WAEC GCE Chemistry Theory Answers:

(1a)

(i) Sodium trioxonitrate (v) decahydrate

NaNO₃ . 10H₂O

(ii) Sodium Oxide –> Na₂O

(iii) Potassium tetraoxophospate (v) –> K₃PO₄

(1b)

Products formed are:

Hydrogen gas (a+ cathode)

Chlorine gas (a+ anode)

(1ci)

it decrease down the group

(1cii)

As the atomic radius increases down the group the attraction of the positive nucleus of the electron outer most electron, thus the ionization energy decreases

(1di)

Nitrogen and carbon (ii) oxide

(1dii)

it is used to heat furnace

(1diii)

it is a source of nitrogen for the manufacture of ammonia

(1ei)

Sodium hydrogen – used in qualitative analysis

– Purification of bauxite

(1eii)

Sodium trioxocarbonate (iv)

-Manufacture of glass

(2ai)
Percentage C5H12 of mass m = 7.2g
Volume of O2 = 20.0dm³
(i) from the general combustion equation
CxHy(g) + (x+y/4)O2 –> XCO2 + y/2H2O
C5H12(l) + 802(g) –> 5CO2(g) + 6H2O(l)

(2aii)
1 mole of C5H12(72g) = 5 moles of CO2
At stop 7.2gC5H12 = x volume of CO2
X = 7.2g×5×22.4dm³/72g
X = 5×2.224 = 11.2dm³ of CO2

(2aiii)
Volume of oxygen left after the reaction from the equation of reaction
1 mole of C5H12(72g) = 8(22.4)dm³
7.2g = x
X = 7.2×8×22.4/72 = 17.92dm³
Volume of O2 left after the reaction
= 20.0dm³ – 17.92dm³
= 2.08dm³

(2b)
When molecules collide with one another they possess kinetic energy. As most energetic molecules (those with greater kinetic energy) try to escape. Their escape may be facilitated by heat or by passing a wave of air over the container or by increasing the surface area of the container. As they try to do this, some molecules will loose energy on collision and fall back to the container; as such the average kinetic of the molecules of the liquid in the container reduces which results to cooling effect.

(2ci)
Avogadro’s Law states that the total number of atoms/molecules of a gas (i.e. the amount of gaseous substance) is directly proportional to the volume occupied by the gas at constant temperature and pressure.

(2cii)
N2(g) + 3H2—> 2NH3
Where 1 mole = 30cm³ of gas

At constant temperature, the volume of a fixed mass of gas. When the volume of a cylinder or a container is increased, the gases have more space to travel and collide hence the pressure is reduced but as the volume is decreased or compressed the gases have less space to travel therefore more pressure is built up.

No (3ai)
¹³R, ⁸Q
¹³R=1s²,2s²,2p⁶,3s²,3p¹
⁸Q=1s²,2s²,2p⁴

(3aii)
¹³R=2,8,3
Valency of ¹³R is 3
⁸Q= 2,6

(3di)
2H² SO4(aq)+4NaOH(aq)—>2Na² SO4(aq)+4H²O(s)

(3dii)
Sodium teraoxosulphate (iv) salt and water

(3diii)
The resulting solution NaSO4 is basic and will have no effect on litmus paper

(3div)
When heated to dryness it can be used as a dehydrating agent

(3di)
2H² SO4(aq)+4NaOH(aq)—>2Na² SO4(aq)+4H²O(s)

(3dii)
Sodium teraoxosulphate (iv) salt and water
