(a)(i) Oxide of non-metals which dissolve in water to form acidic solution.
(ii) 1. Acidic oxides:- SO/CO/NO, etc.
2. Basic oxides:- CaO/NaO/KO, etc.
3. Amphoteric oxides:- AlO/ZnO/PbO, etc.
4. Neutral oxides:- CO/NO, etc.
(b)(i) Heat of combustion is the heat change when one mole of a substance is completely burnt in oxygen or burnt in excess oxygen
(ii) Heat of neutralization is the heat change when one mole of water is produced as a result of a reaction between an acid and alkali in dilLte solution or the heat change when one mole of H+ from an acid reacts with one mole of OH from an alkali to form one mole of HO.
(ii)1. C + O CO
2. HaOH + HCl NaCI + HO Hn
3. Molar mass of CH = 12 x 4 + 1 x 10
= 48 + 10 = 58g mol .
58g of CH = 5877kJ mol
14.5 of CH = kJ mol
= + 1469.25 kJ.
(c)(i) Rhombic
Monoclinic
Rhombic | Monoclinic |
Yellow translucent crystal | Transparent amber crystal |
Stable at temperature below 96°C | Unstable at temperature below 96°C |
Higher density than monoclinic | Lower density than rhombic |
Lower melting point | Higher melting point |
Octahedral shaped | Needle shaped. |
(d)(i)(a) They are monoatomic gases
(b) They are chemically unreactive
(c) Have low melting/boiling point.
(ii) He — filling balloons. Ar — arc welding.
