NUMBER 1
1A
A transmission element is a component that transfers data or energy from one point to another.
1bi. Element D-288 forms a doubly charged cation.
1bii. The soluble trioxocarbonate (IV) is CO32-.
1C.
The general decrease in the first ionization energies of the period in the periodic table is due to the increase in atomic radius and the decrease in effective nuclear charge.
1d.
-methane (CH4)
-propane (C3H8).
1e.
Alkanols are stronger bases than water because they have a higher tendency to donate a proton (H+) to an acid. This is because the alkyl group in alkanols is electron-donating, which increases the electron density on the oxygen atom in the hydroxyl group (-OH).
1f. The major raw materials used in the Solvay process are
-salt (NaCl)
-limestone (CaCO3)
-ammonia (NH3).
1g. Geometric isomerism is a type of stereoisomerism that arises when two or more compounds have the same molecular formula and connectivity, but differ in the spatial arrangement of their atoms due to restricted rotation around a double bond or ring.
1h. Water gas is a better fuel than producer gas because it has a higher calorific value and a higher percentage of hydrogen gas.
1hi. Heat of combustion is the amount of heat energy released when one mole of a substance undergoes complete combustion with oxygen under standard conditions.
1ji. Faraday’s second law of electrolysis states that the amount of substance produced at an electrode during electrolysis is directly proportional to the quantity of electricity passed through the electrolyte. It can be expressed mathematically as:
m = (Q * M) / (n * F)
1jii. To calculate the amount of silver deposited, we can use Faraday’s law of electrolysis, which states that:
m = (Q * M) / (n * F)
Plugging in the values, we get:
m = (10920 C * 107.87 g/mol) / (1 * 96500 C/mol)
m = 12.17 g
Therefore, the amount of silver deposited when 10920 coulombs of electricity is passed through a solution of a silver salt is 12.17 grams.
=====================================
NUMBER 4
a)
Step 1) Prepare a solution of calcium chloride: Dissolve calcium chloride (CaCl2) in water to create a calcium chloride solution. This step involves measuring the appropriate amount of calcium chloride and adding it to a container of distilled water while stirring until the compound is completely dissolved.
Step 2) Add a source of carbonate ions: Introduce a source of carbonate ions to the calcium chloride solution. This can be achieved by adding sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) or sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) to the solution. The carbonate ions from these compounds will react with the calcium ions in the solution, forming calcium carbonate.
Step 3) Precipitation of calcium carbonate: A white precipitate of calcium carbonate will form as a result of the reaction between the calcium ions and carbonate ions. The reaction can be written as follows:
Ca2+ (aq) + CO3^2- (aq) → CaCO3 (s)
The solid calcium carbonate will precipitate out of the solution.
Step 4) Filtration and washing: Use filtration to separate the solid calcium carbonate from the liquid solution. Set up a filter paper in a funnel and pour the mixture through it. The calcium carbonate will be retained on the filter paper while the liquid, containing any remaining calcium chloride and byproducts, passes through.
Step 5) Drying: After filtration, transfer the wet calcium carbonate onto a watch glass or a suitable container. Allow the solid to air dry or use gentle heat to remove any remaining moisture. The resulting dry solid is calcium trioxocarbonate (IV), commonly known as calcium carbonate.

TAKE NOTE
For question 1
Use your school’s endpoint and use it wherever you see our endpoint (13.20cm³) …and calculate with it.
Use the answer you got in 1b(i) to solve in 1b(ii) i.e we got 0.0396 in 1bi after calculating with our average titre (endpoint) value 0.0396, as u can see, we then used the 0.0396 in 1bii which we got from our calculation in 1bi.
NB: If you use our endpoint and your school teacher submits a different one with a wide margin to what u used, you will either fail or lose some mark in this particular question. Your school teacher should have in one way given you the average titre value(endpoint) or you might have gotten it in the lab from your past experiment.
If your school wants to use mine, then the chemistry teacher must submit endpoint similar to ours without much difference…eg 13.10, 13.20, 13.30, etc
