    AQA CHEM 2 June 2012 paper and unofficial mark scheme
    Hi all
    As promised, here is a link to the paper, I've scanned it and uploaded to my skydive on hotmail. It may take a while to load, but you should be able to download and print it off as you wish
    June 2012 paper
    The mark scheme is in the next post, thanks to knocker

    Mark scheme
    A big thanks to knocker for this mark scheme
    If you use this please give them some rep.

    Question 1:
    (a) steeper line, ending twice as high (2)
    (b) less steep line, ending 2/5 as high (2)
    (c) steeper line, ending at same level (2)
    (d) concentration of reactants decreases with time, hence frequency of collisions decreases as does the rate (2)
    (e) 2 H2O2 --> 2 H2O + O2 (1)
    (f) The HBr is not used up (1)

    Question 2:
    (a)(i) -49 (3)
    (ii) it is an element (1)
    (b) increases, 4 moles gas --> 2 moles gas, eqilibrium shifts right to oppose the change (3)
    (c) increases, reaction is endothermic, equilibrium shifts right to oppose the change (3)
    (d)(i) no net carbon produced (1)
    (ii) CH3OH + 3/2 O2 --> CO2 + 2 H2O (1)
    (iii) 3 H2 + 3/2 O2 --> 3 H2O (1)
    (e) q = 4389 J, DH = - -399 kJ/mol (3)


    Question 3:
    (a) balancing equation 2/15/15/6(1)
    (b) P4 = zero, H3PO4 = +5 (2)
    (c) Add up Ar values to show they are different to 5dp (1)
    (d)(i) speeds up rate of reaction without being used up (1)
    (ii) addition of water (1)
    (iii) CH3CH=CH2 + H2O --> CH3CH(OH)CH3, propan-2-ol (2)

    Question 4:
    (a) Forms brittle TiC (1)
    (b)(i) 2 FeTiO3 + 7 Cl2 + 6 C --> 2 FeCl3 + 2 TiCl4 + 6 CO (1)
    (ii) TiCl4 + FeCl3 + 7 Na --> Fe + Ti + 7 NaCl (1)
    (c) Cu2+ + Fe --> Cu + Fe2+, Cu2+ ions reduced as they gain electrons (2)
    (d) 2 O2- --> O2 + 4e (1)

    Question 5:
    (a)(i) Ba + 2 H2O --> Ba(OH)2 + H2 (1)
    (ii) reactivity increases (1)
    (b) Mg(OH)2 (1)
    (c) Barium meal / X-ray tracer, insoluble (2)

    Question 6:
    (a)
    (i) Cl2 --> 2 Cl.
    CH2Cl2 + Cl. --> .CHCl2 + HCl
    .CHCl2 + Cl2 --> CHCl3 + Cl. (3)
    (ii) UV light, Free-radical substitution (2)
    (b)
    (i) CHCl3 + Cl2 --> CCl4 + HCl (1)
    (ii) CHCl3 contains C-H bonds, no C-H absorption at 2850-3300 (2)
    (c) CFC's - UV light breaks C-Cl bond, makes Cl. radicals
    Cl. + O3 --> ClO. + O2
    ClO. + O3 --> 2 O2 + Cl. chain reaction
    2 O3 --> 3 O2 (4)
    (d)
    (i) CH2=C(F)CF3 (1)
    (ii) it contains no C-Cl bonds (1)

    Question 7:
    (a)
    (i) elimination mechanism (3)
    (ii) E hex-3-ene (H's on opposite sides) and Z-hex-3-ene (H's on same side) (2)
    (iii) Same MF and SF, different arrangement of atoms in space (2)
    (b) H2SO4 electrophilic addition mechanism (4)

    Question 8:
    (a) Safety - NaOH is corrosive, Environmental - Process 2 uses CO2 from local factory, less CO2 emissions/global warming (2)
    (b)
    (i) Nucleophilic substitution with :OH- (3)
    (ii) BCA (3)
    (c) Fermentation, low temperature 35oC, High pressure, Yeast catalyst, aqueous solution, anaerobic conditions to prevent ethanol retaking with air to form ethanoic acid (4)
    (d) primary alcohol, acidified potassium dichromate(VI)
    CH2(OH)CH2CH2CH2OH + 4[O] --> HOOCCH2CH2COOH + 2 H2O (3)

    Question 9:
    (a)
    (i) Iodine/I2, Cl2 + 2 I- --> 2 Cl- + I2, redox/displacement (3)
    (ii) silver(I) chloride, Ag+ + Cl- --> AgCl, ppt dissolves (3)
    (b)
    (i) H+ + Cl- --> HCl, HCl (2)
    (ii) 2 I- --> I2 + 2e-
    H2SO4 + 8 H+ + 8 e- --> H2S + 4 H2O
    H2SO4 = oxidising agent, yellow solid = sulfur/S/S8 (4)
    (iii) NaOH reacts with H+, equilibrium shifts right to make more H+ and opppose the change
    bromine is used in small quantities

    The average of the last four papers is:
    A: 74
    B: 66
    C: 57

    It is I dunno whether to think I'm stupid for missing out the easy mark or are they just daft for not making it clear and drawing out attention to the questions at the bottom ya know by actually putting lines in for us to WRITE ON.
