Question 2 / 5

AQA Jun 2012 Paper 4 Q3 do not write outside the box a this question is about several br nsted lowry acids and bases define the term br nsted lowry acid mark b three equilibria are shown below for each reaction indicate whether the substance immediately above the box is acting as a br nsted lowry acid a or a br nsted lowry base b by writing a or b in each of the six boxes b i ch cooh h o ch coo h o b ii ch nh h o ch nh oh b iii hno h so h no hso mark mark mark c a cm sample of mol dm hydrochloric acid was placed in a beaker distilled water was added until the ph of the solution was calculate the total volume of the solution formed state the units marks extra space question continues on the next page turn over wmp jun chem do not write outside the box d at k the value of the acid dissociation constant ka for the weak acid hx in aqueous solution is mol dm d i calculate the value of pka for hx at this temperature give your answer to decimal places mark d ii write an expression for the acid dissociation constant ka for the weak acid hx mark d iii calculate the ph of a mol dm solution of hx at this temperature give your answer to decimal places marks extra space wmp jun chem do not write outside the box e an acidic buffer solution is formed when cm of mol dm aqueous sodium hydroxide are added to cm of mol dm aqueous hx the value of ka for the weak acid hx is mol dm calculate the ph of this buffer solution at k give your answer to decimal places marks extra space turn over wmp jun chem

Question 3 / 5

AQA Jun 2013 Paper 4 Q3 do not write outside the box a this question is about br nsted lowry acids of different strengths state the meaning of the term br nsted lowry acid mark b i write an expression for the acid dissociation constant ka for ethanoic acid mark b ii the value of ka for ethanoic acid is mol dm at c calculate the concentration of ethanoic acid in a solution of the acid that has a ph of marks c the value of ka for chloroethanoic acid clch cooh is mol dm at c c i write an equation for the dissociation of chloroethanoic acid in aqueous solution mark c ii suggest why chloroethanoic acid is a stronger acid than ethanoic acid marks wmp jun chem d p and q are acids x and y are bases the table shows the strength of each acid and base do not write outside the box acids bases strong weak strong weak the two acids were titrated separately with the two bases using methyl orange as indicator the titrations were then repeated using phenolphthalein as indicator the ph range for methyl orange is the ph range for phenolphthalein is for each of the following titrations select the letter a b c or d for the correct statement about the indicator s that would give a precise end point write your answer in the box provided both indicators give a precise end point only methyl orange gives a precise end point only phenolphthalein gives a precise end point neither indicator gives a precise end point d i acid p with base x d ii acid q with base x d iii acid q with base y question continues on the next page mark mark mark turn over wmp jun chem do not write outside the box using a burette cm of mol dm sulfuric acid were added to a conical flask containing cm of mol dm aqueous sodium hydroxide assume that the sulfuric acid is fully dissociated calculate the ph of the solution formed give your answer to decimal places e marks extra space wmp jun chem
