2 9701/05/O/N/04 1 In the presence of hydrogen ions, H+, bromate(V) ions, BrO3 –, oxidise bromide ions, Br–, to bromine, Br2. BrO3 –(aq) + 5Br–(aq) + 6H+(aq) →3Br2(aq) + 3H2O(l) The reaction is relatively slow and can be followed by adding aqueous phenol and the indicator methyl orange to the reaction mixture. As bromine is formed it reacts rapidly with the phenol present until the latter is used up. The free bromine now in solution bleaches the methyl orange indicator. The reaction is timed from the mixing of the solutions until the colour of the indicator is lost. You are to investigate how the rate of reaction depends on the concentrations of bromate(V), bromide and hydrogen ions. FB 1 is aqueous phenol containing methyl orange indicator. FB 2 is aqueous potassium bromide, KBr. FB 3 is aqueous potassium bromate(V), KBrO3. FB 4 is 0.50 mol dm–3 sulphuric acid, H2SO4. You will also require a supply of distilled water. (a) Fill the burette labelled FB 1 with the phenol/indicator solution, FB 1, and the burette labelled FB 4 with the sulphuric acid, FB 4. Experiment 1 Run 20 cm3 of FB 1 from the burette into the conical flask. Use measuring cylinder A to add 50 cm3 of FB 2 to the flask. From the second burette, run into the flask 20 cm3 of FB 4. Use measuring cylinder B to measure 50 cm3 of FB 3. Pour the FB 3 from the measuring cylinder into the flask and at the same time start the stop-clock or note the time on a clock. Swirl the flask to ensure a uniform solution and place the flask on the white tile. Stop the clock or note the time when the colour of the indicator just disappears to leave a colourless solution. Record the time, to the nearest second, in Table 1.1 at the top of page 3. Experiment 2 Empty and rinse the flask used in Experiment 1. Shake out as much of the rinse water as possible or dry the flask using a paper towel. Repeat the experiment using the volumes of solution shown in Table 1.1 for Experiment 2. Experiments 3 and 4 Repeat the experiment using the volumes of solution shown in Table 1.1 for each of these experiments and complete the table. It is important that measuring cylinder A is only used for potassium bromide solution, FB 2, and water, and measuring cylinder B only for potassium bromate solution, FB 3.

6 9701/05/O/N/04 2 ASSESSMENT OF PLANNING SKILLS DO NOT CARRY OUT YOUR PLAN (a) You are provided with solid potassium chlorate(V), KClO3, and distilled water. You have available all the apparatus normally used in a school laboratory. Use the information given above to plan an experiment to (i) prepare a solution saturated with potassium chlorate at room temperature, and then (ii) determine the ‘solubility’ of the potassium chlorate in that solution. (i) Preparation of the saturated solution … … … … … … … …[3] The ‘solubility’ of a substance in aqueous solution is defined as the mass of anhydrous solid that will dissolve in and just saturate 100 g of water at a fixed temperature. • ‘Solubility’ changes with temperature. In most cases more solid dissolves at higher temperatures. • A solution that is saturated at a particular temperature is one in which no more solid may be dissolved. • A saturated solution of potassium chlorate(V) can be represented by the equilibrium: KClO3(s) KClO3 (aq) • A saturated solution can be recognised by undissolved solid in equilibrium with aqueous solution.

UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL EXAMINATIONS GCE Advanced Level MARK SCHEME for the November 2004 question paper 9701 CHEMISTRY 9701/05 Paper 5 (Practical Test), maximum raw mark 30 This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and students, to indicate the requirements of the examination. It shows the basis on which Examiners were initially instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began. Any substantial changes to the mark scheme that arose from these discussions will be recorded in the published Report on the Examination. All Examiners are instructed that alternative correct answers and unexpected approaches in candidates’ scripts must be given marks that fairly reflect the relevant knowledge and skills demonstrated. Mark schemes must be read in conjunction with the question papers and the Report on the Examination. • CIE will not enter into discussion or correspondence in connection with these mark schemes. CIE is publishing the mark schemes for the November 2004 question papers for most IGCSE and GCE Advanced Level syllabuses.

For example, if the difference between the B and the E threshold is 24 marks, the C threshold is set 8 marks below the B threshold and the D threshold is set another 8 marks down. If dividing the interval by three results in a fraction of a mark, then the threshold is normally rounded down.

Do not give this mark if timings are given to 0.1 or 0.01 s Do not give this mark if the stop-clock has been read as minute.second e.g. 1.07 The Examiner: Rounds all times to the nearest second if necessary, and Converts times that are clearly in minute.second format to seconds. e.g. 1.07 becomes 67 s (The shortest time recorded should be approaching 60 seconds). 1 Accuracy Marks For each of the Experiments 1 - 3 a (volume x time) value is calculated. For Experiment 1, the Examiner calculates (50 x time in seconds) Record this value in the margin to the left of Table 1.1 and alongside Experiment 1. For Experiment 2, the Examiner calculates (40 x time in seconds) Record this value in the margin to the left of Table 1.1 and alongside Experiment 2.

METHOD A - Preparing a solution by dissolving solid in hot water and cooling to saturate METHOD B - Preparing a solution at room temperature METHOD C - Preparing a solution from weighed solid and weighed/measured water and Three additional methods for determining the solubility METHOD D - Titration method METHOD E - Cooling curve METHOD F - Filtrate method when a fixed mass of water is used in the experiment IN EACH METHOD: Record the letter of the marking point in the script at the point where it is given and place a tick in the grid in the margin. Each point scores one mark — count the ticks and record the total below the grid. Candidates employing different methods for making the saturated solution and for determining the solubility will be seen frequently. Mark each using the appropriate section of the mark scheme. In all calculation sections, allow answers that are in g/100g water, g/g water, g/100 cm3 water or g/cm3 of water.
