Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which compound, when added to aqueous iron(II) sulphate, takes part in a redox reaction?

Answer: potassium manganate(VII)

Aqeuous iron(II) salts act as a reducing agent, while potassium mangante(VII) is an oxidising agent. The end product of the reaction gives a colorless or pale yellow solution.

Answer: a black solid and a colorless solution

Copper(II) oxide is a catalyst. It remains chemically unchanged at the end of the reaction. Hydrogen peroxide decomposes to become water and oxygen. Since copper(II) oxide is insoluble, a black solid and a colorless solution is formed at the end of the reaction.

3. Copper(II) chloride cannot be prepared by reacting dilute hydrochloric acid with

Answer: copper

Copper is too unreactive to have any reaction with dilute hydrochloric acid.

4. What is the same for both ethene and poly(ethene)?

Answer: empirical formula

The percentage composition of carbon and hydrogen is the same for both ethene and poly(ethene), there is no elimination or addition of any element or compound when forming poly(ethene) from ethene. Thus, empirical formula is the same.

5. Although aluminum is a reactive metal, it does not corrode easily. Why is this so?

Answer: it is protected by a layer of aluminum oxide

Aluminum reacts with oxygen in the air to form a non-porous layer of aluminum oxide that adheres to the metallic surface. This layer is very unreactive and protects the metal from corrosion.

6. Which of the following mixtures is best separated by the use of a separating funnel?

Answer: ethyl ethanoate and water

Ethyl ethanoate is immiscible with water, thus it is best separated using a separating funnel.

7. Rubidium is an element in group I of the Periodic Table. Which statement about rubidium is likely to be correct?

Answer: it forms an alkali with water

Group I metals, known as alkali metals, are the most reactive metals. They form very stable compounds and are not discharged in aqueous state. They can be obtained by electrolysis of its molten compound. They also react vigorously with water to form alkali.

8. When aqueous ammonium chloride was heated with aqueous Y, a pungent gas which turned moist red litmus paper blue evolved. Which ion must have been present in Y?

Answer: hydroxide ion

The gas is ammonia, thus aqueous Y must be an alkali, which therefore must contain the hydroxide ion. Ammonia is highly soluble in solution, thus must be heated to expel it from the solution.

9. Which of the following compounds share the same type of linkage?

Answer: terylene and fats

Terylene and fats share the ester linkage, nylon and proteins share the amide linkage.

10. Which of the following is an endothermic reaction?

Answer: dissolving sodium chloride in water

The energy needed to separate the sodium and chloride ions in the crystal lattice is greater than the energy evolved when the ions form hydrated ions. Heat of solution: +5.4 kJ per mol
