HCl is covalent and dissolves in1 methylbenzene but does not ionise. Addition of water causes HCl to ionise H+ ions
½formed react with carbonate to produce carbon (iv) oxide gas.

2 marks
(a) B –Calcium hydroxide
(b) To prevent the water form ‘’sucking back’’ into the flask by providing a large surface area for absorption.
(c) A little of the dissolved gas combine with water to form ions
the solutions. It’s alkaline properties.

Boiling point increases from fluorine to Bromine.1This is because the strength of Van der Waals forces increase with molecules size from fluorine to Bromine.

(a) Graham’s Law:
Under the same conditions of temperature and pressure, the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its density
b)

Si=2.8.4 Cl=2.8.7
3 marks
a)
(b) It sublimes.1
(c) To prevent the moisture from entering the flask since 3 FeCl3 is deliquescent.
3 marks
(ii) At point W the alkali is fully dissociated.½ As the acid is added, the hydroxyl ions are neutralised by the hydrogen ions from the acid forming water. The conductivity of the solution decreases
½ as more
OH are removed from the solution. At point X all the hydroxyl ions have been removed and the solution is neutral.
½The conductivity is not zero because of the presence of sodium and sulphate ions. Conductivity starts increasing due to accumulation of the hydrogen ions in the solution.
