(a) • Remove the stopper from the hard glass test-tube containing solid P for (a). • Heat strongly for 2 minutes and hold a lighted splint at the mouth of the test-tube while heating. • Leave to cool and keep the remaining solid for testing in (e). This is solid R. • Record your observations. observations [2] (b) • Place half a spatula full of solid P for (b) and (c) in a test-tube and add about 5 cm3 nitric acid. Gently heat the test-tube and hold pieces of damp red and blue litmus paper in the mouth of the test-tube, being careful not to touch the sides of the test-tube with the paper. • Stop heating if the mixture starts to boil. • Record your observations and conclusions. observations conclusions [4]

If necessary warm the mixture to completely dissolve the solid. • To about 5 cm3 of this solution of P for (b) and (c), add an equal volume of barium chloride solution. • Record your observations and conclusions. observations conclusions [2] (d) The reaction between P for (b) and (c) and nitric acid in (b) produces two compounds. These are a different calcium salt and compound Q. You are provided with a solution of Q in distilled water. (i) Test some of solution Q with red and blue litmus papers. Record your observations. observations [1] (ii) To 5 cm3 of solution Q, add a spatula full of calcium carbonate powder. Record your observations. observations [1] (iii) The hydrochloric acid provided has the same concentration as solution Q. To 5 cm3 of this hydrochloric acid add a spatula full of calcium carbonate powder. Using your observations, compare the speed of this reaction with that seen in (d)(ii). [1] (iv) Using your results in (d)(i), (ii) and (iii), make conclusions about the properties of compound Q. conclusions [1]

4 © UCLES 2015 0652/52/O/N/15 (e) (i) When the remaining solid from (a), compound R, has cooled, add hydrochloric acid and test any gas produced by passing it through limewater. Record your observations. observations [2] (ii) Suggest an identity for compound R. compound R is [1]

6 © UCLES 2015 0652/52/O/N/15 2 You are going to measure the resistance of a power source. The circuit shown in Fig. 2.1 has been set up for you. V power source switch 0 100 X resistance wire A C Fig. 2.1 (a) (i) Close the switch and connect the crocodile clip C to the resistance wire at a distance d of 15.0 cm from end X. Record in Table 2.1 the current I flowing through the wire and the potential difference V. Switch off the circuit. [2] Table 2.1 distance d / cm current I / potential difference V / 15.0 20.0 25.0 40.0 60.0 100.0 (ii) In Table 2.1 insert the units for current and potential difference. [1] (iii) Repeat (a)(i) for values of d of 20.0 cm, 25.0 cm, 40.0 cm, 60.0 cm and 100.0 cm. Record in Table 2.1 your values of I and V for each d. Remember to switch off between readings. [3]

[4] (c) 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] (d) The positive value of the gradient of your line is equal to the resistance of the power source. Write down the resistance of the power source to an appropriate number of significant figures. resistance of power supply = Ω [1]

8 © UCLES 2015 0652/52/O/N/15 (e) Give one possible source of inaccuracy in the experiment and the precaution you took to minimise it. source of inaccuracy precaution [2]

CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL EXAMINATIONS Cambridge International General Certificate of Secondary Education MARK SCHEME for the October/November 2015 series 0652 PHYSICAL SCIENCE 0652/52 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 2015 series for most Cambridge IGCSE®, Cambridge International A and AS Level components and some Cambridge O Level components.
