Ozone concentrations are measured in Dobson units. Dobson units (DU) are the standard way to express ozone concentration in the stratosphere. A concentration of one DU means 20 that there would be 2. 7 x I 0 ozone molecules in a layer of air that was one square metre in area and 0.01 mm thick. A baseline value of220 DU is chosen as the starting point for an ozone hole in the stratosphere since total ozone values of less than 220 Dobson units were not found in historic observations over Antarctica prior to 1979. Which of the following concentrations, in moles per cubic metre (mol m·\ is most nearly equivalent to 220 Dobson units? (A)

Question 28 (4 marks)

In some developing countries, arsenic(III) ions (As3+) in groundwater present a serious health risk for many people. When concentrations exceed 10 ppb, arsenic poisoning can result from drinking contaminated water. The Solar Oxidation and Removal of Arsenic (SORAS) process irradiates drinking water in plastic bottles with sunlight to reduce arsenic(III) levels. Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) can be used to determine the concentration of arsenic(III) ions in the water. The absorbance values for some standard solutions of arsenic(III) ions are shown in the table below. Concentration ofAs(III) ions (ppb)

Question 32 (6 marks) Early in the twentieth century, the German chemist Fritz Haber discovered a process for synthesising ammonia from atmospheric nitrogen that is still in use today. In 1909, Haber was able to demonstrate a process that produced ammonia at a rate of about 125 mL per hour. The process was then purchased by the German chemical company BASF, which assigned Carl Bosch the task of scaling up Haber's laboratory process to industrial-level production. Discuss the impact on society of the development ofthe Haber-Bosch process for synthesising ammonia.

Relates the strength of the covalent bond to the bond energy

Sample answer: Oxygen (02) has a double covalent bond between the two oxygen atoms. Ozone (OJ) has a double covalent bond between one pair of oxygen atoms and a coordinate covalent bond between the other pair of oxygen atoms. These bonds resonate chemically back and forth such that the overall bonding in the molecule can essentially be viewed as a 1.5 covalent bond. The double covalent bond in oxygen is a stronger bond than the 1.5 covalent bond in the ozone. More energy is needed to break the covalent bond in oxygen than either of the covalent bonds in ozone and this explains why oxygen has a higher bond energy than ozone.

Sample answer: Iodine-131 is used in medicine where it is ingested by a patient to treat thyroid disorder or cancers. It has a half life of only eight days which is long enough for transportation to where it needs to be used and short enough to minimise a patient's exposure to radiation. Iodine-131 emits beta and gamma radiation. The beta radiation allows any abnonnal tissue or cancer cells to be destroyed and the gamma radiation allows for the external imagining so that the target cells or area can be imaged.

Sample answer: From the calibration data, an absorbance value of 1.0 corresponds to a concentration of 429 ppb (150/0.35). Before the treatment, the concentration of arsenic ions was 0.28 x 429 = 120 ppb. After the SORAS treatment the concentration of arsenic ions was 0.13 x 429 =56 ppb. The SORAS treatment has been effective in reducing the concentration of arS.i!.iliC ions to just less than half of their original concentration, however, the concentration after SORAS treatment is still greater than the minimum acceptable concentration of 10 ppb. Therefore, while the treatment has been effective at reducing the concentration of arsenic ions and reducing the risk of poisoning, it has not.been effective to prevent arsenic poisoning. To prevent arsenic poisoning, the concentration after SORAS treatment would have to be less than 10 ppb.

Sample answer:

OR I

OR Sample answer: Cellulose is a biopolymer formed by the condensation polymerisation of glucose monomers and represents one major source of carbon compounds that can be used as an alternative to fossil fuels for the production of ethylene. Cellulose contains the basic long carbon chain structure needed to build compounds that are presently made from petrochemicals. Cellulose can be hydrolysed to produce glucose. Fermentation of glucose will produce ethanol that can be distilled to produce a more concentrated form. The ethanol can then be dehydrated to produce ethene in the presence concentrated sulfuric acid. The ethanol can be used as a solvent as it is widely used for this pwpose in industry. Ethanol can also be added to petrol. The ethene can be used to derive the monomers used to make many plastics through addition polymerization. Ethene can also undergo and halogenation to form PVC, refrigerants and other solvents. Cellulose is a renewable source, unlike the raw materials from petrochemicals. This will reduce our dependency on the depleting/non-renewable supplies of fossil fuels. Fuels made from cellulose are however currently more costly to produce than fossil fuels and to grow sufficient plants would result in extensive land clearing. Cellulose currently has limited potential as a suitable alternative to petrochemicals for producing chemicals for industry. Further research to reduce the cost and improve yields is needed before it can become a viable source of chemicals for industry.

