Part A Lightning conductors If lightning strikes a building, the electricity can damage the building. Many tall buildings have lightning conductors to prevent this damage. These are usually made of copper. After some time the copper becomes coated in a green substance.

17.

Copper is used because it A B C D conducts electricity but does not rust conducts electricity and has a low density does not conduct electricity and does not rust does not conduct electricity and has a low density

18.

The green substance is a copper compound. If it is dissolved in dilute sulphuric acid, a solution of copper sulphate forms. Adding sodium hydroxide solution to this solution produces a precipitate. The colour of the precipitate is A B C D red white green blue

copper sulphate + sodium hydroxide copper hydroxide + sodium sulphate

19.

The formula of sodium hydroxide is A B C D SoOH SOH NaOH N(OH)2

Part A 20. Copper oxide can be changed into copper by heating it in a stream of hydrogen. The reaction is copper oxide + hydrogen copper + water During this reaction the copper oxide is A B C D hydrated dehydrated oxidised reduced Extraction of metals Iron is obtained from a rock containing haematite. Haematite is iron(III) oxide. Iron is obtained when haematite is heated with carbon in air. 21. Rocks from which metals are extracted are A B C D 22. pure compounds ores always metal oxides magnetics

Zinc is extracted from a mineral called calamine. The main zinc compound in calamite is zinc carbonate, ZnCO3. When heated this breaks down to form zinc oxide and carbon dioxide. This reaction is A B C D dehydration thermal decomposition neutralisation hydration

zinc carbonate zinc oxide + carbon dioxide

23.

Iron is extracted from iron oxide by heating with carbon but extraction of aluminium needs electrolysis. Silver can be found uncombined in the Earths crust. What is the order of reactivity of the metals iron, aluminium and silver? most reactive silver iron aluminium aluminium least reactive aluminium silver silver iron

A B C D

iron aluminium iron silver

Part A Ammonia Ammonia is soluble in water and less dense than air. Ammonia is used to make the fertiliser ammonium nitrate. 24. Ammonia turns A B C D 25. moist red litmus paper blue limewater milky moist blue litmus paper red moist blue litmus paper white

Which diagram shows how ammonia gas can be collected?

26.

Ammonium nitrate is made by adding ammonia to nitric acid. The correct equation for this reaction is A B C D 2NH3 + HNO3 (NH4)2NO3 NH3 + HNO3 NH4NO3 NH3 + 2HNO3 NH4(NO3)2 NH3 + H2NO3 NH4NO3

27.

Ammonia is also used to make A B C D vinegar soap detergent cleaning fluids

Part A 28. This hazard symbol is found on bags of ammonium nitrate.

This shows that ammonium nitrate A B C D is flammable is explosive helps other substances to burn puts out fires

Part A Salts Use the following information to answer questions 29 and 30. Barium sulphate is an insoluble salt. 29. The best method of preparing this salt would be to A B C D 30. add excess barium oxide to dilute sulphuric acid add excess barium metal to dilute sulphuric acid mix solutions of barium chloride and sodium sulphate add barium carbonate to excess dilute sulphuric acid

A pure dry sample of the insoluble barium sulphate could be obtained from the reaction mixture by A B C D filtering and drying evaporating to dryness filtering, washing and drying crystallising

31.

A salt containing phosphorus atoms has the formula Zn3(PO4)2. The correct name for this salt is A B C D zinc phosphide zinc phosphioxide zinc oxyphosphide zinc phosphate

32.

Which row of the table shows reagents that could be added to dilute hydrochloric acid to form zinc chloride?

Part A 33. Potassium nitrate can be prepared by reacting dilute nitric acid with potassium carbonate. Which row of the table correctly describes potassium nitrate and the type of reaction?

34.

Magnesium reacts with dilute sulphuric acid to form the salt magnesium sulphate. The equation for this reaction is A B C D 2Mg + H2SO4 Mg2SO4 + H2 Mg + H2SO4 MgSO4 + H2 Mg + 2H2SO4 Mg(SO4)2 + 2H2 Mg + H2SO4 MgSO4 + 2H Lead oxide

Use the following information to answer questions 35 and 36. Lead oxide can be changed into lead by passing hydrogen over heated lead oxide. The equation for the reaction is PbO + H2 Pb + H2O 35. During this reaction the lead oxide is A B C D 36. hydrated dehydrated oxidised reduced

During this reaction the hydrogen is A B C D hydrated dehydrated oxidised reduced
