Paper 3 0800 - 0915
Paper 3 and 4: 1 hour 15 minutes
Candidates answer on the Question Paper.
Write your name, class and index number on all the work you hand in.
Write in dark blue or black pen.
You may use an HB pencil for any diagrams, graphs, tables or rough working.
The use of an approved scientific calculator is expected, where appropriate.

You may lose marks if you do not show your working or if you do not use appropriate units.
There are twenty questions. Answer all questions. For each question there are four possible
answers A, B, C and D. Choose the one you consider correct and record your choice in soft
pencil on the separate Answer Sheet. Read the instructions on the Answer Sheet very
carefully. Each correct answer will score one mark. A mark will not be deducted for a wrong
answer. Any rough working should be done in this question paper.

You may proceed to answer Paper 4 as soon as you have complete Paper 3.

(b) 20.0 cm3 of potassium hydroxide solution was placed in a beaker.
The temperature of this solution is measured and recorded.
To the beaker of potassium hydroxide solution, a 2.0 cm3 portion of dilute

hydrochloric acid is added and the mixture is stirred. The highest temperature
reached is measured and recorded.
Seven further 2.0 cm3 portions of hydrochloric acid are added. Each time, the
mixture is stirred and the highest temperature reached is measured and
recorded.
