SECTION A
1. (a) One method of preparing ethyl ethanoate (boiling temperature 77 o C) includes the
following steps:
• ethanoic acid and ethanol are heated under reflux for about 40 minutes in the
presence of a little concentrated sulphuric acid;
• the reaction mixture is then distilled, everything boiling below 85ºC being
collected;
• the organic product is redistilled, the liquid boiling between 76ºC and 80ºC being
collected.
Give the reasons for each of these procedures. Include in your answer a diagram of
the apparatus for heating under reflux.
(8)
(b) Ethyl ethanoate can also be prepared using the reaction of ethanol with ethanoyl
chloride. Suggest with reasons two advantages and one disadvantage of using this
method compared to the method in (a).

2. (a) The covalent compound urea, (NH2 )2 C=O, is commonly used as fertiliser in most of the
European Union whereas in the UK the most popular fertiliser is ionic ammonium
nitrate, NH4 NO3 . Apart from the nitrogen content, suggest two advantages of using urea
as a fertiliser compared with using ammonium nitrate.
(2)
(b) The ammonium ion in water has an acid dissociation constant, Ka = 5.62 x 10-10 mol
dm-3. The conjugate acid of urea has Ka = 0.66 mol dm-3. Use this data to explain which
of ammonia or urea is the stronger base.
(2)
(c) Ethanamide, CH3 CONH2 , can be converted into methylamine, CH3 NH2 .
(i) State the reagents and conditions for carrying out the conversion.
(3)
(ii) Suggest the formula of the likely product if urea were used instead of
ethanamide in this conversion.

(d) With gentle heating ammonium nitrate volatilises reversibly.
(i) State why the expression for Kp for the reversible change does not include
ammonium nitrate.

(ii) 8.00 g of ammonium nitrate was gently heated in a sealed vessel until
equilibrium was reached. The equilibrium constant was found to be 15.7 atm2
under these conditions. Calculate the partial pressure of ammonia present at
equilibrium and, hence, the percentage of the ammonium nitrate which has
dissociated.
(One mole of gas under these conditions exerts a pressure of 50 atm).

Question 4
Leave
blank
Planning an experiment to find the relative molecular mass of a Group 1
hydrogencarbonate.
When a solid group 1 hydrogencarbonate reacts with dilute, aqueous sulphuric acid carbon
dioxide is evolved.
You are required to plan an experiment using the apparatus shown below, the results of
which may be used to calculate the relative molecular mass of the hydrogencarbonate and
identify M. Assume that you are provided with a sample of the hydrogencarbonate and a
volume of acid (an excess); these will react to give a volume of carbon dioxide slighty less
than the capacity of the gas syringe.
You will need to make use of the fact that at the temperature of the experiment 1 mole of
carbon dioxide occupies a volume of 24.0 dm3 .
(Relative atomic mass: H=1, Li=7, C=12, O=16, Na=23, K=39, Rb=85, Cs=133.)

carefully smell any gas evolved. Carry out a simple test to confirm the identity of the
gas.

Question 3
If the product of the reaction that takes place in question 2 (b) (iv) is purified it may be
used to obtain information that would allow you to decide if B has either one of the
structures which you have drawn in (vi).
Devise an experimental procedure by which you could obtain this information. In your
answer, give the names of any practical techniques and materials that you plan to use.
Outline your planned procedure including any references to safety considerations involved
in the technique and the materials you will use. Explain how you would use the
information you obtain in an attempt to identify B.

Question 4
In this part of the exercise you are to measure the boiling temperature of a liquid
C and use the data to identify C.
Sealed tube
Capillary tube
Ignition tube
Rubber ring
Oil
Stirrer
Gauze
Tripod
HEAT
Place liquid C in one of the clean dry ignition tubes to a depth of between 0.5 and
1.0 cm. Fix the tube to the side of the thermometer, with the liquid next to the
bulb, using one of the rubber rings. Clamp the thermometer with the bulb in the
oil as shown in the diagram above. Add a new capillary tube, sealed at one end, to
the liquid in the ignition tube with the open end below the surface.
As the oil is heated and the temperature of the liquid is raised, air in the capillary
tube expands and small bubbles slowly issue from the open end of the capillary
tube: when the liquid boils the stream of bubbles is rapid and continuous.
Heat the oil bath to about 70 ºC, then, whilst stirring, raise the temperature of the
oil by about 3 ºC per minute until the liquid in the ignition tube starts to boil. Stop
heating immediately and record the temperature of the oil in the results table
below. Continue to stir the oil as it cools and, as soon as bubbles cease to issue
from the capillary tube, record the temperature in the results table. The second
temperature is usually a more reliable figure for the boiling temperature than the
first one.

(b) Carry out the tests listed below on the organic compound B, C9H8O. B
has two functional groups.
Record the results of your tests in the Observations spaces. Under Inferences
record the functional group, by name or formula, the presence of which may be
suggested by your observations. You are not expected to attempt to identify B
in your Inferences.
(i) Using a dropping pipette transfer 10 drops of B to a crucible. Carefully ignite
the B.
Observations Inferences
smoky flame(1) benzene / aromatic (1)

(ii) To 1 cm3 of B, add 8 drops of an aqueous solution of potassium
manganate(VII) acidified with dilute sulphuric acid. Stopper and gently
shake the test tube.

General Guidance on Marking
Examiners should look for qualities to reward rather than faults to penalise. This does not
mean giving credit for incorrect or inadequate answers, but it does mean allowing
candidates to be rewarded for answers showing correct application of principles and
knowledge, and for critical and imaginative thinking. Examiners should therefore read
carefully and consider every response; even if it is not what is expected it may be worthy of
credit.
Marking
1. You must give a tick (in red) for every mark awarded. The tick must be placed on the
script close to the answer. The mark awarded for part of a question should be written
in the margin close to the sub-total.
2. The sub-total marks for a question should be added together and the total written and
ringed at the end of the question then transferred to the front of the script.
3. Suggestion/explanation questions should be marked correct even when the suggestion
is contained within the explanation.
4. Do not award marks for repetition of the stem of the question.
5. Make sure that the answer makes sense. Do not give credit for correct words/phrases
which are put together in a meaningless manner. (Quality of written Communication).
Answers must be in the correct context.
