A A mixture of liquids with boiling points which differ by 35 C can be separated by distillation.
B Locating agents are needed to identify the colours present in ink.
C The desalination of sea water to produce pure water is achieved by fractional distillation.
D The Rf value of a dye in a chromatogram can be calculated using the formula:
When a few drops of aqueous sodium hydroxide are added, a white precipitate is
formed. [contains either aluminium, zinc, Magnesium or calcium]
When dilute nitric acid is added and the mixture is warmed, a gas is formed. The
gas decolourises acidified potassium manganate(VII). A gas produced with KMnO4, is SO2,
this confirms the presence of SO3 ion
When dilute nitric acid and aqueous barium nitrate are added, no visible reaction
occurs. Barium nitrate or barium chloride forms white precipitate of BaSO4 if SO4 is present.
pressure temperature
Pressure and volume are inversely proportional
A decreases increases Pressure is proportional to temperature
B increases decreases
Volume is also proportional to temperature
C increases unchanged
D unchanged decreases
5 Ethylamine gas, C2H5NH2, and hydrogen chloride gas, HCl, react together to form a white solid,
ethylamine hydrochloride.
At which position in the tube would a ring of solid white ethylamine hydrochloride form?
A B C D
White solid is formed after gases diffuse and meet. Rate of diffusion is less if RFM of particle is more and vice versa.
Ethylamine has a higher RFM, so it travels short distance and HCl travels longer distance.
2 It has 8 protons. Mass number or RFM = sum of proton and neutron number
In this case, RFM = 14
3 It is an isotope of carbon. Proton number identifies and element.
4 It is an isotope of nitrogen. Isotopes are atoms of same element but different RFM.
Using these isotopes and 12C and 1H, how many different relative molecular masses are possible
for the compound with molecular formula C2H3Cl 3?
RFM of chlorine would vary:
So, possibilities are:
A 2 B 3 C 4 D 5 all 3 atoms are Cl-35
or, 2 atoms of Cl-35 and 1 atom of Cl-37
or, 1 atom of Cl-35 and 2 atoms of Cl-37

MARK SCHEME
Maximum Mark: 40
Published
This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and candidates, to indicate the requirements of the
examination. It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the
details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began, which would have
considered the acceptability of alternative answers.
Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the Principal Examiner Report for
Teachers.
Cambridge International will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes.
Cambridge International is publishing the mark schemes for the May/June 2022 series for most
Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge International A and AS Level and Cambridge Pre-U components, and some
Cambridge O Level components.
These general marking principles must be applied by all examiners when marking candidate answers. They should be applied alongside the
specific content of the mark scheme or generic level descriptors for a question. Each question paper and mark scheme will also comply with these
marking principles.
the specific content of the mark scheme or the generic level descriptors for the question
the specific skills defined in the mark scheme or in the generic level descriptors for the question
the standard of response required by a candidate as exemplified by the standardisation scripts.
Marks awarded are always whole marks (not half marks, or other fractions).
marks are awarded for correct/valid answers, as defined in the mark scheme. However, credit is given for valid answers which go beyond the
scope of the syllabus and mark scheme, referring to your Team Leader as appropriate
marks are awarded when candidates clearly demonstrate what they know and can do
marks are not deducted for errors
marks are not deducted for omissions
answers should only be judged on the quality of spelling, punctuation and grammar when these features are specifically assessed by the
question as indicated by the mark scheme. The meaning, however, should be unambiguous.
Rules must be applied consistently, e.g. in situations where candidates have not followed instructions or in the application of generic level
descriptors.
Marks should be awarded using the full range of marks defined in the mark scheme for the question (however; the use of the full mark range may
be limited according to the quality of the candidate responses seen).
Marks awarded are based solely on the requirements as defined in the mark scheme. Marks should not be awarded with grade thresholds or
grade descriptors in mind.
1 Examiners should consider the context and scientific use of any keywords when awarding marks. Although keywords may be present, marks
should not be awarded if the keywords are used incorrectly.
2 The examiner should not choose between contradictory statements given in the same question part, and credit should not be awarded for any
correct statement that is contradicted within the same question part. Wrong science that is irrelevant to the question should be ignored.
3 Although spellings do not have to be correct, spellings of syllabus terms must allow for clear and unambiguous separation from other syllabus
terms with which they may be confused (e.g. ethane / ethene, glucagon / glycogen, refraction / reflection).
4 The error carried forward (ecf) principle should be applied, where appropriate. If an incorrect answer is subsequently used in a scientifically
correct way, the candidate should be awarded these subsequent marking points. Further guidance will be included in the mark scheme where
necessary and any exceptions to this general principle will be noted.
For questions that require n responses (e.g. State two reasons …):
The response should be read as continuous prose, even when numbered answer spaces are provided.
Any response marked ignore in the mark scheme should not count towards n.
Incorrect responses should not be awarded credit but will still count towards n.
Read the entire response to check for any responses that contradict those that would otherwise be credited. Credit should not be
awarded for any responses that are contradicted within the rest of the response. Where two responses contradict one another, this
should be treated as a single incorrect response.
Non-contradictory responses after the first n responses may be ignored even if they include incorrect science.
Correct answers to calculations should be given full credit even if there is no working or incorrect working, unless the question states ‘show
your working’.
For questions in which the number of significant figures required is not stated, credit should be awarded for correct answers when rounded by
the examiner to the number of significant figures given in the mark scheme. This may not apply to measured values.
For answers given in standard form (e.g. a 10n) in which the convention of restricting the value of the coefficient (a) to a value between 1
and 10 is not followed, credit may still be awarded if the answer can be converted to the answer given in the mark scheme.
Unless a separate mark is given for a unit, a missing or incorrect unit will normally mean that the final calculation mark is not awarded.
Exceptions to this general principle will be noted in the mark scheme.
Multiples / fractions of coefficients used in chemical equations are acceptable unless stated otherwise in the mark scheme.
State symbols given in an equation should be ignored unless asked for in the question or stated otherwise in the mark scheme.
