49 A Carbon monoxide combines with haemoglobin much more strongly than oxygen does. When carbon
monoxide enters the blood, haemoglobin is used up in the combination with carbon monoxide. The
blood can no longer carry sufficient oxygen to various parts of the body. The person thus feels dizzy.
50 A

53 C
54 A Option C — Air pollutants such as oxides of sulphur and nitrogen react with rainwater to form acids,
lowering the pH value of rainwater. This gives rise to acid rain.

57 C A tall chimney cannot reduce the emission of pollutants.
58 A Oxides of nitrogen react with carbon monoxide as they pass through the catalyst in a catalytic
converter. Nitrogen and carbon dioxide are formed.

114 a) There was insufficient oxygen for the fuel to burn completely. Carbon monoxide formed due to incomplete
combustion of fuel. (1)
Carbon monoxide is a very poisonous gas. (1)
b) A heptadecane molecule has a larger molecular mass / size (or a greater number of electrons) than a
heptane molecule. (1)
Therefore heptadecane has stronger van der Waals’ forces than heptane. (1)
Also heptadecane molecules in the form of long chains can become entangled. Hence the relative motion
between the molecules will be hindered. (1)
Therefore heptadecane is more viscous than heptane.
c) There are strong hydrogen bonds between water molecules. (1)
The weak attractions between molecules of alkanes and water are not strong enough to overcome the
strong attractions between water molecules. (1)
d) The shape of a heptane molecule is longer and more spread-out than that of a 2-methylhexane
molecule. (1)
The shape of heptane molecule allows greater surface contact between molecules. (1)
Thus the van der Waals’ forces in heptane are stronger than those in 2-methylhexane. (1)
Stronger van der Waals’ forces in heptane pull the molecules closer together.
Hence the density of heptane is higher than that of 2-methylhexane.

However, burning fossil fuels causes global warming and serious air pollution problems.
Any three of the following:
Fossil fuel combustion produces carbon dioxide, a major greenhouse gas. Too much carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere can cause global warming. (1)
Most of the carbon monoxide in the air comes from the exhaust gas of cars, trucks and buses. Carbon
monoxide is a very poisonous gas. (1)
Not all the petrol in car engines gets burnt. Some unburnt hydrocarbons escape in the car exhaust gas.
Unburnt hydrocarbons give photochemical smog with oxides of nitrogen. (1)
Inside car engines, the air gets so hot that nitrogen and oxygen react together, forming oxides of nitrogen.
Oxides of nitrogen can cause the formation of acid rain. (1)
Incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons produce suspended particulates. These particulates can reduce
visibility. (1)

fuels are burnt, they give off sulphur dioxide to the air. (1)

153 Chemists balance the supply and demand of petrol by turning the surplus fractions (like fuel oil and lubricating
oil) into petrol. (1)
High-boiling fractions contain molecules larger than those in petrol. Chemists break the large molecules into
smaller ones by a process called cracking. (1)
During the cracking process, alkanes with large molecules are heated in the absence of air to a high
temperature. (1)
The alkane molecules move and vibrate faster. The molecules collide with one another with greater energy
as the temperature increases. Eventually the large alkane molecules have so much energy that they begin to
break up into small molecules. (1)
Alkanes with small molecules can be used as petrol. (1)
In an oil refinery, a catalyst is used to increase the rate of the cracking reaction. The method is called catalytic
cracking. (1)
