MARKING GUIDELINES
Time: 3 hours 200 marks
These marking guidelines are prepared for use by examiners and sub-
examiners, all of whom are required to attend a standardisation meeting to
ensure that the guidelines are consistently interpreted and applied in the
marking of candidates' scripts.
The IEB will not enter into any discussions or correspondence about any marking
guidelines. It is acknowledged that there may be different views about some
matters of emphasis or detail in the guidelines. It is also recognised that,
without the benefit of attendance at a standardisation meeting, there may be
different interpretations of the application of the marking guidelines.

2.1 n=

n=
( 6, 5 )
( 27 )
n = 0,24 mol
2.2 For Aℓ to be the limiting reagent, the amount of NaOH needed is:
6
n (NaOH needed) = (0,24) × 2 = 0,72 mol
Amount of NaOH actually present: n = cV = (2,6)(0,4) =1,04 mol
There is (more than) enough NaOH to fully react with the Aℓ
OR
Amount of NaOH present: n = cV = (2,6)(0,4) =1,04 mol
IF NaOH were the limiting reagent, then the amount of Aℓ needed would be:
2
n(Al needed) = (1,04) × 6 = 0,347 mol
There is not enough Aℓ to fully react with the NaOH
OR
Amount of NaOH present: n = cV = (2,6)(0,4) =1,04 mol
Mole ratio of (Al) : n(NaOH) = 0,24 : 1,04 = 1 : 4,33
This is greater than the actual mole ratio of 1 : 3

OR
Amount of NaOH present: n = cV = (2,6)(0,4) =1,04 mol
3
Maximum amount of H2 produced by Aℓ = 0,24 × 2 = 0,36 mol
3
Maximum amount of H2 produced by NaOH = 1,04 × 6 = 0,52 mol
OR
3
Maximum amount of Na3AℓO3 produced by Aℓ = 0,24 × 2 = 0,36 mol
3
Maximum amount of Na3AℓO3 produced by NaOH = 1,04 × 6 = 0,52 mol
NaOH would produce more product (if completely consumed), so must be
in excess.
2
2.3 Theoretical n(Na3AℓO3) = (0,24) × 2 = 0,24 mol
actual n(Na3AℓO3) = theoretical n(Na3AℓO3) × 92%
92
actual n(Na3AℓO3) = (0,24) × 100 = 0,2208 mol
n (0,2208 )
c =V= (0,4 )
= 0,55 mol⋅dm–3
2.4 2.4.1 A reaction that transforms chemical potential energy into thermal
energy.
2.4.2 The energy released is greater than the energy absorbed.
2.5 2.5.1 The sum of the kinetic energy (of the reacting particles) is more than
the activation energy.
2.5.2 • A decrease in concentration means that there are less (solute)
particles per unit volume
• This results in fewer collisions (between reacting particles) per
unit time
• Thus, there are fewer effective (or successful) collisions per unit
time
• This results in a lower reaction rate
2.6 Remain the same

QUESTION 3
3.1 • As the hydrogen molecules approach each other (get close)
• there is a dispersion of the electrons in each hydrogen molecule
• resulting in induced dipoles forming
• which are then able to attract each other
OR
• As a result of the random movement of electrons, a temporary
(instantaneous) dipole is set up in one hydrogen molecule
• dispersing the electrons in the other (neighbouring) hydrogen molecule
• resulting in an induced dipole forming
• the two temporary dipoles are then able to attract each other

QUESTION 4
4.1 NO2 was removed (concentration of NO2 decreased)
4.2 • Stress: decrease in concentration of NO2
• Le Châtelier's principle predicts the system will respond to counteract
the stress and so increase the concentration of NO2
• Thus, the forward reaction is (initially) favoured as it produces
NO2
• resulting in a decrease in the amount of reactants (NO and O2) and an
increase in the amounts of products (NO2) as seen in the graph
4.3 The same

[NO2 ] = 20, 6559
n ( NO=

cV ( 20, 6559 )( 3=) 61,97mol
4.6 • Stress: increase in temperature
• Le Châtelier's principle predicts the system will respond to counteract
the stress and so decrease the temperature
• Thus, the endothermic reaction is favoured as it consumes heat
• From the graph, we see that there is an increase in the amount of
reactants (NO and O2) and a decrease in the amount of products (NO2)
• Thus, the reverse reaction has been favoured
• Therefore, the reverse reaction is endothermic

5.1 It dissociates completely.
5.2 A solution of known concentration.
5.3 n = cV

5.4 Endothermic as the value of Kw is greater than 10−14.
5.5 Kw = [H3O +][OH –]
(1,44 × 10–14) = [H3O +](0,24)

QUESTION 7
7.1 A concentrated aqueous solution of sodium chloride (NaCℓ).
7.2 Q
7.3 7.3.1 2Cℓ− → Cℓ2 + 2e−
7.3.2 • H2O has a more negative electrode potential than Cℓ− (OR H2O is
a stronger reducing agent than Cℓ−)
• Therefore, H2O would be more likely to be oxidised under
standard conditions
• However, the high concentration of Cℓ− ions increases the rate of
its oxidation (OR makes its electrode potential more negative),
making the oxidation of Cℓ− predominant
7.3.3 Oxygen / O2
7.4 • A membrane does not allow Cℓ− ions to pass through and so the NaOH
solution will NOT be contaminated with Cℓ−/NaCℓ.
OR
• A diaphragm does allow Cℓ− ions to pass through and so the NaOH
solution will be contaminated with Cℓ−/NaCℓ.
7.5 7.5.1 H2
7.5.2 Increase the surface area
7.6 • Both chorine and hydrogen have London forces only
• Chlorine has more electrons
• producing larger temporary dipoles
• Therefore, chlorine has stronger London forces
• resulting in more energy required to overcome the intermolecular forces
and separate the particles in chlorine
• thus, chlorine has a higher boiling point
