the voltage of the cell.
10. C
Electrons flow from P to R, indicating that P is at a higher position than R in the
Electrochemical Series. Electrons flow from P to Q, indicating that P is at a
higher position than Q in the Electrochemical Series. The cell with a metal
couple P/Q gives a higher voltage than the cell with a metal couple P/R. Hence,
the tendency of a metal to lose electrons is P > R > Q. Electrons flow from S to Q,
indicating that S is at a higher position than Q in the Electrochemical Series. If
the polarities of the electrodes S and Q are reversed, the voltage of the cell is
+2.01 V. This indicates that S and Q are the furthest apart in the Electrochemical
Series.
11. B

Y.
12. A

than zinc in the Electrochemical Series. Magnesium loses electrons
more readily to copper than zinc does.
(ii) The bulb does not light up. There is no difference in the tendency of
losing electrons between the two copper strips and so there will be no
electron flow in the external circuit.

(b) The colour of the resultant solution is red.
(c) The respective products formed at the anode and at the cathode are the same as
that formed when 1.0 M copper(II) sulphate solution is electrolysed. This is
because Cu2+(aq) is lower than H+(aq) in the Electrochemical Series. Cu2+(aq)
ions are preferentially discharged at the cathode. Although the concentration of
SO42–(aq) has been increased much, the OH–(aq) is much higher than SO42–(aq)
in the Electrochemical Series. OH–(aq) ions are preferentially discharged at the
anode.

(a) preferentially, lower
(b) Colourless bubbles evolve at the anode. OH–(aq) ions are preferentially
discharged because OH–(aq) is higher than Cl–(aq) in the Electrochemical Series.
10. D
Chlorine is produced at electrode X. It is greenish yellow in colour. Electrode X
is the positive electrode. Reduction occurs at electrode Y: Mg2+(l) + 2e– → Mg(l).
11. C
During electrolysis, electrical energy is converted into chemical energy.
Electricity is required for electrolysis. Graphite or platinum is commonly used as
inert electrodes in electrolysis.
12. C
Reaction occurring at the anode: 4OH–(aq) → O2(g) + 2H2O(l) + 4e–
Reaction occurring at the cathode: 2H+(aq) + 2e− → H2(g)
Hence, for every mole of oxygen liberated at the anode, there are two moles of
hydrogen liberated at the cathode.
13. B
(2): silver metal instead of hydrogen gas would be produced at the cathode.
14. B
The object that is to be electroplated should be made the cathode. The electrolyte
solution used should be an aqueous solution containing ions of the plating metal.
15. B
(1): the solution will become more acidic because both H+(aq) and OH–(aq) are
consumed continuously as electrolysis goes on. The concentration of nitric acid
increases gradually.
(2): the solution will become less acidic because both H+(aq) and Cl–(aq) are
consumed continuously as electrolysis goes on. The concentration of
hydrochloric acid decreases gradually.
(3): no change in concentration of the solution as there is only a net transfer of
copper from anode to cathode.
16. D
17. (a) Pure water ionizes only very slightly to give mobile ions for conducting
electricity. / It is a poor conductor of electricity.
(b) Hydrogen chloride gas dissolves in water and ionizes to give mobile H+(aq)
and Cl–(aq) ions for conducting electricity.

