(i) At very high pressures, the volume occupied by the gas molecules cannot be ignored because the volume of the gas is small and the molecules are closer together. (ii) At medium pressure : -negative deviation caused by stronger intermolecular forces of attraction since HCl is a bigger molecule than hydrogen. - HCl is a polar molecule; hence stronger intermolecular forces exist .

(i) 0 = 2(-127) + 2∆Hf (ClO2)- 2 (-25) ∆Hf (ClO2) = + 102 kJ mol-1
(ii) The enthalpy of formation of ClO2 is endothermic, hence ClO2 is unstable compared to chlorine and oxygen.

The minimum energy required to displace/remove one mole of electron from one mole of atom in the gaseous state (b) 1. atomic size increases 2. screening effect (shielding effect) increases (c) -Valence electron configuration: Mg: 3s2 ; Al: 3s23p1 - more energy is required to remove an electron from a fully occupied s-orbital than from a singly occupied p orbital. (d) -the small boron ion will distort the electron cloud of its neighbouring anions, giving a covalent characteristic to its compounds. - the big Ba2+ ion will not show much polarization; thus barium compounds are more ionic.

(i) Water molecule undergoes autoionisation. H2O <=== > H+ + OH- ΔH = Endothermic Ionic product of water, Kw = [H3O+ ] [OH-] = 1 x 10-14 mol2dm-6 at 250C When temperature increases, the position of equilibrium shifts to the right forming more H+ and OH- . Hence the value of Kw increases. 4marks Ca(s) EӨ = -2.87V (ii) Ca2+ (aq) + 2e The standard electrode potential of calcium is the potential difference obtained when the half cell of Ca/Ca2+(aq) is connected to a standard hydrogen electrode under standard conditions. 3marks
KNO3(s) + aq K+ (aq) + NO3- (aq) The forward reaction of dissolution of KNO3 is an endothermic 1m process as the temperature drops when it dissolves. The backward reaction of crystallization is an exothermic process. On cooling a saturated solution, heat is given off/ removed from the system. By Le Chatelier’s Principle, processes occur in the system to counteract the lost of heat by favouring the reaction that gives out heat. 1m Since the crystallization is an exothermic process, it is favoured and (2) crystals formed. Ca2+(aq) + SO42- (aq) CaSO4(s) When concentrated sodium sulphate solution is added to a saturated solution of calcium sulphate, concentration of sulphate ions increases. 1m By Le Chatelier’s Principle, processes occur in the system to
counteract this increase of sulphate ions by favouring the process that 1m decreases the concentration of sulphate ions. The equilibrium shifts to 1m the right to favour the precipitation reaction, a white precipitate of (3) calcium sulphate forms. (iii)

2NO2 (g) N2O4(g) Δ H –ve (brown) (colourless) Since cooling favours the exothermic reaction which gives out heat, 1m the forward reaction is exothermic. On compressing the gaseous mixture, total pressure in the system increases; By Le Chatelier’s Principle, the forward reaction that 1m produces less molecules of gas is favoured, the colour fades as the brown NO2 gas forms the colourless dimer. On warming, heat is supplied to the system. According to Le Chatelier, the process that absorbs heat is favoured. Since backward 1m process is endothermic, it is favourd. The brown colour is restored as colourless N2O4 dissociates to form brown NO2. (3) C(s)
