2 © UCLES 2015 0652/51/O/N/15 1 Potassium iodide can be converted to iodine by an oxidising agent. The presence of starch produces a blue-black colour when the iodine is formed. The time for the blue-black colour to appear depends on the rate of the reaction between potassium iodide and the oxidising agent. You are going to investigate whether certain metal ions can catalyse this reaction. You will also identify the metal ion X2+. A is potassium iodide solution. B is a solution of the oxidising agent. (a) (i) • Using the measuring cylinder labelled B, place 10 cm3 of B in a conical flask or beaker. • Add five drops of starch to the flask. • Using a second measuring cylinder labelled A, add 10 cm3 of A to the flask and swirl once, starting the stopclock at the same time. • Stop the stopclock when the solution turns blue-black. Record the time t in seconds to the nearest second in the second row of Table 1.1.

[2] (b) (i) • Using the measuring cylinder labelled B, place 10 cm3 of B in a conical flask or beaker. • Add five drops of starch to the flask. • Using the measuring cylinder labelled C add 1 cm3 of the solution containing the Fe2+ ion to the flask. • Using the measuring cylinder labelled A, add 10 cm3 of A to the flask and swirl once, starting the stopclock at the same time. • Stop the stopclock when the solution turns blue-black. Record the time t in seconds to the nearest second in the appropriate row of Table 1.1. [1]

Record the time t in seconds to the nearest second in the appropriate row of Table 1.1. [1] (iii) Repeat (b)(i), replacing the solution containing the Fe2+ ion with the solution containing the X2+ ion. Record the time t in seconds to the nearest second in the appropriate row of Table 1.1. [1] (c) (i) Calculate the values of t 1 for each reading of time t. Enter the values in Table 1.1. These represent the rates of the reaction. [1] (ii) Using your results in Table 1.1, state and explain whether the metal ions are acting as catalysts for this reaction. [2] (d) Use the two results obtained when no metal ion was added to comment on the reliability of the experiment. You must show how you use these two results. [1]

4 © UCLES 2015 0652/51/O/N/15 (e) (i) The addition of the metal ion in (b) increases the total volume of the solution in the experiment. Suggest a modification to the method in (a)(i) which would result in the overall experiment being a fairer test. Explain why you have chosen this modification. [2] (ii) A student suggests that the reaction involving the solution containing the X2+ ion is a completely different reaction and that X2+ ions reacts with iodide ions. Carry out (b)(iii) again using the solution containing the X2+ ion but carefully observe the reaction mixture instead of timing the reaction. Suggest what observations may have led the student to think that this was a different reaction. [1] (f) Use ammonia solution to identify metal X in the solution containing the X2+ ion. Record your observations. observations metal X is [2]

5 © UCLES 2015 0652/51/O/N/15 [Turn over 2 You are going to measure the capacity and the outer surface area of the walls of a plastic cup. (a) The capacity of a cup is the maximum volume of liquid that it can hold. The volume will be estimated by finding the average diameter of the cup and then considering the cup to be an approximate cylinder. (i) Measure, to the nearest 0.1 cm, the height h of the cup as shown in Fig. 2.1. D h d Fig. 2.1 h = cm (ii) Measure the diameter D of the top of the cup. D = cm (iii) Measure the diameter d of the bottom of the cup. d = cm (iv) Calculate the average diameter dA using your results from (a)(ii) and (a)(iii) and the equation dA = 2 d) (D + dA = cm (v) Calculate the approximate volume V of the cup using the equation V = 4 h d 2 A π V = cm3 [6]

6 © UCLES 2015 0652/51/O/N/15 (b) (i) Fill the measuring cylinder with water up to a mark in excess of 200 cm3. Record this reading R1. R1 = cm3 Pour water from the measuring cylinder into the cup until it is full. Record the new reading R2. R2 = cm3 Determine the volume of water VW that the cup can hold. Show your working. VW = cm3 [2] (ii) Suggest one possible source of inaccuracy in this procedure. [1] (iii) State which of the two values, V obtained in (a)(v) or VW obtained in (b)(i) is the more accurate. Explain your answer. [1]

7 © UCLES 2015 0652/51/O/N/15 (c) Empty the water from the cup. Use the string and the metre rule provided to determine the average circumference C of the cup. (i) Describe the method that you used and show your working. C = cm [3] Fig. 2.2 (ii) Show on Fig. 2.2 where you placed the string to measure the average circumference. [1] (iii) Calculate the approximate curved surface area A of the cup using the equation A = Ch A = cm2 [1]
