QUESTION 1

1.1 B √√
1.2 D √√
1.3 C √√
1.4 C √√
1.5 B √√
1.6 D √√
1.7 A √√ [14]

QUESTION 2

2.1 The minimum energy needed for a reaction to take place. √√ (2)

2.2 Endothermic √
Energy of products is higher than that of the reactants or
Energy of the reactants is lower than that of the products √ (2)

2.3.1 1250 – P = 800 √

P = 450 (kJ) √ (2)

2.3.2 800 – 490 = 310 √

∴ Y = 1250 – 310
∴ Y = 940(kJ) √ (2)

2.3.3 Q = 1250 – 520

= 730 √

∆H =∆𝐻 -∆𝐻
= 730 – 450
= 280 kJ √

QUESTION 3

3.1 The pressure of an enclosed (mass of) gas is inversely proportional

to the volume it occupies at constant temperature. √√ (2)

3.2.1 Pressure √ (1)

3.2.2 Volume √ (1)
3.2.3 Temperature √
(Enclosed) mass of gas √ (2)

3.3 = 5,0

V = 0,2 𝑑𝑚

𝑃𝑉 =𝑃𝑉 √
(100)(0,2) √ = (150) 𝑉 √
∴ 𝑉 = 0,13333 𝑑𝑚

∴x=

= 750 𝑑𝑚 √ (4)

3.4 P√
 Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy √
 pV is a measure of the energy contained and the
gradient = pV √
 The gradient for graph P is smaller, which indicates that the
(4)
temperature is lower. √

5.4 In order to calculate the concentration of the final mixture we need to

know the total number of moles of Al3+ ions present in the mixture.
So, in Al2 (SO4)3 : n = cV
= (0,2)(0,1) √
= 0,02 mol
In AlCl3 : n = cV
= (0,1)(0,1) √
= 0,01 mol
So, the total number of moles of Al3+ ions in the mixture :
𝑛 = 0, 02 + 0, 01 √
= 0, 03 mol

QUESTION 7

7.1 Oxygen √
n ( NH3) = n (O2) =

= √ = √

= 29,4118 mol = 15,625 mol

Suppose all n(NH3) is used up :
n (O2) : n ( NH3) = 5 : 4

n (O2) = n ( NH3)

= (29,4118 ) √

= 36, 76475 mol √

36, 76475 mol > 15,625 mol available √
Oxygen is the limiting reagent
OR
Suppose all n (O2) is used up :
n ( NH3) : n (O2) = 4 :5

n ( NH3) = n (O2)

= (15,625)

= 12,5 mol
12,5 mol < 29,4118 mol available
Ammonia is in excess
Hence Oxygen is the limiting reagent
7.2 12,50 mol NH3 will produce 12,50 mol NO √
m (NO) = nM
= (12,50)(30) √
= 375 g
% yield = x 100 √

= 56% √
