Structure questions

1. a) x = 2, y = 7
b) i. Ionic bond
ii. Atom P releases two electrons to atom Q. This is to achieve a stable octet
electron arrangement.
c) It has have high melting and boiling points / it dissolves in polar solvent / exists
as solids at room temperature/ it can conduct electricity in an aqueous solution/
molten state

2. a) i. The point in a titration in which no more hydrochloric acid, HCl solution should
be added to the sodium hydroxide, NaOH solution.

ii. Pale pink

iii. Number of moles of sodium hydroxide, NaOH
= y mol dm-3 x 0.050 dm3
= 0.050y mol
Number of moles of hydrochloric acid, HCl
= 0.20 mol dm-3 x 0.026 dm3
= 0.0052 mol

HCl + NaOH

NaCl + H2O

1 mol 1 mol
Number of moles of NaOH = 1 = 0.050 y y= 0.104
Number of moles of HCl

0.0052

The molarity of sodium hydroxide, NaOH solution = 0.104 mol dm-3

b) 1. Weigh 2.7 g of NaOH using weighing balance.

2. Completely dissolve the solution in distilled water and then transfer it to a
volumetric flask partially filled with distilled water.
3. Add the distilled water to the calibration mark of the 25.0 ml of volumetric
flask.
4. Invert the flask and shake it to make sure thorough mixing.

3. a) Cu2+, SO42-, H+, OHb) i. Oxygen gas

ii. 4OH- -> 2H2O + O2 + 4ec) i. Copper (ii) ions
ii. Cu

Cu2+ + 2e-

d) Position of ions in the electrochemical series / concentration of ions in the

solution / nature of the electode

4. a) A tube contain an electrolyte (typically in the form of a gel), provide an

electrical contact between two solutions/ maintains electrical neutrality within
the internal circuit/ preventing the cell rapidly running its reaction to
equilibrium
b) Positive terminal is at copper plate
Negative terminal is at silver electrode

c) Silver electrode
d) Cu(s) + 2Ag+(aq)

Cu2+(aq) + 2Ag(s)

e) the voltmeter reading will be zero/ solution in one half cell would accumulate
negative charge and the solution in other half cell would accumulate positive charge
as the reaction proceeded,quickly prevent from further reaction, and production of
electricity from occur
