1. Phenolphthalein is colourless at pH 7 but its structure changes at pH 11 and it becomes pink.

The structures of the compound at these two pH values are shown below.

Deduce the colours of the two structures and explain, in terms of the bonding, why one is

coloured and the other is not.

2. Copper(II) sulfate forms a pale blue aqueous solution. When aqueous ammonia is added to this,

initially a pale blue precipitate forms; this precipitate then dissolves in excess ammonia to form

a deep blue solution. Explain why these solutions are coloured and the colour with excess

ammonia is a deeper blue.

4. The structures of retinol and cholesterol are given in Table 21 of the Data Booklet.

Both are slightly soluble in a colourless non-polar solvent. Explain why retinol forms a

5. When excess ammonia solution is added to a solution of copper(II) sulfate the oxidation

number of the copper ion does not change but there is a noticeable colour change.

Outline the reasons for this change in colour.

9. Although both lead, Pb, and chromium, Cr, are metals, only chromium is classified as a

transition metal and forms transition metal complexes, such as [Cr(H2O)6]3+.

atom is represented below. Draw the completed diagram showing the d orbitals in

[Cr(H2O)6]3+ after splitting.

(ii) State and explain what happens to the splitting of the d orbitals if the ligand is changed

from H2O to NH3.

10. A feature of some 1H NMR spectra is the electron-withdrawing effect of electronegative atoms.

These atoms cause nearby protons to produce peaks at higher chemical shift values, often in the

range 2.5 to 4.5 ppm.

Consider the 1H NMR spectrum of an unknown compound, D, which has a molecular formula

C4H8O2 and is known to have an absorption in its IR spectrum corresponding to a C=O

absorption.

Use this information and the values in Table 18 of the Data Booklet to deduce the structure of

D.
