(b) Containers for fuel rods in nuclear reactors are made of zirconium.
Nuclear reactors are used to produce energy and to make radioactive isotopes.
(i) Which isotope of a different element is used as a fuel in nuclear reactors?
.............................................................................................................................. [1]
(ii) State one medical and one industrial use of radioactive isotopes.

(iii) Above 900 C, zirconium reacts with water to form zirconium(IV) oxide, ZrO2, and
hydrogen. Write an equation for this reaction.
.............................................................................................................................. [2]
(iv) In a nuclear accident, water may come in contact with very hot zirconium.
Explain why the presence of hydrogen inside the reactor greatly increases the
danger of the accident.
.............................................................................................................................. [1]
(c) It is possible to determine whether zirconium(IV) oxide is acidic, neutral, basic or
amphoteric using an acid and an alkali. Complete the table of possible results. If the
oxide is predicted to react write R, if it is predicted not to react write NR.

The main uses of zinc are preventing steel from rusting and making alloys.
(a) The main ore of zinc is zinc blende. Zinc blende consists mainly of zinc sulfide, ZnS.
There are two major methods of extracting zinc from its ore. They are the direct reduction
of zinc oxide to zinc and by electrolysis. In both methods, zinc oxide is made from the
zinc sulfide in the ore.
(i) How is zinc oxide made from zinc sulfide?
....................................................................................................................................
.............................................................................................................................. [1]
(ii) Write an equation for the reaction used to reduce zinc oxide to zinc.
.............................................................................................................................. [1]
(b) In the electrolytic method, zinc oxide reacts with sulfuric acid to form impure aqueous
zinc sulfate. This solution contains Ni2+, Co2+ and Cu2+ ions as impurities.
(i) Write the equation for the reaction between zinc oxide and sulfuric acid.
.............................................................................................................................. [1]
(ii) Nickel, cobalt and copper are all less reactive than zinc. Explain why the addition of
zinc powder removes these ions from the solution.
....................................................................................................................................
.............................................................................................................................. [2]
(c) The solution of zinc sulfate is electrolysed using inert electrodes.
This electrolysis is similar to that of copper(II) sulfate with inert electrodes.
(i) Write the equation for the reaction at the negative electrode (cathode).
.............................................................................................................................. [1]
(ii) Complete the equation for the reaction at the positive electrode (anode).