(d) At electrode A: 4OH–(aq) → O2(g) + 2H2O(l) + 4e–
At electrode B: 2H+(aq) + 2e− → H2(g)
(e) The overall equation for the reaction is 2H2O(l) → 2H2(g) + O2(g).
The mole ratio of the gases formed at the anode and at the cathode is 1:2.
Thus, the rates of formation of the gases are different.
19. (a) (i) Zinc is a stronger reducing agent than copper. It loses electrons to form
Zn2+(aq) ions: Zn(s) → Zn2+(aq) + 2e–.
Silver is a weaker reducing agent than copper. It sinks to the bottom of
the electrolytic cell.
(ii) Cu2+(aq) is a stronger oxidizing agent than Zn2+(aq). Cu2+(aq) ions are
preferentially discharged to form copper.
(b) Cu (aq) + 2e– → Cu(s)
2+
(c) Zinc forms ions more readily than copper at the anode while copper(II) ions
are preferentially discharged at the cathode. As a result, the concentration of
copper(II) ions in the solution decreases. The colour intensity of the solution
decreases.
2. A
Zinc loses electrons more readily than lead. Hence, the electrons flow from zinc
to lead through the external circuit. Pb2+(aq) reacts with Cl–(aq) to form insoluble
PbCl2(s). Hence, sodium chloride solution cannot be used to prepare salt bridge.
3. B
The equation in option B does not represent a redox reaction because the
oxidation number of every element does not change during the reaction.

(C): the colourless potassium iodide solution turns brown.
(D): sodium carbonate and water form when carbon dioxide is bubbled into
sodium hydroxide solution. Both sodium hydroxide solution and sodium
carbonate solution are colourless.
7. D
Concentrated hydrochloric acid reacts with zinc to give hydrogen, while
concentrated sulphuric acid reacts with zinc to give sulphur dioxide. Sulphur
dioxide can turn a piece of filter paper soaked with acidified potassium
dichromate solution from orange to green. But hydrogen cannot.
Concentrated sulphuric acid oxidizes copper or carbon. There is no reaction
between concentrated hydrochloric acid and copper or carbon.
8. B
Zinc loses electrons to form zinc ions in the cell reaction. Hence, zinc case is the
negative electrode of the cell.
9. B
During electrolysis, H+(aq) ions are discharged and reduced to hydrogen at the
cathode. Cl–(aq) ions are discharged and oxidized to chlorine at the anode. Water
ionizes continuously to replace the discharge of H+(aq). Hence, the amount of
OH–(aq) ions in the solution increases and the solution gradually becomes
alkaline.
10. A
11. D
As electrolysis goes on, H+(aq) and I–(aq) ions are consumed and K+(aq) and
OH–(aq) ions remain. The solution eventually becomes potassium hydroxide.
12. A
The plating metal should be made the anode. The electrolyte solution should be
an aqueous solution containing ions of the plating metal.

orange to green.
Cr2O72–(aq) + 2H+(aq) + 3SO2(g) → 2Cr3+(aq) + 3SO42–(aq) + H2O(l)
(d) The limewater turns milky.
Ca(OH)2(aq) + CO2(g) → CaCO3(s) + H2O(l)
(e) The limewater will turn milky but the acidified potassium dichromate
solution will have no observable change. This is because both SO2 and CO2
are acidic gases. They will be removed by the calcium hydroxide in test
tube B. No gas will enter test tube A.
17. (a) The ions in solid sodium chloride are not mobile. Thus, it does not conduct
electricity. But in molten state, the ions in the sodium chloride become
mobile.

(b) (i) Lowered. As some heat is lost, the temperature rise during
measurement will be lowered and so is the calculated value.
(ii) Raised. As the actual specific heat capacity is smaller, there will be a
higher temperature rise and so is the calculated value.
(iii) Lowered. As less iron reacts, less heat will be released. This results in a
smaller temperature rise and thus the calculated value will be lowered.
16. (a) The mass of ethanol decreased. This is because when ethanol burnt, it gave
carbon dioxide and water. The carbon dioxide would escape from the spirit
burner.

(c) The student’s claim is incorrect. During the hydrogenation of alkenes, the
C=C bond in alkenes and H–H bond in hydrogen are also broken. The
bond-breaking processes are endothermic.
(d) Since three C=C bonds are hydrogenated in hexa-1, 3, 5-triene, the standard
enthalpy change of hydrogenation of hexa-1, 3, 5-triene should be about
three times of the standard enthalpy change of hydrogenation of ethene.
