PART II Answer ALL questions. Write your answers in the spaces provided. 9. Transition metal ions are commonly used for catalysis. For example, the reaction between aqueous potassium sodium 2,3-dihydroxybutanedioate (C4H4O62(aq)) and hydrogen peroxide solution is very slow at room temperature, even when heated. It can be speeded up by using cobalt(II) ions. The equation involved is shown below: C4H4O62(aq) + 3H2O2(aq) 2CO2(g) + 2HCO2(aq) + 4H2O(l) The catalysed mixture appears pink initially due to the presence of cobalt(II) ions. During the reaction, the mixture turns green. When the reaction is complete, the mixture returns to pink. This explains why the reaction is sometimes called traffic light reaction.
(a) Suggest how you can follow the progress of the reaction.
(b) (i)
Explain why the colour of the mixture turns from pink to green and then returns to pink as the reaction proceeds.

12. Esters are compounds widely found in nature. They have pleasant odours. Food and beverage manufacturers often use them as additives to enhance flavour or odour. Although the fruity tastes and odours of esters are pleasant, they are seldom used in perfumes or scents that are applied to the body. The ingredients of more expensive perfumes are hydrocarbons (terpenes), ketones and ethers extracted from natural sources. The reason is that ester is not as stable upon sweating as the more expensive ingredients. Ethyl butyrate is an ester with a smell like that of pineapple. The structure is shown below:
(b) (i)
Name TWO organic compounds used for the formation of ethyl butyrate by esterification.
(ii) Give the reagent(s) and condition(s) that are necessary for the formation of ethyl butyrate during esterification.

x = 1.14 the equilibrium concentration of isomer B is 1.14 mol dm3. [1] (d) The reaction is exothermic. [1] At a higher temperature, Kc is smaller and less isomer B is present. Since the equilibrium position shifts to the left at a higher temperature, it indicates that the forward reaction is exothermic. [1] 11. (a) Na2O(s) + 2HCl(aq) 2NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) (b) Al2O3(s) + 6H+(aq) 2Al3+(aq) + 3H2O(l) Al2O3(s) + 2OH(aq) + 3H2O(l) 2[Al(OH)4](aq) (c) SO2(g) + 2NaOH(aq) Na2SO3(aq) + H2O(l) (d) There is no neutral oxide in Period 3.

12. (a) Ethyl butanoate [1] (b) (i) Ethanol and butanoic acid [1] (ii) Concentrated sulphuric acid and heat under reflux [1] (c) On contact with sweat, esters undergo hydrolysis, giving organic acids. [1] These acids generally do not have a pleasant odour. [1] CH3CH2CH2COOCH2CH3 + H2O CH3CH2CH2COOH + CH3CH2OH [1] (d) Esters would possibly attract fruit flies and insects. [1] (e) No. This is because the perception of flavour requires combined responses (bitter, sour, sweet and salty) from taste buds on the tongue. A complex mixture (in which a single ester predominates) is needed. [1]
