5. Fuel cells can be used to power cars in future. The reaction is represented by the equation below.
Sel bahan api boleh digunakan untuk membekalkan tenaga kepada kereta pada masa hadapan.
Tindak balasnya diwakili oleh persamaan di bawah.
(a). (i). Draw the energy profile diagram for the reaction.
Lukis rajah profil tenaga bagi tindak balas tersebut.
Answer:

Progress of Reaction
(ii). Explain why this reaction is exothermic in terms of bond breaking and bond forming.
Terangkan mengapa tindak balas itu adalah eksotermik dari segi penguraian dan pembentukan
ikatan.
Answer: Bond breaking is endothermic as it requires energy, whereas bond forming is exothermic
as it releases energy. In this case, this is an exothermic reaction since the energy released for new
bonds to form is greater than the energy required to break the existing bonds.
(iii). This reaction contains a catalyst. Choose from the following list, the metal that is most likely to
act as the catalyst. Give one reason for your choice.
Tindak balas ini mengandungi mangkin. Daripada senarai logam di bawah, pilih logam yang paling
berkemungkinan bertindak sebagai mangkin. Berikan satu sebab bagi pilihan anda.
(b). An excess of magnesium was added to 25cm3 of 1.0mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid. Diagram 5.1
shows the apparatus set-up of the experiment.
Magnesium yang berlebihan ditambah kepada 25cm3 asid hidroklorik 1.0mol dm-3. Rajah 5.1
menunjukkan susunan radas eksperimen tersebut.
(i). Calculate the maximum volume of hydrogen gas which could be produced in the reaction at
room temperature. [1 mol of gas occupies the volume of 24dm3 at room temperature and pressure]
Hitung isi padu maksimum gas hidrogen yang boleh dihasilkan dalam tindak balas pada suhu bilik.
[1 mol gas mengisi ruang 24dm3 pada suhu bilik]
Answer:
Chemical Equation: Mg (s) + 2HCl (aq) MgCl2 (aq) + H2 (g)
Moles of HCl = Conc. of HCl × Vol. of HCl = 1.0 mol dm-3 × 0.025dm3 = 0.025 moles
Moles of H2 = 0.025 moles ÷ 2 = 0.0125 moles (due to mole ratio of 2:1 based on HCl and H2)
Max. Vol of H2 = 0.0125 moles × 24dm3/mol = 0.3dm3 (× 1000) = 300cm3
(ii). The graph in Diagram 5.2 shows the change in volume of hydrogen collected during the
reaction.
Graf dalam Rajah 5.2 menunjukkan perubahan isi padu gas hidrogen yang terkumpul dalam tindak
balas tersebut.
(b).
(ii). Draw the structural formula formed and name the ester.
Lukis formula struktur yang terbentuk dan namakan ester itu.
Answer: The ester is known as propyl methanoate (HCOOC3H7).
(c). Methanoic acid is a weak acid. It reacts with zinc, giving out a gas and forming a zinc salt.
Asid metanoik adalah asid lemah. Asid metanoik bertindak balas dengan zink dan menghasilkan suatu
gas dan garam zink.
(i). What is meant by a weak acid?
Apakah yang dimaksudkan dengan asid lemah?
Answer: Weak acid is the type of acid which partially dissociates ions in an aqueous solution.
