Question 1 / 5

AQA Jan 2011 Paper 5 Q3 do not write outside the box there is a link between the properties of the oxides of the period elements and their structure and bonding the table below shows the melting points of the oxides of some period elements tm k na o sio p o a in terms of crystal structure and bonding explain in each case why the melting points of sodium oxide and silicon dioxide are high na o sio marks b predict whether the melting point of lithium oxide is higher than the same as or lower than the melting point of sodium oxide and explain your prediction prediction explanation marks c phosphorus v oxide has a lower melting point than sodium oxide c i state the structure of and bonding in phosphorus v oxide marks wmp jan chem do not write outside the box c ii explain why the melting point of phosphorus v oxide is low mark d separate samples of phosphorus v oxide and sodium oxide were reacted with water in each case predict the ph of the solution formed and write an equation for the reaction ph with p o equation ph with na o equation marks e write an equation for the reaction between na o and p o state the general type of reaction illustrated by this example equation reaction type marks turn over for the next question turn over wmp jan chem there are no questions printed on this page do not write on this page answer in the spaces provided wmp jan chem

Question 3 / 5

AQA Jun 2012 Paper 5 Q1 section a answer all questions in the spaces provided do not write outside the box white phosphorus p is a hazardous form of the element it is stored under water a suggest why white phosphorus is stored under water mark b phosphorus v oxide is known as phosphorus pentoxide suggest why it is usually represented by p o rather than by p o mark c explain why phosphorus v oxide has a higher melting point than sulfur vi oxide marks d write an equation for the reaction of p o with water to form phosphoric v acid give the approximate ph of the final solution equation ph marks wmp jun chem do not write outside the box e a waste water tank was contaminated by p o the resulting phosphoric v acid solution was neutralised using an excess of magnesium oxide the mixture produced was then disposed of in a lake e i write an equation for the reaction between phosphoric v acid and magnesium oxide mark e ii explain why an excess of magnesium oxide can be used for this neutralisation mark e iii explain why the use of an excess of sodium hydroxide to neutralise the phosphoric v acid solution might lead to environmental problems in the lake mark turn over for the next question turn over wmp jun chem

Question 4 / 5

AQA Jun 2013 Paper 5 Q4 do not write outside the box a magnesium oxide silicon dioxide and phosphorus v oxide are white solids but each oxide has a different type of structure and bonding state the type of bonding in magnesium oxide outline a simple experiment to demonstrate that magnesium oxide has this type of bonding type of bonding experiment marks b by reference to the structure of and the bonding in silicon dioxide suggest why it is insoluble in water marks wmp jun chem do not write outside the box c state how the melting point of phosphorus v oxide compares with that of silicon dioxide explain your answer in terms of the structure of and the bonding in phosphorus v oxide melting point in comparison to silicon dioxide explanation marks d magnesium oxide is classified as a basic oxide write an equation for a reaction that shows magnesium oxide acting as a base with another reagent marks e phosphorus v oxide is classified as an acidic oxide write an equation for its reaction with sodium hydroxide mark turn over wmp jun chem
