MARK SCHEME
Maximum Mark: 40

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 March 2017 series for most Cambridge IGCSE®,
Cambridge International A and AS Level components and some Cambridge O Level components.

® IGCSE is a registered trademark.

This syllabus is approved for use in England, Wales and Northern Ireland as a Cambridge International Level 1/Level 2 Certificate.

This document consists of 4 printed pages.

Question Answer Marks

2(d)(ii) five times as concentrated 1

2(e) 2.5–2.6 1

unit: cm3 1

2(f) effect on volume: no effect 1

reason: temperature would only affect the rate 1

2(g)(i) use a pipette / burette 1

2(g)(ii) repeat experiments (and compare / average) 1

2(h) M1 fair test 1


to equal volumes of each sodium hydroxide solution / solutions O and P add an equal volume / measured volumes of
aqueous calcium chloride

M2 dependent variable measured 1


measure mass / height of precipitate formed / volume of calcium chloride used

M3 conclusion 1
the more concentrated sodium hydroxide solution would form the most precipitate (mass / height) / would require a
smaller volume of calcium chloride
