Q3
(a) (i) It is non-superimposable on mirror image/ it has a single asymmetric carbon atom

(ii)

rotates the plane (of polarisation) (1) of (plane) polarised (monochromatic) light (1) OR Use a polarimeter (1) rotates the plane (of polarisation) of the light (1) product is an equimolar mixture/racemic mixture (1) so rotations cancel (1)

p ( N 2 ) p (O 2 ) p ( NO) 2

Correct number of moles (1) Correct mole fractions (1) Correct partial pressures (1) 3 2.45 10 (1) ACCEPT 24 SF

(c)

Kp increases (1) Equilibrium moves to r.h.s. (1) which is the exothermic direction (1) (i) (ii) Kp = p (Ni(CO)4) / p(CO)

(d)

High partial pressure with some reason (1) so the pressure Ni(CO)4 increases to keep Kp constant. (1)

Q5
(a) (i) Energy released/ exothermic/ H negative (1) when one mole of lattice/crystal solid is formed (1) from its gaseous ions (1) BornHaber cycle (2) 1 mark for cycle showing all balanced species 1 mark for all state symbols correct Calculation marks (3) 1 mark for 2x EA of Cl 1 mark for 2x Hat of Cl used 1 mark for working plus answer = +123 kJ mol (b) (c) Radius of Mg is smaller than that of Mg (1) And it has a higher charge (1) Fluoride ion small and not polarisable (1) larger I ion easily polarised (1) so (considerable) covalence in MgI2 (1).

(d)

Ba is larger than Mg (1) so enthalpy of hydration is less exothermic/negative (1) so enthalpy of solution of BaSO4 is more positive (1). OR Sulphate ion is large and so lattice enthalpy is fairly constant (1) Therefore solubility depends on the hydration enthalpy of the cations (1) The larger the cation size, the less exothermic the enthalpy of hydration (1) 3
