SECTION B (10 marks each) Answer TWO essay questions only B1 (a) Although sodium chloride and butane have approximately the same relative molecular mass, the boiling point of sodium chloride is more than 1000oC higher than that of butane. With the aid of suitable diagrams, explain why the boiling point of sodium chloride is much higher than that of butane. B1(b) Uranium is between magnesium and zinc in the reactivity series. Equal sized strips of magnesium, uranium and zinc were placed in hydrochloric acid. The hydrochloric acid was of the same concentration. The results are shown in the table. [5]

(i) Describe the observation of uranium with hydrochloric acid. (ii) Uranium has several isotopes which are radioactive. One of its isotopes is uranium235. The other is Uranium 237. What do you understand by the term isotopes? How do these two isotopes differ?
