SECTION A
01
A sample of hydrated K 2SO4 (K2SO4.𝑥H2O) with a mass of 2.458 g was
heated to remove all water of crystallisation. The solid remaining had a
mass of 1.515 g.
(The molar mass of the remaining solid was 174.26 gmol-1)
01.1 Determine a possible formula of the hydrated potassium salt.
Your answer must show relevant working.
[3 marks]
01.2 Suggest how a student doing this experiment could check that all
water had been removed.
[1 mark]
01.3 The entropy change of hydration of K2SO4 is + 225 JK-1mol-1
i) Suggest in terms of the states of the particles involved, why this
entropy change is positive.
[1 mark]
ii) Explain why K2SO4 dissolves in water at 25°C, despite the
enthalpy change of solution being endothermic.
ΔH = +24 kJmol-1

A student wants to investigate the kinetics of the reaction between
hydrogen peroxide and iodide ions in the presence of sulfuric acid.
Rate = [H2O2]x[I-]y
02.1 Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction between
hydrogen peroxide and iodide ions.
[Include state symbols]
[2 marks]
02.2 The concentration of hydrogen peroxide is measure at different time
intervals while keeping the concentration of iodide and H+ ions
constant. The student could obtain the following results.
