[1] Table 1.1 object distance u / cm image distance v / cm image distance / object distance = v / u 45.0 35.0 30.0 25.0 20.0 (ii) Repeat the procedure described in (i) for values of u = 35.0 cm, 30.0 cm, 25.0 cm, and 20.0 cm. [3] (iii) Complete the remaining boxes in the table by filling in the values of the ratio v / u, the ratio of image distance to object distance. [1]

Draw the best fit straight line. [4] (ii) Calculate the gradient of your line. Show all working and indicate on your graph the values you chose to enable the gradient to be calculated. gradient = [2]

Use your observations from the experiment to explain this. [1]

5 © UCLES 2013 0652/51/O/N/13 [Turn over For Examiner's Use 2 You are going to carry out a series of tests to identify compound X. (a) Heat the hard glass test-tube containing X until there is no further visible change. Record your observation below and leave this test-tube to cool. You will be using the contents of this test-tube in (c)(i). observation [1] (b) (i) Place two spatula loads of X into a test-tube and add about 4 cm3 of dilute hydrochloric acid. Pass the gas produced through limewater in another test-tube. Keep the mixture of X and acid for (b)(ii). Record your observations, identify the gas produced, and the anion in X. observations name of gas name of anion [4] (ii) Transfer the contents of the test-tube from (b)(i) to the small beaker and add excess dilute sodium hydroxide. Record your observations and suggest the name of the metal cation in X. observations name of metal cation [2] (c) (i) The hard glass test-tube and its contents from (a) should now have cooled. Add about 8 cm3 dilute nitric acid, stir and wait for 2 minutes. Then filter the mixture into two test-tubes for use in (c)(ii) and (c)(iii). State the colour of the filtrate. [1]

Record your observations and suggest the formula of the cation in X. observations formula of cation [3] (iii) Carefully pour off some of the filtrate from the other test-tube from (c)(i), leaving behind about 1 cm depth of filtrate. Add a piece of magnesium ribbon which is about 1 cm in length. Record your observations. observations [2] (iv) Suggest what type of reaction has taken place in (c)(iii). [1] (d) Using your observations for (a), (b) and (c), identify compound X. compound X is [1]

CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL EXAMINATIONS International General Certificate of Secondary Education MARK SCHEME for the October/November 2013 series 0652 PHYSICAL SCIENCE 0652/51 Paper 5 (Practical Test), 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.
