QUESTION 2

2.1 The temperature at which the vapour pressure of a substance equals

atmospheric pressure. ✓✓ (2)

2.2 2.2.1 As the molecular mass increases, the boiling point increases. ✓✓
(cannot be DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL, not shown by graph) (2)

2.2.2 As the molecular mass increases, ✓ the strength of the intermolecular

forces increases. ✓ Therefore more energy is needed to overcome/
weaken the intermolecular forces. ✓(No mark if BROKEN is used
instead of overcome or weaken.) Thus the boiling point increases. (3)

2.3 2.3.1 H2O/water ✓ (1)

2.3.2 Hydrogen bonds ✓✓ (2)

2.3.3 Hydrogen bonds are stronger than dipole-dipole forces ✓ therefore more
energy is needed to overcome/weaken the forces. ✓ Thus the boiling
point is higher than expected. (2)

QUESTION 3

3.1 3.1.1

✓✓

(2)

3.1.2

✓✓ (2)

3.2 A polar covalent bond is a bond in which the electron density is shared
unequally between the two atoms. ✓✓

OR

A bond between two non-metals where the difference in electronegativity is

more than 1. ✓✓ (2)

3.3 3.3.1 HF/Hydrogen fluoride ✓ (1)

3.3.2 CaSO4/Calcium sulphate ✓ (1)

3.4 Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom in a molecule to

attract bonding electrons. ✓✓ (2)

3.5 ΔEN = 4 – 1 = 3 ✓
∴ Ionic bond ✓ (2)

3.6 Polar molecule ✓ (1)

3.7 Δen = 4 – 2,1 = 1,9 ✓

∴ polar bond ✓
Thus, the molecule is polar. (2)

QUESTION 4

4.1 What is the relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas, when
temperature is kept constant? ✓✓ (2)

4.2 4.2.1 Volume ✓ (1)

4.2.2 Temperature/Mass of gas ✓ (1)

4.3 The pressure of an enclosed gas is inversely proportional to the volume it

occupies at constant temperature. ✓✓ (2)

4.4 OPTION 1 OPTION 2

p1V1 = p2V2 ✓ p1V1 = p2V2 ✓
(150)(350) = (400)X✓ (150)(0,35) = (0,400)X✓
X = 131,25 cm3 ✓ X = 131,25 cm3 ✓

Note:
✓ Equation
✓ Substitution
✓ Answer with correct units (3)

4.5 At high pressure, a real gas’s particles will occupy space and have a volume. ✓
The attraction and repulsive forces between the particles become significant. ✓
Thus a real gas will liquefy at high pressures. (2)

QUESTION 5

5.1 The flask is open.✓

The SO2 gas is able to escape. ✓
Thus the mass will decrease. (2)

5.2 Accept between 6,4 s and 6,6 s ✓✓ (2)

5.3 OPTION 1 OPTION 2

Δm = mf – mi ✓ Δm = mi – mf✓
= 116 – 160 ✓ = 160 – 116 ✓
= -44 g = 44 g ✓
∴ mass decreases by 44 g ✓
Note:
✓ Equation
✓ Substitution
✓ Positive final answer (3)
