(a) C V ( l ) has the smallest atomic radius and is the most electronegative element in the
periodic table. Vl / as one traverses the period number of protons increases hence the
nuclear attraction increases.

Surface area/particle size Vl. (i)
With hydrochloric acid an insoluble lead chloride is formed, which coats the
lead carbonate VX preventing the reaction between the acid and the carbonate from
proceeding. Vl
The reaction would shift to the left changing the solution from colourless to yellow/
orange Vl. Addition of HC1 creates excess H+ which disturbs the equilibrium so it
shifts to the left to get rid of the excess H+ ions. Vl

The hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions which form water (1) are discharged at the
electrodes leaving MgS04 concentrated. The amount of water electrolysed is more than the
amount of water formed at the anode. Vl

(c) The solution changes from blue to colourless Vl and a brown solid is formed. Vl The
magnesium which is above copper in the reactivity series displaces the copper ions Vl
from the solution. Apparatus become warm. The reaction is exothermic.
(d (i) Add nitric (V) acid to lead oxide, filter//^, add a soluble sulphate/ sulphuric acid to the
) filtrate 4/. Filter VX, and wash residue with distilled water VV 2 to remove traces of
the filterate, then dry residue between VX filter papers /oven.
(ii) Determine the melting Vl point, if it is pure the melting point will be
constant. Vl
