UME 1982 CHEMISTRY ANSWERS
1.     Volume of H = 20cm3
Total volume of the mixture = (20 +35 + 15 + 10) = 80cm3
Volume fraction of H =  = 0.25
Since mole is  volume : mole fraction = 0.25 [D]

Empirical formula = CH2
56cm3 of CH2 = 0.07g
22400cm3 of CH2 =   ×  = 28g
            (CH2)n = 28
            14n = 28

4.     At boiling point, water changes into vapour due to increase in the average kinetic energy of the molecules. As the kinetic energy of the molecules increases, they collide more frequently with each other and with the continuity leading to increase in pressure [E].
5.     The type of bond between (NH3) in ammonia molecule is covalent bond. Ammonium ion (NH4+) formed when H combines with ammonium via co-ordinate bond. The bond between ammonium ion and chlorine in ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) is ionic bond [C]

Volume of residual gas = vol of steam formed + volume of unreacted H2 = (40 + 20) = 60cm3 [A]
22.  Equation for the reaction:
CaO + CaCO3 2CaO +CO2
From the equation, the CO2 was produced by CaCO3.
44g of CO2 was produced by 100g of CaCO3

27.  Nitrogen obtained from atmospheric air contains rare gases which cannot be removed due to their invert nature. This adds to the density of nitrogen making it denser than that prepared from nitrogen containing compound [D]
28.  5 components of air include oxygen, nitrogen, carbon(IV)oxide, rare gases and water vapour. When passed through alkaline pyrogallol, carbon(IV)oxide and Oxygen are absorbed. When passed through quick lime, water vapour is absorbed. The only gases left are nitrogen and rare gases [D]
29.  Since the crystals of KClO3 began to form at 66oc, this is the saturation point. Mass of KClO3 that saturated 40cm3 of water = 9.8g
Mass of KClO3 that will saturate 1dm3 of water =  ×  = 245g
Molecular mass of KClO3 = 122.5g
Solubility  = 2mol/dm3         [E]
30.  Equation for the reaction
2H2 + O2  2H2
From the above equation, mole ratio of hydrogen to oxygen is 2:1.
Since volume  mole, volume ratio of hydrogen to oxygen = 2:1
Thus, 50cm3 of hydrogen will react with 25cm3 of oxygen
Volume of unreacted oxygen = (100 - 25) = 75cm3
Volume of steam formed = 50cm3
The steam formed was absorbed by the deliquescent CaCl2
Hence, volume of gas left = 75cm3 [D]

31.           An acid is said to be weak if it is partially or incompletely ionized or dissociated in water
                                                        [E]                                                                                                                           
32.  Cations present in caustic soda (NaOH) solution = Na+ and H+
Anion present = OH-
During electrolysis, the cations Na+ and H+ migrate towards the cathode where H+ is preferentially discharged due to its higher concentration and lower position in the electrochemical series than Na. The sodium ion which is still in solution close to the cathode associates with OH- causing increased alkalinity at the cathode [E]
33.  Amphoteric oxides are oxides of metals that react with both acid and base to form salts eg. oxides of (ZALT): zinc, aluminum, lead and tin.                                                      [D]

Mass of X that crystallized out
 = 0.1 x 160 = 16g   [D]
35.  Ethyne is a colourless and neutral gas that burns with a sooty (smoky) flame and is prepared by the action of cold water on white solid called calcium carbide: CaC2 + 2H2O  C2H2 + Ca(OH)2     [C]

36.  Cellulose is an unbranched polysaccharide which exists in its pure form as cotton wool. Other cellulose containing compounds are flax, sisal, straw, jute hemp, etc   [D]

37.  Addition reaction is undergone by unsaturated organic compounds with double or triple bonds eg. Alkene and alkyne. The compound C2H4 belongs to the homologous series – alkene. Thus, it undergoes addition reaction with hydrogen, halogens and hydrogen halides                                                [C]

38.  Sulphur(IV)oxide is a reducing agent but it acts as an oxidizing agent in the presence of a more powerful reducing agent like hydrogen sulphide. It oxidizes hydrogen sulphide to sulphur                                               [D]

39.  Cations present in NaCl solution are: Na+ and H+
Anions present = Cl- and OH-. During electrolysis, Na+ and H+ migrate towards the cathode where H+ is preferentially discharged [C]

40.  The phenomenon whereby a crystalline salt loses its water of crystallization on exposure to a dry atmosphere is called efflorescence. Examples of efflorescent compounds are washing soda (Na2CO3.10H2O), Glauber’s salt (Na2SO4.10H2O)                       [D]

41.  Magnesium and other metals such as aluminum, zinc, iron, lead and copper do not react with cold water but with steam at red hot.                                                   [B]

42.  The bond between ammonia and hydrogen ion in ammonia ion is called coordinate (dative) covalent bond whereby the shared electron are donated by ammonia molecule [B]

43.  Ethyl ethanoate is an ester formed from the reaction of ethanoic acid and ethanol
CH3COOH + C2H5OH  CH3COOC2H5 + H2O [D]

44.  Petroleum is a mixture of hydrocarbons which when separated by fractional distillation yield its constituent fractions of hydrocarbon such as alkane, alkene cycloalkanes, aromatic hydrocarbons, etc. hydrogen is not a hydrocarbon                                  [E]
45.  In the equation of chemical equilibrium, the reactants and the products are gaseous but the mole ratio of the reactants and products are the same. Thus, pressure will have no effect.                                              [E]
46.  In a chemical equilibrium, some of the ways of increasing the yield of the product is to supply more of the reactants or remove the products formed. Thus, if D which is one of the products is continuously removed, more of it will be formed to keep the system in equilibrium.                                     [E]
47.  Mass of the metal and oxygen  = 1g
Mass of the metal = 0.8
Proportion of the metal in the metallic oxide
=  = 0.0125
Mass of oxygen = (1 – 0.8) = 0.2
Proportion of oxygen =   = 0.0125
Mole Ratio X and O = 0.0125 : 0.0125 = 1 : 1
Formula of the oxide = XO [B]
48.  Silver trioxonitrate undergoes a double decomposition reaction with hydrogen sulphide to form a black precipitate of silver sulphide
AgNO3 + H2S Ag2S + 2HNO3 [B]
49.  Since the formation of ammonia is an exothermic reaction (- H), a decrease in temperature will favour the reaction. Since the number of mole of the product is less than the number of mole of the reactant, the reaction involves a decrease in volume and thus will be favoured by increase in pressure [D]
Due to the presence of the single bond, the compound belongs to the homologous series- alkane (ane). The longest carbon chain contains 4 C-atoms (but). The branches are methyl group at C-2 (2-methyl) and chlorine at C-2 (2-chloro).
