For each question there are four possible answers, A, B, C and D. Choose the one you consider
to be correct and indicate your answers in the brackets provided.

1. Iodine-131 is a radioactive isotope with a half-life of 8 days. Following the nuclear power
plant disaster at Chernobyl in 1986, it was stated that a cloud of vapour containing
iodine-131 was formed which would not be safe for 80 days.  10 half-lives
Given that radioactive decay is a first-order reaction (constant half-life), what fraction of
the isotope would remain after that time?

After 10 half-lives, fraction of reactant left =  

. The table shows experimental results obtained for the rate of the following reaction.
2XO + O2  2XO2 Expt 1 Expt 2 Expt 3 Expt 4

(partial pressure of XO)1 (in arbitrary units) 100 100 50 25

4x
What is the missing value of the partial pressure of O2 in the table?
Comparing expt 1 and 2:
When PO increases to 4 times, rate also increases to 4 times.
2

 order of reaction w.r.t PO is 1.


2

Comparing expt 1 and 3:


When PXO doubles, rate also doubles.
 order of reaction w.r.t PXO is 1.

Comparing expt 3 and 4:


When PXO doubles, rate increases to 4 times  PO must have doubled.
2

So, PO in experiment 4 is 50.

3. The mechanism for the production of nitrosyl bromide, NOBr, from nitrogen monoxide and
bromine is thought to be as follows.
NO + Br2 ⇌ NOBr2 (fast)
NOBr2 + NO ⟶ 2NOBr (slow)
Which of the following rate equations is consistent with the mechanism?
From the slow step, rate = k’ [NOBr2] [NO].
However, NOBr2 is an intermediate, so should not be in the final rate equation.
From the fast step, [NOBr2]  [NO][Br2]
Hence, rate = k’ [NOBr2] [NO]
= k [NO][Br] [NO]
= k [NO]2 [Br]

A rate = k [NOBr2] [NO]


B rate = k [NO] [Br2]
C rate = k [NO]2 [Br2]
D rate = k [NO] [Br2]2
( C )

4. Which of the following statements is true about the energy profile below?

Energy F

E4
E3

reactants E1
X

H
E2
products

Extent of reaction
A F is the intermediate formed.
X is the intermediate, not F. F is the activated complex in the transition
state.
B The enthalpy change of the reaction is E3 – E2.
True. H is the difference in energy of the reactants and products. Since
the products has a lower energy, H < 0 (exothermic reaction).
C The first step is the slow step in the mechanism.
Ea for step 1 is E1. Ea for step 2 is E4. E4 > E1  step 2 is the slow step.
D E2 corresponds to the activation energy for the reaction in the second step.
Should be E4. E2 is the Ea of the first step of the reverse reaction.

temperature.

 shaded area is
greater at T2 0 E1 energy E2

As the temperature increases, which statements are correct?

1 The maximum of the curve is displaced to the right.


True. As T, the average kinetic energies of the molecules increases.
(See curve at T2)  As the area under the curve is constant, the maximum is
displaced downward and to the right.

2 The proportion of molecules with energies above any given value increases.
True. e.g. E1 or E2, the area under the curve to the right for T2 curve is
always larger than the area under the curve to the right for T1 curve.

3 The proportion of molecules with any given energy increases.


False. e.g. proportion of molecules with energy E1 is lower at T2 than at T1.
(See red dots on the curve)

A Only 1 is correct.
B 1 and 2 are correct.
C 2 and 3 are correct.
D 1, 2 and 3 are correct.
