2 9701/35/M/J/22 © UCLES 2022 Quantitative analysis Read through the whole method before starting any practical work. Where appropriate, prepare a table for your results in the space provided. Show the precision of the apparatus you used in the data you record. Show your working and appropriate significant figures in the final answer to each step of your calculations. 1 Basic copper(II) carbonate contains both copper(II) carbonate, CuCO3, and copper(II) hydroxide, Cu(OH)2. The ratio of these two components can be different in samples from different sources. This means that the formula of basic copper(II) carbonate can be written as CuCO3•xCu(OH)2. Both the carbonate and the hydroxide react with acids. CuCO3(s) + 2HCl (aq) → CuCl 2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l) Cu(OH)2(s) + 2HCl (aq) → CuCl 2(aq) + 2H2O(l) You will determine the value of x in a sample of basic copper(II) carbonate by reacting it with excess acid and measuring the mass of carbon dioxide given off. FA 1 is basic copper(II) carbonate, CuCO3•xCu(OH)2. FA 2 is 2.0 mol dm–3 hydrochloric acid, HCl. (a) Method ● Use the 25 cm3 measuring cylinder to transfer 25.0 cm3 of FA 2 into a conical flask. ● Weigh the flask with the acid. Record the mass. ● Weigh the container with FA 1. Record the mass. ● Carefully tip all of FA 1 into the acid in the conical flask. Swirl the contents of the flask and leave the flask to stand. ● Weigh the container with any residual FA 1. Record the mass. ● Calculate and record the mass of FA 1 added to the flask. ● Calculate and record the theoretical initial mass of flask + acid + FA 1. ● Swirl the flask occasionally. Weigh the flask and contents after approximately 5 minutes. Record the mass. During this step you may wish to continue with Question 2 or Question 3. ● Calculate and record the mass of carbon dioxide given off during the experiment. Results [4] I II III IV

4 9701/35/M/J/22 © UCLES 2022 2 In Question 1 you found the value of x in the formula of basic copper(II) carbonate, CuCO3•xCu(OH)2. You will now use another method to find the value of x. Copper(II) ions oxidise iodide ions to produce iodine. 2Cu2+(aq) + 4I–(aq) → I2(aq) + 2CuI(s) The amount of iodine produced can be found by titration with aqueous thiosulfate ions, S2O3 2–. 2S2O3 2–(aq) + I2(aq) → S4O6 2–(aq) + 2I–(aq) FA 3 contains Cu2+(aq). It was made by reacting 10.40 g of CuCO3•xCu(OH)2 with excess dilute sulfuric acid and making the solution up to 1.00 dm3 with distilled water. FA 4 is 0.100 mol dm–3 sodium thiosulfate, Na2S2O3. FA 5 is aqueous potassium iodide, KI. FA 6 is starch indicator. (a) Method ● Fill the burette with FA 4. ● Pipette 25.0 cm3 of FA 3 into a conical flask. ● Rinse the 25 cm3 measuring cylinder with approximately 5 cm3 of FA 5. Discard the solution used for rinsing. ● Use the 25 cm3 measuring cylinder to add 15 cm3 of FA 5, an excess of KI, to the conical flask. The solution will turn brown because iodine is formed. ● Add FA 4 from the burette until the mixture changes to pale brown. ● Add approximately 10 drops of FA 6. The mixture will turn blue-black. ● Continue adding FA 4 from the burette until the blue-black colour disappears to leave an off-white solid. This is the end-point of the titration. ● Carry out a rough titration and record your burette readings in the space below. The rough titre is … cm3. ● Carry out as many accurate titrations as you think necessary to obtain consistent results. ● Make certain any recorded results show the precision of your practical work. ● Record in a suitable form below, all your burette readings and the volume of FA 4 added in each accurate titration.

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 International will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes. Cambridge International is publishing the mark schemes for the May/June 2022 series for most Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge International A and AS Level and Cambridge Pre-U components, and some Cambridge O Level components.

