Explanation

(a) (i) Faraday's first law of electrolysis states that the amount of a substance discharged at/dissolved from an electrode is directly proportional to the quantity of electricity that passes through the electrolyte.

OR

- The mass of an element deposited at the electrode is directly proportional to the quantity of electricity passed.

(ii) Strong electrolytes dissociate/ionize completely in aqueous solutions while weak electrolytes dissociate/ionize only slightly/partially in aqueous solution.

(b)

-it burns in air/oxygen;

- it undergoes addition reaction;-it undergoes polymerization,

- it undergoes substitution/precipitation reaction.

(c)i) hydrocarbon with double/triple bond/multiple bonds between at least a pair of carbon atoms.

(ii) CH\(_3\)COOH + CH\(_3\)OH   CH\(_3\)COOCH\(_3\) + H\(_2\)

 (ii) Methylethanoate (d) addition of concentrated H\(_2\)SO\(_4\) ; - removal of the ester as soon as it forms; - increase the concentration of one of the reactants.

(e) 65.0g of Zn\(^2+\) will produce 6.02 x 10\(^23\) molecules of H\(_2\), OR 65.0g Zn = I molecule of H\(_2\)

∴ 3.75g of Zn = \(frac{3.75}{ 65}\) X 6.02 x 10\(^23\)

= 3.4 X 10 molecules

(f) Sea level rising: -severe climate changes,depletion of coral reefs;  -alters ecosystem balance/setting animal on the move; - severe drought; flooding or( areas); - polar ice melting

(g)(i) equation B, H\(_2\) +C\(_2\)H\(_4\) --> C\(_2\)H\(_6\) 

(ii) In equation B, H changes from zero to-1; C changes from +2 to +3 as Concentration (i)  

(h)(i) an electron in an atom exists/revolves a circular orbit; - energy of an electron is quantified / has  a fixed value; - an electron emits energy in the form of radiation when it moves from a higher energy state to a lower energy State.

(ii) Bohr's model cannot explain the more complicated spectra lines observed in spectra Other than that of hydrogen. (i) temperature; pressure/volume; -concentration 

(j) (i) produces a gas/effervescence/bubbles- given off;- HCI will produce a more vigorous reaction/CH\(_3\)COOH will produce a less vigorous reacton.
