A5(a) Reducing agent is iodide (ion) (NOT iodine) or I- or potassium

iodide 1
Because oxidn no. of Cu2+ decreases or from 2 to 1
Or I- gives e- or Oxidation Number -I —> O 1
(b) Changes from purple to colourless 1

A6(a) Diagram 7 dots and 1 cross on each chloride ion 1

Correct charges on all three ions
MgCl 0 marks 1
(b) Two physical props from:
High m.p. or b.p. or solid
Soluble in water
Conducts when molten or in solution 2

7(a) Equation: Zn + 2 HCI —> ZnCl2 + H2 or ionic equivalent 1

(b) Moles of zinc = 0.65/65 = 0.01 1
Moles of acid = 2x50/1000 = 0.1 1
Refer to 2:1 ratio, hence acid is in excess 1
(c) Rate decreases 1
Concentration of acid is decreasing or surface area of zinc is
decreasing 1
(d) On grid, line is to the left and finishes at 240 cm3 1

8(a)(i) series is alcohols or alkanols 1

(ii) Mr is 116 1
(iii) b.p. is 157 to 162 (unit not required) 1
(iv) form is CnH2n+1OH or CnH2n+2O 1
(b) A use, not drinks 1
(c)(i) structure
ALLOW OH or O – H
O
C OH 1
(ii) any suitable reagent (e.g. oxygen, dichromate(VI), manganate(VII)
etc ) 1
(iii) name ethyl ethanoate or acetate 1
structure (e.g. CH3CO2C2H5) 1

(iv) CO oxidised to CO2 1
NO2 reduced to N2 1
(c) Calculation:
Mr of octane is 114 1
1.14g gives 5518/1.14kJ x 1.14 1
answer. 55.18kJ
answer alone (1) mark only; unit required somewhere [max 2] 1

B10(a)(i) ethanol increases or equilibrium moves right 1

(b)(i) name is ethane 1
(ii) full structure of 1:2-dibromoethane 1
(c) Structure of poly(thene)
Must show single C - C bond and continuation 1
litter or non-biodegradable, not just pollution 1
(d) Correct structure of ethene 2
If not C2H4 then 0
If all dots [max 1]
If dot & cross between carbons [max 1]
