QUESTION 7 During a demonstration to illustrate the difference between a chemical and a physical change, the following experiments are performed: Experiment A: Sugar is dissolved in boiling water. Experiment B: Sugar is heated on the stove until a brown syrup is formed.
7.1 Classify each of the changes during the above experiments as a physical or a
chemical change. (2)
7.2 Give ONE reason for your answers to QUESTION 7.1. (2) 7.3
In the northern Kalahari the most commonly used poison for the arrows of the San was made from the larva and pupae of chrysomelid beetles. The contents of the larvae/pupae were squeezed directly on to the arrows. The arrows were then dried over a fire. Is this an example of a chemical or a physical change?

QUESTION 8 The reaction of metals with oxygen, such as the rusting of iron, is an undesirable chemical reaction. Annually a lot of money is spent to protect steel structures from rusting. Rust is iron(III) oxide, formed when iron reacts with oxygen in the air. Besides oxygen, moisture is necessary for the rusting process.
8.1 Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction of iron with oxygen to
form iron(III) oxide. (3) 8.2 Classify the reaction in QUESTION 8.1 as a synthesis or a decomposition
reaction. (2) 8.3 Use relative atomic masses and calculate the mass of the reactants and the
products in QUESTION 8.1. Write down an observation on these masses. (4) 8.4 Name the law illustrated in QUESTION 8.3. (2) 8.5 Although South Africa is rich in iron ore, we still have to protect products
made from iron against rust. The available resources will not last for ever and if not protected, we might find ourselves back in the Stone Age in future. Suggest TWO ways in which we can protect iron products from rusting.

QUESTION 9 Food production for a growing world population depends heavily on fertilisers. Nitric acid is used for the production of ammonium nitrate, a fertiliser with a high nitrogen content. Word equations for three reactions during the industrial preparation of nitric acid are given below. Write balanced chemical equations for each of these reactions.
9.1 ammonia + oxygen nitrogen monoxide + water (3) 9.2 nitrogen monoxide + oxygen nitrogen(IV) oxide (3) 9.3 nitrogen(IV) oxide + oxygen + water nitric acid (3)
[9] QUESTION 10 Between 1928 and 1937 hydrogen-filled airships were used to transport people between Europe and New York. When the Hindenburg docked at Lakehurst in the USA, in May 1937, the hydrogen in its balloon burst into flames, engulfing the airship in fire and killing 35 of the 97 people on board. The Hindenburg disaster put an end to the use of hydrogen in air travel. Hydrogen on its own will not explode. Even a mixture of hydrogen with air or pure oxygen gives no reaction. However, when this mixture is ignited a fast reaction takes place during which water is produced.
2H2(g) +O2(g) 2H2O(g)
10.1 What is represented by the (g) in the above chemical equation? (2) 10.2 Is the reaction of hydrogen with oxygen exothermic or endothermic? Motivate
your answer with information from the passage. (3)
10.3 During an experiment 2 dm3 of H2(g) reacts with enough O2(g) to produce
H2O(g).
10.3.1 What volume of H2O(g) will be produced during this reaction?
Show your reasoning clearly. (3)
10.3.2 What volume of O2(g) is needed to react with the 2 dm3 of H2(g)? (2) 10.4 Balloons filled with hydrogen gas will rise easily because hydrogen is the least
dense gas. Why is helium the preferred gas when filling balloons to entertain children?

QUESTION 13 A family moved from a town to a farm outside the town. After six months on the farm, they found a white solid forming a layer in the kettle used to boil water. They were very surprised, because this never happened during their stay in town. They realised that the problem must be with the water on the farm. During the analysis of the water on the farm, they were told that the water is hard.
13.1 Explain the term 'hard water'. (2) 13.2 Write down the formula of the solid that precipitated in the kettle. (2) 13.3 Suggest a household substance that the family can use to dissolve the solid
on the inside of the kettle. (2)
13.4 Write down TWO other problems, besides the solid in the kettle, that hard
water can cause for the family. (2)
13.5 The analyst indicated to the family that the hard water can be an advantage
as well. Write down ONE advantage that hard water can have for the family. (2)
13.6 The town gets water from the same source as the farm. The municipality of
the town softens the water using ion exchange. Briefly describes how ion exchange softens the water.
