This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and candidates, to indicate the requirements of
the examination. It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not
indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners meeting before marking began,
which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers.

(i) Temperature (rise) plotted on y-axis against volume (of

FA 2) or FA 2 added /cm3 on x-axis. Clearly labelled
axes (ignore units unless T, T or V used as labels)
(ii) Uniform and sensible scales that allow points to be

plotted in at least half of the squares on each axis.
(6 4 big squares). (0,0) may be considered as an
additional point or with a line going through it
(iii) Visual check the sweep of all points, for all

experiments recorded. Check the plotting of points for
10, 30 and 50 cm3 of FA 2 (and any other suspect
point) If any point is missing and that experiment was
not carried out, check adjacent point
Points should be within of a small square, in the
correct square
Do not award if T plotted instead of T
(iv) Appropriate lines drawn through the ascending and

descending points. (Ignore any deviation through
rounding at the maximum temperature rise)
Do not award if both straight lines and curves drawn
or there is any forced change in gradient.
Reads from the graph (to within small square) the

volume of FA 2 at the intersection of two lines. Allow
rounding to the closest cm3
Do not award this mark if the lines/curves have been
rounded at the maximum T.
Explains that the temperature rise is the dependent

variable or

(i) Temperature of acid/solution in the beaker plotted on

y-axis against time on x-axis.
Clearly labelled axes (ignore units)
[temp/time are minimum acceptable labels]
but
accept T / C and t / min as labels. The unit is
necessary in this case
(ii) Uniform and sensible scales for candidates choice of

graph.
Plotted points must be in at least 5 large squares on
the temperature axis and 5 large squares on the time
axis.
(iii) There should be a minimum of 5 plotted points

between 5 and 8 minutes.
Examiner then checks plotting of points at t0 min,
t5 min and t8 min and the plotting of any suspect
point.
If any of the t0 min, t5 min and t8 min points is missing
check the adjacent point.
Points should be within of a small square of the
correct position and in the correct small square
(iv) Acceptable straight lines drawn an acceptable

straight line is one passing through the majority of
points or has balanced points on either side of the line
and
correct values of the minimum and maximum
temperatures at t = 4 minutes are read (to within
small square) from the graph.
Extrapolation need not be drawn on the graph
(i) No mark.
(ii) The candidate correctly calculates (to sig figs
displayed) the moles of FA 1 used, (cand mass of
FA 1/84)
(iii) The candidate correctly divides their answer to (i) by
their answer to (ii) and by 1000.
Ignore errors in evaluation and sign.
(iv) Award this mark if the candidate has given a +ve sign
and explains that: the reaction is endothermic or heat
is absorbed in the reaction or the temperature falls
during the reaction

Problem
States that the boiling point increases with concentration

because the lowered vapour pressure means that the
temperature has to be raised in order to raise the vapour
pressure to that of the ambient value.
(Accept boiling point is proportional to concentration or reverse).
[1]
Straight-line or curve showing a gradual increase. (This line may

start anywhere).
Ignore any plateau but any line which shows a boiling point
decrease is wrong.
[1]
Line or extrapolated line to begin on the y-axis with the value

100C labelled.
[there is no ecf here from (i) to (ii)]
[1]
Mass / weight / concentration of potassium chloride.
[1]
Temperature / temperature change. Accept boiling point or

change in boiling point.
(Ignore any reference to water but boiling point of potassium
chloride is wrong).
[1]
Give one mark for a diagram which shows some form of heating
(not a water bath, but allow oil-bath or heating mantle) of an
apparatus containing water. (No mark if the apparatus is
sealed). (If the apparatus is obvious labels are not necessary).
[1]
Give one mark for showing the thermometer bulb at the

interface between liquid and vapour (bulb half in and half out of
the liquid).
[1]
Give one mark for showing an appropriate temperature range

for the thermometer (must cover 100C).

Method
Give one mark for a method, which gives details / a list of the
masses / volumes / weights of water to be used along with the
need to have masses of the potassium chloride to produce a
solution, provided that the total mass of water does not exceed
100g.
[1]
Give one mark if at least five different concentrations are

indicated.
(Allow a method based on adding increasing portions of the
solute to one initial mass of water.
First mark for a mass of water 100g or less; second mark for
adding at least five portions of solute, table in (g) will require the
same four headings).
These details may be shown in the expression detailed below.
[1]
Give one mark for the following correct expression.
[1]
Mass of chloride / 74.6 1000 / mass or vol. of water.

(Any or all these marks may be covered in the table in (g).
If there is a correct calculation of molality but the candidate
refers to molarity give the mark, but if then molarity appears in
the table in (g) count this second use as an error.)

Give one mark for identifying boiling water / boiling solution /

hot apparatus / steam or equivalent (ignore risks).
Accept any sensible suggestion that might produce burns.

wrong).

Any statement which clearly indicates that the experiment is

limited by the solution becoming saturated gains one mark.

Methods
A minimum of four columns is required:

Boiling point; mass / volume / weight (not amount) of water;
mass of potassium chloride; (all with correct units); molality
(ignore units here).

correct give one mark; otherwise zero.

Give one mark for correctly plotting the nine points, which must
include both anomalous points.

Give one mark for drawing a straight-line of best fit passing

through the origin. (allow ecf here from incorrectly plotted
points the line may of course now not pass through the origin).

Give one mark if all the anomalous points are circled. There
should be one each side of the line if the plotting is correct. (If
points are misplotted there may be either one or more than two
anomalies. If there are points close to the line judgement will be
needed as to whether these are anomalies or not).

(e)
ACE Data
For each of the two different anomalies an appropriate

explanation gains one mark.
Point 4 (not enough Cu(OH)2): loss of the sulfate solution / not
an excess of NaOH / loss of precipitate / recorded mass of the
sulfate more than the actual value.
Point 8 (too much Cu(OH)2): Cu(OH)2 still wet / contamination
with other chemicals / excess sulfate weighed out / recorded
mass of the sulfate less than the actual value.
There may be other acceptable reasons.

particular anomaly give a salvage one mark).
