11. (a) It is a complex mixture of alkanes. Some of the higher alkanes dissolve in liquid oil to form a
solution; besides, the various compounds present lower the melting points of each other.
(b) Fractional distillation
(c) 1
(d) 1 (refinery gas); 2 (petrol; naphtha); 3 (kerosene); 4 (gas oil)
(e) Most of the residue is burnt directly as fuel oil in large furnaces such as those in power stations or
big ships. A small proportion of it is vacuum distilled to give lubricating oils, waxes and bitumen
(for surfacing roads).
(f) Fraction 2; petrol as motor car fuel, naphtha to produce town gas and alkenes (for preparing
many useful chemicals)
(g) It is immiscible with water and has a density less than 1 g cm−3, hence it forms a layer on the
surface of water, suffocating the larvae. Fraction 2 would not be suitable, as it is volatile and will
easily evaporate away.

12. Temperature can be assumed to be about the same since the three places are near the Equator. Rates
of corrosion are different due to different environments and therefore different amounts of pollutants.
Amount of pollutants is the greatest in an industrial area (place C)  with all its industrial plants, factories and

©Aristo Educational Press Ltd. 2004 - 15 -


motor cars.
Amount of pollutants is the least in rural area (place B), where there are no industrial plants and few motor
cars.
Amount of pollutants is medium in urban area (place A) due to the large number of motor cars.

13. (a) Sulphur dioxide is the main pollutant which causes acid rain. Coal-fired power stations in Hong
Kong are major sources of sulphur dioxide. To greatly reduce the amount of sulphur dioxide given
out, more expensive high-grade fuel (with low sulphur content) should be used. Also, the power
stations should be installed with scrubbers. However, the installation and maintenance cost a lot
of money. The price of electricity would surely go up.
(b) Some would be willing to pay, some would not. Some people are well aware of the importance of
environmental protection. However, others may think that the acid rain problem is not yet serious
in Hong Kong at present, and it is not worthwhile to pay any additional charges.

14. (a) Coal is used as fuel in the industrial plant. When the fuel is burnt, the sulphur it contains turns to
sulphur dioxide. Besides, some nitrogen dioxide is also produced during burning. Sulphur dioxide
and nitrogen dioxide emitted from the industrial plant escape into the atmosphere directly above
and are blown by the wind from the southwest. These pollutants combine with rainwater to form
acid rain (which is likely to have a pH of 4) that falls on X.
(b) Y.
Not at X. The acid rain would harm the rice.
Y is near a pier (ease of transportation).

15. (a) If the atmosphere was thicker, we would have more of an insulating ‘blanket’ to provide a thermal
balance. As a result: the average daytime temperature would be lower.
(b) If the atmosphere was thicker, we would have more of an insulating ‘blanket’ to provide a thermal
balance. As a result: the average nighttime temperature would be higher.

(b) Using solar heating panels, mirrors and solar cells.

17. (a) Liquid; size of fuel tanks can be much smaller


(b) Water; no
(c) Strictly speaking, the answer is no. This is because hydrogen produces very small amounts of
nitrogen oxides during its combustion. However, hydrogen causes far less pollution than fossil
fuels do.

(b) (i) CO2 levels have increased.


(ii) CO2 levels at present = 385 ppm 2010 = 395 ppm 2050 = 483 ppm
(iii) No.
(iv) The prediction nearest the last measured datum would be most accurate. The rate of CO2
build-up in the atmosphere may change from the previous rates. The further into the future
we extrapolate the graph, the more uncertain our prediction would be.
(v) Same rate of increase of CO2 levels.

Advantages: Clean (or relatively small volumes of fuels are needed)
Disadvantages: It may be disastrous if there is a leakage of radioactivity (or special safety
measures must be taken to dispose of radioactive waste)
Coal-fired power station
Advantage: Cheap fuel (or coal readily available)
Disadvantage: Production of a large amount of sulphur dioxide

(ii) Yes
(d) The demand for natural gas increases rapidly. By 2015, natural gas would surpass coal to
become the second most important energy source. Petroleum will still remain the first.
(e) Nuclear power
Reasons:
(1) The public have become increasingly aware of the potential dangers associated with
nuclear power. Many people object to building of new nuclear plants.
(2) Keen competition in the energy market (the main competitor being power stations
generating electricity from natural gas)
