H 2O is reduced to H2 because the oxidation state of H has decreased from +1 in H2O to 0 in H2 Gain and loss of electrons not accepted for H 2O because it is a covalent compound 1 1 A3 (a) + - 2m for correct structure Deduct ½ if no symbols if charge is 1+/1- (b) Sodium hydride can conduct electricity in the aqueous and molten state but not in the solid state In the solid state, the ions are held in fixed positions by strong electrostatic forces of attraction and cannot move but in the aqueous or molten state, the electrostatic forces are broken and the ions are free to move. 1 1 1 Naa H

(b) Addition polymerisationNOTE:Additional polymerisation not accepted

1

(c) When burnt, incomplete combustion of the polymersproduces carbon monoxide and can cause air pollutionWhen buried in landfills, the non-biodegradablepolymers do not decompose and can cause landpollution

SECTION BB9 (a) Oxygen 1(b) Gold and silver are unreactive metals 1(c) Although aluminium is more abundant than iron, it costs

more to produce aluminium.This is because production of aluminium requireselectrolysis which is a very expensive process however,the production of iron involves reduction with coke whichis a cheaper process.

NOTE : Reason must show comparison between iron andaluminium

1

1

(d) Both copper and tin are scarce so the cost of production is higher.

(e) Oil, gas and coal are finite and will be used up in time.Burning oil, gas and coal produces carbon dioxide whichcontributes to global warming

11

(f) HydrogenAdvantage: No pollutionDisadvantage: In gaseous state which makes it difficult tostore.

Ethanol (biomass):Advantage: RenewableDisadvantage: produces carbon dioxide which leads toglobal warming
