General Marking Guidance
/ means that the responses are alternatives and either answer should
receive full credit.
( ) means that a phrase/word is not essential for the award of the
mark, but helps the examiner to get the sense of the expected
answer.
Phrases/words in bold indicate that the meaning of the phrase or the
actual word is essential to the answer.
ecf/TE/cq (error carried forward) means that a wrong answer given in
an earlier part of a question is used correctly in answer to a later part of
the same question.
Candidates must make their meaning clear to the examiner to gain the
mark. Make sure that the answer makes sense. Do not give credit for
correct words/phrases which are put together in a meaningless manner.
Answers must be in the correct context.

Marking point 1:
Mention of the presence of two types of intermolecular force:
London forces/ van der Waals’ forces/dispersion forces and
hydrogen bonds (1)
Marking point 2:
Z-hex-3-en-1-ol is mostly non-polar/
Z-hex-3-en-1-ol has a long/large non polar chain
IGNORE Z-hex-3-en-1-ol is not polar (1)
Marking point 3:
Z-hex-3-en-1-ol forms (strong) London forces/ van der Waals
/dispersion forces (and hydrogen bonds)with ethanol (so dissolves)
(1)
Marking point 4:
London/dispersion /van der Waals’ forces of Z-hex-3-en-1-ol with
water are weak(er) (so it doesn’t dissolve)
OR
hydrogen bonding in water is stronger than the hydrogen bonding in
the other two molecules
OR
water forms two hydrogen bonds per molecule (the other molecules
only form one) (1)
