Using the mark scheme
Examiners should look for qualities to reward rather than faults to penalise. This does NOT
mean giving credit for incorrect or inadequate answers, but it does mean allowing candidates
to be rewarded for answers showing correct application of principles and knowledge.
Examiners should therefore read carefully and consider every response: even if it is not what
is expected it may be worthy of credit.
/ 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.

Number
1(a) An answer that makes reference to the following points: (2)
two test tube with drops coming from them (1) Allow any container e.g. beaker, round bottomed
flask
a hand and a piece of metal / wood / description of The piece of metal / wood could be described in
the rectangle with bits missing many ways
(1)
silver chloride is soluble in dilute ammonia (1) Allow precipitate with chloride is soluble in dilute
ammonia
silver bromide is insoluble in dilute ammonia Allow precipitate with bromide is insoluble in
OR dilute ammonia
silver bromide is soluble in concentrated ammonia (1) Allow sparingly soluble for insoluble
because a green precipitate is formed (1) Allow brown precipitate / ppt / ppte / solid
Allow just ‘formation of a green precipitate’
Allow just ‘Fe2+ (ions) form a precipitate’
Allow Fe(OH)2 / iron(II) hydroxide /
Fe(H2O)4(OH)2 is formed
Ignore incorrect formulae including incorrect metal
ions, e.g. Chromium complexes
which does not redissolve in excess ammonia Allow TE on a different coloured precipitate (e.g.
white)
OR Allow more than one precipitates makes it hard to
see dissolving / identify the anion
and so the dissolving / behaviour of the silver
halide precipitate is obscured (1) Ignore just ‘interfere with the result’
Answer must include a comment regarding
dissolving or behaviour of the precipitate, not just
‘make it hard to investigate’ or ‘the results are not
clear’
because propanone does not completely stop the Ignore reference to temperature
reaction / the reaction continues (but at a slower
rate) (1)
ethanol is a co-solvent / dissolves the 2-chloro-2- (1) Allow 2-chloro-2-methylpropane is immiscible with
methylpropane and the sodium hydroxide / water
dissolves both reagents Ignore just ‘ethanol is a solvent’
so the use of ethanol allows the reactants to mix Do not award ethanol acts as a catalyst
together (and more collisions to occur) Do not award ethanol provides OH‒ ions
Or
so the reactants can only meet at the junction Ignore all reference to intermolecular forces /
between the layers / cannot mix together in the hydrogen bonds
same solution (and fewer collisions occur) (1) Ignore answers related to increasing rate without
justification in terms of improved mixing

3(c) An answer that makes reference to three of the following Ignore additional practical points even if (3)
points: incorrect
swirl / shake / stir the conical flask Allow any shake etc. continuous or occasional

reaction / Ignore comments about yield without link to
complete reaction
or Ignore without heat the reaction cannot happen
(without heating) the reaction is too slow /
does not have a reasonable rate (1)
because the reaction between ethanoyl chloride (1) Allow the reaction is (very) exothermic
and water is vigorous Allow the reaction is violent
Allow dissolving of HCl is (very) exothermic
this prevents rapid evolution of (toxic) HCl gas / Allow this prevents rapid / uncontrolled production
loss of volatile substances (1) of bubbles / effervescence
Ignore to avoid spitting
Ignore causing an explosion
Ignore cracking of glassware
