2 9701/21/M/J/13 © UCLES 2013 For Examiner’s Use Answer all the questions in the spaces provided. 1 A sample of a fertiliser was known to contain ammonium sulfate, (NH4)2SO4, and sand only. A 2.96 g sample of the solid fertiliser was heated with 40.0 cm3 of NaOH(aq), an excess, and all of the ammonia produced was boiled away. After cooling, the remaining NaOH(aq) was exactly neutralised by 29.5 cm3 of 2.00 mol dm–3 HCl. In a separate experiment, 40.0 cm3 of the original NaOH(aq) was exactly neutralised by 39.2 cm3 of the 2.00 mol dm–3 HCl. (a) (i) Write balanced equations for the following reactions. NaOH with HCl … (NH4)2SO4 with NaOH … (ii) Calculate the amount, in moles, of NaOH present in the 40.0 cm3 of the original NaOH(aq) that was neutralised by 39.2 cm3 of 2.00 mol dm–3 HCl. (iii) Calculate the amount, in moles, of NaOH present in the 40.0 cm3 of NaOH(aq) that remained after boiling the (NH4)2SO4. (iv) Use your answers to (ii) and (iii) to calculate the amount, in moles, of NaOH that reacted with the (NH4)2SO4.

CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL EXAMINATIONS GCE Advanced Subsidiary Level and GCE Advanced Level MARK SCHEME for the May/June 2013 series 9701 CHEMISTRY 9701/21 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 May/June 2013 series for most IGCSE, GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level components and some Ordinary Level components.
