MARK SCHEME for the May/June 2015 series

9701 CHEMISTRY
9701/22

Paper 2 (Structured Questions AS Core),

maximum raw mark 60

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 will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes.
Cambridge is publishing the mark schemes for the May/June 2015 series for most
Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge International A and AS Level components and some
Cambridge O Level components.

IGCSE is the registered trademark of Cambridge International Examinations.

T = 400 600 C (chosen as a compromise because)

High T increases rate ora
High T decreases yield / moves eqm left / makes less SO3 as forward
reaction exothermic ora

High pressure increases rate as collision frequency increases ora

High pressure moves eqm right / favours forward reaction as more moles on

Uneconomic to use high pressures / high yield at low pressure
