chromate (VI) is formed due to the increasing amount of potassium chromate (VI) added to the test tubes.
3. The colour of solution above the precipitate in test tubes 1 to 4 are colourless due to the excess lead (II)
nitrate.
4. The colour of solution above the precipitate in test tubes 6 to 7 is yellow due to the excess potassium
chromate (VI).
5. Ionic equation: Pb2+ + Cr2O72- PbCr2O7
Conclusion:
As / when the volume of potassium chromate (VI) solution used increases, the height of the precipitate
increases until it achieves a maximum height.

Explanation
Sulphur is burned in the excess of oxygen gas to produce sulphur
dioxide gas.
SO2 is then heated in excess oxygen gas, catalyst Vanadium (V)
oxide, 1 atm and 450 550 o C , to produce sulphur trioxide gas.
Gas sulfur trioxide dissolve in sulphuric acid to produce oleum
Oleum is added to water to produce sulfuric acid

Gas SO3 is not dissolve in water to produce H2SO4 straight away because the reaction will produce
a lot of heat which is dangerous( cause the forming of acid fumes)
Usage of sulphuric acid:
To manufacture fertilizer, soap and detergent
To make explosive material, paint / pigment, polymer
As metal cleaner and electrolyte in car battery.

3. High percentage of nitrogen is a good fertilser for plants. How to calculate %N in fertiliser?
urea CO(NH2)2 and ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3), which one is a better fertiliser?
[ RAM : N,14; C,12 ;O,16; H,1]
Sample answer:
% N in Urea = mass of nitrogen / RMM urea x 100
= 2x14 / 60 x 100 = 46.67%
% N in NH4NO3 = 2x14 / 80 x 100 = 35.00 %
Urea is a good fertilizer than ammonium nitrate, because the percentage of nitrogen in urea higher than
ammonium nitrate.
4. Describe how toxic waste product from factory affects the quality of the environment. Your description
should include the following aspects. Source, process and effect.
Sample answer:

2. [process ] sulphur dioxide gas dissolves in rain water / water to form acid rain,
2SO2 +O2 + 2H2O 2H2SO4]
3. [effect ] toxic waste / acid flows to into lakes and rivers, acid rain lowers the pH value of water,
soil and air.
4. Fish and other aquatic organisms die.
5. acid rain corrodes concrete buildings and metal structures
6. acid destroys trees in forest
7. Acid rain reacts with minerals in soil to produces salt which are leached out the top soil.
8. Plants die of malnutrition and diseases.
9. Soil becomes acidic, unsuitable for growth of plants and destroys the roots of plants.
10. sulphur dioxide causes respiratory problems in humans.

Conclusion:
1

Vulcanised rubber is more elastic than unvulcanised rubber due to the presence of cross-linkage
of sulfur atoms between the rubber molecules. Vulcanised rubber could return to its original
length after removal of the weight.

To prepare vulcanised rubber


Rubber can be vulcanized by dipping natural rubber sheets into disulphur dichloride solution
in methylbenzene or heated with sulphur.
Note:
Vulcanised rubber is more heat resistance due to the presence of cross-linkage of sulfur atoms

The nail in test tube A rusted a little. No rusting occurred to the nails in test tubes B and C .The nail in test
tube D rusted but the nail in test tube E rusted even more.
Discussion
1. Based on the observations magnesium and zinc metals inhibit rusting of iron, while copper and tin
metals speed up rusting of iron.
2. This is because magnesium and zinc are more electropositive than iron. Magnesium atom or zinc
atom releases its electron more easily than iron.
Mg Mg2+ + 2e
O2 + 2H2O + 4e 4OH3. Copper and tin are less electropositive than iron. Iron atom releases its electrons more easily than
copper atom or tin atom.
4. Fe Fe2+ + 2e
5. The less electropositive metals that in contact with iron, the faster the rusting of iron occurs.
6. The more electropositive metals that in contact with iron prevent iron from rusting.
Conclusion:
Rusting can be prevented when iron is in contact with a more electropositive metal. Rusting occurs
faster when iron is in contact with a less electropositive metal.

Example: Zn + CuSO4 ZnSO4 + Cu // Zn + Cu2+ Cu + Zn2+

CHAPTER 14: CHEMICALS FOR CONSUMERS


Example:
1. (a) A student washed his socks which had oily stains. Explain the cleansing action of soap on the oily
stains.
In water soap ionizes to form ions/anion CH3(CH2)x COO- and cation, sodium ions, Na+
The anions consists of hydrophilic part ( -COO -) and hydrophobic part (hydrocarbon)
Hydrophilic part dissolve in water only but hydrophobic part dissolve in grease only.
The anions reduce surface tension of water, causing wetting of greasy surface.
During washing and scrubbing, the anions pull the grease and lifted it off the surface and break it
into a small droplets (Emulsifying agent)
Rinsing away the dirty water removes the grease (the dirt) and excess soap and the surface is
clean.

(b) Another student carried out four experiments to investigate the cleansing effect of soap and detergent
on oily stains in soft water and hard water respectively.

Compare the cleansing effect between


(i) Experiments I and II
(ii) Experiment II and IV
Explain the differences in the observation
Exp. I and II
The oily stain disappears in Experiment I but remains oily in Experiment II.
Hard water contains Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions which reacts with soap ions to form
scum (insoluble salt)
The formation of scum makes anions less efficient for cleaning the oily stain on the sock
In soft water, all anions are used to clean the oily stain
Thus, soap is only effective as a cleansing agent in soft water and ineffective in hard water.
Exp. II and IV
The sock in Experiment II remains oily but is clean in experiment IV.
The soap anions form scum when reacts with Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions in hard water.
The formation of scum makes anions less efficient for cleaning

The detergent anions CH3(CH2)x OSO3- / CH3(CH2)x


O SO3 do not form a precipitate with
Ca2+ and Mg2+ in hard water.
Hence, detergent cleans effectively in hard water but soap does not clean effectively in hard water.
