(a) Carefully cut out the L-shaped figure using the dimensions shown. If you make a mistake you may ask for another piece of card. A C D F B E 50 mm 50 mm 50 mm 50 mm 100 mm 100 mm Fig. 1.1 (i) Measure the distance CE on your own cut L-shaped figure and record it below. distance CE = mm [1] (ii) • Make a mark 5 mm from point A so that distance x, shown on Fig. 1.2 is 5 mm. • Insert the drawing pin at this mark as near as possible to the edge AB of the card. • Attach the plumb-line to the pin and insert the pin in the cork or suitable support provided. Make sure that the card swings freely. • Mark the position of point G, where the plumb-line crosses the edge CD. Measure the distance CG. This distance is labelled y in the diagram. Record the distance, y, in Fig. 1.3 x y A B C D E F G Fig. 1.2

Label the drawing with the letters A to F as shown in Fig. 1.2. [2] (ii) Using the value of yo from (b)(ii), show point G on your drawing. Join point G to point A. Measure and record the length of the line AG. length of line AG = mm [2] (iii) Draw the line CE. Mark the point M, where lines CE and AG cross. [1]

7 © UCLES 2006 0652/05/O/N/06 [Turn over For Examiner's Use 2 You are provided with three solids, A, B and C. One is an acid, one a base and the other a salt. You are required to decide which is the acid, the base and the salt by carrying out the tests (a), (b) and (c). Some of the spaces are already completed. If you do not see a reaction, write ‘no reaction’. (a) (i) Place about one fifth of solid A in a test-tube. Add an equal amount of solid sodium carbonate. Add about 2 cm3 of water and mix. Note any reaction and record your observation in Fig. 2.1. (ii) Repeat the test replacing solid A with solid B. Record any observation in Fig. 2.1. Test: addition of sodium carbonate and water solid A solid B solid C white precipitate Fig. 2.1 [2] (b) (i) Place another portion of solid A in a test-tube. Add an equal amount of ammonium chloride. Now add about 5 cm3 water and warm the mixture. If a gas is evolved you must identify it. Record your observation in Fig. 2.2 including the test for the identification of any gas given off. (ii) Repeat test (b)(i) using solid B in place of solid A. (iii) Carry out the test again replacing solid B with solid C. Test: addition of ammonium chloride and water. Warm and identify any gas given off. solid A solid B solid C Fig. 2.2 [4]

You may filter the mixture if necessary. Add aqueous ammonia solution a little at a time until it is in excess. (ii) Repeat test (c)(i) using solid C in place of solid B. Record any observation in Fig. 2.3. Test: addition of aqueous ammonia a little at a time until in excess. solid A solid B solid C no apparent reaction Fig. 2.3 [3] (d) Using the results of tests (a), (b) and (c), decide which is the acid, which is the base and which is the salt and give your reasons. Do not try to name the solids. solid A is because solid B is because solid C is because [3]

Use the notes on page 12 to help you. State the observation for each test. observation for chloride test observation for sulphate test Name the anion in the salt. [3]

UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL EXAMINATIONS International General Certificate of Secondary Education MARK SCHEME for the October/November 2006 question paper 0652 PHYSICAL SCIENCE 0652/05 Paper 5 (Practical Test), maximum raw mark 30 This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and students, 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. All Examiners are instructed that alternative correct answers and unexpected approaches in candidates’ scripts must be given marks that fairly reflect the relevant knowledge and skills demonstrated. Mark schemes must be read in conjunction with the question papers and the report on the examination. The grade thresholds for various grades are published in the report on the examination for most IGCSE, GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level syllabuses. • CIE will not enter into discussions or correspondence in connection with these mark schemes. CIE is publishing the mark schemes for the October/November 2006 question papers for most IGCSE, GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level syllabuses and some Ordinary Level syllabuses. www.XtremePapers.com
