1 (a) Titration
Accuracy 8 marks
For the two best titres give:
4 marks for a value within 0.2 cm3 of supervisor
2 marks for a value within 0.3 cm3 of supervisor
1 mark for a value within 0.4 cm3 of supervisor
Concordance 3 marks
Give:
3 marks if all the ticked values are within 0.2 cm3
2 marks if all the ticked values are within 0.3 cm3
1 mark if all the ticked values are within 0.4 cm3
Average 1 mark
Give 1 mark if the candidate calculates a correct average (error not greater than 0.05)
of all his / her ticked values. [12]

Test Notes
General points For precipitate/ppt
allow solid, suspension, powder
For gases

Test 2
(a) bubbles (1)
‘pops’ with a lighted splint (1)
hydrogen (1)
solid disappears (1)
(b) white ppt (1)
insoluble in excess (1)
to score hydrogen mark there must be

Any 19 out of 20 points to score. [19]
R contains sulfuric acid / hydrogen sulfate / H2SO4 (dependent on white ppt insoluble in acid in
test 1 and bubbling in test 2) (1)

This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and candidates, to indicate the requirements of the examination. It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began, which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers. Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the Principal Examiner Report for Teachers. Cambridge will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes.
