Question Marks Answer Additional Guidance

1 (a) (i) 1 (Johann) Dӧbereiner accept spelling errors

[1]
(ii) 1 all produce an alkali / hydroxide ignore floating, hissing, spitting, all
disappears, references to rate

[1]
(iv) 1 alkali metals do not accept Group 1

[1]
(b) (i) 1 manganese

[1]
(ii) 1 Mn is a metal (N and P are not). accept reference to specific metal
properties e.g.
Mn has high MPt, N and P have not,
Mn conducts electricity, N and P do not,
Mn has ionic chloride, N and P have not
Mn has basic oxide, N and P have not
[1]

Question Marks Answer Additional Guidance

2 (a) solid magnesium has a metallic
structure
solid magnesium has mobile
electrons
magnesium chloride has an ionic
structure
magnesium chloride has no mobile
charge carriers / ions when solid
do not accept is a metal
1 mark for 1/2 points
2 marks for 3/4 points
3 marks for 5/6 points
4 marks for 7 points
all 7 points needed for 4 marks

magnesium chloride has mobile

charge carriers / ions when liquid
chlorine is a covalent substance

(individual) molecules of chlorine are

not charged.
[4]
(b) (i) 1 protons, neutrons, electrons all three are needed for each mark

1 17,18,17

[2]
(ii) 1 positive charge / protons ignore reference to uncharged neutron
and
negative charge / electrons
cancel out / add to zero
or
+17 – 17 = 0
[1]
(iii) 1 each atom shares an/one electron
with the other atom
or
shared pair of electrons forms a
covalent bond
[1]
(c) 1 Mg is oxidised, Cl is reduced accept Mg is oxidised because each
Mg atom loses electrons, Cl is reduced
1 reduction is the gain of electrons, because each Cl atom gains electron(s)
oxidation is the loss of electrons for 2 marks

Question Marks Answer Additional Guidance

(b) 3 4NH3 + 5O2 → 4NO + 6H2O fully correct answer scores 3 marks

2 2NH3 + 4O2 → 2NO + 3H2O2 balanced equation with an incorrect

second product scores 2 marks
1 evidence of use of info in question
eg ratio of ammonia to NO is 1:1

1 deduction that second product is

water

1 balanced equation accept fully balanced equation with any

product
[max 3]

(c) (i) 1 speeds up reaction / increases rate,

and not used up / not changed
[1]

(ii) 1 lowers activation energy

4 (a) any one of three alternatives:

1 anyhydrous copper(II) sulfate, 1 mark for substances

water, and hydrated (blue)
copper(II) sulfate, 1 mark for method
1 add water, heat,
1 white turns to blue, then to white 1 mark for observations
or
1 named indicator
1 add acid, add alkali
1 colours described
or
1 ammonium chloride, ammonia and
hydrogen chloride
1 heat, cool
1 white solid disappears (becomes
colourless gas), reappears.

[max 3]

(b) reactants: nitrogen and hydrogen one mark for any two correctly placed,
two marks for all three
[max 2] product: ammonia

(c) (i) 1 increase accept alternative words

[1]

Question Marks Answer Additional Guidance

5 (a) (i) 1 energy is released / given out to the

surroundings
[1]
(ii) 1 bond breaking is endothermic /
energy taken in, bond making is
exothermic / energy released

1 use of example to illustrate this

1 exothermic overall because the

energy released is greater than the
energy taken in
[3]
(b) 1 axes plus 2 horizontal lines at accept unlabelled axes
different levels

1 reactants and products written at accept if horizontal lines missing

correct place on both diagrams

1 products at lower level than

reactants on both diagrams

1 Ea labelled correctly on one diagram

1 ∆H labelled correctly on one diagram

1 relative sizes of Ea and ∆H are should be apparent without

correct measurement
[6]
(c) 1 dissolve in water

1 add suitable substance eg NaOH

(aq), Mg, MgO, CaCO3

1 observations eg with NaOH measure

T before and after / with Mg, gas is
seen, MgO dissolves / with CaCO3
gas is seen
[3]
6 (a) (i) 1 fractional distillation both words needed

[1]
