  Paper 2 Section A

No
Answer
1a
-          electronic balance
-          burette or pipette
-          stopwatch
1bi
fixed boiling point of 100 °C
1bii
2H2O2 ® 2H2O + O2
1biii
-          diagram showing clearly the filtration setup
-          residue labelled as powder and filtrate labelled 
as liquid
1c
no as sodium chloride is dissolved in the water 
hence the water is impure
1d
Human reaction time on the use of electronic 
stopwatch
1e
effect of solid on the rate of gas production from 
hydrogen peroxide
2ai
X : cannot be identified
Y : vitamin D
Z : vitamin K
2aii
No as it contain a spot X which is not any of the 
known fat-soluble or 
water-soluble vitamins
2b
To react and give a colour with the colourless 
spots so that they can be located
2c
Only a small sample is required
3a
-          diagram shows 8 protons in nucleus
-          10 neutrons in nucleus
-          2 electrons in 1st shell, 6 electrons in 2nd shell
3bi
2 more neutrons (must specify the number)
3bii
16.1 (3 sf)
3c
correct electronic structure of sodium ion 
(2,8) – 2 ions
correct electronic structure of oxide ion 
(with 2 e- which is different)
4ai
Ce2(SO4)3 – 37 g
NaCl – 0 g
KClO3 – 0 g
4aii
31 g
4b
-          add about 20 g of solid sample
-          to 100 g of water at 0°C
-          filter if necessary to remove any 
insoluble solid
-          heat up the solution to about 28°C

B or I
 
No
Answer
6a
-          Group I as it has 1 valence electron
-          Period 4 as it has 4 shells of electrons
6b
-          roblium hydroxide
-          hydrogen gas
6c
-          no as it has ions
-          which are not mobile / held fixed in 
position at room conditions
6d
-          Ro2CO3
-          AlIs3
7a
-          water, H2O (both correct)
-          calcium sulfate, 20, 16, 8 (4)
-          PbI2, 82, 53(2)
7b
no; as nucleon number are made of total 
number of protons and neutrons for 2 
different elements, it is possible to 
have the same nucleon number
7c
atoms : 4
elements : 2
