SECTION B – Answer TWO questions only on the foolscap provided.
This section carries 40 marks.
7 Read the newspaper passage below before answering the questions.
Arizona wildfire tragedy: 19 firefighters lose their lives
Over the parched Granite Mountains, 19 of the most well-trained and physically fit firefighters in the United States of America died while battling one of the deadliest wildfire since the 1930s. On the hot afternoon of 30 June 2013, the
firefighters had made their way to the dry area around Yarnell Hill to take on what seemed a small fire that had been triggered by lightening a day or two before. Some of the trees and shrubs were alight. But the wind suddenly blew up and changed the situation drastically. A fire that looked beatable suddenly roared to life, cutting off their escape routes.
The firefighters deployed their personal shelters, capsule-like devices
designed to deflect heat and trap breathable air, in a last-ditch effort to survive.
Some of the men made it into their shelters and some did not, according to a helicopter crew flying over the area. The helicopter crew looked on helplessly but could do nothing to help the firefighters.
19 out of the 20 firefighting squad members lost their lives.
a. (i) Burning wood from trees acted as fuel. Name another source of fuel for this wildfire. [1]
(ii) Name two products released from the complete combustion of wood, which is similar to
fossil fuels.
[2]
(iii) Briefly describe a chemical test to show the presence of each of the two products you
mentioned in a. (ii) above.
[2]
(iv) From what you read above, deduce the conditions that make a wildfire likely to start. [5]
(v) Using your knowledge of chemical reactions, explain how the wind made the fire more
dangerous.
[2]
(vi) The firefighters’ shelters were designed to ‘deflect heat and trap breathable air.’ What
two dangerous products were the firefighters exposed to?
[2]
b. (i) Wildfires contribute to world pollution. Explain the polluting effects that you would
expect wildfires to have on the environment.
[3]
(ii) Combustion of hydrocarbon fuels is an even bigger contributor to world pollution than
forest fires. Write a balanced chemical equation to represent the combustion of the
hydrocarbon octane, which is present in petrol. Include state symbols.

8 Some clothes cannot be washed in water
because they would change shape or shrink.
Therefore they are taken for dry-cleaning.
Dry-cleaning is also used to remove dirt and
greasy stains that water and detergents cannot.
In dry-cleaning, special solvents (liquids) that
dissolve grease are used. A dry-cleaning
machine is like a big washing machine that
uses a solvent instead of water. The solvent is
recycled and used over and over again.
Chemists can ‘design’ dry-cleaning solvents so
that they have exactly the properties needed.
‘I should have taken my t-shirt
for dry-cleaning instead of
washing it at home!’
A dry-cleaning machine
When choosing a solvent for dry-cleaning,
chemists look at the following properties:
Whether it is flammable or not
If it is poisonous or not
Its boiling point :
o If it is too high it will prove costly
to recycle
o If it is too low it will vaporise in
the machine
a. (i) Once the clothes are removed from a dry-cleaning machine, they are ‘wet’ with the
solvent. Name the process by which the solvent can be removed from the clothes and
state two ways of making this process happen faster.
[3]
(ii) Petrol is a very volatile liquid that is very good at dissolving grease. Give two possible
reasons why it is not used as a solvent in dry-cleaning. [2]
b. The manager of a dry-cleaning business has asked you to give her some advice on which
solvent to use for a dry-cleaning machine. The table below gives you some important
properties of five solvents:
Solvent A B C D E
Ability to dissolve grease excellent very
good
very
good
excellent excellent
Does it burn (flammable)? no
no no yes no
Is its vapour poisonous? slightly
no no no no
What is its boiling point? 127 ºC
400 ºC 130 ºC 120 ºC 45 ºC
Decide which one of the five solvents would make the best choice for use in dry-cleaning and
explain your reasons for making that choice.

c.
You are given a sample of dry-cleaning solvent that has dissolved
impurities in it. You are asked to devise a way to purify the
solvent so that it can be recycled.
(i) Name the laboratory technique that can be used to obtain the
pure solvent from the impure solution.
[1]
(ii)
Draw a fully labelled diagram of the apparatus you would
use to obtain a sample of the pure solvent in the laboratory.
[4]
(iii) Explain the processes which are happening in each section
of the apparatus.

9 A laboratory analyst working in a Pharmaceutical
Company was given 4 reagent bottles each
containing a white substance. The old labels had
rotted away. The analyst’s job was to identify
which substance had been stored in each bottle.
The analyst carried out the following steps:
He checked the inventory of the cupboard
where the bottles had been stored and
discovered that each bottle contained a
magnesium compound.
These included:
o Magnesium sulfate (Epsom salts)
o Magnesium hydroxide (Magnesia)
o Magnesium chloride (Oral magnesium supplement)
o Magnesium bromide (Tranquilliser medicine)
He labelled the substances in the bottles A, B, C and D.
He observed the appearance of each substance and noted it.
He took a sample of each of the four substances and checked whether each was soluble in
water or not.
The results of steps 3 and 4 are shown below:
Appearance Solubility in water
Substance A white crystalline solid Dissolves in water to form a colourless
solution
Substance B white powder Dissolves in water to form a colourless
solution
Substance C white crystalline solid Dissolves in water to form a colourless
solution
Substance D white crystalline solid Does not dissolve in water
…this question continues on the next page…

a (i) Explain why the analyst labelled all four substances before he started doing any tests on
them. [1]
(ii) By using the table on page 10, explain why the substance in bottle D could be identified
immediately without the need of further chemical tests. State the name of the substance
in bottle D.
[2]
(iii) Substance D can be classified as a base. What is a base? [1]
(iv) Name one substance that would react with substance D to produce a salt and water. [1]
b.
To discover which substances were stored in
bottles A, B and C, the analyst then
performed a series of chemical tests for
anions.
(i) Explain why the analyst did not need to perform any cation tests in order to reach his
goal of identifying the 3 remaining substances.
[1]
(ii) Describe two chemical tests which the analyst could perform on solutions of the
substances A, B and C in order to identify them conclusively.
Each of your 2 answers should include:
A brief description of the method
The observations which would be noted (including negative results) when the
reagent is added to substances A, B and C
The conclusion drawn from each observation
[12]
(iii) Write a balanced chemical equation for any one of the reactions you mentioned in
question b (ii) above.
