Paper 2 AS Level Structured Questions May/June 2017
MARK SCHEME
Maximum Mark: 60
Published
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 May/June 2017 series for most Cambridge IGCSE®,
Cambridge International A and AS Level and Cambridge Pre-U components, and some Cambridge O Level
components.
1(b)(i) EITHER 2
mass of an atom / isotope 1
relative / compared to 1/12 (the mass) of (an atom of) C-12 OR
on a scale in which a C-12 (atom / isotope) has (a mass of exactly) 12 (units) 1
OR
mass of one mol (of atoms) of an isotope
relative / compared to 1/12 (the mass) of 1 mol of C-12 OR
on a scale in which one mol C-12 (atom / isotope) has a mass of (exactly) 12 g
x = 10.9941 1
Total: 6
non-polar / no dipole 1
2(b)(i) Any 2 points covered correctly scores 2 marks Any 1 point covered correctly scores 1 mark 2
• high temperature (of internal combustion engine) / (engine) produces enough OR a lot of heat (energy) :
Total: 13
3(b)(i) general shape of the curve and peak are displaced to right of original and starts at origin 1
the peak is lower and curve crosses once only finishing above original 1
higher frequency of successful collisions OR more successful collisions per unit time / higher chance of successful collisions 1
per unit time / higher proportion of successful collisions per unit time
(increasing T) shifts equilibrium to the right / in the forward direction / endothermic direction / towards H2 + Br2 1
to oppose the change or oppose the increase in temperature OR to absorb (additional) energy / heat OR to decrease the 1
temperature
3(d)(ii) equal number of moles (of gas) on either side (of equation) / (total) pressure cancels 1
Total: 18
4(a)(i) 1
(A = )
4(a)(ii) (A / straight chain) has strong(er) (temporary dipole-) induced dipole (attractions) ora 1
(because A / straight chain has) bigger (surface) area / more (points of) contact (in unbranched isomer) ora 1
OR
(so) more energy required to break the intermolecular forces ora
One (of the two) methyl groups / one (of the two) H (atoms) is on each C (of C=C) 1
4(a)(v)
dipole on Br2 in correct orientation AND arrow from the Br-Br bond to the Brδ– 1
correct carbocation / bromonium ion from the structure with C=C drawn 1
Br– with lone pair, negative charge AND arrow from lone pair to the carbon atom of intermediate 1
OR
using both arrows shown (in alternative diagram)
4(c)(i) triiodomethane 1
4(c)(ii) F = CH3CH2CH2COCH3 1
G = C2H5CH(CH3)CHO 1
