Use the following article to answer questions 52 and 53.
The Subatomic Assembly of Hydrogen
My first exercise in hydrogen production was to drop a 9-volt battery into a cup of
water. I had managed to assemble pure hydrogen gas out of subatomic particles.
The protons came from the water itself, which always has a bunch of them running
around loose (naked protons are also called hydrogen ions). The electrons came
from the battery. When I injected the electrons into the water, they latched onto the
protons to form a few small bubbles of hydrogen gas. From there I added salt to the
water to increase its conductivity, thereby increasing the flow of current and the
number of electrons available to pair up with all those wild protons. As current flows
from the 9-volt battery through a cup of water, bubbles of hydrogen form on the
negative electrode while oxygen accumulates on the positive one. To determine
which electrode produces which gas, hold a match near the surface of the water.
The hydrogen gas bubbling off the negative electrode crackles and flashes as it
reacts with oxygen in the air, forming water. Although it’s flammable, you won’t
generate enough with a 9-volt battery to make it dangerous.
Adapted from an article by
Theodore Gray in Popular Science, December 2003, p. 146.

Booklet or Answer Sheet after the invigilator has asked students to hand in
examination papers.
•
Students must not remove any piece of the examination materials from the
examination room, including work pages.
4. The use of inappropriate language or content may result in a mark of zero
being awarded.
