The molar enthalpy of solution of a solid is defi ned as the enthalpy change when one mole of the solid dissolves in water. (a) (i) Predict how the solubility of calcium hydroxide in water changes as the temperature is increased. Explain this prediction using Le Chatelier’s Principle in terms of the equilibrium between the solid calcium hydroxide and the aqueous solution, as shown in the equation below.

4 9701/52/M/J/13 © UCLES 2013 For Examiner’s Use (c) You are to plan an experiment to determine as accurately as possible the concentration of a saturated aqueous solution of calcium hydroxide by titration with hydrochloric acid. You are reminded that the approximate solubility of calcium hydroxide is 1 g dm–3 at 25 °C. The following information gives some of the hazards associated with calcium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid. Hydrochloric acid, HCl (aq) Corrosive; Causes burns: Irritating to respiratory system. Solutions equal to or more concentrated than 6.5 mol dm–3 are corrosive. Solutions equal to or more concentrated than 2 mol dm–3 but more dilute than 6.5 mol dm–3 are said to be irritant. Calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2(s) Irritant; risk of serious damage to eyes. You are provided with the following materials: 250 cm3 of saturated calcium hydroxide, 50 cm3 of 2.00 mol dm–3 hydrochloric acid. Give a step-by-step description of how you would carry out the experiment by including: (i) a balanced equation for the reaction between aqueous calcium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid, (ii) a list of apparatus with volumes where appropriate, (iii) a suitable indicator with relevant colours, (iv) a calculation of the approximate concentration of a saturated aqueous solution of calcium hydroxide in mol dm–3 at 25 °C, [Ar: H, 1.0; O, 16.0; Ca, 40.1] (v) a detailed method for the dilution of the hydrochloric acid such that when a titration is carried out the two reacting volumes are approximately equal at the end-point. The relevant calculations and reasoning must be shown in full. (vi) a detailed method for carrying out suffi cient titrations to allow an accurate end-point to be obtained, (vii) an outline calculation to show how the results are to be used to determine the accurate concentration of the aqueous calcium hydroxide.

8 9701/52/M/J/13 © UCLES 2013 For Examiner’s Use 2 Hydrated copper(II) sulfate can be represented as CuSO4.xH2O where x is the number of molecules of H2O for each CuSO4. When the compound is heated, it loses the molecules of water leaving anhydrous copper(II) sulfate. A suggested equation is: CuSO4.xH2O(s) → CuSO4(s) + xH2O(g) An experiment is carried out to attempt to determine the value of x. ● An open crucible is weighed and the mass recorded. ● A sample of hydrated copper(II) sulfate is added to the crucible and the new mass recorded. ● The crucible with hydrated copper(II) sulfate is heated strongly for fi ve minutes and allowed to cool back to room temperature. ● The crucible with the contents is then reweighed and the mass recorded. (a) Calculate the relative formula masses, Mr, of CuSO4 and H2O. [Ar: H, 1.0; O, 16.0; S, 32.1; Cu, 63.5] [1] (b) The results of several of these experiments are recorded below. Process the results in the table to calculate both the number of moles of anhydrous copper(II) sulfate and the number of moles of water. Record these values in the additional columns of the table. You may use some or all of the columns. Masses should be recorded to two decimal places, while the numbers of moles should be recorded to three signifi cant fi gures. Label the columns you use. For each column you use include units where appropriate and an expression to show how your values are calculated. You may use the column headings A to G for these expressions (e.g. A–B).

CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL EXAMINATIONS GCE Advanced Level MARK SCHEME for the May/June 2013 series 9701 CHEMISTRY 9701/52 Paper 5 (Planning, Analysis and Evaluation), maximum raw mark 30 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.
