Both of the solids, manganese(IV) oxide and lead(IV) oxide, will catalyse the decomposition. The following information gives some of the hazards associated with manganese(IV) oxide and lead(IV) oxide. Manganese(IV) oxide: Poisoning can occur by inhalation or swallowing the powder. Lead(IV) oxide: Poisoning can occur by inhalation or swallowing the powder. The powder can also cause skin irritation. You are provided with a 0.300 mol dm–3 solution of hydrogen peroxide and a syringe with a capacity of 100 cm3. (a) Provide the following information about experiments you would carry out to collect oxygen from the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and to determine, using identical masses, which of the two catalysts was the most effi cient at promoting this decomposition: ● a fully labelled diagram of the apparatus to be used that would ensure that no oxygen would be lost when the experiment was carried out, ● a calculation of the maximum volume in cm3 of the aqueous hydrogen peroxide that could be used such that the oxygen produced would not exceed the volume of the syringe, ● a statement of the measurements you would take that would allow you to say which of the catalysts was most efficient. The molar volume of a gas at 25 °C is 24.0 dm3. Please continue into the space provided on the next page if necessary.

6 9701/53/O/N/13 © UCLES 2013 For Examiner’s Use 3 In the fractional distillation of two liquids which are miscible (dissolve in each other) in all proportions the more volatile of the two will distil fi rst. At any temperature the composition of the vapour in equilibrium with the liquid has a higher proportion of the more volatile component which has a lower boiling point. An experiment was carried out to investigate the boiling points of mixtures of tetrachloromethane, CCl 4,and tetrachloroethane, C2H2Cl 4. A convenient method for representing the composition of the mixtures, both liquid and vapour, is to use the concept of mole fraction. For example, if the liquid mixture consists of 0.15 mole of liquid A and 0.35 mole of liquid B, the mole fraction of A is 0.15 i.e. 0.30. (0.15 + 0.35) (a) The results of several of these experiments are recorded below. temperature / °C 120.0 108.5 99.3 93.0 89.3 83.3 79.9 76.0 mole fraction CCl 4 liquid 0.000 0.100 0.200 0.300 0.400 0.600 0.800 1.000 mole fraction CCl 4 vapour 0.000 0.469 0.552 0.800 0.861 0.918 0.958 1.000 Calculate the relative molecular masses (Mrs) of CCl 4 and C2H2Cl 4. [Ar: H, 1.0; C, 12.0; Cl, 35.5] [1] (b) (i) The vapour from the equilibrium at 108.5 °C was analysed and found to consist of 7.22 g of CCl 4 and 8.92 g of C2H2Cl 4. Show clearly by calculation that this gives a mole fraction of 0.469 for CCl 4 vapour. (ii) The vapour from the equilibrium at 83.3 °C was analysed and found to consist of 14.14 g of CCl 4 and 1.38 g of C2H2Cl 4. Show clearly by calculation that this gives a mole fraction of 0.918 for CCl 4 vapour. [2]

If the thermometer had only been calibrated in 1.0 °C graduations, calculate the percentage errors which would result from the determination of the boiling points of each of the two pure liquids.

CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL EXAMINATIONS GCE Advanced Level MARK SCHEME for the October/November 2013 series 9701 CHEMISTRY 9701/53 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 October/November 2013 series for most IGCSE, GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level components and some Ordinary Level components.