The solution could be between pH 6.5 and pH 8.5, so it could be slightly acidic, neutral or slightly basic. Z- The conclusion is accurate. The solution must have a pH greater than 13. The natural indicator has limited validity in assessing if a solution is acidic or b3SlC due to it being purple in the weakly acidic, neutral and weakly basic range. This limits its use in distinguishing between acidic and basic solutions when used alone.

Sample answer: HA is a strong acid and therefore ionises completely, according to the following equation HA + HzO ~ H30+ +A. HB is a weak acid and therefore ionises partially, according to the following equation HB + HzO ~HJO+ +B. pH is a measure of hydronium/hydrogen ion concentration in solution. HA and HB can have the same concentration of hydronium/hydrogen ions in solution since only some of the more concentrated (0.85M) HB acid ions will ionise as compared to all of the less concentrated

Sample answer: The Haber-Basch process has had two significant impacts on society since its invention in the early part of the twentieth century. The first impact was realised soon after its discovery in that it providing the nitrogen compounds needed to make explosives for the Gennan war effort during WWI. The second more sustainable impact has been the provision of ammonia for fertiliser production that has helped to increase crop yields and reduce world hunger. Through the 1800's, heavily populated countries in Europe such as and Britain used guano from islands off the coast of Peru and saltpetre from Chile as a source of nitrogenous compounds. By the end of the 19th century these sources of fixed nitrogen were running out. Scientists were challenged to come up with a process of making fixed nitrogen from the nitrogen in the air. The Haber-Basch process made this synthesis of nitrogen and hydrogen into ammonia cost effective and efficient and was quickly established in several factories in . For a brief time the first factory turned out fertilizer, however, with onset ofWWl, needed munitions for its war effort. To make it worse, the Allies had blocked German supply to the South Ame"rlc3.n saltpetre. The German factories were seconded to provide the nitrogen compounds needed for munitions and the war effort and are either credited or blamed with greatly prolonging WWI and making WW2 possible. Approximately 83% of industrially produced ammonia is used to make fertilisers today. When applied to soil, it helps provide increased yields of crops such as com and wheat. All plants need nitrogen to make amino acids, proteins and DNA, but the nitrogen in the atmosphere is not in a form that they can use. Nitrogen fixation is the name given to any process by which nitrogen (N2) in the atmosphere is converted into ammonia. Atmospheric nitrogen is relatively inert and it does not easily react with other chemicals to form new compounds. Fixation processes free up the nitrogen atoms from their diatomic form to be used in other ways. Nitrogen fixation is essential for all forms of1ife because nitrogen is required to biosynthesize basic building blocks of plants, animals and other life forms such as nucleotides for DNA and RNA and amino acids for proteins. Nitrogen fixation through the Haber process is essential for agriculture and the manufacture of fertiliser, as the ammonia acts as the precursor to various ammonium salts such as ammonium nitrate and sulfate that provide usable nitrogen to plants and then to animals. Using fertilisers to grow plants accelerates growth and increases crop yields. In this way, the Haber-Basch process has had a significant positive impact on society and still does by improving crop yields through the use of fertilisers and reducing world hunger.

Sample answer: The previously yearly average figure shows the average over the preceding year so can be used to compare each water quality factor over the seven-day period. The pH and iron, aluminiwn, nitrate and phosphate concentrations in this tmtreated water are all relatively stable over the seven-day period and very close to the previous yearly average for each factor. In considering these factors alone, the water is within acceptable limits for untreated water and not compromised. However, when considering the E.coli numbers they increase significantly above the previously yearly average from Day 3- Day 7. There is also an increase in turbidity above the previous yearly average for the same day range. The presence of E. Coli compromises the quality of the drinking water significantly as it is a microorganism that causes gastrointestinal diseases with symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea. E.coli at these levels in the water renders it undrinkable. The most probable cause of the increase in E.coli was been the discharge of untreated sewage into the water. This would also for the slight increase in turbidity over the same date range. Flocculation and filtration treatments would remove dissolved and suspended solids and produce clearer water for drinking. Sanitation involves the addition of chlorine, often as sodiwn hypochlorite. The hypochlorite ion, ocr, would kill the E.coli while ammonia is added to keep the water disinfected until it reaches households and businesses. If the treatments have been effective, further testing should yield turbidity readings of less than 1 NTU and an E. coli count of zero organisms/1 00 mL, which are the accepted standards for drinking water in Australia.

