propan-1-ol propan-2-ol (4)
3.2.2 propan-1-ol (1)
of the –OH group in a chain will influence the boiling point,
3.2.3 The position
because of the role of the intermolecular forces in branched structure.
OR
For a fair test, all alcohols need to be primary alcohols. (1)
3.3 3.3.1 The melting point of butan-1-ol will be higher.
Reasons:
The hydrogen bond between butan-1-ol molecules are stronger than
between the butan-2-ol molecules, because the hydroxyl group is
more exposed in the butan-1-ol than in the butan-2-ol, which causes
the hydrogen bond to have a stronger influence.
More energy is required to weaken IM Forces between the butan-1-ol
molecules, causing a higher melting point.
Straight chains have a higher melting point than branched chains.
OR
Butan-1-ol has a larger surface area (chain length)
Therefore stronger IMF
More energy needed to overcome IMF
Any TWO reasons (3)

3.3.2 Butan-2-ol
Reasons:
If the hydroxyl group is on a terminal carbon atom, the intermolecular
force (hydrogen bond) is stronger than when the –OH group is on the
second carbon atom, where it is screened and has a smaller
influence on the energy needed to cause a phase change (boil) in the
second isomer, the butan-2-ol.
The boiling point of butan-2-ol will be lower and therefore the vapour
pressure of butan-2-ol will be higher than the butan-1-ol. Less
energy required to overcome the hydrogen bonds and to weaken the
bonds.
Any TWO reasons (3)
3.3.3 Increase (1)
3.3.4 Van der Waals forces (London forces) increase with an increase in
molecular mass / chain length / size of molecule.
The longer the chain, the higher the boiling point, the stronger the
London forces. (2)

5.1 5.1.1 Use powdered CaCO3 instead of lumps
Use of a more concentrated HCℓ solution
Heat the reaction mixture
Add a suitable catalyst
Any THREE ways (3)
5.1.2 Measure rate of CO2 formed by measuring the volume produced at certain
time intervals.
Measure the rate at which the mass decreases, by placing the reaction
container on a sensitive mass-meter and record the decrease in the mass
per unit time. (4)
5.1.3 It is not a closed system.
The CO2 gas escapes from the reaction. (2)
5.2 5.2.1 5 cm3 / min OR 5 cm3 / min–1 (1)
5.2.2 Steeper gradient (1)
5.2.3 The rate of production of hydrogen gas will be faster per unit time
because the reaction proceeds at a higher rate at a higher temperature. (2)
5.2.4 The rate of production of hydrogen gas will increase as the length / surface
area of the magnesium ribbon increases.
DO NOT ACCEPT: Graph is directly proportional; does not go through the
origin. (2)

QUESTION 6
6.1 If a stress is applied to a system in equilibrium, the system will respond in such a
way as to relieve the stress and restore the equilibrium under a new set of
conditions. (2)
6.2 6.2.1 A (1)
6.2.2 The forward reaction is endothermic. Decreasing the temperature from the
equilibrium system favours the reverse reaction. The reverse reaction is
an exothermic reaction. Therefore more iodine and hydrogen molecules are
formed and less HI will be in the reaction mixture. (3)
6.3 6.3.1 Kc = [H3O+][CH3COO-]
= (1,34 x 10-3)( 1,34 x 10-3)
= 1,80 x 10-6 (3)
6.3.2 INCREASES. (1)
6.3.3 When sodium ethanoate, CH3COONa, dissolves in aqueous ethanoic
(acetic) acid, CH3COOH, it dissociates into Na + ions and acetate ions,
CH3COO-. The acetate ion increases the total acetate ion concentration in
the solution. The equilibrium re-establishes to the left and more ethanoic
(acetic) acid forms, decreasing the [H3O+] concentration, therefore the pH
increases. (3)

The light bulb is manufactured to operate effectively if it is connected to a
source of 3 V which delivers a current of 2 A. Although the potential
difference is sufficiently large, the current is probably too small (due to a too
large internal cell resistance). (3)
