MARK SCHEME for the October/November 2011 question paper

for the guidance of teachers
9701 CHEMISTRY
9701/11
Paper 1 (Multiple Choice), maximum raw mark 40
Mark schemes must be read in conjunction with the question papers and the report on the
examination.
Cambridge will not enter into discussions or correspondence in connection with these mark schemes.
Cambridge is publishing the mark schemes for the October/November 2011 question papers for most
IGCSE, GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level syllabuses and some Ordinary Level
syllabuses.

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.

of reaction or no change in rate or shows a linear decrease

either if rate = k[Cr(CO)6]
mechanism B is consistent

because its the only mechanism that does NOT involve PR3 in its slow/rate-determining
step or only Cr(CO)6 is involved in slow step or [PR3] does not affect the rate

or
if rate = k[Cr(CO)6][PR3], then
mechanism A or C or D is consistent
because both reactants are involved in slow step

[1]
Most points on or close to the line hence reliable, not just a

straight line is produced.

ACE
Data
Construction lines present. Takes intercept readings from the

graph.
[1]
Calculates the slope correctly using intercept readings.

Gradient can be either (y1 y2)/(x1 x2) or (y2 y1)/(x2 x1).
[1]
ACE
Line is the ratio of oxygen to lead or vice versa.
Conclusions
Calculation to determine the formula, i.e. gives the ratio of
atoms commensurate with the answer in 2(e).
[1]
States formula. Pb3O4 would usually mean that the last 2

marks are awarded automatically.
[1]
[1]
Ecf an over-approximation of the ratio.

(a) (i) mass of C = 12 0.352 = 0.096g

n(C) = 0.096 = 0.008

(ii) mass of H = 2 0.144 = 0.016g

n(H) = 0.016 = 0.016

(iii) mass of oxygen = 0.240 (0.096 + 0.016) = 0.128g

allow ecf at any stage

(b) C : H : O = 0.008: 0.016 : 0.008 = 1:2:1

(c) (i) Mr = mRT
