(b) Identify two compounds that have a pH of less than 7 in aqueous solution.
C, D
Oxygen, sulfur, selenium, tellurium and polonium are in Group VI.
(b) State one large-scale use for oxygen.
Medical use, combustion, steel production
(c)(i) Explain why both isotopes have the same chemical properties.
They have the same number of protons (atomic number)
(c)(ii) Give one difference in the atomic structure of these two isotopes.
They have a different number of neutrons
(d) Calculate the empirical formula of this compound.
SeO2Cl2
(e)(i) The temperature of the sample is decreased. The pressure remains constant.
The volume decreases as the particles have less kinetic energy and occupy less space
(e)(ii) The pressure of the sample is decreased. The temperature remains constant.
The volume increases as the particles have more space to move around
(a)(i) Name the type of polymer shown.
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
(a)(iii) Suggest one problem associated with this method of disposal.
Releases toxic gases like HCl
(b)(i) Suggest what is meant by the term biodegradable.
Can be broken down by microorganisms
(b)(iii) A factory uses 500 tonnes of lactic acid to make poly(lactic acid). The percentage yield is 100% but the mass of poly(lactic acid) made is less than 500 tonnes.
(b)(iii) Explain why the mass of poly(lactic acid) made is less than 500 tonnes.
Some mass is lost as water is removed during polymerisation
(b)(iv) Suggest what happens to the lactic acid in this reaction.
It is oxidised
(b)(v) Write the ionic equation for this neutralisation.
H+ + OH- → H2O
(a) Predict two physical properties, other than electrical conductivity, of zinc bromide.
