2 9701/23/O/N/12 © UCLES 2012 For Examiner’s Use Answer all the questions in the spaces provided. 1 Carbon dioxide, CO2, makes up about 0.040 % of the Earth’s atmosphere. It is produced by animal respiration and by the combustion of fossil fuels. In animal respiration, oxygen reacts with a carbohydrate such as glucose to give water, carbon dioxide and energy. The typical daily food requirement of a human can be considered to be the equivalent of 1.20 kg of glucose, C6H12O6. You should express all of your numerical answers in this question to three signifi cant fi gures. (a) (i) Construct a balanced equation for the complete oxidation of glucose. … (ii) Use your equation to calculate the amount, in moles, of CO2 produced by one person in one day from 1.20 kg of glucose. (iii) On the day on which this question was written, the World population was estimated to be 6.82 × 109. Calculate the total mass of CO2 produced by this number of people in one day. Give your answer in tonnes. [1 tonne = 1.00 ×106 g] [5]

The hydrocarbon octane, C8H18, can be used to represent the fuel burned in motor cars. A typical fuel-effi cient motor car uses about 4.00 dm3 of fuel to travel 100 km. (i) Construct a balanced equation for the complete combustion of octane. … (ii) The density of octane is 0.700 g cm–3. Calculate the amount, in moles, of octane present in 4.00 dm3 of octane. (iii) Calculate the mass of CO2 produced when the fuel-effi cient car is driven for a distance of 100 km. [5] (c) Calculate how many kilometres the same fuel-effi cient car would have to travel in order to produce as much CO2 as is produced by the respiration of 6.82 × 109 people during one day. Use your answer to (a)(iii). [2] (d) Carbon dioxide is one of a number of gases that are responsible for global warming. When fossil fuels such as octane are burned in a car engine, other atmospheric pollutants are also produced. Give the formula of one atmospheric pollutant that may be produced in a car engine, other than CO2, and state how this pollutant damages the environment. pollutant … damage caused … [2] [Total: 14]

6 9701/23/O/N/12 © UCLES 2012 For Examiner’s Use 3 Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the Universe, although on Earth only very small quantities of molecular hydrogen have been found to occur naturally. Hydrogen is manufactured on a large scale for use in the chemical industry and is also regarded as a possible fuel to replace fossil fuels in internal combustion engines. (a) State one large scale use of hydrogen in the chemical industry. … [1] One common way of producing hydrogen on a large scale for use in the chemical industry is by the steam ‘reforming’ of methane (natural gas), in which steam and methane are passed over a catalyst at 1000–1400 K to produce carbon monoxide and hydrogen. CH4(g) + H2O(g) CO(g) + 3H2(g) ∆H = +206 kJ mol–1 (b) Use the information above to state and explain the effect on the equilibrium position of the following changes.

CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL EXAMINATIONS GCE Advanced Subsidiary Level and GCE Advanced Level MARK SCHEME for the October/November 2012 series 9701 CHEMISTRY 9701/23 Paper 2 (AS Structured Questions), maximum raw mark 60 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. Cambridge is publishing the mark schemes for the October/November 2012 series for most IGCSE, GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level components and some Ordinary Level components.
