    Q3 What are the products of the thermal decomposition of magnesium nitrate?

    A magnesium nitride and oxygen


    B magnesium oxide and nitrogen
    C magnesium oxide, nitrogen and oxygen
    D magnesium oxide, nitrogen dioxide and oxygen

    Q16 Use of the Data Booklet is relevant to this question.


    Which is true for calcium or its compounds compared with the corresponding statements
    for magnesium?
    A Calcium has a smaller atomic radius.
    B Calcium oxide reacts less vigorously with water.
    C Calcium reacts more vigorously with water.
    D The sum of the first two ionisation energies of calcium is greater.

    Q19 Limestone, CaCO3, has been used as a building material for thousands of years,
    and was used on the Pyramids in Egypt. In the past hundred years many limestone
    buildings have begun to suffer damage.
    What is the cause of this damage?
    A hydrocarbon emissions from motorvehicles
    B increased temperature due to global warming
    C increased ultraviolet radiation as the ozone layer is destroyed
    D sulphur dioxide from fossil fuels forming ‘acid rain’

    Q24 Use of the Data Booklet is relevant to this question.


    What mass of solid residue can be obtained from the thermal decomposition of 4.10 g
    of anhydrous calcium nitrate?
    A 0.70 g B 1.00 g C 1.40 g D 2.25 g

    Q30 Slaked lime, Ca(OH)2, may be made from limestone, CaCO3.


    On heating in a lime kiln at 1000 °C, limestone decomposes as follows.
    reaction 1 CaCO3(s) → CaO(s) + CO2(g)
    Water is then reacted with calcium oxide, CaO, as follows.
    reaction 2 CaO(s) + H2O(l) → Ca(OH)2(s)
    What are the enthalpy changes of these reactions?

    Q35 Use of the Data Booklet is relevant to this question.


    The combustion of fossil fuels is a major source of increasing atmospheric carbon
    dioxide, with a consequential rise in global warming. Another significant contribution to
    carbon dioxide levels comes from the thermal decomposition of limestone, in the
    manufacture of cement and of lime for agricultural purposes.
    Cement works roast 1000 million tonnes of limestone per year and a further 200
    million tonnes is roasted in kilns to make lime.
    What is the total annual mass output of carbon dioxide (in million tonnes) from these
    two processes?
    A 440 B 527 C 660 D 880
    Q42

    Q53 Which property of Group II elements (beryllium to barium) decreases with


    increasing atomic number?

    B second ionisation energy
    C solubility of hydroxides
    D stability of the carbonates

    Q55 Steam is passed over heated magnesium to give compound X and


    hydrogen. What is not a property of compound X?
    A It has an Mr of 40.3.
    B It is basic.
    C It is a white solid.
    D It is very soluble in water

    Q69 Use of the Data Booklet is relevant to this question.


    When a mineral was heated in a Bunsen flame to constant mass, a colourless gas
    that turned lime water milky was evolved. The remaining solid was cooled and then
    added to aqueous hydrochloric acid. Vigorous effervescence was seen.
    What was the mineral?
    A aragonite, CaCO3
    B artinite, MgCO3.Mg(OH)2.3H2O
    C barytocalcite, BaCO3.CaCO3
    D dolomite, CaCO3.MgCO3

    to water. Which oxide produces the saturated solution with the highest pH?
    A BaO(aq) B CaO(aq) C MgO(aq) D SrO(aq)

    Q84 The metals of Group II react readily with oxygen to form compounds of general
    formula
    MO. When each of these oxides is added to water, which forms the most alkaline solution?

    A MgO B CaO C SrO D BaO


    Q85 One mole of each of the following compounds is strongly heated and any gas
    produced is collected at room temperature and pressure.
