1. Zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid, HCl(aq), as shown in the following equation.

Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)

A student investigates the rate of this reaction.

The student plans to react 50.0 cm3 of 0.100 mol dm–3 HCl with 0.200 g of zinc (an excess).

Calculate the volume, in cm3, of hydrogen that should be produced at RTP.

volume = ..................................................... cm3

2. Bromine is a reactive element. It combines with other non-metals to form covalent
compounds. Phosphorus tribromide, PBr3, and iodine monobromide, IBr, are examples of
covalent compounds used in organic synthesis.

PBr3 can be prepared by heating bromine with phosphorus, P4.

i. Write an equation for this reaction.

molecules. Give your answer in standard form.

amount of nitrogen atoms = ........................................................ mol

(b). N2O3 reacts with water to form an acid as the only product. This reaction is not a redox
reaction. The empirical formula of the acid formed is the same as the molecular formula.

i. State what is meant by the term molecular formula.

[1]

ii. Suggest the empirical formula of the acid formed.

empirical formula of acid = ........................................................

5. Nitrogen forms several different oxides.


N2O is a useful anaesthetic and NO has been linked to the depletion of ozone in the
stratosphere. N2O is supplied as a compressed gas in steel cylinders for use as an anaesthetic.
The cylinders are stored at 20.0 °C.

Calculate the gas pressure, in Pa, in a 2.32 dm3 steel cylinder containing 187 g of N2O

gas. Give your answer in standard form to three significant figures.

pressure = ............................................................................ Pa
