Answer all questions on the Answer sheet.
Exercise 1: True or False. (3 pts)
Answer by true or false. Correct the false statements.
a. Hydrogen gas and oxygen gas are simple pure substances.

b. Mercury and bromine are liquids at room temperature.
c. A proton carries a negative electric charge while the electron carries a positive electric charge.
d. Protons and electrons are located in the nucleus of an atom, while neutrons are located at the periphery
of an atom.
e. Relative density is calculated by dividing the density of the substance over the density of water.
f. Mixtures are characterized by their physical constants.
Exercise 2: Pure Substances. (8 pts)

In the past, ancients used the drawings as symbols of elements but the modern chemists used shorthand
representations of the names of elements which can be understood by scientists around the word. The figure
below represents the drawings of silver, copper, gold, iron, sulfur and mercury elements.
a. Write the modern symbol for each element mentioned above. (1.5pt)
b. Classify the elements in the figure into metals and non-metals. (1.5pt)
c. Write two properties or characteristics that distinguish between metals and non-metals. (1pt)
d. Calculate the densities of the missing elements. Substance Iron Silver Mercury Gold
i. Given that Mercury metal is poured into a
graduated cylinder that holds exactly 22.5 mL. Density(g/cm3) ? 10.5 ? 19.3
The mercury used to fill the cylinder weighs
306.0 g. Calculate the density of Mercury. (1pt)
ii. 28.5 g of iron shot is added to a graduated cylinder containing 45.5 mL of water. The water level rises
to the 49.1 mL mark. Calculate the density of Iron. (1pt)

.beaker B
Beaker A: Beaker B: alcohol +

Pure water water
a. Which of the substance above represent a : (0.25pt)

i. Mixture
ii. Pure substance
b. Which of the substances above can undergo physical fractionation? (0.25pt)
 Below is the table studying the variation of the temperature during the boiling of alcohol-
water in beaker B. ( under normal and constant pressure)

c. Plot, on a graph paper, the graph that represents the variation of the temperature as a function of time
(min) during the boiling of the alcohol -water mixture, using the table above. (2 pts)
d. What is the temperature at which alcohol-water starts boiling? (0.5pt)
e. According to your knowledge, what is the boiling point of pure water (under normal pressure)? (0.5pt)
f. How can we distinguish between a curve that represent the heating of a pure liquid and a curve that
represent the heating of a liquid mixture? ( 1.5 pt)
Exercise 4: Electrolysis of sodium hydroxide aqueous solution (4pts)
The setup below represents the process of Electrolysis of sodium hydroxide aqueous solution. Electrolysis
is a chemical fractionation technique that decomposes water into two gases: gas A and Gas B. The anode
and the cathode of the setup are connected to an electrical source (battery) . A base (NaOH) added to the
pure water. Two elastic balloons were connected on top of the jar to indicate the presence of the gases
produced.
Gas A Gas B
Pure water +
sodium hydroxide
(NaOH)
a. Why the solution above is characterized as aqueous? ( 0,5 pt)

b. What is the role of the electric current in the process of electrolysis of water? (0.5 pt)
c. Why was sodium hydroxide (NaOH) added to pure water? (0.5pt)
d. Name the gases produced: Gas A and Gas B. (1 pt)
e. Compare the volume of Gas A to that of Gas B.(0.5pt)
f. How can we (chemically) identify each of the two gases A and B obtained above? (1pt)
