(a) Draw the apparatus that could be used to produce this chromatogram.

[2] (b) Which of the bank notes F, G, H, I and J (i) is not a forgery, ................................................................... (ii) are printed with identical inks, ................................................................... (iii) is printed with ink containing four solvent-soluble dyes? ................................................................... [3] (c) Use your knowledge of bank notes to suggest why water would probably not be a suitable solvent to use for this chromatography. ....................................................................................................................................... .. ..................................................................................................................................[2] 19. Students give their own special symbols to five metallic elements. All five metals are in
the

same group of the Periodic Table. The special symbols are shown in Fig. 8.1. The order of chemical reactivity of these metals is also shown.

The students know 1. the group of the Periodic Table in which these metals are placed, 2. that chlorine, Cl, combines with the metal they had given the special symbol Aa. As a result they give the compound so formed the formula AaCl. (a) (i) In which group of the Periodic Table must all these elements be placed? ................................................................... (ii) Choose from Fig. 8.1 the special symbol of the element which is most likely to be the first member of this group. ................................................................... (iii) Write the formula for the compound formed between this element and oxygen. ................................................................... [3] (b) (i) Suggest the name of the element given the special symbol Bb by the students. ................................................................... (ii) How would you expect this element to react with water? ................................................................... (iii) Use the special symbol Bb to write a chemical equation for this reaction with water. State symbols are not required. ................................................................................................................................. [4]

20. Oxides are classified as acidic, basic, neutral and amphoteric. (a) Complete the table.

(b) (i) Explain the term amphoteric. ...................................................................................................................... ......................................................................................................................

...................................................................................................................... ...............................................[1] (ii) How could you distinguish between an acidic oxide and an amphoteric oxide using hydrochloric acid and aqueous sodium hydroxide? ...................................................................................................................... ...................................................................................................................... ...................................................................................................................... ...............................................[2] [Total: 9]
