Answer ALL the questions in this section. You should aim to spend no more than 20
minutes on this section. For each question, select one answer from A to D and put a
cross in the box .
If you change your mind, put a line through the box and then mark your new
answer with a cross .
1 In which of the following ions does the metal have an oxidation number of +3?
A MnO42–
B VO2+
C [Fe(CN)6]4–
D [CrCl2(H2O)4]+
(Total for Question 1 = 1 mark)
2 Copper metal is oxidized to Cu2+ by nitrate(V) ions which are
reduced to nitrogen monoxide, NO.
By considering the changes to the oxidation numbers of copper and nitrogen, it
can be deduced that in this reaction
A 2 mol of copper reacts with 3 mol of nitrate(V) ions.
B 2 mol of copper reacts with 5 mol of nitrate(V) ions.
C 3 mol of copper reacts with 2 mol of nitrate(V) ions.
D 5 mol of copper reacts with 2 mol of nitrate(V) ions.
(Total for Question 2 = 1 mark)

, 3 The diagram below shows a cell set up between a copper metal / copper(II)
ion electrode and a reference electrode, known as a calomel electrode.
V
copper metal salt
bridge
calomel electrode
copper(II) sulfate
solution
Under standard conditions, the emf of this cell was −0.07 V. The standard
electrode potential of the copper metal / copper(II) ion electrode is +0.34 V.
Hence the standard electrode potential of the calomel electrode is
A −0.41 V
B −0.27 V
C +0.27 V
D +0.41 V
(Total for Question 3 = 1 mark)
4 For the reaction
2NO2(g) N2O4(g)
at 450 K the total entropy change, ǻStotal, is negative. Hence the equilibrium
constant, Kp, for this reaction at 450 K is
A zero.
B positive and greater than 1.
C positive and less than 1.
D negative.
