1.6 Aluminium carbide, Al4C3, reacts readily with aqueous sodium hydroxide. The two products of the reaction are NaAlO2 and a hydrocarbon. Water molecules are also involved as reactants. What is the formula of the hydrocarbon?   (1)   A CH4 B C2H6 C C3H8 D C6H12  

1.27 How many isomeric esters, including structural isomers and stereoisomers, can be made with the molecular formula C5H10O2, if methanoic acid is one of the two reactants used? (1)

1.30 In this question, all gases can be assumed to behave ideally. A chemist heats a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen gases in a sealed container at a constant temperature until the mixture reaches a dynamic equilibrium containing N2(g), O2(g) and NO(g). N2(g) + O2(g) 2NO(g) The chemist repeats the experiment at the same temperature using the same initial amounts of N2(g) and O2(g), but at a much higher pressure. Which statements about the second experiment at higher pressure are correct? (1)   1 At higher pressure, there are more particles per unit volume. 2 The composition of the equilibrium mixture does not change. 3 There are more collisions per second, so equilibrium is reached faster.