9701/35 Cambridge International AS & A Level – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2022 © UCLES 2022 Page 2 of 10 Generic Marking Principles These general marking principles must be applied by all examiners when marking candidate answers. They should be applied alongside the specific content of the mark scheme or generic level descriptors for a question. Each question paper and mark scheme will also comply with these marking principles. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 1: Marks must be awarded in line with: the specific content of the mark scheme or the generic level descriptors for the question the specific skills defined in the mark scheme or in the generic level descriptors for the question the standard of response required by a candidate as exemplified by the standardisation scripts. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 2: Marks awarded are always whole marks (not half marks, or other fractions). GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 3: Marks must be awarded positively: marks are awarded for correct/valid answers, as defined in the mark scheme. However, credit is given for valid answers which go beyond the scope of the syllabus and mark scheme, referring to your Team Leader as appropriate marks are awarded when candidates clearly demonstrate what they know and can do marks are not deducted for errors marks are not deducted for omissions answers should only be judged on the quality of spelling, punctuation and grammar when these features are specifically assessed by the question as indicated by the mark scheme. The meaning, however, should be unambiguous. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 4: Rules must be applied consistently, e.g. in situations where candidates have not followed instructions or in the application of generic level descriptors.
Mark scheme, page 3
9701/35 Cambridge International AS & A Level – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2022 © UCLES 2022 Page 3 of 10 GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 5: Marks should be awarded using the full range of marks defined in the mark scheme for the question (however; the use of the full mark range may be limited according to the quality of the candidate responses seen). GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 6: Marks awarded are based solely on the requirements as defined in the mark scheme. Marks should not be awarded with grade thresholds or grade descriptors in mind. Science-Specific Marking Principles 1 Examiners should consider the context and scientific use of any keywords when awarding marks. Although keywords may be present, marks should not be awarded if the keywords are used incorrectly. 2 The examiner should not choose between contradictory statements given in the same question part, and credit should not be awarded for any correct statement that is contradicted within the same question part. Wrong science that is irrelevant to the question should be ignored. 3 Although spellings do not have to be correct, spellings of syllabus terms must allow for clear and unambiguous separation from other syllabus terms with which they may be confused (e.g. ethane / ethene, glucagon / glycogen, refraction / reflection). 4 The error carried forward (ecf) principle should be applied, where appropriate. If an incorrect answer is subsequently used in a scientifically correct way, the candidate should be awarded these subsequent marking points. Further guidance will be included in the mark scheme where necessary and any exceptions to this general principle will be noted. 5 ‘List rule’ guidance For questions that require n responses (e.g. State two reasons …): The response should be read as continuous prose, even when numbered answer spaces are provided. Any response marked ignore in the mark scheme should not count towards n. Incorrect responses should not be awarded credit but will still count towards n. Read the entire response to check for any responses that contradict those that would otherwise be credited. Credit should not be awarded for any responses that are contradicted within the rest of the response. Where two responses contradict one another, this should be treated as a single incorrect response. Non-contradictory responses after the first n responses may be ignored even if they include incorrect science.
Mark scheme, page 4
9701/35 Cambridge International AS & A Level – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2022 © UCLES 2022 Page 4 of 10 6 Calculation specific guidance Correct answers to calculations should be given full credit even if there is no working or incorrect working, unless the question states ‘show your working’. For questions in which the number of significant figures required is not stated, credit should be awarded for correct answers when rounded by the examiner to the number of significant figures given in the mark scheme. This may not apply to measured values. For answers given in standard form (e.g. a 10n) in which the convention of restricting the value of the coefficient (a) to a value between 1 and 10 is not followed, credit may still be awarded if the answer can be converted to the answer given in the mark scheme. Unless a separate mark is given for a unit, a missing or incorrect unit will normally mean that the final calculation mark is not awarded. Exceptions to this general principle will be noted in the mark scheme. 7 Guidance for chemical equations Multiples / fractions of coefficients used in chemical equations are acceptable unless stated otherwise in the mark scheme. State symbols given in an equation should be ignored unless asked for in the question or stated otherwise in the mark scheme.
