KCSE CLUSTER TESTS 23

Chemistry Paper 2

1.

a) i J2M √1

ii) K is more√1 reactive than N because K has smaller nuclear√1 attraction than N/0 N is less reactive than K. N has large nuclear attraction than K. 2

iii) K has larger√1 atomic size than O. Electron to proton repulsion is lesser in K than in O. K has smaller nuclear attraction than O. 2

b) Ionic.√½ ½

c) i) Decrease in reactivity due to difficulty to loss outer electrons.√1 1

ii) Increase in reactivity due to ease to gain electrons.√1

II R - Ionic bond√½ ½

U - Covalent bond√½ ½

III i) The Chloride of U forms a simple molecular structure√1 with lower melting point while its Oxide forms a giant atomic structure√1 with higher melting point. 2

ii) Chloride of T sublimes.√1

A)i) Grey solid turns to green. Iron is oxidized by hydrogen chloride gas to iron II chloride which is green.√ 2

ii) Iron III Chloride√ (accept correct formular)/ FeCl3 1

iii) It sublimes √1 and hydrolyses in the presence of water.(any one property 1 mark) 1

iv) To keep solid R dry.√1 1

v) Manganese IV Oxide and concentrated hydrochloric acid √1 (both must be correct.1

vi) It would form and then hydrolyse to a solution containing hydrochloric acid. Hence not collected as a sublimate. 1

vii) A part from drying √½ the gas it also absorbs √½ excess chlorine gas which is poisonous if left to escape. 1 B)
