It cannot prevent iron from rusting, Calcium reacts readily with water duralumin Stainless steel has the highest densityfis too heavy for making aircraft duralumin is lighter than stainless steeV/has a lower densit inless steel duralumin is more corrosion resistant/(mechanically) stronger than aluminium polystyrene Feeding bottles are usually sterilized by heating in boiling water, polyethene has a low mop. /cannot withstand the temperature of boiling water/deforms at the temperature of boiling water Urea-methanal. It cannot be moulded into the shape of a bottle/is not transparent (DO NOT accept urea-methanal is a thermosetting plastic alone.) @ acetylsalicylic acid/sodium acetylsalicylate/acetyisalicylate (i) magnesium hydroxide/aluminium hydroxide/calcium hydroxide/ sodium hydrogencarbonate/magnesium carbonate/calcium carbonate! magnesium t () —_ cough suppressant/in cough mixture/pain relief/reduce activity of nervous system (i) codeine may cause drowsiness/addiction (iii) legislation : consumers can purchase codeine containing cough mixture from drug stores only if he can produce a doctor's prescription or, education : teach the public the danger of codeine abuse qQ) - 7 ap qa) @G) Marks (@) Using pH paper/universal indicator/pH meter 1 (&) pH: IM sulphuric acid < 1M hydrochloric acid < IM ethanoic acid 1 ethanoic acid is a weak acid/undergoes incomplete ionization . it has the highest pH 1 or, both hydrochloric acid and sulphuric acid are strong acids/undergo complete ionization a ‘sulphuric acid is dibasic while hydrochloric acid is monobasic“. 1M H,SO, contains 1 a higher concentration of H’(aq) ions than 1M HCL (1 mark for the correct order; 2 marks for the explanation. The order and the explanation should be marked separately.) () Because it is alkaline. Solution C has a pH which is too high and may cause the hair to look : duller/feel coarser/break more easily. or, C because it is alkaline. The higher pH of C will make the curls more permanent a 7 © Marks Chemical Knowledge (5 marks) Dissolve the nickel(I1) sulphate crystals in the distilled water (in the beaker) 1 Connect the clean metal spoon to the negative terminal and the nickel plate 1 to the positive terminal of the power supply/connect the spoon and the nickel plate to the power supply with the spoon as the cathode and the nickel plate as the anode Immerse/dip the spoon and the nickel plate in the nickel(I1) sulphate solution, 1 Observation (Any TWO of the following) 2 a layer of nickel (silvery/greyish metal) is deposited onto the spoon O) the thickness of the nickel plate decreases a the colour of the nickel({1) sulphate solution remains unchanged a) ©) Effective communication (3 marks) General guidelines for marking effective communication : (i) The mark for effective communication should relate to the candidate’s knowledge in chemistry. A candidate who wrote a paragraph which is tofaily unrelated to the question should deserve zero marks both in chemical knowledge and in effective communication. (For this question, award a max. of 1 mark (C) for effective communication, if only the observation is written in paragraph form.) Gi) The table below illustrates the relationship between the mark for chemical knowledge and the maximum mark for effective communication, together with the points to be considered in marking effective communication. mark for chemical maximum mark for points to be considered in knowledge effective communication paragraph (iii) below 4 or above 3 (A), B) and (C) 3 or below 2 (B) and (C) 1 ii) The three marks for effective communication are awarded as follows : (A) the ability to present ideas in a precise manner, including the proper use of chemical terms (this mark should not be awarded to answers which contained a lot of incorrecUsuperfluous materials), 1 (B) _theability to present ideas in a systematic manner (i.¢., the answer is easy to follow); (C) the ability to present answer in paragraph form and to express ideas using full sentences. — GB)
