    MARK SCHEME for the May/June 2008 question paper

    5070 CHEMISTRY
    5070/03 Paper 3 (Practical Test), maximum raw mark 40

    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.

    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.

    • CIE will not enter into discussions or correspondence in connection with these mark schemes.

    CIE is publishing the mark schemes for the May/June 2008 question papers for most IGCSE, GCE
    Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level syllabuses and some Ordinary Level syllabuses.

    GCE O LEVEL – May/June 2008 5070 03

    1 (a) Identification of the acid

    Test 1
    1 mark White ppt (1) See Question 2 for acceptable alternatives

    Test 2
    1 mark No reaction (1) Allow solution stays colourless or clear

    Test 3
    1 mark White ppt (1)

    Conclusion
    1 mark Acid is sulphuric acid (1)

    [4]

    (b) Titration

    Accuracy (8 marks)

    For each of the two best titres give:


    4 marks for a value within 0.2 cm3 of supervisor
    2 marks for a value within 0.3 cm3 of supervisor
    1 mark for a value within 0.4 cm3 of supervisor

    If candidates' or supervisors' results are given to 2 decimal places take to the nearest 0.1 cm3.
    If halfway, round up or down so as to favour the candidate.

    Concordance (3 marks)

    These are based on all the values ticked by the candidate (not just those chosen for the accuracy
    marks) and are independent of the accuracy marks.

    Give:
    3 marks if all the ticked values are within 0.2 cm3
    2 marks if all the ticked values are within 0.3 cm3
    1 mark if all the ticked values are within 0.4 cm3
    To score any concordance mark at least two of the ticked value must be within 0.6 cm3 of the
    Supervisor’s value.

    Average (1 mark)

    Give 1 mark if the candidate calculates a correct average (error not greater than 0.05) of all his ticked
    value.

    Assuming a 25 cm3 pipette and a titre of 24.6 cm3

    (c) Concentration of sulphuric acid, in mol/dm3

    25.0 × 0.1
    conc = (1)
    24.6 × 2

    = 0.0508 (correct to 0.0001) (1)

    Allow 0.05 for 0.0500 etc, answers should be correct to + or – 1 in the third significant figure.

    If the acid has been identified as hydrochloric acid, allow correct calculation using a mole ratio of 1:1
    to score without penalty. [2]

    2 S is FeCl3
    R is CuSO4
    U is NiSO4

    General points
    For ppt
    allow solid, suspension, powder
    do not allow substance, particles, deposit, residue, sediment, gelatinous, insoluble etc.
    do not allow cloudy/milky etc for ppt forms but do allow cloudy/milky remains or clears for ppt
    remains or dissolves.

    For gases
    Name of gas requires test to be at least partially correct.
    Effervesces = Bubbles = gas vigorously evolved but not gas evolved

    Solutions
    Colourless not equivalent to clear, clear not equivalent to colourless

    Tests on S Tests on T Tests on U


    Test 1
    6 marks Brown ppt (1) Blue ppt (1) Green ppt (1)
    allow red/brown
    do not allow red or orange

    Blue solution (1) Blue solution (1)

    Give one mark for final Give one mark for final blue

    (1) Give 1 mark for a ppt of
    any colour.
    Allow any colour paler than
    brown for the colour mark.

    Brown solution (1)


    Allow yellow or orange for

    2 marks White ppt (1) No reaction (1)
    Allow only white Ignore slight change in
    colour i.e. becomes paler
    blue

    Conclusion
    2 marks S is FeCl3 R is CuSO4

    Conclusion marks require the tests for the individual ions to be at least partially correct and ppts with
    only barium nitrate or silver nitrate not both.

    Any 22 marks to score. [22]
