Sample 1 · Thermochemistry (energetics)

The solubility of ionic compounds depends on 1 the strength of the electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions 2 hydration energy 3 the sizes of the ions

  1. 1, 2 and 3 are all correct
  2. 1 and 2 only are correct
  3. 2 and 3 only are correct
  4. 3 only is correct
Sample 2 · Transition metals

Solutions of transition metal ions are coloured because

  1. The ions have variable oxidation states
  2. The energy difference between 3d and 4s orbitals is very close
  3. The ions form complexes with different ligands
  4. The ions have unpaired d-electrons which absorbs and emit light within the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum
Sample 3 · Alcohols, phenols and ethers

The product(s) of the reaction of phenol with dilute nitric acid at RTP is (are): 1. 3-nitrophenol 2. 2-nitrophenol 3. 4-nitrophenol
