points:

 pH decreases
 hydrogen ion/H+ (ion) concentration accept hydrogen ions
increases are formed

Question Answer Additional guidance Mark

number
5(c) An explanation that links three of the
following points:

 the ions of (pure) copper are the

same size (1) accept atoms/particles
 the layers (of ions) can easily slide for ions
over one another (1)
 the ions of zinc and copper have reject molecules once
different sizes (1) only
 this disrupts the
layers/structure/arrangement of the
copper ions (1)
 hence it is more difficult for the
layers (of ions) to slide over one
another (1)

Question Answer Mark

number
6(d)  Calculate the amount of magnesium carbonate
 Calculate the amount of water
 Evaluation

Example calculation:
n(MgCO3) = (1.68 ÷ 84) = 0.02(0)(mol) (1)
n(H2O) = (1.08 ÷ 18) = 0.06(0)(mol) (1)

Question Answer Mark
number
6(e)  Calculate the amount of magnesium carbonate
 Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide
 Convert to cm3

Example calculation:
n(MgCO3) = (4.2 ÷ 84) = 0.05(0)(mol) (1)
volume of CO2 = 0.05 × 24 = 1.2 (dm3) (1)
converting to cm3 = 1.2 x 1000 = 1200 (cm3) (1)

7(a)(i) Graph A ignore any references to or
arguments based on Le
An explanation that links the following Chatelier’s principle
two points:

 the backward/reverse reaction is accept the (forward)

endothermic (1) reaction is exothermic
 so an increase in temperature
shifts the equilibrium to the left
(hence the percentage of NO
decreases) (1)

Graph B

An explanation that links the following

two points:

 there are fewer molecules/moles

of gas on the left (1)
 so an increase in pressure shifts
the equilibrium to the left (hence
the percentage of NO decreases)
(1)
