanol can be industrially produced by two different methods.


Reaction 1: C2H4 + H2O → C2H5OH
Reaction 2: C6H12O6 → 2CO2 + 2C2H5OH

0 4 . 2 In the titration the student used 25.0 cm3 of sodium hydroxide.


This volume reacted with exactly 20.0 cm3 of 0.1 mol/dm3
sulfuric acid solution.
The equation for the reaction is:
2NaOH + H2SO4 → Na2SO4 + 2H2O
What is the concentration in mol/dm3 of the sodium hydroxide
solution?

0 5 Methane gas, CH4, is the main component of natural gas. It


burns with a blue flame in excess oxygen, producing carbon
dioxide and water.

0 5 . 1 Balance the following equation for the burning of methane gas.

CH4 + O2  CO2 + H2O (1 mark)

0 5 . 2 Calculate the minimum volume of oxygen gas, at room temperature


and pressure (r.t.p.), required to completely burn 56g of methane gas.
Give your answer to two significant figures.
(1 mole of any gas occupies 24 dm3 at r.t.p., Ar: C = 12, H = 1)
