    General marking guidance

    ● All candidates must receive the same treatment. Examiners must mark the last candidate in exactly the same way as they mark the first.

    ● Mark schemes should be applied positively. Candidates must be rewarded for what they have shown they can do rather than be penalised for omissions.

    ● Examiners should mark according to the mark scheme – not according to their perception of where the grade boundaries may lie.

    ● All the marks on the mark scheme are designed to be awarded. Examiners should always award full marks if deserved, i.e. if the answer matches the mark scheme. Examiners should also be prepared to award zero marks if the candidate’s response is not worthy of credit according to the mark scheme.

    ● Where some judgement is required, mark schemes will provide the principles by which marks will be awarded and exemplification/indicative content will not be exhaustive.

    ● When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the mark scheme to a candidate’s response, a senior examiner must be consulted before a mark is given.

    ● Crossed-out work should be marked unless the candidate has replaced it with an alternative response.

    (c) When concentrated sulfuric acid, H2SO4, is added to solid sodium bromide, the acid reacts to form a mixture of products, including sulfur dioxide, SO2, and bromine, Br2.

    The conversion of bromide ions to bromine is shown by the half-equation:

    2Br− → Br2 + 2e−

    In parts (c)(i) and (ii), state symbols are not required.

    (i) Write a half-equation to show the formation of SO2 from H2SO4.(1)

    (ii) Hence write an overall equation for the reaction of Br− ions with H2SO4.(1)

    (iii) Deduce the role of Br− ions in the reaction in (c)(ii).(1)

    (d) A student compares the reaction of solid sodium chloride and solid sodium iodide with concentrated sulfuric acid by adding 1 cm3 of acid to separate samples of the solid halides in test tubes.

    (i) The reaction between solid sodium chloride and concentrated sulfuric acid produces steamy fumes. Identify the product responsible for this observation.

    (ii) Solid sodium iodide also reacts with concentrated sulfuric acid. Steamy fumes are produced initially, but a second reaction then takes place.

    Give an observation that you would expect the student to make in this second reaction, and write appropriate equations to show the overall reaction taking place.

    8 A sample of trichloroethanoic acid was supplied to a laboratory by a chemical manufacturer. A technician at the laboratory was asked to check whether the percentage purity by mass of the acid was 99.9% as claimed on the label.

    The technician used a titration method to determine the purity of the acid. The technician followed this method:

    · The technician placed an empty glass bottle on a balance · After zeroing the balance, the technician added a sample of trichloroethanoic

    acid to the bottle · The technician recorded the balance reading, accurate to 1 d.p., as 6.2 g · The technician transferred the acid to a beaker and dissolved the acid in a small

    volume of distilled water · The technician poured this solution into a 250 cm3 volumetric flask and made the

    solution level up to the mark with distilled water · The technician filled a burette with the acid solution · Using a pipette, 25.0 cm3 of 0.130 mol dm–3 sodium hydroxide solution was

    transferred to a conical flask · Several 25.0 cm3 samples of the sodium hydroxide solution were titrated with the acid

    solution and the results were recorded.

    (b) Trichloroethanoic acid has the formula CCl3COOH.

    The equation for the reaction with sodium hydroxide is:

    CCl3COOH(aq) + NaOH(aq) → CCl3COONa(aq) + H2O(l)

    (i) Calculate the concentration of trichloroethanoic acid in g dm–3. Give your answer to one decimal place.

    (ii) The total percentage error for the experiment can be estimated by adding together the four percentage errors.

    Explain whether the manufacturer’s claim that the acid is 99.9% pure is correct.

    Use your answer to (b)(ii) and the total percentage error for this experiment. (2)