Sample a11swer: The Frasch process involves mining sulfur by forcing superheated water into underground deposits of sulfur thereby bringing it to the surface where it can be collected. There are three important properties of sulfur that enable this process to work. Firstly, sulfur has a melting point of 113°C, which means that the superheated water (usually at around 160°C) is able to melt it. Secondly, the nonwpolar nature of sulfur means that it does not dissolve in the hot water, but instead forms an emulsion that is easily separated and allows for easy recovery of the sulfur. Finally, the low density of sulfur means that it can be brought to the surface along with the hot water by pumping compressed air into the system.

Sample a11swer: The main environmental considerations to be aware of as a result of the Frasch process are possible air and water pollution and the potential for subsidence. Sulfur may be converted to sulfur dioxide or hydrogen sulfide by oxidative or reductive processes which result in gases which are serious air pollutants. Both have unpleasant odours and can adversely affect health. There is also a risk of-contamination of waterways if the water used to extract the sulfur escapes before appropriate treatment. This water will often contain impurities such as heavy metals dissolved out of the underground deposits and so care must be taken to ensure that untreated water does not escape to the environment. Finally, the removal of underground material can leave the area vulnerable to subsidence. While the extraction of sulfur by the Frasch process has inherent environmental risks, these are able to be overcome by suitable monitoring and enable an important resource to be obtained.

The conditions used for the industrial conversion of sulfur dioxide to sulfur trioxide as part of the manufacture of sulfuric acid are a pressure of one atmosphere or just over, a small excess of oxygen, a temperature of between 400°C and 550°C and a vanadium 01) catalyst used as V20s. From the equation it is evident that 3 mole of gaseous reactants form 2 mole of gaseous product. This would suggest that a maximmn yield would be obtained by using a high pressure. However, this is expensive to achieve as the expense of building a plant capable of maintaining high pressure is costly and the energy input required to maintain high pressures is also prohibitive. A small excess of oxygen is used to promote conversion to products. Le Chatelier suggests that increased concentration of reactants will favour the production of products. While the reaction is exothermic in the forward direction, suggesting a maximum yield will be obtained from low temperatures, this would result in a very slow reaction rate. Therefore, the compromise temperauture of 400- 550°C is used which allows reasonable yields to be achleved relatively quickly compared to higher yields over a much longer time period. Finally the use of a catalyst allows equilibrium to be achieved more quickly. While this will not alter the yield obtained at equilibrium, achieving equilibrium at a faster rate makes the overall process more cost effective. As can be seen, the conditions used are not those that will necessarily provide maximum yields for the equilibrium system. However, as they allow yields to be achieved faster and/or at the most economic rates, the conditions used are the most viable and therefore appropriate for the conversion of S02 to S03 •

Sample answer: About 6 g of sodiwn hydroxide pellets were weighed and transferred to a 250 mL beaker and 30 rnL of distilled water was added and the mixture stirred with a glass rod m1til the pellets had dissolved. 10 mL of castor oil was then added and the mixture heated on an electric hotplate with constant stirring for 10 minutes. During this time the reaction mixture was carefully monitored to guard against the solution boiling over. The mixture was allowed to cool for 5 minutes and then 10 g of fme sodium chloride was added and stirred. This was then filtered using a Buchner funnel and the solid residue collected for testing. Safety precautions employed were: wearing of protective goggles and rubber gloves during the procedure as the concentrated hydroxide solution is caustic and will cause burns to the skin and potentially serious damage to eyes if in . Use of an electric hotplate to allow for a more even and less powerful heat source than a Bunsen. The mixture was allowed to cool before adding salt to minimise the risk of the mixture boiling violently upon the addition of finely divided solids.

