Explanation
(a)(i) Ionic bond is the electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions/cations and anions. OR Ionic bond is defined as the type of bond that is formed from/ by/ through the transfer of electrons from one atom of an element (metal) to an atom of another (non - metal). (ii) (I) – Ionic / electrovalent. (II) – „Coordinate (Covalent) / dative.
(b) Oxidation number of sulphur in NaSO; 2 x Na + 2 x S + 3 x 0 = 0 2 x 1 + 2s + 3(-2) = 0 2 + 2s – 6 = 0 2s = 4 s = +2
c) Farady's first law states that the mass of an element discharged during electrolysis is directly proportional to the of current passed.
(d)(i) NaHSO, NaHCO, KHSO, etc. (ii) Mg(OH)Cl, Zn(OH)Cl, Zn(OH)NO, etc.
e)(i) Sublimation energy. (ii) Electron affinity.
f) (i) NaSO No effect on litmus paper/Neutral to litmus. (ii) AlCl —Turns blue litmus paper red/Acidic to litmus.
(g) Efflorescence: Loss of (all apart from) water of crystallization by a substance on exposure to the air/Atmosphere.
(h) Activated Charcoal: (i) To remove colouring matter. (ii) To absorb gases. (iii) To remove impurities from liquids. (iv) Whitening of teeth. (v) To remove scent/To decolourize.
(i)(i) Hydrogenaton of Vegetable Oil: Production of margarine/Hardening of oils. (ii) Cracking: Increase the yield of petrol/Improves the quality of petrol to produce raw materials or petrochemicals. (iii) Esterification: Production of akanoates. —as solvents for paints/gums/cellulose. —in perfumery. —in making cellulose acetate (for photographic films). —as flavouring agents. j) Ag + eg Ag 96500c of electricity deposits I mole of Ag 10920c of electricity = = 0.113moles = 0.11 moles.
