1 a) HCl [1 mark] 6 a) Pass the solution through filter paper in a funnel [1 mark].
b) nitrogen [1 mark] b) E.g. use the pipette to put a known volume of the saturated
c) A and D [1 mark] solution into the evaporating dish [1 mark]. Gently heat the dish
d) sodium chloride, water and carbon dioxide [1 mark] with the Bunsen burner until all the liquid has been evaporated
e) thermal decomposition [1 mark] (leaving the solute behind) [1 mark]. Measure the new mass of
the evaporating dish using the mass balance [1 mark]. Subtract
f) a mixture [1 mark]
the mass of the evaporating dish from this to find the mass of

c) Using distilled water ensures there are no other solutes dissolved
ii) diffusion [1 mark] in the water [1 mark]. Other solutes would affect the mass
b) As the water in the tray froze, the total mass of the water and (of the solute being tested) that could dissolve in the water
tray stayed the same and the density of the water decreased. [1 mark].

magnesium Yes [1 mark] No Yes 2.00
copper No No No 1.50

b) e.g. silver / gold [1 mark]
Silver and gold are less reactive than copper, so also wouldn’t have 0.50

Hypothesis: e.g. all metals are thermal conductors and all
non‑metals are thermal insulators [1 mark].
Prediction: e.g. the wooden splint will fall from the steel and
zinc bars within the 10 minutes, but the wooden splint will not
fall from the wood rod [1 mark].