Sample answer: There are three co nun on commercial methods employed for the production of sodium hydroxide. These are the diaphragm, mercury and membrane cell processes. All of these cells involve the electrolysis of a brine solution. The diaphragm cell produces large quantities of sodium hydroxide and chlorine, which are both valuable industrial chemicals in sufficient levels of purity and at reasonable costs. However, these plants are no longer built as they have some significant technical and environmental problems. These include the fact that the diaphragm contains asbestos, which is damaging to health through as it can cause cancers such as mesothelioma and asbestosis. The NaOH produced also contains chloride impurities, as the diaphragm is not ion selective. "Chloride ions are oxidised to chlorine gas at the titanium anode (2Cr ---+ Ch + 2e1 and water is reduced to hydrogen gas and hydroxide ions at the iron mesh cathode (2H20 + 2e- ---+ H2 + 20H1. The mercury cell overcomes the problem of chloride contamination in the sodium hydroxide as well as not requiring the use of asbestos. In these regards the mercury cell is superior to the diaphragm cell but it does have the major drawback in that the cathode is composed of liquid mercury. This inevitably results in the loss of some mercury to the environment that is subject to strict controls. This has also meant that few new mercury plants are being built. Chloride ions are oxidised to chlorine gas at the titanium anode (2Cr ---+ Ch + 2e1 and sodium is reduced to sodium metal at the liquid mercury cathode (Na+ + 2e----+ Na). The sodhun and mercury form an amalgam that then es through more water where the sodium reacts with it (2Na +2H20-+ 2Na0H + H2). The sodium hydroxide solution is then crystallised. The third cell is the membrane cell. This is similar in design to the diaphragm cell except that instead of a diaphragm using asbestos, the membrane that separates the anode and cathode is made of a polymer, polytetrafluoroethane. This cell avoids the envirorunental problems of asbestos or mercury use and also allows for the production of high purity soditun hydroxide without contamination by chloride ions. This ion selective membrane allows only positive ions to through it and not negative ions. For these reasons, new plants that are built are likely to be of this type and many producers are gradually replacing old style diaphragm and mercury plants with this new technology. Chloride ions are oxidised to chlorine gas at the titanium anode (2Cr -+ Ch + 2e1 and water is reduced to hydrogen gas and hydroxide ions at the iron mesh cathode (2H2 0 + 2e--+ H2 + 20H").

Crystals of sodium hydrogen carbonate form as they have a low solubility in the anunoniacal brine. This also drives the reaction to the right and increases the yield. The crystals are washed down to the bottom of the tower where it is ice cold and then vacuum-filtered. The filtrate contains a solution of anunonium chloride. This part of the process needs to be cooled as the dissolution of ammonia in water is exothermic. The overall reaction is: NaCI(a,Y + C0 2(g) + NH,(a,Y + H 2 0(/) -> NaHCO,(s) + NH,CI(s) Step 2 involves heating the sodium hydrogen carbonate so that it decomposes to form solid sodium carbonate. Carbon dioxide and water are also produced at this stage with the carbon dioxide being collected and returned to the Solvay Tower for further reaction. 2NaHCO,(s) -> Na2CO,(s) + CO,(g) + HzO(g)

The rusting of iron is an electrochemical process that begins with the transfer of electrons from iron to oxygen. The iron is the reducing agent (and is oxidised) while the oxygen is the oxidising agent (and is reduced). Separate areas of the iron nail act as both the anode and the cathode. At the cathode site oxyge.ti is reduced to hydroxide ions: 0 2 + 4e- + 2H20 ~40ft. At the anode site, iron is oxidized to iron (II) ions: Fe~ Fe2+ + 2e-. The overall equation for the reaction is:

Sample answer: The type of electrolyte can affect an electrolysis reaction. Inert carbon electrodes were placed into a U-tube filled with copper sulfate. The electrodes were connected to a power source set at 2 V. A drop of universal indicator was added to the electrolyte at both the anode and cathode. The experiment was then repeated with the U-tube filled with sodium sulfate instead of copper sulfate.

Sample answer:

Sample answer:

Because of its higher carbon content, iron tends to be more brittle than steel and corrodes more readily, as the additional carbon provides more cathodic sites for corrosion. Carbon steels are the preferred structural material in ocean-going ships because of their corrosion resistance, strength and economical price.

To determine the effect of the change in electrolyte on the electrolysis reaction, all other variables must be kept the same. Thus, the concentration and volume of the electrolyte must be kept constant, so too must the types of electrodes, applied voltage and a consistent volwne of indicator added to

each electrode. The type of electrolyte is the only variable that is changed. The drops of universal indicator are added to each electrode to detennine what gases are being evolved at the electrode - if oxygen is being evolved, then so too are W, so the universal turns red. If however, hydrogen is being evolved, so too are OH- so the universal will turn purple.

