Paper 1 Inorganic and Physical Chemistry

Do not write outside the Answer all questions in the spaces provided.^ box

(^0 1) This question is about atomic structure.

(^0 1). 1 In 1897 JJ Thomson discovered the electron. He suggested that atoms were positively charged spheres with electrons embedded within them.

Figure 1 represents an atom using Thomson’s model.

Figure 1

Suggest the identity of this atom.

Give two differences between the modern model of an atom and the Thomson model of an atom. [ 3 marks]

Do not write outside the 0 1. (^4) In the TOF mass spectrometer an ion of an isotope of tellurium, with mass number y ,^ box travels along a 1.25 m flight tube with a kinetic energy of 1.88 x 10 –12^ J

The ion takes 3.00 x 10–7^ s to reach the detector.

KE =

1 2 mv

KE = kinetic energy / J m = mass / kg v = speed / m s–

Calculate the mass, in g, of 1 mole of these tellurium ions.

Use your answer to suggest the mass number y of the tellurium isotope.

The Avogadro constant, L = 6.022 × 10^23 mol– [ 5 marks]

Do not write outside the (^0 2) This question is about an experiment to determine the solubility of strontium hydroxide^ box in water at 20 °C

Strontium hydroxide is slightly soluble in water. Strontium hydroxide solution reacts in a similar way to calcium hydroxide solution.

  • Some solid strontium hydroxide is added to approximately 1 dm 3 of distilled water in a stoppered flask.
  • The mixture is kept at 20 °C. Every day, the mixture is checked. If no solid is present in the flask, more solid strontium hydroxide is added.
  • On the day when no more solid needs to be added, the flask is opened and the mixture is filtered into another flask and stoppered.
  • A 25.0 cm 3 sample of the filtrate is transferred to a conical flask with a pipette and a few drops of indicator added.
  • This sample is titrated with 0.100 mol dm –3^ hydrochloric acid.
  • The titration is repeated several times with further samples of the filtrate. The results are shown in Table 1 on page 8.

(^0 2). 1 Suggest why the solution is kept until no more solid needs to be added. [1 mark]

0 2. (^2) Suggest why it is important to remove the undissolved strontium hydroxide before the titration. [1 mark]

(^0 2). 3 After the filtration, the solution is stored in a stoppered flask.

Suggest a reason for stoppering the flask. [1 mark]
