2 9701/52/M/J/16 © UCLES 2016 1 A more reactive metal will displace a less reactive metal from a solution of its salt. This reaction is exothermic. If the same reaction is set up in an electrochemical cell then, instead of an enthalpy change, electrical energy is produced and a cell voltage can be measured. You are to plan an investigation of the reaction of three different metals (magnesium, iron and zinc) with aqueous copper(II) sulfate. You will plan to investigate whether there is a relationship between their cell potential values, , and their enthalpy changes of reaction, ∆Hr. Mg(s) + Cu2+(aq) → Mg2+(aq) + Cu(s) Fe(s) + Cu2+(aq) → Fe2+(aq) + Cu(s) Zn(s) + Cu2+(aq) → Zn2+(aq) + Cu(s) Copper(II) sulfate solution is classified as a moderate hazard. Zinc sulfate solution is classified as corrosive. Iron(II) sulfate solution is classified as a health hazard. (a) Predict how ∆Hr may change as increases.

The injected volatile liquid vaporises and the volume of vapour is recorded. The experiment can be repeated using different samples of the same volatile liquid. The following mathematical relationship can be used to calculate the relative molecular mass if the experiment is carried out at 100 °C and 1.01 × 105 Pa. V = 3.07 × 104 × m Mr m is the mass of the volatile liquid in g. V is the volume of the volatile liquid in cm3 when vaporised. A graph of V against m can be plotted. A group of students is given a volatile liquid hydrocarbon, Y, and asked to find its relative molecular mass in a series of experiments using this procedure. • A 100 cm3 gas syringe is placed in a steam jacket. • Approximately 5 cm3 of air is pulled into the gas syringe. • The temperature is allowed to reach a constant 100 °C. • Once the air in the gas syringe has stopped expanding, its volume is recorded. • The hypodermic syringe is filled with liquid Y. • The total mass of the hypodermic syringe and liquid Y is recorded. • A little liquid Y is injected into the hot gas syringe. • The total mass of the hypodermic syringe is recorded again. • The maximum volume of air and vapour in the gas syringe is recorded. • The mass of liquid Y injected into the gas syringe is calculated and recorded.

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.