Sample answer: Galvani performed a series of investigations on the effect of static charge on the muscles and nerves in the legs of frogs and concluded that animal tissue contained 'animal electricity'. Volta invented a device that could transfer static electricity between objects and also invented the Voltaic Pile, alternating discs of silver and zinc separated by cardboard soaked in salt solution. It produced an electric current in an external circuit and was the first battery ever produced. Davy explored applications of the Voltaic pile. He constructed the largest battery ever built and ed a strong electric current through the molten salts of various compounds (potassium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide) he suspected of containing undiscovered elements. Faraday was Davy's assistant and delved into the quantitative aspects of electrochemistry. Faraday developed laws of electrolysis: that the amount of an element produced by electrolysis was dependent on the quantity of electricity ed through the circuit and the atomic weight of the element and its valency. This is important in industrial applications of electrochemistry.

Question 36- The Biochemistry of Movement (25 marks)

Sample answer: At great ocean depths like that of the RMS Titanic, seawater would have a temperature of about 0°C, very little dissolved oxygen, and a lower salinity than at the surface. It was these conditions that led scientists to postulate that corrosion would be significantly reduced at these depths. The nonnal corrosion of iron requires oxygen and water at the anode to produce hydroxide ions and the lack of oxygen at great depths would seem to suggest that the rate of this reaction would be reduced. Corrosion is also affected by the concentration of the electrolyte and a reduced salinity due to the low temperature could also be expected to reduce the rate of corrosion. Over many years of study of the Titanic resting site and its artefacts, scientists have discovered new previously unknown factors that are responsible for accelerating corrosion at great depths. Some parts of the wreck were covered by sediment or calcareous deposits (CaC03) fanned by marine organisms, causing differences in aeration of the metal in the wreck. Differential aeration results in the setting up of anodic and cathodic regions on the metal surface and subsequent corrosion. It was no"t expected that the marine'organisnis leaving these deposits would be fotmd at these depths. Low pH conditions due to the high concentrations of dissolved carbon dioxide would also increase the rate of corrosion. The presence of higher concentrations of hydrogen ions facilitates the reduction of dissolved oxygen, as shown: Oz +4ft+ 4e· --7 2Hz0 and accelerates corrosion. Anaerobic bacteria were also found in the corroded hull and were reducing sulfate ions in the seawater instead of oxygen. In acidic conditions, sulfate ions are reduced to hydrogen sulphide and water according to this equation: so,l· +lOW+ se·-? H2S + 4H20. The action of the sulfate reducing bacteria provides the electrons needed for the iron in the ship's hull to corrode: Fe--? Fe2+ + 2e·. The hydrogen sulfide produced is also a weak acid and would lower the pH ofthe water surrounding the wreck and further accelerate corrosion. The discovery of the Titanic enhanced our understanding of sulfate reducing bacteria and the role that they play in affecting corrosion. In addition, many marine organisms were also discovered living •at these depths that were not expected. For these reasons, the discovery of the RMS Titanic significantly changed the nature and direction of scientific thinking in tenns of corrosion in the absence of oxygen.

Also ensuring other variables that affect enzyme activity, such as pH, are also kept constant.

Sample answer: Viscosity is the resistance of a liquid to flow and is related to intermolecular forces in that the stronger the intermolecular forces, the higher the viscosity. The main intermolecular bonding in both glycerol and ethanol is hydrogen bonding, however, because glycerol has more hydroxyl groups (3) than ethanol (1 ), there will be more hydrogen bonding in glycerol. This means that glycerol will be more viscous.

Sample answer: During exercise, when blood glucose levels drop the glucose polymer glycogen stored in muscles and the liver breaks down to produce more glucose. However, there is a limit to how much can be stored. Glucose therefore does not produce as much energy per gram as do fats (lipids). If more energy is needed the stored lipids are broken into fatty acids and undergo reactions to produce acetyl CoA and proceed through the respiratory cycle. Eating a lot of carbohydrate may allow the body to store its maximum amollilt of glycogen, but the length and intensity of the event will determine how long before the energy from fats begins to be metabolised.

