Paper 2 – mark scheme

Question Answer

1 B or D (badly worded question, on reflection)

2 B
3 C
4 A
5 D
6 D
7 D
8 C
9 C
10 B

11)
a. 2-methylpent-2-ene
b. C6H12
c. I) One mark for each correct product. Any type of formulae allowed, including skeletal
formulae that have C-H bonds included. Ignore names
ii)

iii) (adapt to replacement molecule)

 12) a)

b) Use this mark scheme, but don’t give M2. Ie just M1, M3, M4. Allow ECF for M4, as indicated.

c) dissolve 15g NaOH in distilled water in a beaker / conical flask (1 mark)

then transfer to volumetric flask with rinsings (1 mark)
fill up to the line (1 mark)

d)

e) MgN6

13)a) i) Evidence that 98/14 = 7. Ignore use of molecular formula eg. (7 x 17) + (14 x 1). Empirical
formula must be used.
ii) CH3CH2 (1), CH3CH2CHCH (1) Plus sign on both: (1). Apply following mark scheme:

b) Adapt from:

c) i) Any 2-carbon repeat unit that works – eg

ii)
Allow structural/skeletal/displayed/mix

d) 70,000 / 56 = 1250.

c) “ethanol can H-bond with water’

or
Diagram showing labelled H-bond between propan-2-ol and water, with lone pair on the O, and correct
dipole on the OH group providing the electron-deficient H.

di) Use this mark scheme, but with propan-2-ol

ii) 1) propan-2-ol does H-bonding and propanone has permanent dipole (-dipole) forces – one mark
2) H-bonding is stronger (than IMFs in propanone) and requires more energy to break ORA – one
mark (award this mark, even if perm dipole-dipole forces haven’t been identified in propanone)
