Determining the concentration of sulphuric acid by thermometric titration. Record the temperature of each solution, taking care to wash and dry the thermometer before measuring the temperature of the second solution. Read the temperature to the nearest 0.5 °C, and record the temperature of each solution in Table 1.1. Calculate the average temperature of the two solutions. Table 1.1 / °C temperature of solution FB 1 temperature of solution FB 2 average temperature [2] Support the plastic cup in a 250 cm3 beaker. Use one of the measuring cylinders to transfer 40 cm3 of FB 2, sodium hydroxide solution, into the plastic cup. Replace the stopper or cover over FB 2 to prevent any reaction of carbon dioxide in the air with the sodium hydroxide. Using the second measuring cylinder transfer 10 cm3 of FB 1, sulphuric acid, into the sodium hydroxide in the plastic cup. Stir the mixture with the thermometer and note the highest temperature obtained. This temperature should be recorded in Table 1.2 for experiment 1. Empty, rinse and dry the plastic cup.

UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL EXAMINATIONS GCE Advanced Subsidiary Level and GCE Advanced Level MARK SCHEME for the October/November 2006 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 instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began. 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. The grade thresholds for various grades are published in the report on the examination for most IGCSE, GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level syllabuses. • CIE will not enter into discussions or correspondence in connection with these mark schemes. CIE is publishing the mark schemes for the October/November 2006 question papers for most IGCSE, GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level syllabuses and some Ordinary Level syllabuses.

Withhold this mark if temperatures are recorded to 2 decimal places. Give one mark if the average temperature, correct to 1 decimal place, has been calculated for FB 1 and FB 2 (do not penalise decimal places twice) and the temperature rise for 0.07 mole (or 0.04 mole if appropriate) has been correctly calculated. [2] Accuracy Record the Supervisor’s standard, ringed, below the temperature rise box for experiment 2 (or experiment 5 if more appropriate). Compare the candidate’s temperature rise (corrected if necessary) for experiment 2 (or experiment 5 if more appropriate) with that obtained by the Supervisor. Award marks as follows: difference in ∆T / °C mark 0 to 0.5 4 0.5+ to 1.0 3 1.0+ to 2.0 2 2.0+ to 3.0 1 Greater than 3.0 0 [4]

Give two marks if all four points have been correctly plotted. Deduct one mark (no negative marks) for each point that has been incorrectly plotted. Also deduct from these two plotting marks (no negative marks) one mark for each of the following graphical errors: (i) moles of NaOH plotted on y-axis and ∆T plotted on the x-axis (ii) measured temperature (T) plotted instead of ∆T (iii) points are plotted in less than 4 large squares on either axis or an inappropriate scale has been selected. [2] (b) Give one mark if two straight lines have been drawn through the points and intersect. Accept two straight lines that meet (and stop) providing there is no free-hand drawing where the lines meet. Do not give this mark if curves have been drawn. If solutions have been carefully prepared there should be 3 points on each straight line with an end point between 0.05 and 0.06 mole of sodium hydroxide. [1] (c) Give one mark for correctly reading (correct to ½ small square) the moles of sodium hydroxide at the end-point from the graph. Accept a value from the intersection of any two straight lines or curves or the maximum of the graph if the two lines have been rounded. [1] Points that are on a vertical line of the grid (moles of NaOH) must be placed on the line – check the position of the centre of the cross or dot. (Penalise an error in the precision of placing an otherwise correct point only once) If uncertain about the position of the centre of a cross or dot check the other plotted points. Apply the penalty if there are two or more uncertainties points on the y-axis (∆T) should be plotted in the correct small square and within ½ small square of the position determined by the Examiner.
