    Revision Questions (Year 3 Term Test 1) ANSWERS

    Uploaded by

    Allison Jane Chan
    This document provides the answers to a chemistry revision test, including the answers to multiple choice questions and explanations for longer answer questions. The longer questions cover topics like naming an element from its atomic number, drawing dot-and-cross diagrams of ionic compounds, and explaining physical properties of ionic compounds. Another question provides the structural formula of caffeine and asks about its composition and why it is a compound. The last question describes how a student could determine the identity of an unknown substance by comparing its melting point when mixed with other substances of known melting points.

    Revision Questions for Term 1 Test (ANSWERS)

    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
    A D B A D D B D C D
    11 12 13 14 15 16 17
    B B C A B A C

    18. (a) An element has an atomic number of 15. Use the Periodic Table to name this
    element and give its symbol.

    Phosphorus, P

    (b) Explain why

    (i) this element is placed in Group 15 of the Periodic Table.

    It has five valence electrons.

    (ii) the ion of this element has a charge of 3–.

    P is a non-metal, and will gain three electrons to obtain a noble gas


    configuration (octet structure), hence forming P3–.

    (c) Draw a dot-and-cross diagram to show the chemical bonds present in the
    compound formed between this element and magnesium.
    (d) State and explain two physical properties that are likely to be exhibited by the
    compound formed in (c).

    Mg3P2 is an ionic compound.

    Any 2 of these physical properties:

    • It conducts electricity only in molten or aqueous state as the lattice


    is broken down and ions are mobile (and can act as charge
    carriers).

    • High melting and boiling point as large amount of energy is


    required to overcome the strong electrostatic forces of attraction
    between oppositely charged ions.

    • Hard because ionic bonds are strong and non-directional.

    • Brittle because the ordered arrangement of oppositely charged


    ions can be easily dislocated when shear stress is applied causing
    similarly charged ions to be brought closed together, causing
    repulsion and fracture of crystal lattice.

    19. Caffeine is a stimulant and is naturally found in coffee beans and tea. The melting
    point of caffeine is 238oC. The structural formula of caffeine is shown below.

    (a) Give the names of the elements present in caffeine.

    Carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen


    (b) Give two reasons why caffeine is a compound and not a mixture.

    - Caffeine has a fixed and constant melting point of 238 oC.


    - The elements present in caffeine are in fixed composition.
    - The elements present in caffeine have very different
    properties from that of caffeine.
    - When caffeine is formed from its elements, heat energy is
    involved.
    - Caffeine cannot be separated into its elements by physical
    methods.

    [Any 2 of the above]

    20. An unidentified substance M was thought to be one of the following three


    substances.

    substance A B C
    melting point / oC 156 157 158

    Given separate samples of M and the three substances A, B and C, describe what
    a student can do to determine the identity of M.

    He can mix M with each of the three substances A, B and C separately.

    Then heat each mixture and determine the melting point of each mixture.

    For the mixture that melted at a fixed and constant temperature as the
    melting point of A, B or C, M will be that substance.
