Section A
RMM = 3.67 x 12 = 44.0 (Can be CO2 ; CH3CH2CH3) and show weak peak at 28 ; which may be due to CO+ ;
1. D
two possible peaks are CO+ and CO2+ ; however it may not have the highest peak intensity but it the last peak
Since line spectrum is single e- system, so He+ gives the same spectrum ; f = h x c x 1/ @
2. A 3.291 x 1015 = (6.63 x 10-34 x 3.0 x 108 x 1.097 x 107 x 1/n2 x 1/2(or 0) ; n = 1 therefore lies in Lyman series
which produced in UV region ; line  is from n = 3 to n = 1 ; and 2.466 x 1015 is the 1st line of series
An atom with 6 full filled and 2 half-filled electron ; hence may be 1s22s22p63s23p2 ; hence has 4 valence
3. D
electrons ; hence a Group 14 ; which form charge of +4 ; and obey Aufbau, Pauli and Hund’s rule

4. C

Graphite is sp2 hybridised carbon atom. Its suitable to be a lubricant due to the slippery feels of the layered
5. B
hexagonal structure which are hold by weak Van Der Waals’ forces
Cu has higher melting point than K due to more valance electrons from 3d and 4s hence can delocalised more
6. A
electrons and results a greater metallic bond.
For N2 ; P1V1 = P2Vtot ; (200)(6) = P2(6+4) ; P2 = 120kPa ; for H2 ; P1V1 = P2Vtot ; (500)(4) = P2(6+4) ; P2 =
7. D 200kPa ; Ptot = 320 kPa ; No reaction occur during reaction ; Volume of N2 remain the same while number of
H2 particles remain the same.
 Only CO2 and I2 sublime at room condition due to triple point is higher than atmospheric pressure ; hence the
8. D
mleting point curve is above the triple point

9. C Rate = ; Therefore the best rate is equal to
Order of reaction of X and Y are 1st order and zero order respectively ; rate constant = 5.0 x 10-3 / 0.10 = 0.05.
10. A
Overall Order of reaction is 1st order hence [X] will not influence half life.
11. D Based on rate equation ; its 1st order of S and 0 order of T.
Adding catalyst will only increase the rate constant for both forward and backward reaction but no effect on
12. A
equilibrium constant hence no effect on [SO3]
2 NO2  2 NO O2 ntot = 2.4 + 1.6 + 0.8 = 4.8 mol Kp = PNO2 x PO2