Sample a11swer: Advances in biochemistry have identified two distinct types of skeletal muscle fibre with different structure and function. Type I cells are also called slow-twitch cells or fibres and type 2 cells are called fast-twitch fibres. These two types of muscle cells use different fuels and different stages of cellular respiration dominate their energy production reactions. Type I (slow-twitch) muscle cells contract slowly and steadily and have a rich blood supply and therefore adequate oxygen for use in aerobic respiration. These cells have many mitochondria and obtain most of their ATP by the process of oxidative phosphorylation. The filament structure of these muscle fibres shows them to have fewer contractile filaments. Type I muscle cells are useful in light endurance exercise, such as long-distance running. The top distance runners have a highly developed ability to produce ATP aerobically. They use a variety of fuels, such as glucose, fatty acids and amino acids. Type 2 (fast-twitch) muscle cells contract relatively rapidly. They contain fewer mitochondria and have a reduced supply of blood and therefore oxygen. As a result they mostly respire anaerobically. Type 2 or fast-twitch muscle cells are used in high-intensity athletic events such as the sprint events in swinuning and running. Type 2 muscle cells are primarily anaerobic, using the available glucose and stored glycogen as their energy sources. Some glycogen is stored in small granules in muscle tissue. This glycogen can readily be broken down to glucose-6-phosphate and then to glucose, which is available for glycolysis. The action of type 2 muscle cells requires maximum energy in a short time, and is supplied by anaerobic glycolysis. The formation of lactic acid and the resulting drop in pH associated with this process causes muscle fatigue and cramps. To avoid this, athletes follow a training program in order to maximise their bodies' ability to take in and use oxygen. Athletes also have a carbohydrate-rich diet, eating large quantities of pasta, bread and fruits in preparation for their events. Advances in biochemistry have improved our understanding of the structure and function of type 1 and 2 muscle fibres and those factors affecting the performance and maintenance of type 2 fibres used more conunonly for sprinting and short distance rlUUling. For this reason, advances in biochemistry have had a significant positive impact on the performance and recovery of sprinters .

Sample answer: Since each ion of a transition metal in a different oxidation state has a different arrangement of filled and unfilled 3d and 4s orbitals, they will have different energies they can absorb from the range of visible light, so this will give them different colours. This explains why manganese changes its colour from purple to colourless as it moves from an oxidation state of+7 to +2.

It is in the fifth period because its outer electrons are in the fifth energy level. It is in the d-block (in the second row of transition elements). It is placed in this block because it has a partially filled 4d orbital. It has a first ionisation energy that is much higher than molybdenum (42). This is because it has one electron in each of its d-orbitals, giving it greater chemical stability. It has a lower ionisation energy than ruthenium (44) because the greater the nuclear charge, the harder it is to remove the electrons. Likewise its electronegativity is greater than molybdenum and less than ruthenium. For these reasons, technetium is best placed in between molybdenum and ruthenium.

Compares emission and absorption spectra

Sample answer: Spectra are produced when electrons in an element transition between energy levels. The lines in the spectrum occur at different wavelengths that represent the energy involved in the electron transition. Emission spectra are produced after an atom absorbs energy and the electron goes to a higher energy level, as it returns to a lower level, it releases energy that corresponds to particular wavelengths shown by the spectral lines. These are seen as coloured lines against a dark background. Absorption spectra however, are formed when white light es through the vaporised element and the atoms absorb energy at discrete wavelengths causing electrons to transition to higher energy levels. Hence wavelengths are 11 missing" from the spectrum. These are seen as black lines against a coloured background.

Several teclmologies have had a significant impact on the way we analyse pigments that have been used throughout history. These teclmologies have helped us learn about the chemical composition of pigments and allowed for synthetic versions of pigments to be produced that are more stable and versatile than their historical predecessors. Some of these technologies are outlined below. Reflectance spectroscopy is based on the principle that a sample may absorb some photons and reflect others of different wavelengths. The reflected light is collected and measured as intensity as a function of wavelength. A plot is produced showing reflectance against wavelength. Many of the natural pigments used in historical paintings contain transition metal elements that give rise to the colour of the pigment, e.g. Cu, Fe, Zn and Co. The oxidation state of the element and the ligands bound to it determine the colour of the pigment .. Reflective spectroscopy is useful to identify pigments as it does not require the extraction of a sample of the painting and is a non-destructive technique. Infrared reflectography is a specific form of reflectance spectroscopy. It uses infrared radiation (wavelength range of700 run -1 mm). The technique is particularly sensitive to any underlying drawing in graphite, charcoal or black ink, thus giving clues to the artistic process. Infrared radiation is also useful in identifying copper-containing green pigments and therefore helps to detect the presence of these pigments. Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, which uses wavelengths in the range of200-700 run, operates on the same principle. Identification of pigments can be made by comparison of the obtained spectrum to those from known standards. Laser microspectral analysis uses a high-energy pulse of laser light to vaporise a small portion of the painting. This vapour is electrically excited, resulting in the sample emitting radiation that is collected as an emission spectrwn. The ability of spectroscopic techniques to determine what pigments artists used in their paintings during history has greatly helped our understanding of the artistic process as well as providing a means for developing more stable and versatile synthetic pigments.

