2 (b) (ii) Cr2O7 + 14H + 6Fe → 2Cr + 7H2O + 6Fe 1 Or 6mol Fe(II) react with 1mol
dichromate
If factor of 6 not used max =3 for M2,
M4 and M5
Moles dichromate = 23.6 × 0.218 / 1000 1 e.g. 1:1 gives ans= 8.93 to 8.98%
–4
= 5.14 × 10 (scores 3)

Moles iron = 5.14 × 10 × 6 = 0.003 09 1 M3 also scores M1
Mass iron = 0.003 09 × 55.8 = 0.172 1 Mark is for moles of iron 55.8
Allow use of 56 for iron
3 sig figs - Allow 53.6 to 53.9
% by mass of iron = 0.172 × 100 / 0.321 = 53.7% 1 Mark is for mass of iron × 100 / 0.321
2 (c) Brown precipitate / solid 1 Allow red-brown / orange solid
Not red or yellow solid
Bubbles (of gas) / effervescence / fizz 1 Allow gas evolved / given off
Do not allow just gas or CO2 or CO2

Use of Na2CO3
3 (a) A catalyst in the same phase as the reactants 1
3 (b) (i) A reaction in which a product acts as a catalyst 1 Do not accept: self-catalysing. You
3+
could have Mn as a catalyst, since
it is involved in the reaction and is
regenerated.

3 (b) (ii) Mn 1
3 (c) (i) 2CO + 2NO → 2CO2 + N2 5 Accept: 4CO + 2NO2 → 4CO2 + N2
The reducing agent is CO.
3 (c) (ii) Pt, Pd or Rh
Deposited on a ceramic honeycomb / mesh or sponge,
which increases the surface area of the catalyst.
4 (a) These are examples of answers. There are other 8
equations possible from the species in the question.

7(a) A transition metal is one that forms one or more ions 1
with a part full d-shell of electrons
7(b) Scandium is in the d- block because the pure metal 1
has 1 electron in the 3d shell. However in all its
3+
compounds it forms Sc ions which have no d-
electrons.
8(a) A complex ion is one where a metal ion is surrounded 2
by molecules or ions which form co-ordinate bonds
with it using lone pairs of electrons. A ligand is an
atom, ion or molecule that forms co-ordinate bonds
with a metal ion using lone pairs of electrons.
