1ai
1 a iii Heterogeneous. B1
The catalyst is in a different phase/state from the B1 ALLOW catalyst is solid and
reactants. reactants are gases.
1b The temperature is too low at the start of the B1
journey.
Only a small proportion of reactant molecules have B1
energy greater than the activation energy.
2ai B B1
2 a ii D B1
2 a iii A B1
2b A and B. B1 Both needed for the mark.
2c Carbon dioxide. B1 ALLOW CO2.
3a Sulfur is produced, which is a precipitate/solid. B1

3c As concentration increases / down the column, the M1 Must mention time for this first
time will decrease. mark, not rate.
More particles / molecules per volume (as A1 ORA but NOT area instead of
concentration increases). volume.
Frequency of collisions increases / more collisions A1 ‘More collisions’ is insufficient as
per second. no time implied.
3di (Horizontal axis) (kinetic) energy AND NOT enthalpy.
(Vertical axis) number/fraction/percentage of B1 NOT atoms, but ALLOW particles.

4 b ii More moles / molecules (of gas) on left hand side. M1 4 moles of reactants and 2 moles
of products.
Shifts to right / towards products or forwards A1
reaction favoured.
4 b iii Forwards and backwards reaction rates increase by M1
the same amount.
No effect (on equilibrium position). A1
4c Catalyst lowers the activation energy / energy B1
requirement or means lower temperature needed.
Less fossil fuel has to be combusted (to reach this B1
temperature, leading to reduction in carbon dioxide
emissions).
4d Some catalysts are toxic (leading to problems with B1
disposal).

5 b ii A1 Ignore units.
