Developing metals
Instructions and answers for teachers
These instructions cover the student activity section which can be found on page 9. This
Lesson Element supports OCR A Level Chemistry B (Salters).
When distributing the activity section to the students either as a printed copy or as a
Word file you will need to remove the teacher instructions section.
The Activity
This Lesson Element is a teaching and learning resource containing 10 multiple choice
questions (MCQs) on the theme of developing metals. Some questions might require
synoptic thinking, using knowledge and ideas from various topics across the full A Level
content.
This resource can be used to test and consolidate understanding at the end of a topic or to
revisit and refresh knowledge at a later point in the course.
Learning Outcomes
This Lesson Element relates to the specification learning outcomes DM(b), DM(c), DM(d),
DM(e), DM(f), DM(g), DM(h), DM(j), DM(k), DM(m), DM(n).
Introduction
Multiple choice questions allow rapid coverage of a wide range of sub-topics.
Contrary to a widespread belief among students, multiple choice questions are not
necessarily easy they can be easy, moderate or difficult.
The questions are written so that the incorrect answers are plausible distractors based on
common errors or misconceptions.
The questions in this quiz cover topics mainly from specification sections:
Developing metals.
Your answer B
Your answer C
What is the likely formula of the complex ion present in the original solution?
Your answer C
What are the correct values of w, x, y and z in order to balance the equation?
Your answer C
Your answer B
6. The ethanedioate ion, C2O42, forms an octahedral complex with Fe3+ ions in solution.
Which option gives the correct information for this complex?
A
6 3 3
B
6 6 9
C
8 4 5
B Correct answer: The ethanedioate ion forms six dative bonds from three
ligands as it is bidentate; the overall charge is 3 as the three
ethanedioate ions have a cumulative charge of 6 and the iron has a
charge of +3.
D The learner has identified that the ligand is bidentate but has been
confused by the term octahedral and has assumed this means eight
dative bonds.
Your answer B
A Copper atoms are oxidised. Correct answer: The copper half-cell has a
less positive electrode potential so the copper
atoms will lose electrons to form copper(II)
ions.
C Electrons flow from the iron half- The copper half-cell loses electrons (see A)
cell to the copper half-cell. so they will flow from the copper half-cell to
the iron half-cell.
D Fe2+ ions are acting as oxidising The Fe3+ ions are the ones accepting
agents. electrons and so they are oxidising agents
Fe2+ ions are produced in the reaction.
Your answer A
8. Which statement is correct for the use of a colorimeter to determine the concentration
of a solution of manganate(VII) ions?
B The colorimeter gives a direct The colorimeter can only read relative units of
reading of concentration. absorbance the calibration curve is required
to convert absorbance to concentration.
C The filter should be similar colour The filter should be a complementary colour
to the solution. to the solution so that maximum absorbance
is achieved.
Your answer A
B Excited electrons emit blue light Electrons absorb visible light when they are
as they fall back down to their excited but do not re-emit this energy as light.
original energy level.
C The d-orbitals are split by the The d-orbitals are split by the water ligands,
presence of the sulfate ions. hence anhydrous copper(II) sulfate being
white.
Your answer D
10. Which statement(s) is/are true for all transition metal elements?
Your answer D
