Downloaded from hlayiso.com Physical Sciences/P2 2 NW/September 2015 NSC — Memorandum GENERAL GUIDELINES 1. CALCULATIONS 1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6 1.7 Award marks for: correct formula, correct substitution and correct answer with unit. Do not award any marks if an incorrect or inappropriate formula is used, even though there may be relevant symbols and applicable substitutions. When an error is made during substitution into a correct formula, award a mark for the correct formula and for the correct substitutions, but do not give any further marks. If no formula is given, but all substitutions are correct, the candidate forfeits one mark. Example: No K, expression, correct substitution: =O ve ov 2. “oa” * ? G Marks are only awarded for a formula if a calculation has been attempted, i.e. substitutions have been made or a numerical answer is given. Marks can only be allocated for substitutions when values are substituted into formulae and not when listed before a calculation starts. All calculations, when not specified in the question, must be done correctly to TWO decimal places. 2. DEFINITIONS Award TWO marks for a correct definition. Do not award any marks for an incorrect or partially correct definition. 3. UNITS 3.1 3.2 Candidates must be penalised only once for the repeated use of an incorrect unit within a question or subquestion. Units are only required in the final answer of a calculation.

Downloaded from hlayiso.com Physical Sciences/P2 3 NW/September 2015 NSC — Memorandum 3.3. Award marks for an answer only and not for a unit per se. Candidates forfeit the mark allocated for the answer in each of the following situations: - Garrect answer + wrong unit - Wrong answer + correct unit - Correct answer + no unit 3.4 Separate compound units with a multiplication dot, not a full stop, for example, mol:dm’. Accept mol.dm® (or mol/dm*) for marking purposes. 4, GENERAL 4.1 _ If one answer or calculation is required, but the candidate gives two, mark only the first one, irrespective of which one is correct. If two answers are required, mark only the first two, etc. 4.2 When achemical FORMULA is asked, and the NAME is given as answer, the candidate forfeits the marks. The same rule applies when the NAME is asked and the FORMULA is given. 4.3. When redox half-reactions are to be written, the correct arrow should be used. If the equation HS +S+2H*+20 (34) is the correct answer, the marks must be given as follows: HS =S+2H*+2e (4) HS —S+2H*+2e (%) S + 2H’ +2e —H,S (%) S +2H* + 2e = HS (%) 4.4 When candidates are required to give an explanation involving the relative strength of oxidising and reducing agents, do not accept the following: Stating the position of a substance on table 4 only (e.g. Cu is above Mg). Using relative reactivity only (e.g. Mg is more reactive than Cu). The correct answer would be for instance: Mg is a stronger reducing agent than Cu and therefore Mg will be able to reduce Cu** ions to Cu. The answer can also be given in terms of the relative strength as electron acceptors and donors. Copyright reserved Please turn over
Downloaded from hlayiso.com Physical Sciences/P2 4 NW/September 2015 45 46 4.7 4.8 4.9 4.10 NSC — Memorandum One mark is forfeited when the charge of an ion is omitted per equation. The error carrying principle does not apply to chemical equations or half reactions. For example, if a learner writes the wrong oxidation/reaction haif- reaction in the subquestion and carries the answer to another sub-question (balancing of equations or calculation of E:.,) then the learner must not be credited for this substitution. In the structural formula of an organic molecule all hydrogen atoms must be shown. Marks must be deducted if hydrogen atoms are omitted. When a structural formula is asked, marks must be deducted if the learner writes the condensed formula. When an IUPAC name is asked and the candidate omits the hyphen (e.g. instead of pent-1-ene or 1-pentene the candidate writes pent 1 ene or 1 pentene), marks must be forfeited. When a chemical reaction is asked, marks are awarded for correct reactants, correct products and correct balancing. If only a reactant(s) followed by an arrow, or only a product(s) preceded by an arrow is/are written, marks may be awarded for the reactant(s) or product(s). If only a reactant(s) or only a product(s) is written without an arrow, no marks are awarded for the reactant(s) or product(s). Example: No + 3H2v —» 2NHs” bal. W No + 3H, —»¥ 1/3 —> NH3Y 1/3 No + 3He 0/3 NH3 0/3 5. POSITIVE MARKING Positive marking regarding calculations is followed in the following cases: 5.1 Subquestion to subquestion: When a certain variable is calculated in one subquestion (e.g. 3.1) and needs to be substituted in another (3.2 or 3.3), e.g. if the answer for 3.1 is incorrect and is substituted correctly in 3.2 or 3.3, full marks must be awarded for the subsequent subquestions.