Sample answer: Line emission spectra ed Bohr's model because it was evidence for electrons moving between discrete energy levels and emitting or absorbing energy as they did so. However, further analysis of spectra using more accurate instrumentation found that single emission lines could be resolved into several lines -this could not be explained by Bohr's model. Also, the observed line spectra did not agree with Bohr's model when more than one electron was present, i.e. all elements except hydrogen.

Sample answer: Most cells contain DNA, a complex biopolymer with a very large molecular mass. DNA contains the genes that determine our uniquely individual characteristics such as height, weight, skin colour, eye colour, hair type and so on. Genes are specific sequences of amino acids in the DNA. While genes contain the instructions needed for protein synthesis, there are also portions of a human's DNA that are unique to each individual. These DNA sections can be used to develop DNA fingerprints that can be linked to a particular individual. This process is used both to identify a criminal suspect and to clear innocent suspects by taking samples of DNA from crime scenes and comparing them to the DNA of suspects.

Reducing sugars may be readily identified by their reaction with Benedict's solution, which is a weak oxidising agent. Benedict's solution, an alkaline solution containing Cu2+ ions, reacts with the carbonyl group of reducing sugars when gently heated to produce a red precipitate of copper(!) oxide. The carbonyl group in the reducing sugar is oxidised to a carboxylic acid group. The characteristic brick-red colour of the copper(!) oxide precipitate is readily observable.

Sample answer: If a child's DNA profile contains bands that are present in neither the mother nor the supposed father's DNA profiles, then the supposed father is not the child's natural father. In this example, half of the child's DNA bands come from the man and half come from the mother. The child's entire DNA in fuis sample is either from the mother or the man so it is likely that the man is the father of the child.

Sample answer: In mass spectroscopy the sample is vaporised and bombarded with a stream of high-energy electrons. The resulting negative ions are discarded and the positive ions are accelerated by an electric field and then ed through a magnetic field. This causes the ions to move in curved paths in which the radius of the path depends on the charge/mass ratio of the ions. The result is that the ions are detected in different positions according to their relative charge/mass ratio. The masses of the ions can be calculated and the intensity of the reading determines their abundance. 34 OISCI.AIMER

Sample answer: High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is a form of liquid chromatography that was developed in the mid-1970s. Over the past few decades the technique has been improved, allowing for better separation and identification of very similar compounds that are dissolved in solution . HPLC can be applied to the analysis of low concentrations of organic substances such as proteins in envirorunental, food, drug or biological samples. HPLC is used to detennine the amount of caffeine in soft drinks. This method has a shorter flow time than other methods as it runs at high pressures, but it has the advantage of operating at room temperature, so heat-sensitive samples are not degraded. HPLC is useful to forensic chemists because of its high resolution, high-speed scans and high sensitivity. High resolution is important because compmmds of almost identical mass cap. be separated, allowing the accurate and reliable comparison of samples. The impact of this on forensic investigations has been to increase the degree of confidence in results obtained. The high speed of scanning in HPLC is also important because analyses that would have previously required highly skilled chemists to undergo a complex series of tests are now performed in a few seconds. The high sensitivity of HPLC means that samples of only a few micrograms can be analysed. This has had a huge impact on forensic investigations because in the past there were many cases where samples were too small to allow traditional chemical analysis. Today a small portion of a sample may be analysed by HPLC and the remaining sample can be subject to other analytical techniques.

Sample answer: As excited electrons move to lower energy levels, they emit particular ammmts of energy. This corresponds to a particular wavelength such that the energy is inversely proportional to the wavelength. Since each element has its own unique difference in energy between energy levels, each must also have its own unique corresponding wavelengths and these show up as lines in the spectrum for the element.
